• Index

There are many autographs in this yearbook, which belonged to freshman Eleanor Larsen.

The book suffers from only a little shelfwear, most notably at the corners of the front cover, and the first free (heavy stock) end page is pulling away at the top. All 164 glossy pages are present, clean, and free of dog-ears. There is no mildew, water or vermin damage, and there are no stuck pages. One page has a vertical tear at the bottom of perhaps an inch and a half, and another a similar tear at the top. No paper has been lost. The binding is tight.

This annual year book is 10 3/4 inches tall and 8 inches wide, and weighs 1 pound 15 ounces.
