About this Item

This is a hand made high school year book assembled by Emily C Lipps who attended Faribault High School in Faribault, Minnesota. She graduated in 1918. Book size about 6 by 9 inches. Bound in tan cloth over boards with front cover gilt lettering and image of a young woman--decorated spine. One of those early Yearbooks where the publisher provided an outline of what to enter in the book and then the student filled-in the book in whatever manner they chose. Book begins with two glued-in photos of the 'Ladies Band' and 'Red Cross Band' marching down Main Street in Faribault. Many hand written entries from classmates and teachers. Includes a rare World War One U. S Government War-Savings Stamps four page brochure. Also includes newspaper clippings and other printed material relating to school graduation. I could say this is rare, but it is actually unique, one of a kind, as are all these old hand-made yearbooks. A reference book for Women's Studies showing how the young girl of the 1918 era was educated. This is one volume in a collection of some 65 of these old Yearbooks ranging from the late 1800's to the 1930's mostly from the Midwest which will be in my book seller catalog titled 'Women'. Usual wear and tear from constant handling while being assembled. GOOD Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng.
