About this Item

S.E. Hinton began work on The Outsiders when she was a sophomore attending Will Rogers High School in 1964. She would complete the groundbreaking novel as a junior before showing it to the mother of one of her classmates (Donna Bachmann) who in turn passed it on to a friend and published author that encouraged Hinton to send it to her agent. Hinton graduated in 1966 and The Outsiders was published by Viking Press in 1967. This copy of The Lariat '64, Will Rogers High School Yearbook features S.E. Hinton's sophomore photo and was signed by Hinton to Anne Kilgrew (a classmate of Hinton's) the year she began work on The Outsiders: "Anne,/ Espero que tenemos/ un año bueno in la/ clase de español. Amigos par tiempre/ Susita" roughly translated to "I hope we have a good year in Spanish class. Friends forever/ Susie". At some point Kilgrew wrote last names as well as graduation years beside each signature. Next to "Susita" she wrote "Hinton '66". A unique piece during the writing of what BBC News listed as one of "100 Novels That Shaped Our World" in 2019. VG in original plastic sleeve w/ minor bump to head of spine.
