Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a hand made high school year book assembled by Jessie K Huffman who attended Pekin High School in Pekin, Illinois. She graduated in 1916, one of 42 in her class. 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. An unusual item is the thin cardboard four page Junior-Senior Banquet Menu with attached pencil & a sample of the material from her gown. The book is filled with memorabilia of all kinds relating to the graduation year including a few photos. 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 1920's 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. VERY GOOD Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng. Signed by Author.
