Students are pictured in groups by class or club, a comprehensive look at the student body and faculty. One student text titled, "The Corn Field" written and illustrated by an Edward T. Miller is a satirical take on higher education from the character of a corn farmer, one passage reading "But you college students will learn in the course of a year or so, there are things not in them books that'll be mighty handy to know--some things old nature'll teach you, when y'come to shockin' your row." The yearbook is a charming testament to the boisterous class spirit at the time. A souvenir for students to remember their time together. Small crack to front hinge has loosened text block slightly. Scuffing on front cover. Textblock clean. Overall good condition.
