Non-Paper Memorabilia

Binghamton Central High School yearbook. 1897. The Panorama Annual, Binghamton, New York. 8.5” x 5.5” inches. Green boards with gilt gold text on front cover. Yearbook includes class lists, various organizations and clubs, student and faculty photos, humorous illustrations and historic advertisements. One student satire titled "The High School Piano" reads, "Although it was with much sorrow that we learned, last fall, of the abduction of the Rostrum Carpet, we console ourselves with the fact that the piano still remains with us. This priceless antiquity, being one of the few remaining relics of our school, should be kept under a glass case; but we must confess that it is shamefully abused before our very eyes." One illustration shows a young man with two thought bubbles above him showing him dancing with a woman and a separate woman posing. Underneath the caption, “This is why he didn’t pass his exams.” The book is a charming overview of the boisterous student body. Scuffing and staining to covers. Overall good condition.
