“Yellow Jacket” 1957 High School Yearbook, 8.25" x 10.5,” 151pp, including a young Lee Harvey Oswald, who would later be accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy. An original yearbook for Arlington Heights High School in Ft. Worth, Texas, belonging to a male classmate of Oswald's.

He is seen in a humorous vignette on page 104, with a picture in his 10th-grade biology class, captioned "'Bing! You're hypnotized,' says Janet Bolin to Lee Oswald in the old bio lab." With signatures of various students on the front and back pastedowns, free endpapers, and some of the inner pages. In fine condition, with light wear to the spine edges and volume corners and minor soiling to some internal pages. A yearbook was previously sold at RR Auction for $2500 in November 2020.
