Here’s a subtly snarky DIY page in Garner-Webb’s 1974 yearbook.  The implication is that if you weren’t already in the yearbook, you were a nobody.  They grant that you might have been “so involved” with college life that you basically became an invisible blur.  They even caution you to spell your own name correctly.  This must have been crafted by someone with previous yearbook experience, putting up defenses against disgruntled students in advance.  Yearbook editors might just as well put up their defenses, because as a body they frankly have a lot of failures to account for!  (Sorry, guys!  I can relate to your desire, but at the very least hacks ought to be modest.)

Here’s my gallery of unusual imagery from vintage college yearbooks.

Hôtel Martel by Robert Mallet-Stevens, c.1927, Paris, France.
