Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce local history.

In addition to a thorough history of the Denison schools over the years, a major portion of the volume features nicely reproduced high school yearbook names and photos from 1911 through 1954 - an outstanding genealogy and family history tool.
