Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Thus. Original Kingscraft Deluxe Covers yearbook with padded & decorated covers over boards. 120pp. Filled, of course, with class, staff, and activities photos, and with lots of student notes, best wishes and all that to the original owner which fill up preliminary and rear pages, with some written on interior pages. 1952 was sasquatch icon Roger Patterson's senior graduation year. Little could he have known the fame he would garner over his filming a sasquatch in northern California in 1967. Little did he know that his 1966 book, Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist? would become one of the most coveted books in the Bigfoot genre. Roger's senior portrait is on page 36 along with his school activities in terms of sports, etc.: Boys glee club, baseball, football, Gold Y (whatever that is), & FFA (Future Farmer's of America), but not all in his senior year. A bit of a bonus is that this year was also the4 senior year of Al DeAtley, Roger's famous / infamous brother-in-law. His portrait is also in the senior class section. What makes this yearbook also a bit of a Patterson-related prize is that in the football section there is a photograph of Patterson carrying the football and being tackled. Very good condition. Traces of wear to cover corners. Very scarce and a must have for a serious collector of sasquatch books and Patterson material in particular.…
