The Board of Publication of The Tatler Year-Book of the Shelby High School. Published by the Senior Class 1914. Volume I. Dawn Powell - Editor

First and only edition. Oblong quarto. [76]pp. Illustrated from photographs. Ribbon-tied embossed gray wrappers. Small stains on front wrap, a little wear on the ribbon, small tears at the spine ends, else near fine. Powell's first publication. Aside from her Senior Class photo, a photo of her slumped exhaustedly at the editor's table, and other photos, Powell's influence is all over the book. There are a few essays by others, but it seems likely that she wrote most of the text of the book, which is replete with humor, thinly veiled sarcasm, and hijinks in sections such as "Komics" and "Rules for Students." She is also mentioned in various other sections of the book. The Senior Class consisted of only 30 students and presumably the print run was exceptionally small. Rare. Powell biographer Tim Page notes that only three copies are known to survive, we've never seen another. *OCLC* locates no copies.
