The Traveler – 1916 – Yearbook

Rescued School Yearbook  –  Plainview, Texas

There are some surprises in this college yearbook….. take a look!

I wonder just how cool it would have been to say you went to primary school at Wayland Baptist College? Yes, some of the photos area little blurry.

The pages are made of something that is a shiny paper they are hard to photograph.

Plus, I’m trying really hard not to bend it open to much because it is literally falling apart! The more I handle the worse it gets. So with that said, I have done the best I could do at getting copies of it. But it is still a gem!

If you find a family member in the yearbook and you would like an individual photo of that person, let us know and I will be happy to help you get that photo for your family tree.

Some pages have been cropped a little so you can see them better as well. I hope you find one your relatives here, mine are the Hamiltons.
