1915D31171915. Hardcover. Very Good. Cloth-backed boards 4 by 6.75 inches with "Traveling with the Class of 1915" handwritten in ink on upper board now quite faint and "Turn Over" handwritten in ink on lower board; approx. 120 lined pages nearly all of them full of handwritten text and drawings -- including quirky illuminated initials made to look like faces and an illustrated alphabet -- contributed by a small group of people perhaps 3 or 4 North Hudson. "'The Class of 1915' is made up of pupils from every town on the map of North Hudson. Union Hill Blue Stone City Guttenburge Woodcliff West Hoboken and Weehawken." William Broadhead the self-proclaimed editor of the "Junior Bug" seems to be the character at the helm. Straight off he warns us "Please do not wet your fingers to turn the pages." He is joined by an unnamed young lady who contributes poetry in her careful florid script and a fellow illustrator who appears to mark his contributions as "Prof. G. Brea" and who possibly also contributes some text. They've fashioned an odd little collaborative piece begun in 1913 and finished in 1915 that showcases their arcane self-referential humor some of these must we hope be "inside jokes" at the same time that it reflects the universally madcap weirdness that is high school. Sophs are compared to Juniors who're in turn disdained by Seniors. Dumb class answers are ridiculed in cartoon. Silliness abounds. And while the humor may be a bit dated or just weird the substance is timeless. Boards scuffed; a few pages detached and laid-in. With a very nice custom clamshell box brown cloth and gilt-stamped paper spine label. <br/><br/> hardcover books
