First edition of this remarkable yearbook published during the Great Depression when the enrollment and staffing numbers at the Centralia Junior College located at the time on the third floor of Centralia High School had fallen dangerously low. The photos reveal hazing rituals sporting events dances theatre productions as well as an extended ski trip to Mt. Rainier with photos of skiers ski jumping and the members at the time. Of particular interest is the group of 12 photographs showing the opening night of Disney’s Snow White at the Fox Theatre in downtown Centralia hosted by the Men’s Club with the organizers in costume and photos taken during the running of the film and carefully mounted in sequence inside the yearbook. Founded in 1925Centralia Junior College began with 15 students and 6 instructors with not tuition and by 1929 the enrollment had expanded to 133 students and offered courses in many areas but as a result of the Great Depression enrollment plunged and the college nearly bankrupt because the banks had failed. Dean Margaret Corbet asked each of the staff members what they could survive on and business leaders in Centralia acted as loan guarantors to keep the College scraping by for a few years.

The very scarce first issue of James Joyce's first trade book preceded by two broadsides. This is the first binding variant according to Smoot and Cahoon A3: "First variant: Thick laid end papers with horizontal chain lines. 16.2 x 11 cm. Poems in signature C well centered on page." Published in a total edition of 509 copies. According to booksellers Bernard Quaritch Bulletin 19 1984 only "fifty or a hundred" copies of the first variant were bound and issued in 1907.
