I really enjoyed this deep dive! I snag old yearbooks when I find them to cut up for collage, but I'm so focused on people and text that I've never examined them from a design context. This is a gorgeous book!
I loved this!!! My grandfather was the captain of the MSU basketball team in ‘39 and there’s a statue of him on campus, so while I didn’t attend MSU it has a dear place in my heart. I want to go and see if I can find a ‘39 edition of this to give to my dad. So good!!! Thanks for sharing.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for letting me know—these deep cuts don’t always have mass appeal so I appreciate hearing when people dig it.
I’ve never actually grabbed a yearbook for collage before but they’d be perfect for that!

That’s so cool! I love that.
Here’s a digital version of the ‘39 book: https://d.lib.msu.edu/msuyearbooks/26067
I was wrong, looks like he was a senior in ‘40 but I found that book! Thanks so much for this 💕
