class yearbooks

Signed graduation keepsakes

Class yearbooks are commemorative books produced annually by schools, typically containing photographs of students and faculty, records of activities, and memories from the academic year.

Each graduating class usually has a dedicated section with individual portraits and often superlatives like "most likely to succeed." She spent hours signing classmates' yearbooks on the last day of school.
