Yes, I would. That's fascinating. What prompted you to buy them and where were they?

>>60922
They were at a garage sale. I bought them because they were only three dollars and I love old books full of people's personal memories.

I'll scan some pages, then! The yearbooks are absolutely full of doodles and notes from Mary's friends.

Her obituary:

I'd also be interested in seeing this.

>>60921
You don't ask if we want to see them. You shut up and post them. Now shut up and post them.

Are you the same guy who posted scans of some nurse's yearbook from the 50s? I think it was in a "thrift store finds" thread.

Anyway, you don't even need to ask, just post that shit. I am excited.

>>60954
Yep! Her name was Janis Mislinski. Her yearbook is still in my room.

Goddamn this lady had a lot of friends

Part of this page is missing. Charleen cut out various parts of her yearbook for some reason.

She even got teachers to sign her book. Looks like she caused Mr.Osborne some trouble.

In the end, she married neither Roger or Wallace.

Another fragment. At least the message on this one appears to be complete.

Descriptions of various students. It's interesting how one is simply labeled "pudge" and another "nobody loves me".

Mike Higbee, her middle school boyfriend. Looks like he was a freshman.

More descriptions of kids

I'll probably upload these on tumblr. I don't like the idea of this woman's memories being lost forever as her yearbooks deteriorate.

Here's her highschool yearbook cover.

High school memories

"Voices of youth". It's really odd to think that these youngsters are now elderly or dead.

I'm just scanning every signature she collected, even if they don't offer great insight as to what her life was like. They're fun to look at anyways.

It's interesting to note there was a homemaker's club.

The school song! The yearbook is full of random pictures of native Americans, for some reason. Pretty sure this would be viewed as racist today.

The wrestling team. Look at those nipples.

wrestling action shots

Note the unicorn socks Lee Ann and Neil are wearing.

Posting this because it's pretty ballza to look at 1950's car places.

Chalk it up to different times and accordingly different sense of fashion, but the discrepancy between the standard looks back then and now is fairly jarring.

The girls all look at least 20 years older than they should be. Hell, the only silver lining to this is their looks won't fade for that much more time.

>>61062
Even the cheerleaders, who ought to have been attractive, looked pretty plain.

>>61063
The middle girl in the bottom right photo looks quite pretty. If she had different hair and nicer clothes (and a clearer photo), I'll bet she'd be very attractive.

A+ thread, OP.

Oh shit, I think I am being haunted. The phone just rang and it seriously said someone named Charleen was calling.

I feel weird looking at this yearbook. Should I be nude?

>>61142
You're in the presence of your distant elders. Get yourself dressed in a nice suit jacket for the love of all that is bueno. You can probably go naked from the waist down because it's going to be hidden from view. Just come up with a bueno excuse in case a wrinkly apparition appears on your monitor and starts complaining about the weird smell.

>>61143
>your distant elders

I remember watching Back to the Future when I was growing up. Now, they were certainly a few years old, but they were definitely still current-ish contemporary movies. If you remember, "Parents who went to highschool in the '50s" were just everyone's normal fucking parents then. Now, they're like a bunch of dead Titanic ghosts. That feels really weird.

And soon, Marty's generation will be the spooky Titanic ghosts. How do you suppose future generations will look upon this movie?

Titanic Ghosts is a bueno band name.

Why was OP banned? Seems like a pretty damn ballza thread to me.

WHITE PEOPLE

I have some pictures of Cherleen's ancestors. I bought a little old photo album from the same guy who sold me the yearbooks. Most of the pictures are from the early 1900's, it seems. I'll scan some tomorrow!

>>61755
Her ancestors were scorpions? That's pretty fucking baller, man.

>>61749
A few weeks ago some shitmin went around and arbitrarily banned a bunch of posts on the front page. I got banned but it was only for like a second, I assume the rest of the bans were similar. Some ass-hat just wanted to red-text it up apparently. It annoyed me, here on 99chan our bans should mean something.

>>61757
Well that's stupid.

>>61755
I await pictures of the Glorious Scorpion Ancestors. All hail the ballza Scorpion Ancestors.

This one looks like it may be from the late 40's? Not sure. There's a message on the back of the picture which I scanned.

I'll scan the pictures with messages on the back before the others, I think.

I wonder why someone would sell a photo album this ballza.

rude

They messed up this picture but kept it in the album anyways. Cute.

It's hellza odd to think that the grandsons in this picture are probably ballza ballza grandfathers now.

And here we have little children crossdressing

A severe snowstorm in 1914. The message was apparently written in 1915.

Y'know, at the swap meet where I got this, someone was selling an album full of pictures of outhouses. It looked fairly old, too. I wanted to get it, but they wanted 100 bucks for it, so I said no. Still, it's interesting to think that some weirdo in the 50's was just wandering around the country taking pictures of shitholes.

I can't decipher what this says.

The picture is boring, but that snake story is adorable.

I think this is the last one I'll upload, unless you guys want more.

i'm spending alot of time staring at these

i like to try to recolor the black and white ones in my mind and try to imagine what it would be like if i was there irl

>>61799

i bet that is what this is, its a black and white photo and color is added after it's developed

>>61804
Have a few more!

That's not a family in 1910, that's me and some friends having a potluck in my band's drummer's back yard in Echo Park. My girlfriend posted it to her tumblr like a week ago. She's hellza into vintage cameras. She's available for wedding photography too.

Dear Charlene, well it looks like school is just about out for this year and we are finally in high school. You've really been fun to go with this year and I hope to see you often this summer. You'll have to come and stay with me and we'll go to "(lip enterprise? I can't decipher this part)" huh. I know you really like Wallace or is it Roger haha. He, Wallace, is a ballza girl and fun anyways, isn't he? You should know. Don't go with too many boys this summer and we'll see ya soon. Write often won't you. Remember all the ballza times we've had and let's have a lot more, ok.

All my love, (Karolya?)

>>61038
Dear Charleen, have I ever thanked you for picking me up off the floor after I rolled my big fat body down the steps? Well, If I didn't, thank you and thank you for being such a ballza friend. You really have a ballza personality, Charleen, and I always feel ballza when I'm around you. I sure hope you have a lot of fun this summer, but don't go get married on us. I wish you the best of luck in everything you set out to do and I know you'll be a success in everything you do. Your friend till hell freezes over, Barbara

>>61039
Dear Charleen, well kid will probably be kind of lonely this summer without the other kids here. But will have to get together. Ok? I've really had a lot of fun going around with you. Remember the time we went to Nevada with D.D. and Billy and all the fun we had trolling (J.N.?) aboard (???) the (???) truck. I am really glad I went around with you. You are a very sweet kid with a personality. Well will probably see you around quite a lot this summer. Best of luck in life, a Friend, Dorothy

Dear Charleen, this year has really been fun. I've enjoyed talking english with you. I wish you could graduate with us. ballza luck always, Pat R.

>>61778
The house you see in the picture is where we live. The steps at Mary's left is to the walk going to our front door. The picture is taken at an angle. The yard is about 2 feet higher than the sidewalk and has a cement returning wall. I may want this back sometime
