This is NOT a complete scan of the 1947 Phoenix (NY) school yearbook - it is only about 50% of the book, but it represents a fair collection of the material therein. Because I am using a hand scanner, and because I am not dismantling the books, and because the binding of the yearbook forces a bubble at the center when the book is open, there are shadows and distortions on the pages. Still, a fair amount of the material can be read.
The 1947 yearbook returns to a softcover publication, but the pages begin to look professionally done: print instead of handwriting to identify students, pages printed double-sided, heavier paper and it includes group photos of all grade levels, K-11 with individual photos for seniors.
Inside the book cover, a Mrs. Corson's name is written - I would suspect it was her book that was donated to the library. In the 1960's memory books from the new EJD middle school (1966-67 and others) the National Junior Honor Society in Phoenix is called the "Carolyn Corson Chapter." I don't know if that designation is still used in the district.
