| I usually do research in Northern Iowa. Today while looking in a thrift shop in Waverly, Iowa I ran accross a 1942 Burlington High School yearbook. It is not indexed, but would be willing to do look-ups for anyone who may need it. There is a small section in the back just labeled College. Photos of who was on the honor roll and then class photos of the freshmen with their names. Also covers other misc. items such as student council, sports, etc. |
