LISBON HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK - 1964  

WITH STEPHEN KING (printed: STEVE) as THE NEWS EDITOR of the schoolpaper, "THE DRUM." 

There are 2 pics of him as sophomore: one with "The Drum" staff, the other with his classmates.

AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL DOCUMENT, A PIECE OF HISTORY OF ONE OF THE NOTABLE and LEADING AUTHORS IN THE WORLD.

SUPER COLLECTIBLE ITEM FOR STEPHEN KING'S MEMORABILIA FANS and BIOGRAPHERS.

 

The winner, if an American, might be pretty lucky to get it signed by S. King some day. It will be worth a fortune. Signed celebrity yearbooks fetch high prices.

I wonder whether Stephen King himself has his own copy. I tend to believe I am the only one to own it as some Stephen King collectors confirmed they NEVER SAW ONE FOR SALE IN THE MARKETPLACE. A true rare gem. I invite all King's fans to the party.

In his "On Writing", Stephen King refers to his sophomoric years in Lisbon High School and many school characters he mentions are showing up in this yearbook:

 

- Mr. Higgins, the Principal, ("Old-Cue Ball"). 

- Miss Margitan who wanted to suspend Stephen King from school because he wrote a satire naming her Maggot and she "had been very hurt." Two years later she vetoed him from the National Honor Society (pic). 

- Mr. Diehl ("Old Raw Diel", with his signature).

- Miss Rapach ("Rat Pack") who confiscated King's "The Village" written for the                      schoolpaper, "The Drum."

- English teacher Mr. Ricker ("Cow Man", with his signature). 

- Robert Ransone ("Bullet"), a Senior, who broke the basketball scoring record and                Stephen King wrote a sidebar about it which became the trampoline for his future                 writing.
