Yearbooks for Sale!
In 2001, we let our membership know we would accept any yearbooks they wanted to donate. The first yearbooks we received were used to build a Yearbook Library. Through the generous donation of many alumni, we were able to build a collection of one yearbook for every West graduation year starting with 1912 through 2018 – except 1913, 1917, and 1994.
Our Yearbook Library is a great resource for our newsletter editor to verify graduation years, find articles and pictures for the Alumni Newsletter, and look for information we often get questions for from alumni and alumni families.
These generous yearbook donations have resulted in us having multiple yearbooks for several years, especially for the graduation years of the 1920s through the 1950s. We often receive yearbooks when an alum is downsizing a home, when two alums are married and have duplicate yearbooks, and when a deceased alums family donates yearbooks.
We sell the extra yearbooks to our alumni! Since 2001 we have sold over 400 yearbooks. That is almost $12,000 of proceeds that have been deposited in our Alumni Scholarship Foundation Fund.
