Identifier: 21/01/04

Scope and Contents

This collection consists of editions of the Malcolm Price Laboratory School yearbook. There are gaps in this collection that may reflect years in which the annual was not published. The annuals primarily document the high school portion of the school, but many of the volumes also include coverage of the elementary and middle school students. In addition to the yearbooks, the collection includes miscellaneous content; a 1956 class reunion book; a 1976 bicentennial booklet; and a 1997 commencement program. CDs were also evidently used in the production of the yearbooks and span the years 2000-2011. They are located at the end of the collection and are arranged chronologically.
