Two yearbooks from Dean’s time at Fairmount High School in Indiana: a hardcover 1947 ‘Black and Gold’ yearbook, depicting Dean inside as part of the sophomore class, the ‘F Club,’ basketball team, and baseball team, and also listing him as a cast member of the the sophomore play ‘Mooncalf Mugford’; and a softcover 1948 ‘Black and Gold’ yearbook, depicting Dean as part of the 4-H Club, basketball team, and ‘F Club.’ Dean’s class photo has been torn out of the 1948 yearbook. Also includes an original issue of The Fairmount News from October 6, 1955, announcing Dean’s tragic death in a car accident. In overall very good condition, with various tears inside yearbooks, and several pages loose or detached. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, freelance reporter Glenn McCurdy, in part: “I was given the Fairmount High School yearbooks by Dean’s uncle, Marcus Winslow, while doing research for this series of articles in Fairmount, Indiana, where Dean grew up.” Accompanied by copies of McCurdy’s articles about Dean. A wonderful grouping of material offering insight into Dean's formative years, including an early taste of acting in 'Mooncalf Mugford.'
