Rare softcover 1924 Stylus yearbook from John Wayne's junior year at Glendale Union High School in Glendale, California, 8 x 10.75, signed inside twice in fountain pen using his given name, "Marion Morrison." Wayne signs on page 121, which depicts him as a member of the junior class, and on page 159, which depicts him as a player on the school's football team. He is also shown as a delegate to the second semester cabinet, and as a member of the Glendale High stage crew. In very good to fine condition, with wear and chipping to the covers, and the spine crudely repaired with tape and the textblock inserted upside down; interior pages are all fine, with small construction paper bookmarks affixed with old tape to the pages on which Wayne is pictured (small green arrows are also drawn to his images). In his senior year, Morrison would lead the Glendale High Dynamiters football team to the league championship as a starting guard. When he began his career in film with Fox, Morrison adopted the tougher screen name 'John Wayne.' A wonderful pair of early autographs from a Hollywood icon.
