Scarce hardcover 1970 yearbook for the Lakeside School, a private school located in Seattle, Washington, 8.75 x 11.25, which pictures students Bill Gates (freshman) and Paul Allen (junior) seated side-by-side at a table in the basement of Bliss Hall, with Gates looking over his shoulder and Allen placing his hand on the keyboard of a teletype machine. Despite being grades apart, Allen and Gates became friends over their shared interest in computers, often using Lakeside's Teletype terminals to develop their programming skills on several time-sharing computer systems. When Lakeside was closed, the duo ventured to the laboratory of the Computer Science Department of the University of Washington for personal research and computer programming; they were banned in 1971 for abusing their privileges. In fine condition, with some scuffing to covers. A rare yearbook with an iconic photo of the future tech innovators.
