Koufax inscribes his classmate's yearbook beside his own photo, ''to [illegible] Good Luck + Best Wishes for the future. / Sandy''. Koufax is pictured in his senior year on the baseball and basketball teams, and in a photo from his being voted Class Athlete. One segment reads, ''Lafayette, having a young, but promising team, has developed some of the future greats of basketball. The most notable player is capable SANDY KOUFAX, who has been scouted and will most likely be a future professional basketball player...'' Beside each senior's photo is the grad's goal and future college; Koufax cites his as, ''To be successful and make my family proud of me''. Ultimately the UCLA-bound basketball player became a baseball player for the University of Cincinnati. Unpaginated book measures 7.75'' x 11''. Bound in textured cloth boards in beige with maroon lettering. Fading to inscription, moisture damage to leaves, standard signatures and separation to the interior front hinge, else in very good condition with a total of 4 photos and 5 mentions of Koufax.
