Lot #2: Captain Kangaroo Bob Keeshan's Own High School Yearbook From His Senior Year in 1945 -- Voted ''Class Actor'' -- Signed by Keeshan Himself to Identify Book as His

Description

Robert Keeshan's own personal yearbook from his senior year of high school, signed ''Bob Keeshan'' by him upon the fly-leaf. Keeshan attended Forest Hills High School in Queens, New York, graduating in 1945. Keeshan's name appears on the ''Social Register'' page, voted ''Class Actor'' by his peers. His photo was omitted from the book, and ironically, even his name was omitted from the ''Camera Shy'' list of names of students whose photos didn't appear. An ''x'' appears with a note in Keeshan's hand in the ''Camera Shy'' column that reads, ''Me too''. Yearbook is bound in brown cloth boards with gilt lettering. Measures 7.75'' x 10.75''. Cracking to fabric of exterior hinges resulting in separation of backstrip, slight buckling to boards and general wear, with standard yearbook signatures within.
