Description

Delp's high school diploma and yearbook—"Have you heard the new Beatle album?"

Brad Delp's diploma from Danvers High School and personally-owned 1969 yearbook from his senior year. The diploma is in its original leatherette folder gilt-stamped "Danvers High School," 8.25 x 6.25, and reads: "This Certifies That Bradley Edward Delp, having completed the Course of Study prescribed by the School Committee for graduation from the Danvers High School is now granted this Diploma. Danvers, Massachusetts, June 5, 1969." The 1969 Danvers High School Heritage yearbook, 9 x 11.25, 256 pages, depicts Delp as a member of the senior class on page 171, with an appropriate 'senior quote' below his portrait: "Have you heard the new Beatle album?" It also lists his activities as variety show, boys choir, and glee club. Also includes an original circa late 1960s form letter promoting Delp's high school band The Monks, as well as a small poster advertising their 2001 reunion. In overall very good to fine condition, with a bit of scuffing to the back cover of the yearbook, and creasing, toning, and paper loss to edge of the letter; both the yearbook and diploma are remarkably well-preserved for their age. From the Brad Delp Collection, and accompanied by a letter of provenance from Micki Delp.
