Hardcover 1953 The Herald yearbook from Humes High School in Memphis, Tennessee, 112 pages, 8 x 11, signed next to his senior portrait in ink, "Best of luck to you in the future, Elvis." The caption below his portrait indicates that Presley majored in “Shop, History, English,” and that he was a member of the ROTC, Biology Club, English Club, History Club, and Speech Club. Another section of the yearbook includes the "Last Will and Testament" of each student, with Section 83 reading: “Donald Williams, Raymond McCraig and Elvis Presley leave hoping there will be someone to take their places as 'teacher's pets.' ???????" Elvis is also pictured on pages 56 and 60, showing him seated in the back row of his English and Biology classes. The yearbook is also signed by class president George Klein, Presley's lifelong best friend, a key member of the inner circle known as the ‘Memphis Mafia,’ and a prominent Memphis radio and television icon. The remainder of the interior, including the page signed by Presley, bears numerous other students' signatures. In very good to fine condition, with partial separation of the textblock from the binding, and wear and rubbing to spine and covers. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Grad Authentication. Signed material from this early, pre-fame period of Elvis' life is considerably scarce and sought-after.
