This is for all you John Wayne fans. It's the 1923 and 1924 yearbooks from "The Duke's" high school, Glendale Union High School. In the 1924 edition, Wayne, known by his birth name Marion Morrison, is noted for being the junior class vice president and as an actor in the school play, "Dulcy".He's also pictured as a member of the football team.

In the 1923 edition, Wayne's sophomore year, he was again vice president of his class and a member of the "Lightweight" football team.

Upon graduation, Wayne would enroll at University of Southern California and play football where he would meet teammate Ward Bond and together, they would get part time work lugging scenery on movie sets. It was here that he was spotted by director John Ford and the rest is history.

Books are in decent condition for their age and readable. A real unique lot for movie fans. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
