Rare 1959 Hibbing High School yearbook, Hematite, 180 pages, 8 x 10.5, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint on an interior page, “I bet you’re mad that school’s ending, huh? It’s been great having you in here but we had more fun in dramatics. There’ll never be another class like that. And out at Judy’s was fun too; only if I walked in on you when you were in the bathroom. I’m so sorry. I think it was you. It was a blast rehearsing that play in speech; you look pretty good as a boy—(that’s a complement.) Well Pat, I wish to you & Tom the best of luck an’ everything like that; maybe I’ll see you this summer. A Sincere Friend, Bob Z.” Dylan also appears in his (unsigned) senior class photo on page 76 as “Robert Zimmerman.” The volume’s is completely separated along the inside spine (but still attached by the back cover’s hinge). The area surrounding Dylan’s signature, and his likeness are all in otherwise fine condition.

This high school memento of the then-Robert Zimmerman includes the prophetic mention of the senior’s dream “to join Little Richard” and escape the small Minnesota mining town. The singer may not have earned the accolades of ‘Most Talented’ or ‘Most Musically Inclined’ in this senior publication—despite having “fun in dramatics” and “a blast rehearsing that play in speech”—but his lifetime influence on music cannot be overstated. A real piece of rock-and-roll history displaying Dylan’s early, carefully penned, diminutive script.
