(1939 - 1963) American assassin of President John F. Kennedy who Oswald shot in Dallas, November 22, 1963. Oswald was in turn murdered by nightclub owner Jack Ruby days later. Very rare book, Oswald's class yearbook ""Yellow Jacket"", issued by Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth in 1957. Oswald's photo appears once in the book, on page 104 where he appears chest, up in profile in a candid pose and laughing as a classmate points at him. The caption reads: ""'Bing! You're hypnotized,' says Janet Bolin to Lee Oswald in the old bio lab"". In September, 1957 Oswald enrolled in the 10th grade at Arlington Heights High School but attended classes for only a few weeks. He dropped out of school on September 28th and, a few days later, wrote to the Socialist Party of America seeking to join a youth league: ""...I am a Marxist, and have been studying socialist principles for well over fifteen months I am very interestedà"". Oswald became 17 on October 18th, and enlisted in the Marines six days later. Cover a bit soiled and with light wear at spine ends, spine bears ink notation ""Staff 1957"", contents fine.
