This is an actual transcription of what people wrote in my yearbook. They are in the order of which they were written, complete with an approximation of the actual indentation, grammatical errors and downright mysterious messages. The only parts that are omitted are the addresses and some people who, because words failed them at this crucial juncture, only wrote down their names and addresses.
