That photo has surfaced, and a few others from her high school days. But no yearbook or photos from what would have been her senior year. She would be 15 or 16 in that photo, not sure when her b/day was. IIRC some other yearbooks were found, or at least one, but what would have been her senior year were all taken from the library, the school didn’t have one, etc.

But SAD’s classmates would have -their- senior year yearbooks.

That’s the one that most people keep, and if someone went to high school with a (in)famous person’s mom, even more reason to keep it.

“...Odd thing about SAD, no high school yearbook of what would have been her senior year was able to be found. ...”

The actual story of Stanley Ann at Mercer Island is this.

Stanley started school with the Mercer Island group while living at Columbia City as a sophomore, having been at Eckstein in Junior High.

Mercer Island High School was opened at that time and the record is inconsistent on the question of whether the Stanley sophomores were at the High School; at the Old Mercer Island School; or elsewhere. The class was at the High School in Stanley's Junior year and she was there with them.

At some point, around what would have been the inception of her Senior Year, she was early admitted in a combined degree program at University of Chicago where she attended in the 59-60 class year and in the 60-61 class year, getting credits which would show up on a true transcript from University of Hawaii from her student period beginning in March of 1963.

She received her Mercer Island High School degree with the class of 60 with her U of Chicago credits but she was living in Chicago and didn't make it for picture sessions with the class. Thus her picture was in fact not in the yearbook.

Having her in Chicago in School from 59 to 61 repudiates the legend that is wrapped around Dreams but in fact, the class at Mercer Island was small, and when they decided on how to use the legend, they were able to control all the copies of the yearbook, so far.

And in fact, in Dreams, Ayers more or less tells you this story, except as to the essential facts that contradict the legend. Among other things, he has her telling Bari that she was an Au Paire when the Odepidus movie comes out which she was.

From 61 to January of 63, Stanley was an Au Paire living in a house in Boston owned by Bari's father's sister with Bari and the older boy who was visited there by his father.

No one should waste their time asking for links and proof. That story is constructed from the limited factual record which is available and is not inconsistent with any provable event or fact. On the other hand, I do not have a complete factual record proving that story and the foregoing is based on a reasonable set of assumptions founded on what limited facts are out there.
