Yearbooks are important in the year of a student and more important when you are trying to restart memories later in life. For me, they have been invaluable when reconstructing timelines and confirming (or correcting) stories. Here are the covers of the yearbooks from the 1940s. The last decade Shades Cahaba was a high school.

I have been able to find yearbooks at the downtown Linn-Henley research library, at Shades Cahaba and on Ancestry.com. I found out later that the books downtown and the scanned ones on Ancestry.com are one and the same. Only one yearbook is missing, 1925. If you have one or know where one is, I would love to see it.
