Remembering "The Autograph Book" ~ School Days of Yesterday

What ever happened to the ever popular

AUTOGRAPH BOOK?

I remember as a teen clamouring to get all the

"popular people" to sign my book.

I still have my old Autograph Book with those precious

signiatures and sayings..

Like my favorite..

"By Hook or By Crook ..

I will be the last

to Write in your Book!"

wanting to make sure I beat anyone

else out for the last page..

I even have my Mothers Autograph Book with a

dear insert from my Grandmother

wishing her a Happy Birthday..

Both are gone now..

and I have these precious memories...

"I dip my pen into the ink And grasp your album tight,

But to save my life I can’t think one single word to write

But if writing in album would prove a friend secure

I’ll with pleasure write my name in yours."

I can't think of a better gift to give..

AN AUTOGRAPH BOOK!!
