I want to thank Lee Elkins LeGrand (DHS '71) for letting me scan this copy of Missouri City High School's first yearbook. It was called the Criterion and was issued in 1937. As you'll see, the senior class made their yearbooks. This copy is in very good shape.
I can understand why they took this approach. After a few years of recovery, the Great Depression resumed with a vengeance in 1937. I'm sure self-published annual was much more economical than contracting with a publishing company. Sugar Land High School didn't publish an annual of any kind until 1947.
I will post more excerpts from this yearbook.
