Signed for and owned by his classmate and bandmate, Castiles member Paul Popkin in 1967. It is lovingly and aes-thetically signed around his portrait, "Paul, Best of luck next year. I hope the Army doesn't get you. Keep the Black Hornet on the road. Try and keep away from work. Good luck with the band. They're a nice bunch of guys, especially your lead guitar, and keep playing that mean tambourine. Bruce." Senior yearbook contains many significant compo-nents of the Bruce legend in the inscription. Includes their quest to sticking to and playing music for a living, talks about cars (The Black Hornet) a future component in many of his most important works, and to the Vietnam War which would take the life of their drummer, Bart Haynes. His reference to the "lead guitar" is of course to Springsteen, himself. This humor and tone portrays Bruce as a happy go lucky high school senior where music was his mission and before the infiltration of the music business attacked this naivete. One of the most important signed yearbooks of any celebrity, as it is inscribed by Bruce Springsteen to a member of his band. EX-MT.
