Additional Details

Dylan's senior portrait is at the top of page 76, near a listing of his club affiliations and post-graduation ambitions: "Robert Zimmerman: to join 'Little Richard'--Latin Club 2; Social Studies Club 4." The senior portrait of his sweetheart, Echo Helstrom, is at the bottom of page 51, where we learn she hoped "to 'star' in modeling," and she also appears in a group portrait of the social studies club at the bottom of page 120.
The inscriptions by Linderman's friends provide a window into Dylan's formative years. On the front free endpaper, "Cookie" wrote: "Remember our little chambermaid who told us all her troubles & then she thought we robbed her keys. She was sure a sweet old lady. I can imagine what she thought when she walked into our room & saw our neighbors there & us with our bathrobes on & a bottle on the dresser. Then there was the night we went for a ride with our friends from Alden. I thought we'd never find the University but we finally made it. Later on that night you went out with Bob & then Deane got me out of bed & we went to have a 'dog meat' hamburger. That hamburger changed my life. . . ."
On page 177, "Arlene" wrote: "Well, I guess this has been a pretty successful year for you. What I mean is getting rid of a certain Larry & getting someone named 'Chuck'. Well, if you ever get to Hibbing, be sure & look me up. Maybe if Bob's gone (to the lake) we can go out & have a good time (with the girls). . . ."
