1951 Rice School Yearbook Tyler TX The Ranger Vintage Annual

Original 1951 edition of The Ranger, the school yearbook for Rice School located in Tyler, Texas (Smith County). This vintage annual documents the faculty, student body, individual class photographs, student organizations, and local business advertisements from the early 1950s East Texas community. It serves as an excellent resource for regional history, genealogical research, and mid-century Americana. Complete as shown in the images.   Rarity Evaluation: Moderately rare. Because Rice School was a smaller rural/suburban district in Smith County that was later fully consolidated into the Tyler Independent School District in 1956, surviving print runs of these mid-century annuals are quite small compared to larger city high schools.  Notable Alumni: No widely recognized national notable alumni identified for this specific year. Its primary value rests in its scarcity, regional historical value, and genealogical data for families residing in the Tyler/Smith County area in 1951.  ********************************************** USPS DMM 173.4.1.a refers specifically to the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) section outlining the strict baseline qualifications for Books to be eligible for Media Mail shipping rates.
