Yearbooks Available Online

Yearbooks from Western Carolina University are now available online.  The earliest—titled Oogoocoo, thought to be a Cherokee word—were published in 1918 and 1919.  The more familiar Catamount was published from 1933 up into the 21st century.   College yearbooks contain photographs of the historic campus, portraits of faculty and students, and pictures of student life and athletics.  There are 73 yearbooks in this collection, each with multiple pages and pictures.
