_Thomas Pynchon: A Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials_,
collected by Clifford Mead (Dalkey Archive Press, 1989) has an appendix
titled "Pynchon's Juvenilia" that contains his high school newspaper
writings and yearbook photos. My favorite is the National Honor Society
shot. A must see.

Disliking hypocrites,
