Yes, and the letter's t, e, and s that are very similar to Zodiac's.

AND the letter R's that are remarkably similar to the R's in "The Bates Had To Die" letters, CRAZY !

I have to admit, I find this to be one of the creepier similarities...

The e is identical. Swoops up, thick top corner, light top and the upstroke at the end. A professional needs to look at these new handwriting samples.

The tails come low on yearbook entry, as in Zodiac letters....the closed upper and lower loops on 'f' and the 'b'....also similar. 'd' is excellent as stated before. Tight closed loops, overly long tails especially on Zodiac 'g'....as in yearbook. Yearbook 'y' tail has an unclosed loop, in cursive style however. Zodiac 'y' usually tails straight down, is overly long, as 'y' 'g' in yearbook.

Wow, thanks a lot!!! It is much easier for me to take in the context. This is excellent and what a great find for you Ham. This is a serious collector's item. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I certainly hope that you take good care of this yearbook.

If these guys all knew each other, maybe Ross signed other yearbooks as well. We used to sign them on the last day of school. Apparently Ross was there on the last day of school signing yearbooks and he did have some friends. Just like the photo of him with the drama group, I mean, this really gives us a window into his life at the time. It is fascinating because life did go down hill for him because of mental illness, I suppose. I feel sorry for him.
