In the back of LCHS's copy of the Lord Loudoun 1959 yearbook, I found a little paperback booklet. It was called "Little Lord Loudoun."

Little Lord Loudoun can fit snugly inside of your yearbook

What is a Little Lord Loudoun? It looked like a supplemental/extra yearbook. Hardcover yearbooks have to be fully published by the end of the year. In doing so, they miss big spring events, such as prom, spring sports, and graduation. Little Lord Loudoun, a thin paperback, seemed like their solution to continue the coverage for that entire year.

Graduation in the Auditorium
Little Lord Loudoun 1959 |
I have always disliked seeing the previous year's prom or graduation in the next year's yearbook. The people in the pictures are gone and it becomes wasted yearbook space for the current classes.
Unfortunately, times have moved on, and the Little Lord Loudoun has become an old-time quirk. If you own or have seen a Little Lord Loudoun, I would love to find more of them.
