The first yearbook, titled Senior Year Book, was published from 1910 to 1915, was beautifully illustrated with woodcut designs, photographs, and line drawings created by the student body. The content of these early volumes replicated other literary and humor publications produced by San Jose Normal School students. From 1916-1965, the yearbook was titled La Torre. The annual moved to a commercial publishing format, with pages about the students, faculty, and administration, and representations of student activities from student organizations to athletics. The Digital Collection: The La Torre Yearbook Collection consists of 60 volumes produced from 1910-1965. The official La Torre yearbook discontinued publication after 1965, though other yearbooks were published in 1973, 1976, 1980, and 1985. These publications provide a diverse representation of print and visual documentation of student life during the 20th century. The Physical Collection: La Torre is part of San Jose State University Student Publications Collection, which consists of student publications dating from 1880 to 2004 (bulk 1960-1990). The print collection consists of student-created guides, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, pamphlets, and yearbooks. Reference copies are also available in the reading room.
