Estelle, Not sure about start date for Columbia HS, but I would try the school itself for old yearbooks. Usually, they try to keep that sort of thing in the high school library or office. Many times, not a complete run. Permanent school records are supposed to be kept by the district/school that the student last attended. In this case, South Orange-Maplewood. If a student quit school, the records would be at the last school attended (middle school/junior hs, etc.) Records that are required may be minimal. AND....... many districts did not keep them. I may venture to say most. I haven't tried to obtain any myself, just know the record requirement.
