(Jamaica), (Jamaica High School), (1928). The final issue of The Oracle that Bowles would appear in, before graduating from Jamaica High School. Contains (from Jeffrey Miller's bibliography) C41-C43: two poems ("Tailpiece" and "Spire Song") and a credit as editor of the Poet's Corner. In addition, there are multiple references to Bowles throughout: lines describing his academic career; a prophecy for his future (he also chaired the prophecy committee, so perhaps wrote his own prophecy); a class chart that claims Bowles is a day dreamer who thinks he is a poet, would like to be a "futuristic artist," is often seen with a dazed expression, and whose hobby is literature. His class photo appears on page 11. There is a page for autographs that has one signature; the innermost pages have separated from the staples and are laid in. Edge-sunning to covers; very good in stapled wrappers. [#036213] $1,500
