This is weird, and it is freaking me out. I have the whole 1931 Woodrow Wilson Yearbook digitally. And besides the ROTC group photo that includes Bookhout, it has an individual photo of him.
But, he looks way too old in that individual photo. This collage includes an image of him from 1933, so 2 years later, which I have compared to the image of Bookhout from the 1931 yearbook. So, we are supposed to believe that the image on the right came 2 years before the image on the left, even though he looks much older and more mature.
It is ridiculous. He has to be much older on the right. So, in the that digital yearbook, they replaced whatever image of Bookhout that was there with this other image that was probably from college. It's him all right, James Bookhout, but certainly not from 1931.
Yearbooks come out in the Spring, and in the Spring of 1931, James Bookhout was 16 years old. How old does he look on the right? I'm thinking maybe 23?
