No, the yearbook does NOT sound anything at all like THE PREPPY HANDBOOK, which , FYI...was about ELITE BOARDING SCHOOL AND COLLEGES, AND LIFE AFTER SCHOOL. Many parts of it, especially the slang, wedding presents, clothes, and what the inside of homes contain, were spot on and NOT just for the '80s, but also for earlier and later times.

That book also contains blurbs about elite private day school all over this country; not just those on the east coast; unless the schools mentioned, in Texas, California, and Chicago can somehow be considered to all be on the Atlantic coast.

Sorry I think the attitudes in that handbook about promiscuity and drinking are the same as what you see here in this yearbook. And since I lived it in terms of watching “elite” teens behave like this - I see these types all over this yearbook.
