When Mr. Irene was a boy, his Mom taped many of Mr. Irene's childhood mementos in a scrapbook. The scrapbook contains Mr. Irene's first accordian composition, photos of his parakeets, newspapers clippings of Mr. Irene's many science awards, and the autobiographies Mr. Irene wrote for grade-school assignments.
Most of the scrapbook pieces correctly foreshadowed Mr. Irene's adult strengths: music, a love of animals, a knack for biology, and sharp writing skills. One scrapbook item did not:
Suburban Chicago, 1966 or 1967. Mr. Irene found a different vocation.

OMG!!! I never knew something like this existed! I'm mildly creeped out by this revelation.
The booklet is of its era.
The membership in the Future Priests Club came as a perk of signing up as an altar boy at the Catholic parish school. As long as an ID card was included (unlike the CIA one, linked in the post, that I had to make on my own), I was all in. It was a little like AAA grooming future members by supporting the school traffic patrol boys with cool T-shirts.
