College Prep for High School Sophomores

This list comes from the 1962 book "How to Prepare for College" by Abraham Lass. High school sophomores were to read these books of fiction, history, drama, biography, poetry, philosophy and science as part of their preparation. The list is 50 years old, so a bit dated, but it's helpful to see what books marked a well-read person when Kennedy was president.
