Below follows several excerpts from school yearbooks, primarily Columbine's 1999 issue yearbook. I've managed to screen-capture some of the pages the Columbine yearbook staff deleted from the 1999 book that contain additional pictures and information about Eric and Dylan. You won't find them in the yearbook that was printed as the pages never made it to press. I pulled them out of the police reports for viewing here.
The Trenchcoat Mafia Yearbook Picture
The Trenchcoat Mafia got blamed in association for what happened at Columbine though investigation has shown that they were not only NOT responsible, their contact with the two shooters was minimal -- via member Chris Morris, who was known to be outspoken in his own hatred of Columbine and was taken into custody the day of the shootings. He was questioned and later released without being charged of anything. Eric and Dylan wore oiled leather dusters frequently to school and they wore them them on 4-20-1999 when they arrived and first began shooting (though they took them off later) but this affectation seems to have been personal taste rather than a sign of affiliation. They don't appear in the school yearbook photo of the Trenchcoat Mafia (shown right).

The following page is taken from the 1999 yearbook
The caption can't be read in the image
but the Columbine Report quoted it:
Ode to the TCM
From hacking and bowling to a downtown day at a certain convention, from players and abstainers to certain teachers that we won't mention, from learning to sack and wearing black to last year's week of OOS suspension, High school is over so go get some coolio's and relieve that built-up tension. Have an awesome summer! Robyn

The scratched-out words above
read "DEVIL MAN"; Eric's personal
nickname for Nate. Nate told police
he thought the name was stupid and
only Eric called him that.
