An unredacted version of Brett Kavanaugh's 1983 Georgetown Preparatory School yearbook has been published online by a nonprofit digital archive - all 193 pages.
The yearbook has been used as prominent piece physical evidence since the start of the initial hearing against the Supreme Court nominee, who has been accused by Christine Ford of sexual assaulting her in the summer of 1982.
Only a select few pages from the high school's yearbook - which is sufficient in sexual and alcohol-related references - was previously revealed to the public.
Page 18, titled, 'Those Funny Guys,' shows a photo from the 100-keg challenge and well as photos of teen boys at school and at a party.
'100 kegs or bust,' the photo caption read. Next to it, another caption that showed the boys said: 'Do these guys beat their wives?' as well as 'Prep parties raise question of legality.'

Director of the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive, Mark Graham, told The Intercept: 'By providing access to the 1983 Georgetown Prep yearbook, the Internet Archive is serving its mission as a library, helping people more fully understand the context of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.'
Last week, during the initial hearing, Senator Patrick Leahy held the yearbook up and asked Kavanaugh: 'Does this yearbook reflect your focus on academics and your respect for women?'
Kavanuagh replied: 'If we want to sit here and talk about how a Supreme Court nomination should be based on a high school yearbook page, I think that’s taking us to a new level of absurdity.'
He had also told Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: 'Have at it, if you want to go through my yearbook... if you are worried about my yearbook, have at it.'
Kavanaugh also apologized to a female fellow student who showed up repeatedly in his and other prep school students' yearbook entries - but denied the mentions were shaming her by suggesting sexual involvement.
Renate Schroeder was named a total of 14 times throughout the yearbook.
During contentious questioning about it, Kavanaugh would not say specifically what he was apologizing for – specifically denying he was apologizing for having made any 'boast' about sexual conquest.
'For one thing, our yearbook was a disaster,' said Brett Kavanaugh, who apologized to classmate Renate Dophin

'For one thing, our yearbook was a disaster,' he said, bringing up the issue during his emotional Senate Judiciary Committee appearance after media reports about the youthful entry that includes references to a female classmate. It also references drinking and partying.
He addressed the yearbook after the New York Times contacted Schroder, who Kavanaugh testified is the girl described in the entry that calls him 'Renate Alumnius.'
'The media … interpreted that it was related to sex,' Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee - but said that wasn't the case.
'As high school students, we sometimes did goofy or stupid things. I doubt we're alone in looking back at high school and cringing at some things. For one thing, our year book was a disaster,' Kavanaugh said.
'I think some editors and students wanted the year book to be some combination of "Animal House", Caddie Shack" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," which were all movies in that time,' Kavanaugh said.
'Many of us went along with the year books at times to the point of absurdity,' he explained.
He said he and a friend 'cringed when we read about it and talked to each other.'
Renate Dolphin, who signed a letter in support of US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, learned there was a running joke 'about hooking up with her' in his high school yearbook; Kavanaugh's personal page in the yearbook is shown here with 'Renate Alumnius'
'One thing in particular we were sad about - one of our good female friends who we would admire and went to dances with, had her name used on the year book page with the term alumnus,' he said.
'But in this circus, the media has determined the team was related to sex. It was not related to sex. She and I never had any sexual interaction at all. So sorry to her for that year book reference.
'This may sound a bit trivial given all that we are here for, but one thing I want to try to make sure of in the future is my friendship with her. She was and is a great person,' Kavanaugh said.
Without identifying her full name, he was speaking of Schroeder, who The New York Times identified earlier this week.

'It was not related to sex,' Kavanaugh said.
'I'm so sorry for her for that yearbook reference,' he choked up again as he added: 'She was and is a great person.'
Later, questioned by Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Kavanaugh said the entry did not relate to sex. '
'I'm sorry how that's been misinterpreted and sorry about that,' he said.
'She's a good person and to have her name dragged through this.'
'I can't begin to comprehend what goes through the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue,' Dolphin said, shown here in an undated, recent photo
He said of Schroder: 'She was a great friend of ours. A bunch of us went to dances with her. She hung out with us as a group.'
He went after Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal when he went back at the issue.
'"Renate alumni" clearly implied some boast of sexual conquest. And that’s the reason that you apologized to her correct?' Blumenthal asked.
'That’s false. Speaking about the yearbook. She said she and I never had any sexual interaction. So your question - your question is false …' he replied.
'Your question is based on a false premise and really does great harm to her. I don’t know why you’re bringing this up, frankly,' he bristled.
He kept going after Blumenthal, saying he was 'doing great harm to her by even – bringing her name up here is really unfortunate.'
Blumenthal responded: 'Well calling someone in an alumnus in that way interpreted by some of your football friends at the time as boasting of sexual con – that’s the reason that I’m bringing it up.'
'You’re implying that,' shot back Kavanaugh.
'Look what you’re bringing up right now about her? Don’t bring her name up. She’s a great person. She’s always been a great person. We never had any sexual interaction. By bringing this up you’re just dragging her through the mud. It’s just unnecessary,' he said.
Kavanaugh was one of 13 graduating seniors who reportedly mentioned Dolphin in some way in the yearbook. One former student, Michael Walsh, wrote a poem in his yearbook that said: 'You need a date / and it's getting late / so don't hesitate / to call Renate.'
According to a person close to Dolphin, she was aware of the poem being recited by her former classmates and requested that they stop saying it.
Dolphin, who attended an all-girls high school near Georgetown Preparatory School, the all-boys high school Kavanaugh attended in North Bethesda, Maryland, only recently learned of multiple 'Renate Alumnius' references in Kavanaugh's senior yearbook.
'I learned about these yearbook pages only a few days ago. I don't know what 'Renate Alumnus' actually means,' Dolphin said in a statement to the New York Times.
'I can't begin to comprehend what goes through the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue. I pray their daughters are never treated this way. I will have no further comment.'
Whitehouse also questioned the nominee about the 'Beach Week Ralph Club' entry.
Whitehouse tried to pin Kavanaugh down on whether he or a high school editor was responsible for the content of the entries.
'I don't know if they changed things or not,' Kavanaugh said. 'Have at it if you want to go through my yearbook,' he said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
