rf- FOIZQUJGIZD ln August of l948, people of Springfield, and especially the students and faculty of S.lVl.S., were shocked by the death of an old and respected member of the faculty, Mr. W. Y. Foster. During his life time he contributed to the education 'of future teachers in this area, and at the time of his death he was Emeritus Head of the Education Department. During his career as a teacher here he saw wars fought and won, de- pressions faced and conquered, trends in education change and pass, and styles in students come and go, just as these other changes have occurred, so have styles in yearbooks come about. A few minutes with a stack of old yearbooks will bring this fact to your attention. Gone forever are the profusely illustrat- ed page borders, the stiff, starched collars on all of the well-scrubbed young men, the quaint little division pages reminiscent of the art work of the turn of the century. lnstead we have neat, square pictures, short essays interspersed throughout the book, and, perhaps more startling to the conventional reader, division pages in the latest art forms. Perhaps this theme of impressionistic art will be dated in a decade or two, but it will most truly reflect the tastes of this year, l949. So we of the OzarkO staff present our efforts for your examination, with the hope that you will enjoy the results as much as we have in the creation of this, the i949 OzarkO.
