This old covered bridge on the road to Pleasantville was snapped by the eagle-eyed yearbook staff. Wie Hen Mirs Gadoo Last September, a green yearbook staff, we planned a general outline of the 1945 Bear. It Was to be based on the Pennsylvania Dutch. There are many factors which influenced us to choose the Dutch theme. This theme would ma.ke possible the use of color and design, a venture altogether new for the Bear. The theme itself-that of a culture-would be entirely different from any used previously. It Would at the same time be appropriate since Boyertown is situated in the very heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. The book relies mainly on design as a means of carrying out the theme. The cover is stenciled with a panoramic view of the countryside near Boyer- town. The cover liners of the book are printed with the rising sun design often seen on quilts in this section. The title page is patterned after a Penn- sylvania Dutch sampler with the necessary components of the yearbook title page incorporated into the design. The three division sections of the book are decorated with typical pie plate designs. The small designs or motifs that appear on most of the pages are distelfinks, dove, hearts, tulips and hex signs, all representative of the decorations, which were employed on chests, chairs, barns, birth certificates and even tombstones. During the early development of the book we realized that it would not be complete without pictures illustrating points of historical interest which identify this region with the Pennsylvania Dutch. The pictures in this section were taken on two trips-the first in February when snow covered the ground, the second in March when classrooms became too warm for members of the Bear staff. On the first trip, four of us on the staff piled into a car with our Speed Graphic, the camera used in taking nearly all of the pictures for the yearbook. We headed north toward Oley looking for suitable camera material. fC10'l1t'Il'I'IZLUd on page nifzej S n
