NOSTALGIA 72 The BUFFALO Covered Bringing the buffalo bool-t to the BUFFALO By Wayne Trimble Though anyone with a basic knowledge in biology might disagree, the process of evolu- tion has taken place over the past forty years in a species called the BUFFALO. This par- ticular species has survived for four decades, providing yearly coverage of the events of a school in Northeast Tarrant County once called Birdville. Originally called the BUF- FALO RECORD from 1941-43, it has evolved from a soft-back book of fifty pages or so, to a hard-back, 9x12 inch, 288 page yearbook called the BUFFALO. Since those early days of the BUFFALO, many changes have occurred. During the i -'S+ Buffalo calves are rather easy-going and friendly. early and mid-forties, the cover designs were kept very conservative, not because they lacked creativity, but because money was scarce during that time period, due to the second World War. The same dyes were used several times to save money. After the war years, the economy returned to normal, and the BUFFALO was allowed to expand, The first cover to take a turn from the traditional image of the buffalo was the 1948 edition. Then came the 50's, and the BUFFALO began reflecting the prosperous, peaceful life of that time. They bore crests, bold lines, and flowing ribbons. However, the 1956 cover was a radical twist from the ordinary, It utilized the theater-type mode. The 1958 cover, too, was different, but it does so well in reflecting the mood and feel of the fifties. The BUFFALO of the sixties became even more radical, with flaring lines, irregular shapes - and less of the buffalo image. 1962, '65, and '66 were the only exceptions. The cover was also beginning to evolve away from the puffy-textured backs, into hard and simple textures. The seventies brought new shapes and colors. The 1975 BUFFALO was brown, the '74 BUFFALO, green, the '75, red, green, and yellow, the '76, silver, and the '79, red, gray, and white. Then the 1980 BUFFALO debuted in nearly every color imaginable. From 1966 to 1976, it is interesting to note that there wasnt a buffalo image on the cover. And there hasnt been one since - until now. This being only the second one in fifteen years, the 1981 yearbook brings the buffalo back to the BUFFALO. A -e--M+4u6v-.' .. .---..Q--wr -N 'T' M, ...J -..Y f.. Q, I K 169.
