FOREWURD lN.Vd. Because it wishes to familiarize the readers of its yearbook with an outstanding period of American art, the stafl of the 1959 ENCHIRIDION has chosen for its theme Americana Art, that art peculiar to this country in the middle nineteenth century. The American eagle, leading representative of American tradition, as portrayed on the cover of the yearbook, typifies the style of the Americana period. Likewise, the general store on the front and hack liners of the book, with its emphasis on light and shadow, characterizes the style. Billboards and osters, popular in the advertising of the late nineteenth century, are used on this pa and on the sectionfdivider pages, which illustrate the objects common to the section ich it introduces. The printing displayed throughout the book exemplifies the many elaborate styles of printing used in the Americana era. The numerous spot drawings in the book also reflect the style of the Americana period. Typical of the Americana art also is the wallpaper and picture effect, portrayed on the outstanding seniors' page at the beginning of the senior section. As the twentieth century moves onward at a fast pace, a moment of reflection for an outstanding period in American history seems fittingg for this reason, it is the hope of the staff of the 1959 ENCHIRIDION that each reader, by acquainting himself with the Americana art, will appreciate the tradition and culture of our great nation-America.
