GtnteflL DtSIGD After four years we awaken suddenly to realize that our idyllic sojourn at school has practically ended, flown by like a bat in the night. Only yesterday we decided upon Design as our all-over pattern for Life; to test our SB’s on tissue visuals, to draw volumes like Maillol, to design the soap wrappers of tomorrow. We steeped our ambition in solutions of poster paint and India ink and drew off a froth of interiors, newspaper lay- outs, booklets, billboards, textiles, and compacts. There were the Tuesdays and Thursdays when we lugged in our kits of para- phernalia; and there were the Wednesdays when we shuttled
back and forth from our excursions into industry and exhausted precious stores of experiences in transit. We divided ourselves into small cliques to share sand- wiches during rest periods. But we were one in our appreciation of a striking design, in our impatience with pretense and ver- bosity, in our determination to succeed. Though we tried to be broad, we found our interests becoming more and more paro- chial, making ready for a place in a world of wild specialization. We were constantly analyzing, attempting to glean the kernel from the chaff; and often argued esthetics only to become more convinced of the truth of our convictions. We strove to build parapets of dissected newspapers, magazines, and sample booklets, and then parched our brains in thinking of bright and stimulating ways of presenting the old ideas In refreshing form; we cultivated a reverence for fine drawing instruments, yet consistently used triangles to pry the thumbtacks from our drawing boards. We were constantly amused by the defensive attitude of the TT’s, the frivolous yet persecuted mien of the Costume Designers, the wide-eyed, wide-mouthed wonder of the DP’s, and the charivari of the modeling students and guests. Now we explain at great length to any one who will hear us the intimate details of a Ben Day tint, or the mechanics of color separation; we measure picas with the ease of inches, and swarm around recent graduates like so many Indian beggars to confront them with the What’s, Where’s, and How Much’s of professional life. —DONALD SPITZER
