Q af nf J fA 0 0 0 The Nichols Verdian has experienced many changes in its Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be. -Browning thirty years of publication. Indeed, it has a history. The first volume was published in 1910, the same year that the Nichols School moved to its present site at Amherst and Colvin Streets. In the beginning, the books were larger than the present form, despite the fact that the Senior Class was considerably smaller, numbering between nine to twelve boys. But the book doted on its athletics, humor, and advertisers, which eventually produced enough material to fill its pages. The shape of the book also was different, being then higher than it was long. This lasted until 1914, when due to the faculty's request, no publication was produced for two years. The editions from 1916 to the present time present an almost complete evolution. The volume was designed more proportionately, and a decided, but much needed, improvement in photography took place. Fraternity pages were designed, giving an imprint of the fraternity's seal, and listing their chapters and members. This, however, was eliminated when the societies ceased to function as a school activity. Stories were printedg color and art work were added until an extremely interesting and beautiful book was finally produced. During the depression, the Verdian, striving to maintain its high quality, followed the more modern trend and consequently became less expensive. The book of 1938 was the last truly elaborate one. In the thirty-nine issue, quality not quantity be- tween the covers became a motto which was adhered to severely. But in this, the yearbook of 1940, we have sought a happy medium and have designed one of the most modern Verdians ever published. It is the sincere hope of the editor and his staff that you will not find quality lacking.
