Qrrihrs anh Zilluminaturs EFORE the advent of printing, all books appeared in manuscript form. They were executed by monks in monasteries and lly scholars in their homes. The task of making them, by writing out in book-hand each separate copy, was an arduous one re- quiring years of constant eifort. Caxton, the English printer, related his manuscript-making experience in this fashion: Zin the tnrptping nf the same mp prime is morn, mpn Ijanhs tnerp anh not stezfast, mpn span himmzh with nlizranurije Iukping on the habit paper . . . tberefnrz 3 prartpszh anti Izrneh at mp grate charge anti hispense to nruepne this saih hunk in prpnte after the matter anh farms as pe map here see. Yet for years after the invention of printing, the artistic beauty of the hand-illuminated manuscripts exerted such an influence over printers that it was customary for them to reserve for hand-lettering and illumination all titles and initial letters. The Cloister Black type used throughout the art pages of this edition of the South High 1940 Annual is a modifi- cation of the cloister letter used in manuscripts and early printed book forms, and the illuminated initial letters and borders are reminiscent of the illuminator's art. -'59 Q- ' X-33-L 5 JS' V 3 Qs V 99 6 gtif-fb a 99 Q25 '23 , v.-353 269521 V 963, 9' 'Q Q3 ag 9 923 3, 9 2 4.3 29 13?-,QQ ' 13,2399 i sf? 9 3 9 29 ' '39 '3' YJ Rs JK 35.33 53 Q3-?

ehicatiun ibzrhzrt 1, Shanes great in his goodness, humble in his state, yet firm in his purpose? It is to such a man that we, the graduating classes of 1940, respectfully dedicate this South High Annual. Herbert L. Jones, a member of the original faculty, retires from participation in school affairs. lt is difficult to Visualize South High without the kindly smiling Dean Jones. We experience a sense of keen regret at the thought of his retirement, but realize the just- ness of his decision. He has unselfishly given the best years of his life to South and for this great service we are deeply grateful. -..gf 4
