n Owgincz This 1954 El Recuerdo cover design, an original by art editor Harold Schimpf, has the distinction of being the only hand silk screened yearbook cover produced in California this year. The present-day silk screen process, otherwise known as the seri- graph, is derived from the ancient silk print process developed by the peoples of the Orient. This process, rediscovered in the contemporary manner, has been approached with a fresh and vigorous attitude. Silk screening has been so successful that leading national museums have ex- hibited prints frequently, thus establishing the silk screen print as one of the fine arts. There are numerous Ways of producing a print-the silk screen stencil method being the one most commonly used. Following is the printing procedure in brief: Silk or organdy is stretched over a frame. Because of its sheerness and finely woven quality, silk permits the ink to flow through evenly, giving a sharp impression. The design to be printed is cut from a specially prepared stencil film. The film is then adhered to the silk with an adhering liquid. No ink goes through the film. Only the exposed silk will permit a design to register on the material placed between the frame. A squeegee or rubber roller is used to force the ink through the silk screen. Any number of prints will not destroy the original design. It was necessary to use two separate stencil films for the light and dark grey areas on this yeuris cover.
