The cutline and the picture on page 1 give you an idea of what you will find in this 392 page edition of the Houstonian. A Changed Look For a Changing University—sums up the feelings of the 1961 Houstonian staff about the style to use in recording the 1960-61 school year. INTRODUCTION As you thumb through yearbooks, old or new, one thing comes to mind ... “I am looking at a school yearbook.” All yearbooks have those little things that make them common to other yearbooks—page after page of nothing but individual class pictures . . . page after page of group pictures that look like “line-ups” . . . monotonous use of type . . . little or no thought of making it easier for the reader to find a particular person, group or activity . . . most contain no real information, just pictures and words that make the reader recall that, “This did occur.”, but why or where or what brought it about is never mentioned. Organizations: Pages 206-297 Athletics: Pages 298-343

College life: Pages 108-173 Vanity Fair: Pages 174-205 But not your 1961 HOUSTONIAN . . . Your class section is livened by abstract photographs that reflect various phases of life at the University. In the section devoted to organizations the groups arc divided into smaller groups and photographed informally. A minimum of two type styles is used on any one page and as many as five styles and faces on some pages. Counting all of the styles and faces throughout the book, excluding those in the advertising section, the number will reach six. If you want to find someone or something, use one of three indexes ... the General Index on these two pages ... the Student Index in the Advertising and Student Index Section ... or the Organization Index found on the last page of this book. Information—you will find it. Chronological accounts of student activities, the degrees held by various deans, the weight of football lettermen, a special account of the campaign for state support and much, much more. Within the covers of this book you will find the most readable, comprehensive account available of the happenings of the 1960-61 school year as they concerned the University of Houston.
