READERiS GUIDE TO THE 1934 VOLUNTEER in producing the i934 VOLUNTEER the editors and designers have attempted a new departure in college annual design and construction. The 1934 annual is entirely original and, it is hoped, unique and to a certain extent novel. With the exception of a few broad divisions customary on this campus, the 1934 book follows no predecessor. USimplicity is the soul of art. It is this axiom which the editor, the staff artist, and the consulting artist have followed in planning the artistic theme of the book. Modern simplicity and utilitarianism are the keynotes in the coior scheme, the type style, and the page arrangement. Straight, simple lines are intended to convey easy grace and beauty. With the belief that pictures are in an annual to be seen and recognized, every opportunity has been taken to increase the size of all pictures. Here the artistic theme and utilitarianism have been closely coupled to enable the disre- garding of the customary borders and the bleeding of pictures off the page so that in the i934 VOLUNTEER each picture is 1500A: to 25001; as large as ever before. Feeling that all pictures should be relevant at worst and indicative and symbolic at best the editors have attempted to make the introductory pages sym- bolize the section following. Thus the frequent scene of students toiling up the hill with the misty morning shrouding Ayres in the background is typical of Classes. So too is the scene from the Mid-Winter dances typical of the social life of the campus, and the scene of the football field and the crowded stadium typical of the athletic activities. With originality and symbolism the editors have attempted to link com- pleteness. The calendar has been written to include the entire year. Pictures have been included of the Junior Prom and the Carnicus Parade and the Carnicus Queen. The snapshot section has been doubled in number of pages and trebled in amount of space. Spring sports have been included in 1934. All these things are new in the i934 VOLUNTEER and have been included to make it the record of this year. Naturally there are certain things of which the editors are particularly proud. Among these are the figure of the Volunteer statue and pedestal, the unblemished silver end-sheets, the 1934 watermark on the senior pages, the Miss Tennessee pages, the high character and renown of the beauty judge, the variety of the snapshot section, the impressive picture of the band in action, the All-American page, the gold outlines for every sport receiving a letter, the picture of Dummy, the picture of chapel as the organization of the whole, the lighted pins on the black background of the Greek page, the completeness of the calendar. It has been a glorious year, and we have tried to hold it in memory through pictures and print in the 1934 VOLUNTEER. THE EDITOR CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE , PRINTERS A. E.
