The Normalian of 1931 - Yearbook of the State Normal School at Geneseo, NY


First edition. Geneseo, New York: State Normal School, 1931.

​​Hardcover, 187pp., including ads at rear. The 1931 "Normalian" embraces an Egyptian theme, and features bold color plates and great design, utilizing a variety of printing materials and techniques. More sumptuous than any yearbook I've ever seen, and housed in a silver slipcase to boot. Full of terrific and portraits of young women at the tail-end of '20s fashion and short haircuts for serious girls. Humorous (and occasionally humor-less) group photos for bygone clubs and sports do not disappoint. Plus, a cutout of a student named "Ardis Starr," who seems like a character. This copy belonged to Winifred B. Eimers, a sophomore at the school whose name is written on the inside of the slipcase. A few inscriptions throughout, but very neat and in Very Good condition overall. Tremendous fun to look through and really graphically engaging.
