Hanover, Indiana, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good. Small octavo. Measuring 4.25" x 6.5". Cream leather over stiff paper boards with "Snaps" stamped in silver on the front board and a AOP decal affixed on the front. Contains 56 black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring 3.5" x 3.5", with captions. Very good album with rubbing, cracks on the joint, and edgwear with fine photographs.
A charming, well-captioned, album capturing Alpha Omicron Pi sorority life at Hanover College in the early years of the Cold War. Created by a member of the fall 1956 pledge class, it shows activities such as pledge meetings, decorating for Christmas, turnabout day, lineups, slumber parties, formals, treasure hunts, and more. The girls are seen in party dresses, costumes, silly hats, and college sweatshirts paired with tongue-in-cheek captions. She writes, "God! It's too early for this!;" "look ma! I'm a pinup;" and "you crazy kids." The final page shows a blonde woman, possibly the compiler, with the caption "Model Pledge."
A nice collection of 1950s sorority photographs. (Inventory #: 416071)
