Four covers of "Chaos", 1966 -1967

Chaos was a student newspaper first edited by Steve Carroll in 1966.

After Steve left the school, it was taken over by me and a couple of friends, Bob Bloomfield and Phil Porter.

You may notice that the house style changed a bit under our semi-autonomous collective.

Chaos was typed onto wax stencils in the school office and run off on the office's Gestetner duplicator. Graphic content (such as the covers) was drawn onto a stencil with a stylus, a type of inkless metal pen. The layer of wax was thin and fragile, and it was easy to tear. Bob's drawing for his cover, below, would have been a finicky job.
