Picture Romances #474

In "Break for Music," a 1968 issue of Picture Romances, student Jan—passionate about modern music—steps in when David, a scholarship student struggling to meet classical music standards, faces academic dismissal. Determined to help, Jan rallies her peers to enter a beat music contest, hoping the prize will keep David’s education on track. A heartfelt story of friendship and belief, told with the quiet sincerity of its era, features a typeset letterer’s crisp, clean layout.
