EDITORS COMMENTS
American Student Cheerfulness (Colour Litho) captures a hilarious moment in the life of university freshmen in America. This comical print by Achille Beltrame, dating back to 1939, portrays one of the eccentric experiments that senior students subject their younger counterparts to as part of college hazing traditions. In this particular test, the young students are challenged to eat a plate of spaghetti without using a fork and with their hands behind their backs. Dressed in amusing attire, they gather around tables filled with plates of pasta, ready to take on the challenge. Laughter fills the air as these spirited individuals compete against each other for the title of champion and exemption from future experiments. The image showcases not only the light-heartedness and camaraderie among American students but also highlights their resilience and determination. With faces full of joy and anticipation, they eagerly devour mouthfuls of spaghetti using only their hands. Beltrame's illustration perfectly captures this whimsical scene, bringing it to life with his artistic flair. The vibrant colors add an extra layer of liveliness to this playful moment. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst academic pursuits and challenges faced during college years, there is always room for laughter and fun. It celebrates the unique spirit found within American universities while shedding light on long-standing traditions that have shaped student culture throughout history.
