CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.
