[LM_NET] Copyright Question - Old Magazines

[Dan Paese <paesed@WI.RR.COM>]

The yearbook advisor in my high school and his group want to replicate a 1940s look 
in their next book.  They're wondering if it's permissible for them to photocopy or 
scan titles, articles, ads, etc. from old 1940s magazines and use them as 
grayscaled backgrounds to their own text and photos.  I've dug and asked on this 
but can't seem to get past the conjecture of:  well, it is being done in an 
educational setting; but it is a book that is sold; but it's not a "for profit" 
sale; etc.  Anyone out there had any experience with this and, even better, can you 
point me to a specific source citing what is and is not allowable with this?
