(O'CONNOR, Flannery)

The Spectrum 1943

Milledgeville, GA, The Students of Georgia State College for Women, 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. Quarto (9" x 12") in white cloth. Flannery O'Connor's freshman yearbook at the Georgia State College for Women containing her freshman picture, a photo of her in the Newman Club, a photo of her as a member of the literary journal staff, and mention of her in the Allegro Club. This volume belonged to a junior class member and contains a number of signatures but not, alas, O'Connor's. Mild soiling and wear. Overall Very Good Flannery O'Connor was quite busy in her three years at Georgia State College for Women. She would eventually become a member and Editor of The Corinthian, the outlet for creative writing, the campus newspaper, the yearbook staff, the International Relations Club, the Town Girls' Club (for student relations) and, tellingly, the Newman Club, a group for Catholic students (in an overwhelming Protestant South). She was chosen by the student body as one of only twelve seniors (less than 10% of the class) who made exceptional contributions to life at the school, and she was one of only three Bachelor of Arts graduates to receive highest honors.

The Shako. The Magazine of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. Vol. 33, #1

[Charleston, SC], The Citadel, Fall 1964. First Edition. Softcover. Quarto (9" x 12") bound in pictorial wraps. The scarce official organ of the student body at the Citadel, this issue distinguished by the presence of very early writing by Pat Conroy, author of THE GREAT SANTINI, THE PRINCE OF TIDES, and other novels, many of which include his alma mater to various degrees. This issue features the story "A Monologue of Drums," the first piece of fiction (he had previously published poetry) by him to appear in THE SHAKO and possibly the first published anywhere, as he had just turned 19 years old at the time. This appearance predates his first book, THE BOO, by 6 years. Also included is Vol. 34, #2, Spring 1966, which does not contain any writing by Conroy. Very light use. Near Fine .
