The Parnassian is due in the
hands of Charlotte College students
on June 5. This spring quarter issue
will be the third edition of the
Writers’ Club magazine of this
year and the second printed issue
of the magazine in CC’s history.
Represented in each edition of
this magazine is the culmination
of the talent existing among the
members of the Writers’ Club. To
quote a member of the club, “Ev
eryone enjoys his part in creating
this magazine and realizes that
this is the foundation upon which
the future Charlotte College stu
dents will build something even
more rewarding.”
There has been evidenced much
progress in the switch from the
mimeographed editions of Owl
Tracts, the former Writers’ Club
publication, to the printed Parnas
sian. This improvement has taken
a large amount of effort, but the
spirit of achievement has been
most evident in this “labor of love.”
The members of the Writers’
Club are members by invitation
only, having been selected on the
basis of ability, interest, and a re
view of his creative writing efforts.
It is hoped that this final edi
tion of this year’s Parnassian will
serve as a glowing tribute to the
efforts of Editor Bob Robertson,
Associate Editor Patty Hill, and
the other members of the Writers’
Club.
