Literary Magazine: Counterweight Is Growing
Counterweight Quarterly last year scored a spectacular success which saw the literary
magazine expand from a slim publication of mediocre quality to a 48-page quarterly. The enthusiasm generated by last year's issues has continued this year. Many new writers and artists have joined the staff of Counterweight Quarterly–not only entering freshmen, but also talent which has been hiding in Poly for several years. Undiscovered authors have been asked to send their manuscripts or drawings to Counterweight Quarterly in room 104 or through Poly mail box number 437.
The first issue of Counterweight Quarterly is tentatively scheduled to appear in early November. The deadline for material for the first issue is October 15. The editors hope to present the school with the best issue ever. According to Stephen Fairhurst, editor-in-chief of the publication, "We succeeded beyond our expectations last year. This year we hope to maintain and improve the magazine; we particularly want to increase the amount of art and photography in the issue. Much of this, however, is dependent on the money available; the more generous the Student Council, the better the literary magazine".
The editors feel that the new writers who have joined the Counterweight staff will "more than offset the loss (through graduation) of some of our best and most prolific writers".
