[Rarebooks] FS: Flannery O'Connor's freshman yearbook at Georgia State College for Women

[Charles Agvent]

(O'CONNOR, Flannery). THE SPECTRUM 1943. Milledgeville, GA: The Students 
of Georgia State College for Women, 1943. First Edition. 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. (#020509)        $500
