Winners and runners-up in the annual contest conducted by the editors of Story magazine are represented in this fine collection which reflects the creative talents of 17 college students. The stories, without exception, are thoroughly professional attempts varying in theme and style as widely as they do in setting. Particularly effective are Helen Essary Ansell's The Threesome and Jerry Whitfield's The Hitchhiker. Young people with literary aspirations or even passive interests are forthwith directed to this volume.
