Robert Marks reviews Apogee 1967 the student literary magazine at High Point College. With 47 selections from 27 contributors the issue shows good art work such as The Two Pines and The Greek by Frances Garris but the prose is weak and poetry uneven. The editor Kaye Benfield and reading committee chose final material, yet the overall voice lacks strong personal point of view and originality.
