Letter From the Editors

Dear Reader,

 

 

Pendulum has been publishing in one form and another since 1886, and has served the Exeter community as an outlet for artistic expression. This year, we aimed to feature a wide range of voices and visions from the community, with an eye towards the often unknown works of upperclassmen. In Pendulum this year, you will find a comedy play featuring an uniquely European sense of humor, a series of linked poems illuminating the intergenerational Jewish experience in America, a portfolio displaying soulful photographic portraits of people in India, and a short story illustrating the pain of having a loved one endure cancer treatment. We hope that within these pages there is something that will speak to all of our readers.

 

 

We are indebted to our kind donors for their continued and generous support.We would like to give a special thank-you to Ms. Erica Plouffe Lazure for judging again our second annual Hemingway Flash Fiction Contest.

 

We would like to thank Mr. William E. Perdomo for his guidance as our new adviser, our hardworking Editorial Board for their efforts this year, and in particular, our tenacious Layout Manager David Gindra for his tireless efforts in perfecting the look and style of this issue.

 

 

And lastly, we are thankful for the support of the artistic community here at Exeter for providing us with a wealth of talent from which to draw.  

 

 

As Editors-in-Chief, we are extremely proud of this magazine, and it was a truly inspiring experience to have led its creation this past year.

 

 

Sincerely,

Brian Gao ’14 & Catherine Zhu ‘15
