mission statement: It is the mission of THE PLEASURE IS BACK to recognize and showcase the artistic talents of Keystone’s high school students. The LitMag club provides a forum for students to practice curation, jurying, editing, and technical production, providing a real art-world experience. This production chimes well with our school’s mission: . . . to provide motivated students with a nationally recognized, well-rounded educational experience in a supportive, inclusive environment that encourages academic excellence, ethical growth, community involvement, and responsible leadership. editorial policy: Keystone’s award-winning literary magazine publishes work that reflects the literary, visual, and artistic points of view of contemporary high school students. Although THE PLEASURE IS BACK does not organize content thematically, the student editors, who are appointed annually by the faculty advisors, select work that represents the zeitgeist of the Keystone upper school community. This organization is an extracurricular group that meets weekly to critique submissions from the upper school student body based on literary and artistic merit as perceived by the staff.
