Contents as taken from both the front cover and the index page inside are:

  • "The Dream of Angelo Zara" by Guido D'Agostino
  • "Even the Dead Shall Rise" by Margaret Rhodes Peattie
  • "The Long Debut of Lois Taggett" by J.D. Salinger This appears to be 23-year-old Salinger's fifth published short story. The contributors section notes Salinger: J.D. Salinger writes, "I'm in the Officers, First Sergeants, and Instructors Prep School of the Signal Corps, determined to get that ole message through. ...The men in my tent--though a damn nice bunch--are always eating oranges or listening to quiz programs, and I haven't written a line since my re-classification and induction." But he is one of many of "our boys" who are doing an important job and we are rooting for all of them. He is a native New Yorker, twenty-three years old, and his first story, "The Young Folks," appeared in the March-April 1940 issue of STORY"
