Torch Collage Magazine debuted in the winter of 1977 to be a "collective insight for students, by students, and about students". Articles were not about Fullerton College life but about general interest items of entertainment, recreation, sports, environment, and photography from the Magazine staff's perspective. Thus it was not to be a replacement for the annual Torch, which was designed to be a "yearbook" of the College.

The Torch began publication as the annual yearbook for Fullerton Junior College students. This more traditional format began to change in the late 1950s. Instead of one yearbook, the editorial staff issued the yearbook in semester installments that began to have the look and feel of a magazine as opposed to a yearbook, although the content followed the more traditional yearbook standard, with pictures of students and teachers, and an account of classes and activities. The spring 1967 issue radically changed the format from a magazine style yearbook to a straight magazine with articles and essays. Occasionally the old yearbook format resurfaced, but by 1970, the magazine format became permanent. Once in magazine format the numbering system varied widely as a new staff person edited each semester's work. There are some missing volumes, especially from the 1990s-2000s.--Jennifer Otte.
