SHAKESPEARE CLASS PRESENTS
READING OF "RICHARD II
JOIN THE GAME
Sue Matzncr, Annabel Ray, Barbara Canady, Frances Caudle, Jane Johnson, Sunel
Polk, Shirley Byrd, Carol Deaton, Page Sink, and Jeanne Burrows pose for a
picture just after their reading of “Richard II.” The Shakespeare class presented
a shortened version of the play for the sophomore English classes to help them in
their study of Henry IV, Part 1. The reading was directed by Sue Matzner and
sponsored by Dr. Norma Rose.
MISS GRIMMER
(Continued from page three)
The letters which come in from
alumnae telling about what they are
doing and how much they still ap
preciate Meredith are the enjoy
able ones. Many letters are filled
with pleasant reactions to the
monthly magazine, which is edited
by Dr. Norma Rose. This newsy re
port on the doings of the school
and its alumnae is a large improve
ment over the old alumnae column
in The Twig which served until
1946. Between 1937 and 1945 the
Alumnae Association edited one is
sue annually of the Quarterly Col
lege Bulletin.
Among her other duties. Miss
Grimmer proudly sponsored the
Granddaughter’s Club and prepares
for the returning of alumnae for
Commencement — a busy and ex
citing time. Miss Grimmer grate
fully acknowledges the hard work
of former student assistants and
her last two secretaries, Shirley Mc
Lain Davis, ’55 and Doris Allen
Litchfield, ’54, who is now with
her. She also appreciates all the
excellent alumnae presidents she
has worked with. “The success and
pleasantness of my job depends on

Betsy Lane, editor of the Oak
Leaves, reports that preliminary
work has been completed on that
publication. Work on the dummy
was begun in the summer. Class and
group pictures were scheduled, and
write-ups were gathered during the
fall. Since the pictures were ready
for the engraver by the middle of
December, it is expected that stu
dents will receive their annuals in
April, an earlier date than is cus
tomary. Betsy expresses apprecia-

In case you are one of those
Meredith angels who roam the
campus with no idea of what’s news,
this is something you should read.
Exams will soon be popping out all
over, and many tired brains will be
dragging about Meredith. In the
gym from five to six o’clock evei7
Tuesday and Thursday, there will
be girls enjoying a basketball game
to relieve their tensions and you
can be one of them. There’s much
fun in it for you; you’ll be getting
in shape for the tournament in
February, too. Join Peggy Wil
liams, your basketball manager, for
a game soon. See if things don’t
go better; they will.

Without further ado we’ll end the
fashion review, remembering that
simplicity and that tired look of
learning is the fashion trend of the
Meredith library.

ple,” she says.
Miss Grimmer’s loves, other than
the alumnae, include music, bridge,
and travel. She has travelled far to
the north, south, and east, but only
as far west as Gatlinburg. Travel is
part of her work, and she was get
ting ready to go to Williamsburg
for a regional meeting of the Ameri
can Alumni Council when I talked
to her.
Miss Grimmer states that she has
enjoyed watching Meredith grow,
and I find myself among those who
hope she can watch it as alumnae
secretary for “another twenty-five
years.”

PLANS FOR TOUR
Mrs. MaBelle Smith reports that
she has distributed over fifty folders
describing the European tour to in
terested students. Early in Febru
ary she will begin reporting results
to the company. Since there is a
limited number of reservations
available they are being assigned
in the order in which they are re

decision be sure to let her know.
CONTEMPORARY SCENE
(Continued from page two)
sidered to be the best spokesman
for this generation, if “beat” is the
correct descriptive term. Other writ
ers and their books which might be
pointed out as spokesmen or inter
preters of this generation are: J. D.
Salinger, Catcher in the Rye, the
story of a particular boy in search
of values, of some kind of truth
for himself; Budd Schulbery, On
The Waterfront (a movie). (Both
of these writers were mentioned in
Newsweek.) The movie written by
Schulbery has one message: “Man
is not merely a social animal, a vic
tim, a product. At the bottom, man
is a spirit.” It was perhaps more
the acting of Marlon Brando than
the writing of Schulbery which gave
this message; yet it was clear as the
message, and this Holmes feels is
what the Beat Generation wishes to
say — either in prose, poetry, or
action.
In poetry, the new San Francisco
school speaks for the Beat Genera
tion. Allen Ginsberg, called by Life
the most exciting young poet in
America, is the leading figure in
this school. There is little concern
for meter or grammar; everything
self-conscious and artificial that

separates literature from life must
go, so say the writers of this school.
Ginsberg says of his long disordered
poem “Howl,” “ ‘Howl’ is an ‘Af
firmation’ by individual experience
of God, sex, drugs, absurdity.”
Kerouac seems to be saying the
same thing in On the Road: “No
one can tell us that there is no God.
We’ve passed through all forms . . .
Everything is fine, God exists, we
know time . . . Furthermore we
know America, we’re at home. . . .
We give and take and go in the in
credibly complicated sweetness.”
What the impact the Beat Gene
ration’s expression will have on the
literary world — or even if it will
have any impact — time will tell. It
is of interest to glance but briefly at
the passing scene, realize the cur
rent the tide is taking, and recognize
that the twentieth is producing new
art forms for expression — yet to
be neither criticized or defended.
