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 Preparation for Annual Is Completed 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.

Exams will soon be popping out all over, and many tired brains will be dragging about Meredith.

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. the kindly help of many, many peo 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.” FOR AN AFTERNOON WALK ARNOLD’S REXALL DRUGS 3025 HILLSBORO STREET BOSSE JEWELERS features North Carolina's outstanding Costume Jewelry Department 333 Fayetteville Street STEPHENSON’S RECORD DEPARTMENT NEW Hr Fr LP RCA VrCTOR Artur Schnabel Plays Beethoven Piano Sonatas No. 22 & No. 29 STEPHENSON MUSIC COMPANY Cameron Village Come To See Us For: Artist’s Supplies — Theatrical Makeup Crepe Paper and Poster Material MOBLEY’S “Raleigh^s Art Center” 113 S.

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 KRAMER’S "THE HOUSE OF DIAMONDS" ’ ’ Martin & Salisbury Sts. ’ ’ Raleigh, N. C. Dial TE 2-8304 ► 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.
