Serving as the head adviser of our class for our junior and senior years, Miss Anderson has given her time and energy unstintingly for the good of individual members and of the entire class. Miss Anderson came to Claymont High School in September, 1958, as a teacher of home economics. After sewing successfully as a teacher and cafeteria superviser in the New jersey public schools. Her pleasant smile and willingness to help oth- ers have made her a valuable asset to our school. Not only does she devote herself to her students and to the class of 1965, but Miss Anderson also is engaged in several projects of service and professional orga- nizations. She is a very active member of the Business and Professional Women's Clubg she is also a member of Alpha Delta Kappa, an international honorary teachers' sorority.
