DORETHEA ALAD1NE GREENE Winston-Salem, N. C. Senior “Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.” Dorethea is the typical Senior and a loyal pal. She has a lot to offer and she never hesitates to help anyone with a problem. Her athletic ability is most noticed on the basket- ball court where she can make a goal only for the asking. President of the Senior Class, Business Manager of the ANNETTE, Valedictorian, May Queen, Glee Club, Cheerio Club, Dra- matic Club, French Club, Science Club. Valedictory Dear Diary, We have come to the end of our four happy years here at a wonderful school, and it is time to say farewell . . . the one sad note of graduation. Here we have been given splendid training which will serve as a guide during the coming years when we have to face life and life’s problems. We have been united as a large family, sharing the petty sorrows and joys of each individual, soothing an undeserved reproach here, and rejoicing in a word of praise there ... all united in love and affection, the remembrance of which will not be soon forgotten. We thank the good Sisters whose gentle care and vigilant supervision have prepared us for the years ahead. Their kindness and self-sacrifice have made an indelible impression on our memories. We thank our generous parents for having sent us to Saint Anne’s Academy, and we promise to strive in the future to repay them. We know that we have pleased them by being diligent in our studies, and we are sure that they are proud of us as we emerge as graduates from the Academy. They have given us the best, and we thank them. Classmates, it is now time for us to bid each other goodbye. May the bond of friendship that has sprung up among us never be broken and may we, as graduates, carry with us through life the training and ex- ample that we have received from the Sisters. And now, at our departure, we say farewell, mixed with our fervent thanks for all the sacrifices that have been made for us; and may 1 end this farewell message with the words of Saint Francis: May the Lord bless thee, May the Lord keep thee, May He show to thee His countenance And give thee peace! Dorethea Aladine Greene

Last Will and Testament The front campus in Winter The Grotto in Winter Dear Diary, Within your pages I wish to conceal a copy of the last will and testament of the Senior Class as drawn up by Hazel Mae Anderson: , . Out of a storm-tossed world, we seven Seniors came a few years ago to find the blessed haven and quiet peace of our beloved School, dear Saint Anne’s Academy. Our searching, straining minds were shown the path to happiness from a logical beginning to the one true end ... the end and aim of all true happiness. Now at the end of our four years, we feel that we are better prepared to see, to think, and to live. But as the time draws near for our departure from these hallowed walls, it seems as though we have been here only a few short hours rather than four glorious years of Hi-School days. Our happy-go-lucky days are near an ending, and we must venture out into the world of responsibility, a world where we must struggle for success and happiness without the guiding.hand of our dear teachers. Therefore to show our love and appreciation, we seven Seniors, as a whole, on this, the first day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-two, being sound in mind and conscious of everything that is said and done, hereby make our last will and testament: 1. To the Junior Class we will and bequeath the 1953 Annual with all the work entailed, as well as the many headaches. 2. I, Dorethea Greene, will my many hours of toil that have enabled me to be the Valedictorian ot my Class ’to Laetitia Smith with the hope that she will make use of the example that I have given to her. 3. I, Mimi Johnson, leave my ability to mimic others to Mary Payne, and I also bequeath to the said Mary Payne my title, Salutatorian of the Senior Class. 4. I, Joicey White, will my correct usage of the English language and my love for study to Jeannette Haynes. . 5. I, Delores Anderson, will my sweet disposition to Barbara Clyburn and to the aforesaid Barbara Clyburn I also leave my athletic ability. 6. I, Phyllis Joyner, known better as Phil, leave to Jacquelyn Batchelor my perfect French pronunci- ation and my ability to play ball. 7. I, Carolyn Jones, known as “Miss Annette of 1952, will to Carolyn Nunn my amazing ability to make friends. She will need it when collecting ads, patrons, and boosters for the 1953 ANNETTE. 8. I, Hazel Anderson, leave to Catherine Hughes my ability to compose and deliver an oration, and my great love for Saint Anne’s. 9. We, the Seniors, bequeath to the Juniors, our Senior Classroom with books, pictures, and plants. May you enjoy your Senior year as much as we have. We also leave to the said Juniors our remarkable school spirit in which the reputation of Saint Anne’s has been first, last, and always. Given by us, on this, the first day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-two. Signed: Hazel Mae Anderson
