Barbara Clyburn has been at St. Anne’s for three years and she has been quite active in the various clubs. She likes to reminisce, and she is often heard saying, “When we were Freshmen ...” Barbara is look- ing forward to a very happy Senior Year. Jeannette Haynes is a boarder who came to Saint Anne’s two years ago from Ashville. She is quiet, studious, and popular, a good Latin student, and very much interested in working out her own problems. Catherine Hughes entered Saint Anne’s in her Sophomore year and she liked it so well that she in- fluenced her sister to come to us last September. Catherine is a hard worker and if she isn’t on top, it isn’t her fault. Carolyn Nunn came in from Bloom County, Indiana, last September. Her school spirit can’t be beat and St. Anne ’s comes first, last, and always. She is an earnest worker both in her classes and extra-curricular activi- ties. At all times she is the perfect lady. Mary Payne entered St. Anne’s as a Sophomore. Her ability to translate Caesar’s “Gaelic Wars” has won for her the great admiration of her class- mates. However, Mary is also a very good student in geometry and often she uses ways and means of proving a theorem or its converse that cause consternation in the class.

Seniors Dorethea is right at home in the lab. Here she is explain- ing her drawing to Phyllis who isn’t too keen on chemistry, but she seems to be listening attentively to her classmate with a bit of wonder. Senior English can be a bore . . . but not at St. Anne’s. Even the Seniors are ex- posed to Latin. Hazel aspires to major in English. In books, as well as in clothing, she is satis- fied only with the latest and the best. Music hath its charms . . . hence the Seniors take time out for a song. On warm days a shelter is sought, and very often the favo- rite place is the steps leading to the tennis court. Mother and the Seniors have taken refuge under the arch. Carolyn is often found in the chapel.

The French Club at the Academy has been quite active this year. Among those whom they enter- tained may be mentioned Rev. Martin J. Collins, O. F.M., Pastor of Saint Benedict’s Church, Mrs. Marianne Rogers, and Mr. and Mrs. George Hatzes. Madame Rogers is a native of Paris, France, and she seemed to enjoy the efforts and mistakes of the girls who tried very hard to converse with her in her native tongue. Mrs. Hatzes, also a French- woman, enjoyed talking with the girls and she told them that they spoke very well. Sister Venard is in charge of the French Department, and, al- though not Frenchborn, she speaks the language fluently, much to the delight of the students. Sister’s Classes are conducted in French from beginning to end. Besides conversation and read- ing, the classes are taught the various French Folk Songs which they enjoy singing at their regular meetings. The French Club First row: Mimi Johnson, Avis Boozer, Jeannette Haynes, Hazel Anderson, Delorist Dereef, Gloria Carter, and Carolyn Jones.
