St Annes Academy - Annette Yearbook (Winston Salem, NC)

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. Second row: Barbara Linton, Mary Payne, Barbara Clyburn, Catherine Hughes, Constance Hughes, Lois Anderson, and Lucille Johnson. Third row: Dorethea Greene, Jacqueline Batchelor, Joicey White, Laetitia Smith, Carolyn Nunn, and Phyllis Joyner. mr-

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.

The Mathematics Club First row: Princess Simmons, Barbara Murrell, Sandra Smith, Carmen Swain, Avis Boozer, Jeannette Haynes, Delorist Dereef, Gloria Carter, Wanetta harris. Second row: Mary Payne, Lilly Belle Williams, Barbara Clyburn, Constance Crews, Joanna Tolbert, Lu- cille Johnson, Barbara Joyner, Laetitia Smith. Third row: Jacqueline Batchelor, Carolyn Nunn, Margaret Stevenson, Elizabeth Coatney, Joyce Roddy. At Saint Anne’s Academy the students are offered three years of Mathematics, consisting of Elem- entary Algebra and Plane Geometry, which are musts, as well as Intermediate Algebra which is an elective. The members of these classes form the Math Club which proves to be more of a social gathering than a club interested in Math- ematics. Judging by the smiling faces, it is hard to believe that these are the same girls who frown at a simple equation in Algebra, or who seem to be on the verge of a breakdown because Geometry, with its axioms, theorems, and pos- . tulates, is so difficult.
