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.

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-

The Sophomores Laetitia Smith joined the classes at the Academy this year. She came from New York City, and she is tops in everything, music inclu- ded. Delorist Dereef decided to register at St. Anne’s this year. She and Gloria Carter are bosom pals, and they allow nothing to come be- tween them. Avis Boozer has been at the ' Academy for two years. She likes Latin, but she figures that two years of it ought to be enough for anyone. Barbara Linton is also an old-timer at the Academy. She is quiet but she also en- joys a good time. Jacquelyn Batchelor has spent two years at Saint Anne’s. Because she is am- bitious, she has attended summer school, and she hopes to be a Senior next year. Gloria Carter came to us as a Freshman. She is quiet and demure but very good company when one knows her. Constance Crews is an old timer at Saint Anne’s as she attended the grammar grades here. Lucille Johnson is almost a pioneer at Saint Anne’s Academy. She is a good worker and manages to make the passing grade in spite of difficulties. 25
