Therefore, prepare to receive my loving memo- ries of Saint Anne’s Academy on your little pages. As Freshmen, we felt really strange and uncomfortable in our new school and with the Sisters whom we did not know. It didn’t take us long to become acquainted, however and we soon realized that the kind Sl sist Celestine one of our favorite teachers, left during the interested in us and wanted to teach a p . wa sn’t long before we became attached to latter part of February for Brazil.

As Seniors we ven- tured to attack a Year Book, and after the plans were laid we selected the name Annette in honor of the patron of our school, St. Anne. Our efforts seemed hopeless at times, but Mother Marguerite urged us on, and now, with publication jus around the corner, we feel that we have accomplished an un- believable task. Dorethea Greene, as our May Queen and Carolyn Jones, as Miss Annette of 1952, as well as Hazel An- derson who brought honor to our school by her essay on Dem- ocracy, were the outstanding students. So you see, dear Diary, we have had four of the most ex- citing and enjoyable years that any high school graduate could have, but the most exciting was the day that Mother an- nounced the scholarship winners: Joicey White for Sprmgfield College, Springfield, 111., Dorethea Greene for College Miser- icordia, Dallas, Penn., and the most exciting of all, a scholar- ship for Newton College of the Sacred Heart for me.
