Our Boarders Princess, Joanna, Elizabeth and Carmen arrive back at school after two weeks of Christmas holidays. Examinations are around the corner so they are ready for their books, The boarders help to keep the grounds beautiful. Brooms, rakes, and baskets are the im- plements needed to gather the 4 1 leaves on the west lawn. It’s a 4 lark when they are allowed to j put on their jeans. After school the boarders en- joy a game of Badminton on the east lawn. Others may be found on the basketball court, or play- ing softball or tennis, and the younger ones may even be found on the swings. Imagine that!

Class History The swings are always busy during the lunch period and after school. Dear Diary, After having spent four unforgettable years at Saint Anne s Academy, 1 wish to confide to the other classes the many enjoyable and interesting affairs that have taken place. Thts is the first time I have written in you, but 1 am sure that you will find most of our happenings and events enjoyable and interesting. 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. Your secret pal, Mimi Johnson

Television is a favorite witn tne Boarders. Sister Joanne Elizabeth, their Prefectress, has everything ready at seven thirty every evening and there are no tardy members from study hour. 0 The girls’ recreation room is often the scene of a card game in the afternoon. This picture was taken before Easter, and Carolyn and Princess are much interested in the styles in “Seventeen.” Healthy girls have healthy appetites, and even those who never ate break- fast at home find the time drag between Mass and the breakfast bell. ft TV m , , ; 4 |P. ,1 St; „• L . 1 VI: , •flr 7 f hi ‘ jA .• « urt !
