A reception was held Sunday at Saint Jude The Apostle School to honor Sister Francis Maureen.

Sister Superior is the school’s first principal, having served since the 1962-1963 school term.

She is being transferred by her superiors at the end of this school term.

During the summer months Sister will teach at D’Youville College in Buffalo, and will be reassigned next fall term.

Sister Francis Maureen may be remembered by many as Sally White, a native Atlantan.

Sally graduated from Christ the King High School in Atlanta and entered the Gray Nuns of the Sacred Heart.

Sister Superior holds a B.A. degree in English from D’Youville College in Buffalo, received a M. Ed. in administration from the University of Georgia, has attended Saint Joseph’s Teacher’s College in Buffalo, New York and has attended Emory University to study French. She is also a member of Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary educational society.

Sister has 20 years of teaching to her credit. In honoring her latest achievement, The Women’s Club of Saint Jude, hostesses for the reception, arranged for a member of the first graduation class of Saint Jude, Miss Becky Setili, a freshman at Saint Joseph’s Infirmary School of Nursing, and a member of this year’s first grade, Chris Fox, to present to Sister a framed copy of the school Alma Mater.

It was felt an appropriate gift not only because her students sang this as a final farewell, but because too, Sister’s brother Dr. Frank M. White composed the theme.

Sister’s parents, Mr. & Mrs. Frank White now reside in Marietta, her brother Dr. Frank M. White was formerly a professor at Georgia Tech, and is presently a professor at the University of Rhode Island. Another brother Dr. William T. White is a pediatrician in Decatur, and her sister Dotty, Mrs. W.A. Sherrer is Dr. Sherrer, M.D. in Marietta, Georgia.
