a n n ime, “You’ll be shocked when you get to the school inNaumburg – that’s a whole different kettle of fish.” “Idon’t believe it,” I replied.Because I didn’t go on any trips, I had no contact at allwith the outside world. Although many people visitedus, they either didn’t concern me or they appeared to fitvery well into my little world of Keilhau. They didn’tbring in anything new. Since I wasn’t allowed to readany books other than books for young people until I wasin ninth grade, I didn’t find out anything from that sideeither.Through her studies, however, a wider world began toopen up.My favorite subjects in school were drawing, singing,German, biology, chemistry, and math. In chemistryand biology I learned how things had come to be andabout the underlying interdependence between everything.I thought this was very beautiful. In geographythe same thing intrigued me as in the Indian stories, thatis, I learned about things that until now I had never seenor experienced, things in which my imagination could begiven free reign. I had great delight in daydreaming aboutsuch things.My time in Keilhau came to an end with the exams atthe end of ninth grade. I wanted to continue my studies,and so I left home to attend preparatory school.10
2.Leaving HomeIn fall of 1925, Anni left Keilhau and enrolled in theStädtisches Luisen Oberlyceum, a girls’ academy in thecity of Naumburg. Here she began the three-year courseof studies that would make her eligible to take the Abiturexam, which she needed to pass before entering university.Anni’s long-term plan was to earn a doctorate in educationso that she would be able to take on responsibilitiesat Keilhau. To her family, these studies were an investmentin the future of the Keilhau school. Payment of hertuition and living expenses was only possible through FrauWächter’s careful management of household finances.The academic requirements for Abitur candidates atthe Oberlyceum were substantial, including classes for allthree years in history, natural science, earth science, mathematics,religion, German, French, English, and Latin, aswell as drawing, music, gymnastics, and handwriting.The school was progressive in its methods and emphasizedthe importance of critical thinking. More significantfor fifteen-year-old Anni than her school work, though,11
