Since she began working morethan six decades ago, Sally has supported heralma mater faithfully through gifts to the annualfund.“Ferry Hall was a good school; I benefitted fromit,” Sally says. “There’s a place for smallschools, and I hope to help them continue.”• • •A three-year student at Ferry Hall, Sally spenther sophomore and junior years as a day studentand her senior year as a boarder. It waswartime, she recalls, and the girls’ patriotismtranslated into fierce devotion toward theschool and camaraderie among classmates.She remembers banding together with bothboarders and day students to compete at FieldDay—“There was such loyalty toward FerryHall, such great school spirit!”—and feeling asense of fellowship as part of the school’s fieldhockey team.In the classroom, Sally enjoyed her French,English, and history courses especially, andrecalls headmistress Miss Tremain as a “veryinfluential woman,” while senior faculty MissLorenzen and Miss Barbour were “strong, excellentteachers” in the field of foreign language.Sally earned a bachelor’s degree in governmentfrom Smith College. As a senior, she wasone of three students to sign up for an officers’training class with the U.S. Marine Corps andunderwent instruction in Quantico, Va. Oncecommissioned as an officer, Sally served onactive duty for nearly two years at the Pentagonduring the Korean War.“It was a broadening experience,” says Sally,who followed in the footsteps of her father,who served his country during both the firstand second world wars.It was during her time in Washington, D.C.,that Sally decided to move west. Listening toMarine pilots rave about California, Sally decidedto drive cross-country with a friend to“seek [her] fortune” in the Golden State. Aftera brief stint as an executive secretary, Sallylanded a job with the Social Security Administration,where she worked for nearly 40 years,retiring in 1990 as head of field operations inthe San Francisco area.Since her retirement, Sally “keeps up with theworld” by reading two newspapers a day andtaking courses at The Fromm Institute for LifelongLearning, where she studies such topicsas opera and European civilization, and learnsabout women artists in the 20th century.“Ferry Hall was a goodschool; I benefitted fromit. There’s a place forsmall schools, and I hopeto help them continue.”Reflecting on Ferry Hall and the influence ithad on her life, Sally says it’s more of a feelingthan something that can be captured in words.“I was always learning something new all thetime. With chapel service every day, I developeda sense of ethical behavior. And, ofcourse, as a boarder, I learned to be independent,”she says. “I grew up at Ferry Hall.”Sally Anderson ’45 lives in Sausalito, Calif.Her brothers, Stanley Anderson ’47 and JohnMudge ’51, graduated from Lake Forest Academy.n(left) Ferry Hall alumna Sally Anderson ’45(right) Sally Anderson in her Ferry Hall yearbook photoclass notes 21
