Honoring those Who Made a Difference
Ann Hasseltine Judson
Judson's name-sake was not only America's first female foreign missionary, she was also a huge proponent of women's education and opened a school for girls in Burma. This was unusual in the early 1800s.
The Conversational Club
Founded in 1895, they met on Friday nights "in [their] parlor" to discuss topics about things that didn't relate to daily life. In 1899, they published the first of what would become the "Conversationalist" yearbook, making Judson one of the first schools to have a continuously published yearbook.
Gwen Bristow, Class of 1924
Gwen was an international best-selling author of fifteen books. After graduating from Judson, she attended the Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia for a year. AAJ was fortunate to acquire several copies of her books at the last online auction.
