Franciszka Hynko-Bérard
Born on 2 April 1933 in La Mure (Isère), in the heart of a mining area. Franciszka's family lived in the La Mure mining area in Isère. Franciszka entered the high school in Villard-de-Lans in 1944, and then the high school in Paris in 1946. She passed her “petit bac” (equivalent of GCSEs or junior high school diploma) in 1948. She returned to La Mure to finish her studies, specializing in commerce. She stayed in La Mure and went on to work for Houillères du Dauphiné (coal mine), then, after marrying Maurice Bérard, for the family business (vehicle appraisal and bodywork). A regular at the annual alumni gatherings, she would remind people that she was the youngest student at the high school. Franciszka died in 2023.
