==Early life and education==
Annie Ruth Baeta was born on 7 October 1918 in Lomé, French Togoland. Her parents were schoolteacher Henrietta Baeta and Presbyterian pastor Robert Domingo Baeta. She was one of eight children, though only Annie and her siblings Christian, Lily, and William lived to adulthood. Her parents wanted her to have an English education and she lived in the coastal town of Keta (then in British Togoland) with her maternal grandmother.
Baeta attended Achimota College and earned her teacher's certificate in 1937. She was headmistress and schoolteacher at the Evangelical Presbyterian Girls School from 1940 to 1946. After the buildings of the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Girls were washed away by the ocean in 1940, the girls were moved to the Evangelical Presbyterian School for Boys. The school was overcrowded, and Baeta knew it would be difficult to find funding for new buildings. She approached the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Choir and transformed it into a drama group that put on the George F. Rool musical ''David the Shepherd Boy''. The performances were successful and the group was invited to perform in major Gold Coast cities and in Togo. Baeta was able to raise funds for a new school for the girls that was built by December 1945.〔
