Susie Brown Susie Brown, an alumna and previous English teach- er at Harpeth Hall, now serves as Alumnae and Admis- sions Director. With a rearrangement in the adminis- tration and staff this year, this position combines two compatible facets of the Harpeth Hall organization. As Admissions Director, Mrs. Brown interviews appli- cants to all grades, arranges tours for prospective stu- dents, conducts admissions tests, and participates in the selection procedure. Two innovations in the admis- sions process this year include group tours for girls from primary schools and an open house in January for prospective students and their parents. With a Harpeth Hall alumnae body of 23, 000 and an equally formidable alumnae group from Ward-Bel- mont, Mrs. Brown spends a great proportion of her time maintaining contact with these ladies. Through the publication of the HARPETH HALL ALUM- NAE NEWS, Mrs. Brown informs alumnae of Har- peth Hall events and class happenings. Mrs. Brown also directs alumnae gatherings such as the Christmas Alumnae Breakfast, the Spring Alumnae Association Meeting, and individual class reunions. Thus, she asso- ciates with an extensive group of the Harpeth Hall community, assuring strong support from the alumnae and promising quality from students to come. Peggy Herring and Lucile McLean Each year Miss Herring and Mrs. McLean take on the responsibility of administering the finances of Har- peth Hall. However, because of their limited contact with students, many girls under-estimate the vital im- pact these ladies have on the Harpeth Hall community. Mrs. McLean, as business manager, is primarily re- sponsible for managing the school accounts and for assisting treasurers of student organizations. Besides teaching typing to students in the Upper School, Mrs. McLean directs the fall registration and student book sale and is available to students daily throughout the year. As manager of school finances, Miss Herring helps to project and administer the school budget; this task requires shrewd money management throughout the fiscal year as well as foresight for the needs of the coming year. Miss Herring handles all school insurance and benefit plans, financial reports, and audits; more- over, she holds overall responsibility for property man- agement. With such intelligent financial management, Har- peth Hall can be assured of a sound future.
