For the admissions process, she interviews all prospective students and arranges campus tours for them and their parents. She also organizes group tours for the girls from the feeder schools. In January. Mrs. Brown administers the entrance test and later participates in the selection of new students. Her job as Alumnae Director involves keeping the alumnae aware of the school ' s and each others activities. Compiling the news from each class to publish a magazine and newspaper once a year, Mrs. Brown also works with the development office on matters directly involving alumnae such as the fund- raising Phone-a-thon. In addition to the fall alumnae art exhibit every other year, she organizes reunion weekends for individual classes on an every-five-year basis. A graduate and former English teacher at Harpeth Hall, Mrs. Brown received her B.A. degree from Sweet Briar College and her M.A.T. and M.A. in English from Vanderbilt University. Anita Schmid Mrs. Schmid, who administers the NEDT tests given to the freshmen, also directs the PSAT given to sophomores and juniors as well as the AP exams for juniors and seniors. While some students recognize her as timekeeper for these tests, most also know her as the freshman and sophomore counselor, offering advice to these young and sometimes confused underclassmen. Although the weekend of September 25-27 was rainy, she and Mrs. Fuller, the co-sponsors of the freshman class, enjoyed the opportunity to become better acquainted with the freshmen during their retreat at Cedar Crest Camp. Mrs. Schmid graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.A. degree and from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University, where she received a master ' s degree in human development counseling. Mrs. Schmid now operates the Winterim program, including the work-study program open to juniors and seniors. This year during Winterim, Mrs. Schmid has concentrated on advising the juniors and seniors interested in business, management, and merchandising, as well as individual fields of interest. Mrs. Schmid has also helped organize the leadership conference in cooperation with Mrs. Joan Warterfield, Mrs. Sandra Davis, and Mrs. Ginger Justus.
