Polly Nichols Mrs. Polly Nichols has contributed to Ward-Belmont as well as Harpeth Hall School in many different ways. She is a graduate of Ward-Belmont, and she later served as the Director of Alumnae Affairs here at Harpeth Hall. This year Mrs. Nichols took on a new role, that of head of the Development Campaign. This position is indeed vital to the existence of Harpeth Hall because the school cannot survive without financial aid from outside sources. Mrs. Nichols ' job requires actively pursuing donations from public and private contributors who are interested in Harpeth Hall. In seeking these donations Mrs. Nichols often travels throughout the region promoting the benefits and basis of a Harpeth Hall education. Mrs. Nichols ' work in establishing these successful contacts and raising needed funds shows her loyalty and devotion to Harpeth Hall and ensures the continuation of the fine college preparatory education which the school offers. Mrs. Nichols is definitely an asset to Harpeth Hall, and her hard work and support is greatly appreciated. Susie Brown Susie Brown does a variety of jobs for the Harpeth Hall community and is an important figure here. As director of the admissions process, she organizes group tours for girls from the feeder schools in the Nashville area, and she arranges interviews and tours for all prospective students and their parents. She also administers the entrance exam in January and helps select the new students, which keeps her in contact with all the students at one time or another. In her job as Alumnae Director, Mrs. Brown keeps Harpeth Hall alumnqe aware of the school ' s and each other ' s activities. She collects information and news about each class every year and publishes both a newspaper and a magazine. She also works with the development office on fund-raising projects involving the alumnae, such as the Phone-a-thon. Mrs. Brown, a graduate and a former English teacher here at Harpeth Hall, received her B.A. degree from Sweet Briar College and her M.A.T. and M.A. in English from Vanderbilt University.
