Directing Funds: A Full-Time Job Polly Nichols I Peg Herring Mrs. Polly Nichols has contributed to Harpeth Hall as well as Ward-Belmont. A graduate of Ward-Belmont and later the Director of Alumnae Affairs at Harpeth Hall, she became the first permanent Director of Development five years ago. Mrs. Nichol ' s job includes all aspects of fund-raising and public relations to obtain support for the school; her hard work and support are invaluable to Harpeth Hall. A person you may have seen headed for the Coke machine but did not recognize was very likely Miss Herring, Harpeth Hall ' s business manager. Miss Herring ' s job consists of tasks such as setting up the school ' s budget, keeping the school ' s insurance policies in order, and keeping track of personal benefits. Miss Herring says the best part of her job is the people she works with, but she regrets not being able to have much day-to-day contact with the students. As Harpeth Hall ' s accountant, Mrs. Steele deals with the incoming and outgoing funds at Harpeth Hall, including money for tuition and textbooks. Mrs. Steele, a resident of Nashville for seven years, has worked at Harpeth Hall for three years. Previously she has worked in the federal agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Small Business Administration. She says, This is probably the most dedicated group of people I have worked with. People in an academic situation give more of themselves than other people. It ' s nice to work in this atmosphere.
