The Kew-Forest School Development Fund HE architect's sketch, which appears above, gives a picture of a proposed new building unit, plans for which are now under consideration by the Board of Trustees. This contemplated Hre- proof addition to the school plant, according to present specifications, is expected to provide not only a spacious auditorium, but also a library, a new laboratory, a study hall, a number of addi- tional classrooms, locker and toilet facilities, and additional offices. Students and staff members, upon looking at the sketch in the school reception room, always ask the inevitable question: Is this to be the new building? When will it be ready? To these questions the growth of the Kew-Forest School Development Fund can furnish the answer. The Blolter of 1953 pin-pointed the problem in these words: The measure of tomorrow's auditorium, gymnasium, laboratory, study hall, or library de- pends on the progress of the Development Fund today. And the Blolter of 1954 added signifi- cantly: Contributions made now can make the planned building for tomorrow become the ac- complishment of today. The time is appropriate for increasing momentum in building fund efforts. Emphasis on building funds is not new. The Blotler in 1950 gave 31008.00 The Kew-Forest School Association, in its fund raising, set new highs this year through its annual Military Bridge and its sponsorship of the Dramatic Club produc- tions. The Kew-Forest School Development Fund, which was started by the gift of the class of 1951, has been recognized in the gifts of succeeding classes and those of several parents and alumni as a most worthy and appropriate destination for contributions. A concerted effort by the school family and its friends in behalf of the Develop- ment Fund can accelerate action in relation to the proposed new building unit. The Board of Trustees' Committee on Plan- ning and Improvement, headed by Mr. Jerome F. Glasser, for nine years has conducted many valu- able studies which hitherto have resulted in many improvements to the existing school plant, and which have produced the present plans for the new unit. Your contribution will speed the day when the Committee can signal: Mission Ac- complishedf' Contributions to the Kew-Forest School De- velopment Fund are deductible for income tax purposes.
