M. S. Mcllwaine, '21, who was aided by Miss Anne McCallie, Alumni secretary, and Mr. Henry Henegar, '57, Editor, Alumni Journal. Mr. Mcllwaine supervised the work of Miss Anne and Mr. Henegar, but acted mainly as liaison between the school and the Alumni Asso- ciation. Miss Anne solicited participation in the Sustaining Fund, made plans for classes to celebrate their anniversaries dur- ing Homecoming with special interest on 10th, 25th, and 50th anniversaries, sent applications to newbom sons of Alumni and kept class notes for the Tornado and Alumni Journal. The Alumni Journal is published annual- ly to inform alumni of current activities at McCallie and to give alumni personal news about their classmates. During the year the Alumni Associa- tion participated in various activities such as the crowning of the Homecoming Queen by the President, contributing to the Sus- taining Fund and hosting the Alumni Picnic at the McCallie Lake. The Admissions Office was headed by Mr. Jim McCallie, '56, who was helped by Mrs. Frances Smith. Mr. .lim had various jobs, such as sending out corre- spondence material, showing prospective students around school and traveling to elementary schools to talk to principals about prospective students' records. Mrs. Smith did most of the clerical work in the Admissions ofiice. McCallie relied mostly on its reputation for solicitation. Some boys were personally recruited through the recommendation of alumni, but the final decision of acceptance came from a committee of which the headmaster was the head. McCallie was a charter member of The Secondary School Admissions Test Board, which administers the entrance examina- tion at 400 different locations throughout the United States and abroad. After the examination in Chattanooga the annual father-son banquet was held at which the prospective students and their fathers were invited for lunch in Alumni Hall. The prospective boarding students had an op- portunity to see what life at McCallie would be like during the McCallie Day Weekend in late April.
