FUTURE EXPANSION PROGRAM This year AA.U.S. began another big step for- ward when the Board of Trustees announced its plans for another fund raising campaign, the fourth such project to be undertaken since the school was founded in 1955. Since that time AA.U.S. has grown by leaps and bounds until the value of its present plant is over $1 ,500,000. The goal for the latest fund raising campaign was set at $250,000, and Mr. Thomas H. Hutton, par- ent of two AA.U.S. students and member of the Board of Trustees was named General Chairman of the development fund campaign. The $250,000 will be a substantial part of the amount necessary to begin an extensive expan- sion plan which will be injected into virtually every area of school life. The plan has taken into consideration most of the present and future needs of the school. The money can also be used to pay a portion of our existing debt. Commenting on the expansion plans AAr. Alec W. Wellford, President of the Board of Trustees said, The plans for the long range development of the school are the result of months of prepara- tion and study and campus planning. They are designed to best utilize the ninety-four acres of property available and to leave plenty of room for any future expansion. The athletic department has several immediate needs that will be met by the funds from the campaign. A new cinder track will be a welcome addition to Hull-Dobbs Athletic Field which just acquired permanent seating facilities on the east side. It is hoped that permanent stands will also rise on the west side in the near future. In ad- dition to these badly needed improvements, an- other dressing room will be constructed on the west side of the gymnasium to make a total of three dressing rooms. Other supplements to ath- letic facilities will be a completely new baseball diamond, two more athletic practice fields, and nine tennis courts to replace the four that will have to be destroyed eventually to make room for another building. The 1963-1964 Development Program offers opportunities for names of patrons, friends and relatives to be perpetuated through DESIGNATED GIFTS as well as through MEMORIAL GIFTS. Remember- - pledges may be paid over a period of 3 or more years. ■ • ! V III mWPl-frtin tbiiniiti f iinfti. tr ' - • =i- .---■ HW iff»« M. i,, iSf, ■ i i 1W y r r id

In order to retain the teachers that we have now, and to attract more teachers of this high caliber in the future, the expansion plan includes the construction, on campus, of homes for the faculty. This is just one of the many things that makes AA.U.S. attractive to good teachers. These homes would be erected at the south-east corner of the school property along Ridgeway Road near the Headmaster ' s home which is already located in this area. A number of improvements will be made from which students will greatly benefit. Since there is a great need at the present time for a place where any student can go during his free time to converse or study, a student lounge will be built near the existing book store. A porte-cochere to be constructed in this area will make it pos- sible to enter the building without being exposed to bad weather. To meet the demands of an increasingly larger student body, several new classrooms will be built. The administration believes that there is a need for additional science laboratories. These new laboratories will materialize in the form of a new science and math building to be constructed in the area immediately west of the existing lab- oratories. The experience obtained from the past nine years of operation have led the administration to the conclusion that it would be advisable to separate the seventh and grades from the senior school. Consequently, a lower school will be constructed east of the auditorium. It will have completely separate classrooms and dining area. The school has received many inquiries from out of town students who have expressed an interest in AA.U.S., but were unable to attend be- cause there were no boarding facilities. The ex- pansion program will include a dormitory east of the proposed lower school. This will make it possible for us to accommodate a number of boarding students. AA.U.S. has made immeasurable progress dur- ing the past nine years. This has been principally due to the continued interest and generosity of our friends and patrons. The annual staff wishes to express the appreciation of the entire school to all those who have made previous contribu- tions as well as to those who have contributed to the recent campaign. With such interest AA.U.S. must continue to become a greater insti- tution. t«S- -T r £ r r r r]r
