Alumni Day, last fall, fell on the day of the Tonawanda game, and there was a large turn-out of grads for the luncheon and game. ' A great amount of credit is due to this body for its wonderful support of the Foundation Fund Drive. The General Chairman himself came from the Alumni and the Alumni took over one of the two main divisions. Once more the Old grads returned on December 21st to greet the student body and to make merry at the annual Christmas dinner. There is no doubt but that this organization is indispensable to the school and it is to be hoped that it will support Our new Headmaster as well as it did Mr. Davies.

Accordingly, the plan vvas launched under the title The Nichols School Foundation Fund Campaign, with a goal of S350,000-a lot of money. The Chairrnanship of this Campaign was placed in the hands of one long experienced in financial affairs and also ,a great and good friend of the school, Carlton P. Cooke, to whom we have had the pleasure of dedicating this book. The Drive formally commenced on October 25th, with a dinner for all the parents, trustees, faculty and council of the school, held in the Rand Memorial Dining Room. Every other day informal luncheons were held at the Statler, in order to report on the progress made the previous day. S The most useful gift of all was made by Mr. Lars Potter, long friend of the school. Mr. Potter gave fB10,000, specifying that it should be used for the construction of a new athletic field. The field has been in process of construction for the last eight months and should be ready for use next fall. The parents, students, and friends of the school responded generously and the final total reached was S216,577.5O. ll23ll
