Let's build another gym. Alumni at Christmas dinner LUM I ASSOCIATIO Nichols School's Alumni Association, now number- ing about 2250 members, has enjoyed increased ac- tivity in recent years. The basic purpose of this group is to develop in the alumni a closer relationship with the school, its administration, faculty, and students. To better acquaint our alumni with the activities and accomplishments of Nichols, we have undertaken a number of programs designed to encourage their inter- est, support, and participation. The alumni calendar includes such events as the Annual Scholarship Ball, Homecoming Day, Family Skating Nights, the recently innovated Hockey Night at Nichols, and the Annual Alumni Outing. Since 1952 we have sponsored the George Nichols Scholarship Program, which not only has permitted ten outstanding young men to attend Nichols, but has done a great deal to carry the Nichols story to other area schools. Undoubtedly our most ambitious and challenging function is the Annual Giving Appeal, a program of considerable importance to the continued maintenance of Nichols School. Each year it becomes more satisfy- ing to note the devoted and generous support of our loyal alumni. Richard 0. Hopkins RICHARD O. HOPKINS Richard O. Hopkins, president Howard T.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES On the Board of Trustees, which is composed of men drawn from this commu- nity, one will find twenty-One men vitally interested in Nichols School. Each year seven members of the board are elected for a three year term, and although there is no set tenure of service, a natural turn-over adds one or two new members a year. The nine standing committees meet regularly to carry out the over-all policies, administration, and future planning of the school. These committees are chaired by a trustee who has special talents or interest in that particular field. At the present time the entire board is endeavoring to formulate a ten year plan for Nichols. This is a study that will require a great deal of time, thought, and research, but should prove most rewarding for the future. Under the very capable guidance of our headmaster, Mr. Boocock, this school has achieved a commenda- ble position in the academic world-one that we must all strive to maintain. - John N. Walsh, Jr. 6
