In the past several years, the participation of Nichols Alumni has not only increased in general terms, but also taken an important new directiong greater emphasis has been placed upon immediate needs of the school and its students. The Annual Giving Campaign has grown astoundingly in recent years and currently provides a significant source of unrestricted funds to Nichols. The expanded scholar- ship program is another example of the alumni of Nichols trying to strengthen the school, and to assist in meeting its educational responsibilities to the community. Accordingly, the Board of Managers will continue to work in the future and to preserve Nichols' position among the finest private secondary schools in the country. , 15

Healy, Jr., James In this era of increasingly rapid change, your Board of Trustees endeavors to work with our Headmaster and Faculty to keep Nichols in its established position of leadership in independent education. Faced with rising costs in a period of economic slowdown, the Board now faces new challenges in operating with a balanced budget while providing the outstanding educational opportunity for which Nichols is known. lt is our hope that with the continued and growing support of parents, alumni, and friends, we can enlarge our modest endowment to provide assistance in defraying the added costs of the increased diversity of the curriculum. Nichols faces all ofthe problems of 1970 living with optimism and enthusiasm and shares the successes and concerns of our students. We are justifiably proud of past accomplishments and are striving to continue to be responsive to new demands of current education and life styles. We are proud of the Class of 1971 and are appreciative of their leadership. As they continue their quest for knowledge, we are confident that their Nichols experience leaves them well prepared for the years ahead. 14
