At Ralph Davison’s first full board meeting on September 11, 1986, he emphasized “furthering the scope of the Day School’s reach into the Greensboro community,” and he announced the establishment of the Alumni Association under the leadership of its first President, Mary Copeland ’79. By 1991, alumni continued to distinguish themselves and play an increasingly important role in school affairs. With support from Jane Gorrell ’79, Bill Morrisette ’75, Newton Cowan ’84, Ed Cone ’80 and others, the Alumni Association developed a multifaceted program of service including the class agent network, senior send-off, graduation rehearsal luncheon, the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Alumni-Booster Golf Tournament, an Alumni-Scholarship fund drive and activities to maintain bonds of friendship.
