Annual Fund Champagne Cup Highest Participation Class of 1957: 87% Class Agents Judith Wilson Myrtie Rawlins Rice Outstanding Alumnae Volunteer: Holly Hill ’56 Holly Hill has been an active and instrumental member of the Alumnae Association Board. In 2003 she served as a panelist on the inaugural HAARTS Program – The Art of Literature. From 2003 to 2005 she was a member of the Board of Visitors. In 2008–2009 she served as the 1950s Decade Chair. She was Vice President-Elect of Communications from 2009–2010, and oversaw the NetPals Program. This year as Vice President of Communications, she chaired the HAARTS Program – The Art of Diplomacy. She helped to select the speakers and truly had a passion for ensuring that the evening’s event would be enjoyed by alumnae, panelists and the Hockaday community. Unfortunately, HAARTS had to be cancelled because of an unprecedented week in which four days of classes were cancelled due to inclement weather. Her dedication and genuine enthusiasm goes without saying. Holly is the consummate Hockaday champion. She participates in her class activities and gatherings, often hosting her fellow 1956 classmates for anniversaries and birthday parties. She revisits campus often, attending student programs, award ceremonies and receptions.
