MOST MEMORABLE POLY MOMENT
The 1971 production of “Guys and Dolls,” with David Winder as Stage Director and Joe Huffman as Music Director. My chance to play the bass drum in the Salvation Army Band! We worked hard under great direction and learned to show up on time and on key. I still sing every song every chance I get. My favorite is “I Got the Horse Right Here!”
WITHOUT POLY I’D BE
Without many of my best friends, without the lessons of great teachers.
WHY I JOINED THE JOSEPH DANA ALLEN SOCIETY (those in the Poly community who commit to making a planned gift to Poly)
It is vital that Poly remain accessible to as many students as possible regardless of their financial means. Support of the Poly endowment through deferred giving allows the School to accomplish this goal, and to keep tuition lower for all students.
MESSAGE TO WOULD-BE PLANNED GIVERS
It’s easy. Just tell your lawyer to include a bequest to Poly in your will. You will be “paying forward” to future generations the gift you received years ago.
