<p>Mount Hermon, MA—A Northfield Mount Hermon alumna from the class of 1973 has contributed an unrestricted gift of $1 million to her alma mater. The school will use the gift to help support students, faculty, and academic programs. Head of School Thomas K. Sturtevant announced the news during the school’s recent convocation weekend. “An anonymous gift of this magnitude signals how deeply graduates love Northfield Mount Hermon,” said Sturtevant. “Not wishing to draw attention to herself, this alumna was motivated solely by a desire to make a difference through a leadership gift that will allow us to invest in key strategic priorities. Support from alumni sustains and strengthens NMH, and this donor’s gift is just the latest example of graduates wanting to give back to a school they believe gave them so much.”</p>

<p>This is great. NMH is a wonderful school and it is nice to see some recognition</p>

<p>Wonder if the donor was Uma Thurman???</p>

<p>That would make her 3 years old at graduation…so I’m thinking not. :)</p>

<p>Uma Thurman went to NMH? I loved her in Prime with Meryl Streep and the other guy whom I had a celebrity crush on for about a week.</p>

<p>Uma Thurman apparently attended NMH but did not graduate. Another famous alum is Bette Davis who attended in the 20’s.</p>

<p>Oh, and the founder of the Friendly’s chain of restaurants!</p>

Laura Linney
The inventor of volleyball
YaYa Johnson
Elizabeth Perkins
Natalie Cole
The inventor of Burger King (ew)</p>

<p>Class of 1973, so she must be around age 52-54. Not Uma, maybe Natalie Cole?</p>
