The Challenge of 256 Names

Enjoy the video.

Following in the tradition of Paul Herman, Lower School Head Fred Chandler challenged himself to learn the name of all 256 Lower Schoolers during the first month of school. Yesterday morning, he put himself to the test—with a pocket of one dollar coins to award any boy whose name he failed to remember. The boys turned out in full force, with the entire Lower School in attendance. Undaunted, Mr. Chandler went home with his pockets still full of coins, and each boy greeted–and named—correctly.
