It’s All About
Outcomes
Message
from the President
Today’s higher education consumers demand that the outcomes achieved
by attending college surpass the amassing of academic knowledge. In a
study conducted by the Lawlor Group and published by the Council of
Independent Colleges in 2012, only 39 percent of first-year students in 2010
thought that the purpose of attending college should be personal or intellectual growth. For so many of today’s students and their parents, it’s all
about measurable outcomes ... a.k.a. graduate/professional school or a
job immediately following graduation.
At Huntingdon, we believe that the knowledge vs. jobs debate obscures
the true nature of the undergraduate college experience and its benefits.
What else could we believe if we truly live into the College’s motto: “Enter
to grow in wisdom; go forth to apply wisdom in service”? A Huntingdon
education leads both to immeasurable growth in wisdom and to the measurable result of graduate/professional school or employment upon graduation. More than 80 percent of 2012 Huntingdon graduates have found
professional employment or admission to graduate or professional school.
Contrast that figure with the national figure of approximately 50 percent.
That said, the cornerstone of a Huntingdon education is still a broad liberal
arts core curriculum that allows students to dip their toes into a variety of
rivers of knowledge. Almost 100 of our students are taking advantage of an
intensive version of that liberal arts curriculum through the College Honors
Program, which is featured on page 12. The College’s commitment to the
liberal arts takes a major step forward next academic year with the return
of the theater program. As part of the Huntingdon Tomorrow Campaign,
long-time Montgomery resident and College friend Leo Drum Jr. made a
gift of $1 million in 2011 to renovate and rename the theater space in the
Cloverdale Administrative Building’s auditorium. I invite you to read more
about this exciting project on page 8. And you can read about our 2012
graduates—and what they are doing with “life after Huntingdon”—in a
story that begins on page 4, as well as in ClassNotes.
Certainly, alumni have found that the wisdom gained during the Huntingdon years has informed not only their professional lives, but also their personal, spiritual, and intellectual lives. You’ve had those “aha!” moments
when you recalled a bit of wisdom sprinkled on a budding class of students
by a sage professor. You’ve remembered the lives who touched yours, and
the ones you touched in turn, as a result of your heightened attention to
the power of human giving through service. For these reasons, although we
focus in this edition of the magazine on the outcomes of employment and
graduate or professional school placement, the immeasurable outcome of
building better lives is always our ultimate goal.
Hawk ’em!

It’s All About
Outcomes
Good jobs and good
graduate schools were
waiting for members of
the Class of 2012.
The 141 traditional day members of the
Class of 2012 graduated into a career climate that was anything but encouraging.
Nationally, news anchors dropped the depressing news that only half of new graduates had hope of finding employment.
Graduate program applications were up,
but enrollments were down across the
United States, with speculators attributing
the trends to larger amounts of amassed
undergraduate loan debt beckoning to be
repaid.
Fear not. There are dozens of success stories among the trend-shattering Huntingdon Class of 2012. A review of graduates’
progress shows that 116 (83 percent) have
already found their next paths on their professional journeys, including 32 in graduate
or professional higher learning programs;
4 continuing in or entering the military; 79
employed; and at least 1 in mission service. Graduates credit personal attention
from faculty, critical thinking skills built in
Huntingdon classrooms, and leadership

and involvement outside the classroom
with building in them skills for success.
In a study conducted by the Lawlor Group
and published by the Council of Independent Colleges in 2012, more than 84 percent of first-year college students in 2010
said they chose to go to college because
they believed college would help them
“get a better job” after graduation, and
53.3 percent chose specific colleges with
employment outcomes in mind. Clearly,
with the combination of a challenging
economy, high college costs, and the pressure for graduate success, it’s all about
outcomes these days. To quote the study,
“The ‘new normal’ of the economic climate
has brought about the rise of the prudent
consumer who is frugal, cautious, and seeks
proof of value. With the national unemployment rate hovering at its highest level in
recent memory, students desire assurances
that they’ll be able to graduate in a timely
manner, that they’ll gain the career skills
they need, and that well-paying jobs await
them upon graduation.”
Nearly 90 percent of 2012 Huntingdon
graduates with liberal arts majors in history or English are working or studying in
higher learning programs. English graduates include Allyn Powell, a student at the
University of Alabama School of Law; Erin
Ofe, a student in the graduate program
in speech-language pathology at Auburn
University; Will Francis, hired as a youth minister at Marianna First UMC (Fla.); Savannah Barber, employed with Child Evangelism Fellowship; Kati Bryant, employed with
human resources at Hyundai; and Kristin
Perdue Kelly, a teacher at Prattville High
School. Among the 13 graduates with majors in history, five are teaching: Bryant Hall
at Prattville High School; Rusty Cowley at
Thompson High School; Mike Kilpatrick at
Russell County High School; Ashton Rodriguez with Phenix City Intermediate School;
and Matt Murphree with Blount County
Schools. Many of these new teachers—
most of whom were student-athletes—are
also coaching at least one sport. Outcomes
for others include an Americorps Vista Volunteer in Morristown, Tenn. (Chelsea Hepburn); a deputy sheriff in Cobb County, Ga.
(Dylan Pugh); an audit specialist at ServPro
Industries (Derek Williams); and a baseball
coach (John Rice—who indicated he plans
to attend graduate school to earn teacher
certification).
Chimedlkham Zorigtbaatar, business with
an endorsement in economics and finance, received the Wall Street Journal
Award, presented by Dr. Cinzia Balit Moussalli, professor of finance and economics,
last spring. Zorigtbaatar, from Mongolia, is a
graduate student at American University in
Washington, D.C.
Almost all of the Huntingdon teacher education graduates found classrooms of
students waiting for them. In addition to
those mentioned above, all six who graduated with elementary education majors are
teaching this fall: Ashley Adams, Samantha
Davis Hill, Trish Brown, Rae Diggs, Stevie Barton Hunter, and Kris McLendon. “We make
sure students have great experiences in the
schools [during student teaching internships]
so that they are prepared for anything and
everything,” says Dr. Celia Smith Rudolph
’80, chair of the Department of Teacher Education. Rudolph took the helm of the program two years ago and has built a strong
and committed faculty team, including a
finalist for Alabama Teacher of the Year in
2012 who joined Huntingdon’s faculty this
fall, Dr. Joy Harbin. “We believe teaching
is a calling. Teachers change lives, and we
want our students to have that passion and
drive to change a child’s life.” Huntingdon

résumé development and interviewing skills

to be sure they are well-prepared for the
competition they will face. Because of the
faculty’s commitment to success and their
own teaching excellence, the program is
growing. According to Rudolph, there are
approximately 125 prospective teachers in
Huntingdon’s elementary, secondary, and
P–12 teacher education programs.
Partnerships with churches, seminaries, and
graduate schools contributed to impressive and immediate success for nearly all
Department of Religion graduates. Department chair Dr. Frank Buckner says, “We
have always had a good record of putting
people into divinity schools, but since President West came we are much more forthright and open about our United Methodist
connection.” That connection has led to
placements not only into United Methodist
seminaries, but also into other respected

Athletes.
graduate and divinity school programs,
including Duke, Emory, Asbury, Union, and
Yale in recent years. This year, four religion
graduates entered graduate or seminary
study: Colby Leonard, Allison Vuyovich, Megan Petenbrink, and Kaitlin Rozof; and Luv
Bartlett, who majored in Christian education, works for St. James UMC in Montgomery. Buckner anticipates that enrollment in
the religion major and in the department’s
Christian education and youth ministry
majors will continue to grow because the
programs meet needs among churches.
Partnerships with other Huntingdon departments also provide fertile ground from
which employable graduates may sprout—
such as the music ministry concentration
within the music major. In January, Huntingdon will host “A Conversation on Ministerial Development” to discuss with pastors
in the Alabama-West Florida Conference
how to identify and encourage high school
students who are interested in ministerial
careers.
A perennial powerhouse for placement,
100 percent of the Department of Chemistry’s graduates have been accepted to
graduate or professional schools or to employment, with the highest number of pharmacy school placements ever recorded.

Parker Roberts, in management with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Chimee Zorigtbaatar, who
earned an endorsement in economics and
finance, is a graduate student at American
University in Washington, D.C.
Ginger Tyson concurs, saying, “Everything I
took away from Huntingdon (the hard work
it takes to be successful and also how to
deal with failure) has played a key role in
my personal growth at Ole Miss. HC professors keep giving even after you graduate.
I know I can call my chemistry professors
when things get a little too much to cope
with and they will still give me great advice.”
Mary Terrell says chemistry faculty made
all the difference in her career quest. “The
Huntingdon College Chemistry Department
began supporting me and my dream of
becoming a pharmacist before I even began my freshman year. Having the support
and guidance of my professors throughout
my entire college career helped me stay
motivated and focused on my goals. The
interest and concern I was shown as an individual student gave me the confidence I
needed to persevere in my rigorous courses
and make it to exactly where I wanted to
be—Auburn University’s Harrison School of
Pharmacy.”
The Department of Business, which offers
majors in accounting and in business administration and an endorsement in economics and finance, graduated 27 students
collectively, with at least 85 percent already
finding graduate success. Employment for
accounting majors includes Patty Clements,

grade and coaches volleyball for McInnis Woods Country Day School, Ga.; Angie Smith,
communication studies, works for Regions Bank, Fla.; and Abby Carter, psychology, is serving
with the Hinton Rural Life Center, N.C.
The Department of Sport Science and Physical Education has already placed at least
23 of their 27 graduates into employment
or graduate study in their chosen fields. Jeff
Jenkins took on the role of head coach
for Troy University’s NCAA-Division I cross
country team, subsequently becoming one
of the youngest Division I coaches in the
country. He is working toward his graduate
degree simultaneously and says, “Huntingdon has given me a quality undergraduate
education that makes my master’s degree
much less challenging. I will always miss my
Huntingdon home.”
Graduates with majors in the Departments
of Biology, Communication Studies, Mathematics, Music, Political Science, and Psychology also beat the national norms and
found success—however that term is defined. “I don’t define success in a narrow
way,” says professor of biology and department chair Dr. Paul Gier. “I just want graduates to be happy. [Success is] those who
use their degrees and are satisfied.”

Samantha Davis Hill, elementary education, teaches first

Beyond the classroom, character and responsibility are built
through involvement and leadership in clubs and organizations, greek life, athletic teams,
and other small groups. Involvement also provides strong fodder for résumé-building. “Being a part of Phi Mu [women’s
fraternity] and the Huntingdon
Marching Scarlet and Grey and
ensembles helped me grow as
a leader as well as academically, socially, physically, and
spiritually,” says Kris McLendon. “I truly loved every minute
at Huntingdon College and I
could not imagine not being
a HAWK!” The skills formed in
these leadership experiences
encourage independence, initiative, self-control, teamwork,
and other character attributes
that contribute to employment
and graduate school success.
“Involvement in campus activities, such as serving as a Resident Assistant and a Huntingdon Ambassador, taught me
about leadership, working with
others, and persevering through
stress. Challenging course work
through the English department
taught me time management
and the importance of knowledge, critical thinking, literacy,
and writing. Coming to graduate school was a shock, since I
left the comfort of my beloved
English department and was
thrown into a completely new
environment and new subject
in speech-language pathology, but my undergraduate
experiences prepared me well
to be where I am now. I know
that I am capable of succeeding—Huntingdon made sure I
knew that before I left—and it’s
reassuring to know that my HC
professors and others on campus are still supporting me. I’ve
received e-mails from professors sending me encouraging

words, and I couldn’t be more
thankful for their support.”
“Huntingdon prepared me for
law school in many ways,” says
Allyn Powell. “Most importantly,
Huntingdon gave me the opportunity to get involved in a
wide variety of organizations
and take on leadership roles,
which in turn helped me create a well-rounded résumé
that was not only significant to
the application process but will
also be of great importance
as I begin to seek summer employment. I also appreciate
the experiences I gained in the
classroom; class discussion and
critical thinking are such an important part of law school, and
Huntingdon helped me set the
groundwork for both.”

Drumroll, please...
The curtains are about
to part in a “cool”
new theater on the
Huntingdon campus.
Across from Huntingdon’s main campus
a long-awaited project proceeds almost
without notice. In fact, the construction of
what will be the Leo J. Drum Jr. Theater in
the space that used to be the Cloverdale
Auditorium metaphorically parallels the
process of funding the concept in the first
place.
A dream of many who know Huntingdon’s
long history with community and college
theater productions, the theater project
was included in the wish list-filled Huntingdon Tomorrow Campaign launched by the
Board of Trustees in 2011. Theater, as a program and a major at Huntingdon, was discontinued in 2005 because the Dungeon
Theater in the basement of Massey Hall
came down with the building and no other
space on campus could be adapted to suit
medium-sized audiences and lively college
productions without a considerable influx of
funds.
Enter Leo J. Drum Jr., a ninety-something
neighbor and a steady, significant supporter during many years of friendship with
the College. Drum graduated from Georgia
Institute of Technology as an expert in air
conditioning and heating at a time when
there were only four air conditioned buildings in the sultry-hot city of Montgomery. He
moved to town in order to create Capital
Refrigeration, and thereby began a legacy
of cooling down the city one building at a
time. In fact, it was Drum who brought air
conditioning to Flowers Hall and to many
of the other buildings on campus that had
been constructed before the luxury was
invented.
Approached about the project before
the Huntingdon Tomorrow Campaign was
announced publicly, Drum gave $1 million
to fund the construction and naming of Leo
J. Drum Jr. Theater in 2011, but wanted no
announcement about the gift made until
construction was completed or until after
his death, whichever came first. According
to Anthony Leigh, vice president for college
and alumni relations, Drum, who was preceded in death by his wife and sister and
had no children, was moved by the opportunity for the Drum name to live on. His interest grew further when he learned that the
theater would be next door to the Weil Center, a building that is named for Huntingdon trustee Dr. Laurie Jean Weil, daughter
of Drum’s best friend, the late Bucks Weil.
Finally, the civic-minded neighbor wanted
to give a lasting gift to the Cloverdale community—a space that would add to the
treasure he believed Huntingdon is.
“Leo Drum and my father were best friends;
they had a mutual admiration society,”
says Laurie Weil. “Leo was brilliant, incisive,
visionary, thoughtful, generous, modest,
and private. He was very proud of this gift
because of what it would mean to students,
to the Cloverdale community, and to Montgomery. It is touching and revealing that
Leo wanted this gift kept private until he
died, as though to say he neither wanted

nor expected credit nor thanks, but would
be proud knowing that his name would
be associated with something so transformative to student creativity, learning, and
experience.”
Certainly, the theater’s 246 retractable softbacked, graduated seats, state-of-theart theatrical lighting, glassed-in control
room, and sound system will bring a neverbefore-seen dimension to Huntingdon theater productions, which will resume through
the enthusiasm of a theater club that has
formed in anticipation of the venue’s completion. A beautiful lobby and ticket booth
will greet guests at the front door of the Cloverdale Administrative Building. The stage is
larger than that in Flowers Hall, and there
is room between the audience and the
stage for orchestra or acting space. And
yes, there will be heat and air conditioning
in the formerly un-HVACed expanse.
Sadly—but just as he wanted it—the show
and Leo Drum’s beat will go on without him.
He passed away in January 2012 (see In
Memoriam, page 61) at age 96. Upon his
death, he bequeathed a gift of nearly $2
million in addition to his theater gift—this
one to be used for student scholarships.
The inaugural event scheduled in Leo J.
Drum Jr. Theater is the Miss Huntingdon Pageant, February 16, 2013, at 7:00 p.m.
Retractable soft seats with backs are graduated in tiers for easier audience viewing, but
the modern seating, lighting, sound system, and stage accommodations are graced by the
preservation of beautiful century-old architectural details in the original auditorium.
Mid-construction, this view of the space from almost the same vantage point as the artist’s rendering on page 8 shows plastic still covering
the seats, which have not been lifted, to protect from sawdust and other effects of construction.

Huntingdon: A tapestry of
Connections
“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among
those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions
run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”
— Herman Melville
Huntingdon connections—both the impalpable and the immediate—make all the
difference as new graduates “go forth to
apply wisdom in service.” Benefactors bond
with generations of graduates by providing
the scholarships and spaces that enable
students’ growth in wisdom and engender
lifetime memories. Just as profound are the
connections created when alumni, parents,
and friends of the College offer internships
and employment to students and graduates. Internships inform students what they
do or do not enjoy doing, what they do or
do not do well, and the career paths they
might or might not want to follow in the
future. In short, internships transform theoretical knowledge into tangible, practical,
résumé-worthy experience.
During the past few years, Enterprise RentA-Car has hired Ben Cecil ’10, Kristi McDaniel ’11, Bobby Dunlap ’11, Parker Roberts
’12, Broderick Smith ’08, and Brian Watts
’11, among others, as interns and new professionals in the company’s quest to find
talented managerial interns. The interns
have taken what they learned from these
experiences to their next professional positions, or are reaching out in other ways to
help their fellow Huntingdon alumni. Today,
Cecil teaches for Montgomery Catholic
Preparatory School, McDaniel works for
Huntingdon’s Office of College and Alumni
Relations, Smith is in pharmaceutical sales
in Atlanta, and Dunlap and Watts continue
with Enterprise. When Dunlap heard about
an upcoming job fair, he spread the news

was a success.

to the Huntingdon Center for Career and
Vocation. Just that small bit of information
paid forward opportunities for more students to find professional paths.
“In my internship, I gained personal experience with customer relations and dealing
with diverse personalities,” says McDaniel.
“Instead of just reading about marketing
in a textbook, I got to market my company
to other businesses, which gave me confidence in talking with people. I had to make
presentations for regional managers, which
required critical thinking about how to improve the business.” McDaniel adds with a
chuckle, “I also learned from my internship
that I do not want to work in customer service.”
Many internships work into full-time jobs.
Mark Colson ’07, a business major, interned
at the Business Council of Alabama while
he was a student, then became a full-time
employee upon graduation, now serving as
chief of staff. He hired Drew Harrell ’11 and
Patty Clements ’12 as accounting interns.
Both are employed at BCA full-time since
graduating. “The Huntingdon experience
has a great way of preparing students to
enter the job market with a fundamental
understanding of how to turn real world
challenges into opportunities,” says Colson.
“You show me a Huntingdon graduate; I’ll
show you a problem solver.”
Religion, youth ministry, Christian education, communication studies, and physical education majors have interned in church ministries
by working with children and youth, church communications and
media, and church recreation programs. The connections extend
beyond graduation. Woods Lisenby ’11, who interned at St. James
UMC while he was a Huntingdon student, confirmed his gifts in youth
ministry through that experience. Now a student in Emory University’s
Candler School of Theology, he is completing a graduate internship
at First UMC-Prattville under the direction of fellow Huntingdon alumnus Nick Mielke ’01, the church’s director of youth ministry.
Mentoring is another invaluable resource alumni can provide for
students. When Kimberly Braxton Lloyd ’89 accepted her alumni
achievement award during 2012 Homecoming celebrations, she
volunteered to mentor Huntingdon students who want to enter the
pharmacy field, to provide internships and part-time jobs, and to be
a resource for Huntingdon faculty as a guest speaker. Quintarious
Perdue ’13, an Auburn pharmacy program admission candidate,
spoke with her during her visit and gathered some tips about the interview process, which he was to undergo three days later. The day
after his interview, he was notified of acceptance into the program.
Alumni who teach have welcomed Huntingdon student teaching
interns. Doctors and dentists have served as mentors for students
who wish to enter those professions. Law offices have hired clerks
and runners. Labs have hired lab assistants and researchers. Politicians have involved students in campaigns, constituency relations,
or research.
U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions ’69 hires at least one Huntingdon intern a
year in his Washington, D.C., office. Trace Zarr ’13, who is considering a career as a political lobbyist, interned with Senator Sessions

and with U.S. Representative Jo Bonner last summer. Other Sessions
interns have included Robert La Branche ’06, who just completed
his graduate degree in national security and strategic studies, Cole
Muzio ’11, who has continued working with political campaigns, and
Deb Garrett ’11, a law student. Clearly dazzled by the experience,
Zarr wrote:
While in Senator Sessions’ office I worked with his defense office,
researching topics and attending committee meetings on special interests. I gained incredible insight about our governmental
process. It was an honor to work alongside such distinguished individuals.
The most memorable highlight of my … experience in Washington
was the Capitol Dome tour completed by the interns in Congressman Bonner’s office. We climbed nearly 300 feet to an incredible
view of the National Mall and D.C. landscape. I was surrounded
by structures that symbolize this nation: the Library of Congress,
Supreme Court, all the Senate and House office buildings, the
Smithsonian and Washington Monument. I was gazing down on
the greatest city in the world, working in perhaps the greatest
building in the world.
To say my time in Washington, D.C., was anything but incredible
would be doing it an injustice. To anyone considering this internship, I would definitely recommend it.
These threads of connection build the fabric of success and inspire
students to move forward on their professional paths. If you would

Choosing
Honor
The Huntingdon Honors Program, in its third year, has grown from a
handful of participants to a group nearly 100-strong at all levels. The
program is overseen by Dr. Chad Eggleston, special assistant to the
provost and director of the Staton Center for Learning Enrichment
and the Honors Program, who has put his energy toward creating
the type of stature, space, and recognition for these academic
leaders as is normally extended to other cohort groups, such as
athletes, musicians, and students involved in campus ministries and
student government. In addition to the Honors-designated classes
offered, Eggleston has set up an Honors Lounge in Jackson Home,
open to all students, to provide a “get-away” for those who seek
quiet time or a comfortable study area.
“The purpose of the Honors Program is to encourage our most ambitious students,” says Eggleston. “While every student deserves and
receives our full support, this group is just as worthy of special recognition as other college leaders. The program also provides space
and time for students who share the same academic preparation
and standards of achievement to share dialog and discourse.”
To be eligible for participation in the Honors Program, students must
first complete an Honors Core: 18 hours of honors-designated core
classes in which they may choose to enroll if they have achieved
a composite score of at least 24 on the ACT as incoming freshmen or transfer students. Honors students comprise two of a number of Learning Communities into which first-year students have
been grouped this year, sharing Practicing the Art of Critical Thinking (PACT), Hebrew Scriptures, and English Composition courses
together.
and completing six hours of language study, among other requirements. Two colloquia were offered during the fall semester: a discussion with President West about his Presidential Convocation speech,
and viewing of and discussion about the third presidential debate.
To graduate with honors, a student must earn a cumulative grade
point average of at least 3.5 overall and at least 3.0 in the Honors
Core and complete the Honors Program.
Jamal Bias ’16 of Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., welcomes the challenge of
honors courses. “More is expected from an honors student, and that
level of expectation is something I strive to meet. I love the diversity
of the students in the program.”
“My father always told me to
do everything in excellence, so
joining the Honors Program was
an easy choice,” says Abby
Bellman ’16 of Montgomery. “I
like that the program challenges us and gives us room and independence to think and form
new ideas.”
“I joined the Honors Program to
get that extra challenge in the
classroom,” says Katie McLean
’16 of Paradise, Utah. “I enjoy
having class with a group of
people who are involved in different aspects of student life.
It helps me get to know more
people.”
Learning Communities have created close-knit groups of students—
perhaps nowhere more so than in the Honors Core. “I love that the
Honors Program put the honors students into Learning Communities,” says Niki Kennedy ’16 of Taylor, Ala., “because we now have a
group of people whom we can rely upon.”
Many students cite their peers as the component they enjoy most
about the Honors Program, recognizing that enthusiasm for learning is contagious and motivating. Skye Esry ’16 of Eufaula, Ala., says
she joined the program so that she could be among peers who will
“challenge my thinking and better my education as a whole.”
Dr. Chad Eggleston, also an assistant professor of religion, conducts
an honors section of the Hebrew Scriptures course.
Anna DeMedicis ’16 of Birmingham says she joined the Honors Program for the advanced academic community. “This community allows us to use critical thinking skills to go beyond the normal class
curriculum. The people are motivated and enthusiastic to learn.”
Learning Community faculty meet regularly to discuss students’
progress, subject matter, topics for class discussion, and styles of
learning—an aspect of the program appreciated by Patrick Kucera
’16 of Daphne, Ala. “My favorite thing about the program is how the
teachers work together to incorporate different styles of learning.”
After completion of the Honors Core, students may apply to be part
of the Honors Program, participating in a series of Honors Colloquia

Collegiate Exchange Club
Helps New Clubs Form
Members of Huntingdon’s Collegiate Exchange Club, the only collegiate Exchange Club chapter in the U.S., and faculty advisers Dr.
Maureen Kendrick Murphy ’78 and Dr. Doba Jackson (both from the
Department of Chemistry) were invited to present on the process of
club-building for the 94th National Exchange Club Convention and
Symposium held in Arizona in July. Huntingdon Exchangites are helping to build sister clubs at eight colleges and universities. The club
received a National Service Award for their work during the 2011–12
academic year.
Yearbook Wins National Award
The 2010–11 Bells & Pomegranates (Huntingdon yearbook) was
awarded the Silver Medalist Certificate by the Columbia Scholastic
Press Association based on the standards of good journalism represented in the book. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association
is a program affiliated with the Graduate School of Journalism at
Columbia University in New York City. The project adviser was Sara
Beth Terry, director of student activities; staff included Ashton Rodriguez ’12 (Elba, Ala.); Katie Wachob ’14 (Pensacola, Fla.); Winston
Wooten ’13 (Dothan, Ala.); and Sandra Pattison ’14 (Shalimar, Fla.).
Elementary Education Major Adds
Certification, Student Organizations
The Department of Teacher Education has added certification in special education and changed the
name of the elementary education
major to elementary/collaborative
special education, effective this
fall semester. The new major equips
graduates with K–6 teacher certification in elementary education and
nine areas of special education,
increasing graduates’ employability as well as their responsiveness as
teachers to special needs students
who are integrated into the regular
classroom. Students entering the program this fall began preparation for admission to the new major automatically.
Department chair Dr. Celia Smith Rudolph ’81 and faculty have reinstated the long-dormant chapter of Kappa Delta Epsilon honor society. This year, Huntingdon became the first college in the state to
offer a student chapter of the Association for School Curriculum and
Development, connecting students with current educational issues
and future employers.
Musicians Toot their Own Horns
More than 1,000 high school band
students have participated in musical events on the Huntingdon campus during the past year. A few high
schoolers joined the Pep Band to
excite the crowd during a February basketball game. In March,
70 students from 30 high schools
were part of a Symphonic Honor
14
Band experience. During the summer, a band camp attracted
regional marching musicians. A Marching Band Invitational in October brought 870 students in their high school bands to perform at
Samford Stadium, with a marching honor band the following week.
Exposure to campus eases high schoolers’ anxiety and plants the
seeds for them to consider Huntingdon for their college home.
Celebrating Title IX
Huntingdon celebrated 40
years of Title IX during Homecoming/Family Weekend 2012.
The federal law that states no
person can be excluded from
participation in, or denied the
benefits of, or be subjected
to discrimination under any
educational program or activity receiving federal financial
assistance, Title IX was a breakthrough law when it was ratified in 1972. Speakers for Huntingdon’s
40th anniversary observance included alumnae Deb Sonnenberg
’94, Tiffany Jordan ’09, and Dr. Michele Olson ’87.
ADCP Adds a Site
Huntingdon’s Adult Degree Completion Program has added a Birmingham site at Lawson State Community College. ADCP allows
adult returning learners to complete their bachelor’s degrees in
business management by attending classes one night a week in
five-week sessions. The LSCC site will offer a concentration in health
management. Other sites are in Enterprise, Brewton, Bay Minette,
Daphne, Gadsden, Center Point, Shelby, Pell City, Clanton and
Montgomery. ADCP is a program of the W. James Samford Jr.
School of Business and Professional Studies.
Huntingdon Joins USA South
Athletic Conference
Huntingdon College President J. Cameron West announced in May
that Huntingdon will join the NCAA-Division III USA South Athletic Conference beginning in the fall of 2013. Huntingdon and Covenant College (Ga.) were approved as members simultaneously. Other USA
South members are Averett University (Va.), Ferrum College (Va.),
Greensboro College (N.C.), Mary Baldwin College (Va.), Meredith
College (N.C.), Methodist University (N.C.), N.C. Wesleyan College
(N.C.), William Peace University (N.C.), and the Conference’s newest members, LaGrange College (Ga.), Piedmont College (Ga.),
and Maryville College (Tenn.). Joining an athletic conference provides student-athletes in participating sports with the opportunity to
qualify for post-season competition. Conference membership also
means there is a ready set of available opponents for regular season competition. Huntingdon fields teams in men’s baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer and tennis, and in
women’s basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball,
tennis and volleyball. The College has competed in the NCAA-Division III Great South Athletic Conference since 2002. The USA South
Athletic Conference will accommodate conference championship
competition for most of Huntingdon’s intercollegiate athletic teams,
including football. Women’s golf remains independent.

Hawks Nest
Huntingdon Men’s Teams Win
First GSAC President’s Cup
The Huntingdon men’s teams earned the Hawks athletic program its
first Great South Athletic Conference President’s Cup in recognition
of their performance during the 2011–12 academic year. The Presidents’ Cup, one each for men and women, is awarded to the GSAC
school accumulating the highest points total in an academic year,
with points based on order of finish in the championships. The 2012–
13 academic year is the last for Huntingdon teams to compete in the
GSAC, as the College will be part of the NCAA-Division III USA South
Athletic Conference beginning fall 2013. (Read more on page 14.)
Baseball
The Hawks baseball team put together
one of its strongest seasons under eighthyear head coach D.J. Conville ’98. The
Hawks won 30 games in 2012, made a
third straight appearance in the GSAC

the men’s basketball team was
in rebuilding mode during the
2011–12 season. A year after winning the GSAC Championship,
the Huntingdon men entered
the season with limited experience. A season highlight was an
87-74 win over Maryville, snapping a 14-game losing streak against
the Scots. Huntingdon finished the season with a 7-19 record and
lost to LaGrange in the GSAC tournament. Junior Jeremiah Thomas
and sophomore Jason Varney earned All-Conference recognition.
Senior Mike Kilpatrick and sophomore Cody Tackett were named to
the Academic All-Conference Team. Coming off a nine-win season
in 2011 and a five-win season in 2010, the Lady Hawks finished with
a 16-11 record and reached the GSAC semifinals for the first time
22
since 2009. Only two other Huntingdon women’s basketball teams
have won as many games in a season. The season ended with a
loss to Maryville in the GSAC semifinals. Junior Morgan Crawford was
named to the All-Conference Team and Patricia Pickens and Chelsea Graham were named to the All-Freshman Team. Crawford, Jessi
Andrews, Jasmine Holcey, Katie Martin, Alyssa McCurry, Sekal Ousley, and Kali Sands earned Academic All-Conference recognition.
Cross Country
The cross country program was in rebuilding
mode during its fifth season. Under first-year
head coach Ben Raphelson, Huntingdon
competed with two runners for most of the
season. Senior Brianna McClure (left) and
freshman Kristen Curtis (right) competed in
four meets this season and made progress
from start to finish. McClure finished 14th in the
Great South Athletic Conference meet and
Curtis finished 24th.
Football
The Huntingdon football team broke into
the national rankings for the first time this
fall. The Hawks’ 24-21 win over then-21stranked Hampden-Sydney propelled
Huntingdon into the D3football.com Top25. Huntingdon entered at No. 24 and
rose to No. 16 before a 31-21 loss to fifthranked Wesley College (Del.). The game
with Wesley was the first battle of Top25 teams at Samford Stadium. Huntingdon finished the season 6-3. Individually, the accomplishments were many. Second-team preseason AllAmerican Trevor Manuel (pictured scoring) entered his senior season as Huntingdon’s career rushing leader and continued to add to
his accomplishments, breaking the single-season record for rushing
touchdowns. First-team preseason All-American D.J. Chappell finished second on the Hawks’ career list for sacks and tackles for loss
and quarterback Neal Posey closed his collegiate career as the second-leading passer in Huntingdon history.
Early in the fall, Head Football Coach Mike Turk was inducted into
the Troy University Athletic Hall of Fame. As Troy’s quarterback, Turk
led the Trojans to a 40-8-1 record and two NCAA-Division II national
titles (1984 and 1987).
Golf
The Huntingdon men’s golf team qualified for the NCAA-Division III
National Championship for an eighth consecutive year and finished
tenth in the country. Counting Huntingdon’s final three seasons in
the NAIA, this was the eleventh consecutive year the Hawks have
reached a national tournament. Junior Sam Strachan and freshman
Thomas Mitchell earned second-team All-American recognition.
Strachan tied for ninth in the national
championship and Mitchell tied for
twelfth. Strachan, Mitchell, and
sophomore Jamey Lester were
GSAC All-Conference selections.
Griffin Just was named to the Academic All-Conference Team. The
Huntingdon women’s golf team
continued to make improvement
in its fourth season of competition.
Sophomore and team MVP Saem Hur (right) led Huntingdon and
finished second individually in the GSAC tournament. Junior Ali Hamil
was sixth in the GSAC tournament and senior Kaitlin Rozof (left) tied
for seventh. Hur earned All-Conference recognition. Hur and Rozof
were Academic All-Conference selections.
Lacrosse
The first-year Huntingdon men’s lacrosse
team picked up the first win in school
history during its season opener February 18, knocking off Oglethorpe 12-5 at
Samford Stadium. Brandon Sewell scored
the first goal in program history and Ryan
Rees recorded the first assist. With a team
of mostly freshmen and sophomores
and many first-time players, the Hawks
wrapped up their inaugural season with a record of 5-10. Senior
Alex Taylor was named the Most Improved Player, Steven Gernatt
was named team MVP, and Spencer Nix received the Unsung Hero
Award. The Huntingdon women’s lacrosse team begins its historic
first season in the spring of 2013, with the first match scheduled versus

Soccer
The Huntingdon men’s and women’s soccer teams welcomed new
head coaches this fall, with former
Huntingdon player Timmy McCormack ’08 taking over the men’s program and former women’s assistant
Robert Milner leading the women’s
program. McCormack guided the
Hawks to a 5-11-2 record. In the process, Huntingdon defeated Maryville
2-1 in double overtime to pick up its
first win against the Scots since 1999.
Senior Stacy Terry (#11) scored 11
goals this season, setting Huntingdon’s NCAA-era mark for goals in a
season. In their final season of competition in the GSAC, the Huntingdon women advanced to the GSAC
semifinals before losing to Agnes Scott 1-0. The Lady Hawks finished
with a 3-14-1 record but showed progress all season. Senior Jenny
Burnash and juniors Mary Kathryn Allen and Kate Garrigan earned
All-Conference recognition and Josie Byard, Carlie Reed, and Ashlie

Huntingdon traveled to Tyler, Texas,
for the Regionals, where the Lady
Hawks lost to fourth-ranked Pacific
Lutheran in the first game and fell

tournament, finishing with a 28-15 record on the season. Aleah Payne
was named GSAC Player of the Year and Breanna Giordana was
named GSAC Pitcher of the Year for a second straight season. Head
Coach Gynger Williams was recognized as the GSAC Coach of the
Year. Joining Payne and Giordana on the All-Conference Team were
Brittany Richardson, Lauren Welch, and Holly Ostrander. Welch, Giordana, Payne, and Taylor were Academic All-Conference selections.
Tennis
The Huntingdon men’s and women’s tennis teams got to play on
brand new courts last spring as the
George S. Gibbs Tennis Center, a
Huntingdon Tomorrow project, was
completed in time for intercollegiate play. Both teams reached the
GSAC finals in 2012, with the men
winning the GSAC title in their final season in the conference and the
women finishing as runners-up. For the men, it was the fifth consecutive appearance in the GSAC finals and the third conference title in
five seasons under head coach Charlie Lane ’71. Zac Baldwin was
named GSAC Freshman of the Year and, along with Lee Howell, was
named to the All-Freshman Team. Sean Jackson, Tyler Creamer, and
Larry Pritchett earned All-Conference selections for singles play, and
Baldwin and Jackson earned All-Conference recognition in doubles.
Creamer and Pritchett were Academic All-Conference selections.
The women’s team reached the GSAC finals for a sixth consecutive
season, but fell to Agnes Scott College in their fourth straight matchup for the conference title. Freshman Taylor Clark pulled off one of
the biggest wins of the tournament when she knocked off Agnes
Scott junior and three-time GSAC Player of the Year Rachel Storz 6-4,
6-4. It was the first conference loss for Storz in three seasons. Clark was
named the GSAC Freshman of the Year and finished the season with
a 9-1 record against GSAC competition. Christian Vick, Katie Scott,
Hannah Still, and Arielle Barraca joined Clark on the All-Conference
Team. Clark and Still were also named to the All-Freshman Team and
Vick and Scott were Academic All-Conference selections.

Following a slow start, first-year head

Lady Hawks to win 10 of 11 matches
during the middle of the season,
entering the GSAC championship
match as the No. 1 seed with a
15-18 record. Salem College upset
Huntingdon in the GSAC championship match. Kelly Kahumoku and

Support
the Huntingdon Fund
What difference did Huntingdon make in your life?
When you make a gift to the Huntingdon Fund, you make a
difference in the life of Huntingdon College and in the lives
of those who are educated here—students who are primarily
from the Southeast and who might not otherwise be able to
afford a private college education; students who are just like
you were when Huntingdon changed your life.
Gifts to the Huntingdon Fund are Huntingdon’s most critical
need at this time. Gifts of any amount are welcome and necessary to ensure the sustained success of this great college.
Those who give at the level of $1,000 or more become members of the Huntingdon Society.
Will you give today?

In recognition of character such that the “spiritual standard of
the institution may be judged by the character of the person
to whom the award is made,” Trustee Howard Adams was honored with the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award in May. The award is
made possible in selected southern colleges and universities by
the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation of New York. Howard
is surrounded by family members (L–R) Shawn Macon Adams
’96, married to Howard’s son, Jason Adams ’96; Howard’s wife,
Cheryl; their daughter, Susan Adams Cooper ’99; and Susan’s
husband, Jay Cooper.
Members of the family of the late Robert Doyle Pullum ’67 joined
in celebration of his posthumous induction into the John Massey
Heritage Society in May. Mr. Pullum, of Lafayette, La., passed
away in 2011, leaving the proceeds of a life insurance policy to
the College. He was pre-deceased by his wife, Christine Sidaris
Pullum ’59. His family members (L–R), including his sister, Willie
Jean Sellers; her husband, Robert; and their son, Greg Sellers ’86,
with Greg’s wife, Christy Cole Sellers ’86, accepted the JMHS
recognition from President West. The life insurance proceeds
were used to establish a scholarship for a non-traditional student
at Huntingdon.
1997 Alumni Loyalty Award winner Dorothy Hoag Bell ’52 was inducted posthumously into the John Massey Heritage Society in
May in recognition of making provisions for Huntingdon’s Houghton Library in her will. The award was accepted by daughters
(L–R) Barbara Bell Stalzer and Elizabeth Bell Strub and granddaughter Cara Stalzer.

Members of the President’s Circle contribute between $2,500 and $4,999 during the fiscal year.

Continue the Legacy!
Alumni can impact positively the lives of prospective students
with the awarding of the $10,000 Alumni Legacy Grant. You
may refer up to three students annually by sending the student’s name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address, and
current school information; your name, address, class year,
and contact information; and a paragraph or two about how
you know the student and why you think he or she would be
an asset to Huntingdon College. The Alumni Legacy Grant is
renewable for up to three additional years of study, requires
on-campus residency, and requires the student to maintain
satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of his
or her degree. Applications cannot be submitted after the first
day of classes of a student’s first year at Huntingdon College.

Two Scholarships Honor Alumna
Pearl Norton Jackson
Two scholarships have been established to honor Huntingdon
alumna Pearl Norton Jackson ’39 (Mrs. Alto L.) of Clio, Ala.
The scholarships were established by Mrs. Jackson’s daughter, Caroline Jackson, of Arlington, Va. The Pearl Norton Jackson Endowed Scholarship and the Pearl Norton Jackson Gift
Scholarship will be awarded to students of high achievement
who are majoring in mathematics.
Mrs. Jackson, a 1939 Huntingdon College graduate and mathematics major, won the College’s Margaret Read Scholarship
Medal for earning the highest four-year academic grade
point average (4.0) in her class. After graduation, she taught
math, science, and English for two years at Capitol Heights
Jr. High School in Montgomery and for another two years at
Clio’s Barbour County High School. For the next two decades,
she supported her four children in attaining academic excellence. In 1966 she accepted the newly-created position of Title I Supervisor for the Barbour County School System, assisting
teachers in 24 schools in teaching “new math” to students. At
age 57 she earned her Master of Science degree at night and
continued in her supervisory position until retirement at age 74.
A life-long resident of Barbour County, Mrs. Jackson taught the
youth Sunday School class at Clio United Methodist Church
and, until age 90, served as church treasurer.
Preference for the scholarship recipients will be given to those
majoring in math who are Barbour County residents and active members of United Methodist churches in the AlabamaWest Florida Conference. Incoming freshmen who have
earned grade point averages of at least 3.0 are eligible to be
considered for the Pearl Norton Jackson Endowed Scholarship. A 3.3 grade point average is required for the Pearl Norton
Jackson Gift Scholarship.

of Huntingdon history. Inell’s husband, Herb McGee ’62, was
recruited by Huntingdon’s first athletic director, Neal Posey, to
play basketball. He came from Georgia on the condition that
his best friend, John Mabry ’61, could come along and begin a
baseball program at the College. (John became the first head
baseball coach of the program.) After Inell and Herb married,
they settled in Selma, where Inell was a long-time English teacher and Herb was a teacher, coach, and principal—both for the
local high school. Herb passed away in 2006.
(L–R) Su Ofe, associate vice president for communications and
marketing, accepted on behalf of the College the gift of a
Frances Lanier ’38 painting from Dr. Monica McGee Decker (a
veterinarian in Indiana), Stan McGee (an attorney and counsel
to the Governor of Massachusetts), and Gavin McGee (not pictured, a businessman in Arizona). The McGee children donated the painting, part of a collection of paintings held by their
mother, Inell Rentz McGee ’63, in their mother’s memory. Lanier,
a Marine captain who commanded more than 200 troops during WWII and later became a prominent artist, and McGee,
Inell’s sister, Charlene Rentz Meadows ’64, also met her husband,
Athletic Hall of Fame member Don Meadows ’63, at Huntingdon. They are the parents of Andy Meadows ’89, a teacher in
Mountain Brook, Ala., and the Rev. Tim Meadows ’91, pastor of
Asbury United Methodist Church in Pike Road, Ala.
One other tidbit of historical connection: it was the late storyteller, writer, and journalist Kathryn Tucker Windham ’39 who
convinced Lanier to return to Alabama after Lanier served in
the military and began her art career in California.
The College purchased a second Lanier painting from McGee’s collection, and both paintings are hanging in the Office
of the President’s suite in Flowers Hall.

Faculty & Staff
Join the Scarlet
and Grey Circle!
The Scarlet and Grey Circle was created for loyal
Huntingdon students and alumni who want to preserve the Huntingdon experience for future generations of students. By joining the Circle, students
and alumni pledge to do three things:
• be a life-long ambassador for the College
• encourage future students to attend
Huntingdon; and
• make an annual gift to the College.
There is no dollar requirement for the annual gift;
rather, the Scarlet and Grey Circle celebrates the
act of giving back to the College each and every
year.
Having a large number of Huntingdon alumni who
are willing to pledge a lifetime commitment to the
College speaks volumes to foundations and other
major donors who evaluate colleges and universities based on their alumni giving percentages.

Dr. Anthony Jack “Tony” Carlisle ’76,
Alumnus, Professor, and Former
Academic Vice President
Dr. Anthony Jack (Tony) Carlisle,
Huntingdon Class of 1976, died
Feb. 7, 2012, after a long battle
with cancer. A member of the
Huntingdon faculty since 1978, Carlisle invested his teaching and professional life in the life of Huntingdon College, serving as chair of the
Department of Mathematical and
Computer Sciences and vice president for academic affairs and dean
of faculty among many roles during
his long Huntingdon tenure.
Huntingdon President J. Cameron West said, “Dr. Tony Carlisle’s
character and professional excellence set a standard by which other professors and deans who followed him have been measured.
He was honest, discerning, forthright, and committed. The tributes
and testimonies posted on the College Facebook page indicate
the impact he had on the lives of Huntingdon students. Our thoughts
and prayers surround the Carlisle family, including his wife of 37 years
and Huntingdon classmate, Renee Byrd Carlisle ’76, a member of
the Huntingdon staff in the Department of Teacher Certification.”
Before graduating from Huntingdon, Carlisle began working as a
systems analyst with the State Department of Education’s Division
of Vocational Education/Vocational Management Information System, where he served until 1978, two years after completing his degree. He then began working as a senior systems analyst for Huntingdon, also serving as an instructor in computer science. His love for
teaching led him to complete master’s degrees at Auburn University
(MBA) and the University of Alabama-Birmingham (M.S.), as well as
a doctorate at Auburn University. During his nearly 30-year teaching
career, he taught computer science, mathematics, and digital imaging courses. He was appointed chair of the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences in 1999, associate dean of faculty
in the School of Sciences in 2005, and associate dean of faculty in
the School of Arts and Sciences in 2006. Carlisle was appointed by
President West as acting dean of faculty in 2007, moving to the role
of vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty during
the 2007–08 academic year. His health forced him to step down
from that role in February 2008.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Dr. Anthony J. Carlisle
Scholarship Fund at Huntingdon College.
Bishop Paul A. Duffey
Bishop Paul Andrews Duffey passed away Mar. 18, 2012, in Georgia
following a brief illness.
Bishop Duffey and his late wife, Louise Calhoun Duffey ’42, endeared
themselves to all who met them. A remembrance by Bishop Lindsey
Davis on the Kentucky Annual Conference Web site stated, “Bishop
Duffey was one of God’s humble servants, leading Kentucky Methodism with keen judgment and a gentle spirit. He was a man of
good humor, a quick wit and a deep affection for the pastors and
laity under his care. He watched over us in love, and we benefited
from his skilled leadership.”
Paul Duffey began life a twin in Brownsville, Tenn. After attending
the University of Alabama, he earned his undergraduate degree
from Birmingham-Southern College and his Master of Divinity from
the Divinity School at Vanderbilt University. Before finishing his formal
education he joined the Tennessee Annual Conference, where he
was ordained a deacon and elder. He served the Chapel Hill Circuit
in the Tennessee Conference, then served six appointments in the
Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference: Abbeville; First Church,
Marion; Dexter Avenue, Montgomery; First Church, Pensacola: First
Church, Dothan; and First Church, Montgomery. In 1976 he was
named district superintendent of the Montgomery District of the
Alabama-West Florida Conference,
where he was serving at the time of
his election to the episcopacy by the
Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference. He was assigned to the Louisville
Area and served eight years. He was
also Secretary of the Council of Bishops 1984–88.
Bishop Duffey’s service was recognized with honorary doctorates from
Huntingdon College (2000), Birmingham-Southern College, Union College,
and Kentucky Wesleyan College. He
was honored with the Distinguished
Service Award by Lindsey Wilson College and the Trustees Award by Sue
Bennett College. Huntingdon President J. Cameron West named the
College’s Paul A. Duffey Institute for
Church Leadership in his honor. The
Duffeys were members of the John
Massey Heritage Society and the Hall
of Honor.
Bishop Paul Duffey tossed the
coin to open the Homecoming football game in 2010.
Former Huntingdon trustee Dr. Karl Stegall said, “One of my favorite definitions of a saint is ‘One who makes it easier for others to believe in
God.’ Bishop Duffey was that kind of individual. He made goodness
contagious.”
Memorial contributions may be made to the Huntingdon Fund for
Scholarships.
Leo J. Drum Jr., Friend of the College
Long-time College friend Leo J. Drum Jr. died
at age 96, Jan. 6, 2012, in Montgomery. During his lifetime, he contributed nearly $2 million to Huntingdon, including a million dollar
gift to the College’s Huntingdon Tomorrow
Campaign for the renovation and renaming
of the Cloverdale Theatre, which will reopen
as the Leo J. Drum Theatre next year. Drum
also endowed scholarships in his own name
and in the name of his mother, Carolyn R.
Drum, and left a generous bequest to the
College’s scholarship fund in his will. He was a
member of Huntingdon’s Order of the Countess, the Hall of Honor, the Huntingdon Society,
and the John Massey Heritage Society.
Drum graduated from the Barnes School and earned a Bachelor of
Science with highest honors in the mechanical engineering major at
Georgia Institute of Technology in 1935. He was employed by TVA
61
and later by the York Air Conditioning Company. In April 1941 he
was called to five years of active duty with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, spending more than three years in the European Theater
of Operations (1942–45), earning the Bronze Star for meritorious service, and ended his active service as a lieutenant colonel. In 1946
he founded Capital Refrigeration Company, which he owned and
operated until the company was sold in 1991.
A lifetime member of Temple Beth-Or, he served on its Board of Trustees for many years. He served several terms on the Board of Trustees
of the Standard Club and was elected as president of the board in
1953. Georgia Tech inducted Drum into its Engineering Hall of Fame
in 2005. He was a member of the Montgomery Rotary Club for more
than 60 years and a member of the Montgomery Country Club.
Drum was a registered engineer in Alabama and Georgia and was
a member of several national engineering societies.
His wife of many years, Martha Hall Drum, preceded him in death.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Leo J. Drum Endowed
Scholarship, the Carolyn R. Drum Endowed Scholarship, the Leo J.

Alumna and Trustee Emerita
Dorothy Rainer Sellars ’48
Class of 1948 alumna and Trustee Emerita Dorothy Rainer Sellars of
Opp, Ala., died June 18, 2012.
Sellars owned and operated the Dorothy Rainer Sellars School of
Dance for more than 50 years, serving more than 1,500 dancers
since it formed in Florala, Ala., in 1953. The school moved to Opp in
1974. On the school’s 50th annual performance in 2003, Sellars was
saluted for her many years of work to provide cultural enrichment in
the Opp area. In recognition of her guidance and teaching, her students donated two chairs in Ligon Chapel, Flowers Hall, at Huntingdon College, named for Dorothy and for her husband, the late William A. “Doc” Sellars.
eron West said, “She has touched so
many lives through her commitments
to the arts and to enriching the cultural
opportunities for young people in the
southern Alabama region. It would be
difficult to name a more dedicated
alumna or one who has given more
of her time and energy to Huntingdon
College. We are honored that her
name, as well as her husband’s name,
are engraved in the Chapel for all to
see and appreciate her good work.”
Sellars studied dance in residence in
New York City after graduating as the
valedictorian of the Opp High School
Class of 1944, and she returned annually during the summers to study with
Thalia Mara at the National Academy
of Ballet and with Henry LeTang, a
leading teacher of tap and a Broadway show choreographer. After
graduating from Huntingdon with a major in history and an English
minor in 1948, she attended the University of Alabama for graduate
study in history. Beginning in 1965, she directed students on study
tours to New York each year for many years.
The recipient of Huntingdon’s Alumni Loyalty Award in 1977 and
Alumni Achievement Award in 1985, Sellars became a member of
the Huntingdon College Board of Trustees in 1991. She served as a
speaker for the College’s Founders Day celebration in 1986. She has
served on the Alabama State Council on the Arts, as a judge for
Alabama State Junior Miss pageants, and as a judge for the Arts
Council of Montgomery’s ACES project; and was a member of the
Alabama Dance Council, Professional Dance Teachers Association,
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Opp Chamber of Commerce. She wrote nearly
two dozen articles for DANCE Magazine and authored a book, The
Dance Teacher Today, DANAD Publishing Company, New York, in
1969.
Recognizing Sellars’ years of service, Huntingdon President J. Cam-
The Sellars family has established the Dorothy Rainer Sellars Scholarship at Huntingdon, to which gifts in her memory may be made.

A college is a singing stride
Toward the portals of maturity,
A way of life deep-rooted as a pine;
A candle in a quiet aisle of prayer;
A college is longing and laughter
And fear and fulfillment,
And looking forward and looking
back.
A college goes on forever,
Not in microscopes or maps,
Or ledgers or violins,
Or even tall maples that brush the sky,
But in the still reaches of the hearts
That having loved it, and afterward
understood it,
Bear its mark forever.
