The World

President’s Perspectives 

Setting Our 

Standards High

Table of Contents 

Often we talk about something being “average” as if it were the accepted norm. 

We talk about being an average athlete, average student, average program, or 

simply an average person. We even compliment ourselves at times that we are 

just “an average Joe.” But being average isn’t necessarily a compliment because 

being “average” means that we’re just as near the bottom as we are the top.

Shane & Shane in concert. 

Hannibal-LaGrange College has no desire to be an “average college.” We 

aren’t interested in attracting “average students” who sit in “average classes” 

taught by “average professors.” HLG has made a commitment to raise its 

standards. Our Strategic Planning Team vision statement says that we have 

a goal to become one of the “foremost institutions of Christian higher 

education in the state of Missouri and the surrounding region.” In order 

to accomplish that goal, we can’t settle for being average. As a result 

we have raised our standards. The entrance requirements for students 

entering HLG have been increased in recent years, and as a result we 

are attracting above-average students. We have committed ourselves 

to employing faculty with advanced degrees and extensive experience in 

their fields of instruction. To encourage our current faculty to stay on the 

cuffing edge in their specialities, the college is providing the funds for their 

professional development. 

If you’ve been on the campus in the past ten years, you will agree with 

me that the facilities constructed in recent years, the Roland Fine 

Arts Center, the Carroll Missions Center, Memorial Hall, and other 

facilities, are far from “average.” These beautiful new facilities 

provide an environment that enhances the teaching and learning 

experience for our faculty and students. 

Setting our standards high also means that we are implementing 

a variety of programs that expand the horizons of our students 

(i.e., study-abroad opportunities, innovative instruction, handson 

experiences). It also means that we have made a concerted 

effort to open our doors to more international students. This 

academic year, eighteen countries are represented among 

our student body. This exposure to various cultures from 

around the world is not only an enriching experience for 

those students who come from those countries, but it is 

vitally significant for our American students as well. Our 

international students bring a variety of customs and 

a wealth of experiences from which we all learn and 

benefit. They add to the high standards we’ve set. 

God continues to bless HLG in many wonderful 

ways. For those of you who have helped us to raise 

the standards and provide a “quality education in a 

distinctively Christian environment,” 

I say THANKS!

I love to travel! 

I have had some wonderful 

opportunities traveling both domestically 

and internationally. I’ve had my share of 

missed flights, lost luggage and unruly 

cabin partners and have sometimes 

experienced greater memories from the 

flight than the exotic destination. I am 

intrigued with different lands, languages, 

customs, and people. Moreover, I 

continue to be amazed and often 

ashamed at what I don’t know about 

the world around me. I find myself 

sensitized to new cultures and grateful for new experiences that educate 

my mind and shape my character. 

That’s what we are all about here at HLG. We are in the business of 

educating minds and shaping characters. Now, there’s nothing really 

exotic about Hannibal, Missouri. However, on the campus of HLG, I 

come in contact with a nuclear physicist, a Bible translator, Ivy League 

grads, a fighter pilot, and furloughed missionaries all before lunch. It is 

an exciting place to be! 

We are proud of the students we serve here at Hannibal-LaGrange 

College. Each coed brings a wealth of life experience to the halls of 

HLG. From counties to continents, our student population is varied 

and diverse and are both pupils and teachers. The HLG community is a 

mini melting pot of education and culture where students are welcomed 

to bring their unique experiences and backgrounds to “America’s 

Hometown.” 

Consequently, in this issue of the Reflections, we feature several 

international students who bring an exciting and welcomed flavor 

to our campus. Their sacrifice in order to earn an education is both 

heartwarming and inspiring. Twenty-eight international students from 

eighteen countries make HLG their home away from home this year and 

we are blessed to call them “family.” 

The iconic arch that graces all HLG printed materials from envelopes 

to diplomas is more than a trademark. For those students who pass 

through the arch on their first and last days at Hannibal-LaGrange 

College, it is a symbol of passage to a new life. They are embarking on a 

journey that will shape their lives for years to come. 

I know you will enjoy reading the stories of men and women from all 

walks of life who have chosen to “visit” our campus—some for only four 

years or so, others who have decided to stay. So please make sure your 

seat back and tray tables are in their full upright position, and on behalf 

of the entire HLG crew, thank you for joining us on this trip. We know 

you have a choice in choosing a college for your student, and we thank 

you for choosing Hannibal-LaGrange College. Sit back, relax, and enjoy 

the Reflections.

“This is a historical day in the life of Hannibal-LaGrange 

College,” said Tom Hufty, Vice President for Collegiate Affairs and 

Assistant to the President, at HLG’s decennial celebration in honor 

of President Woodrow Burt. “Today we are honoring a 

tremendous leader, a great man of integrity, and 

a friend.” 

Burt was honored at a special chapel 

service for his 10 years as president of 

Hannibal-LaGrange College. Burt 

has served at HLG for a total of 26 

years, in the positions of Dean of 

Student Development, Academic 

Dean, Registrar, Chief Development 

Officer, Executive Vice- 

President, Interim President, and 

President. 

February 2005 marked Burt’s 

official anniversary. During his 

tenure as president, Burt has seen the 

residential enrollment grow by more 

than 200%. Under his supervision dorms 

have been renovated, the athletic program 

has expanded, and the college’s administrative 

organization has 

been restructured. 

Burt’s largest 

undertaking to 

date has been 

the Roland Fine 

Arts Center, and 

most recently he 

oversaw the addition 

of the Carroll 

Missions Center to 

the campus. 

“The heart of [Dr. Burt’s] leadership is 

found not in physical buildings but in the 

building of people,” said Hufty. “I feel I’m a 

better leader by virtue of the time I’ve spent 

with him. I also believe others on campus have benefited from 

sitting under the shade of his leadership.” 

Dr. Garry Breland, Vice President for Academic Affairs, noted 

that “every day, the foremost thought on Dr. Burt’s mind is the 

welfare and well-being of his students.” 

Jered Taylor, HLG’s Student Government Association 

President, agreed, noting that Burt “is 

an amazing man of insight. He loves God 

and he loves his students. I can’t thank 

Dr. Burt enough for the blood, sweat, 

and tears he has poured into HLG. 

He gives excellence, and he requires 

excellence.” Taylor also announced 

that the student body at Hannibal- 

LaGrange will be planting a tree on 

campus in honor of Burt. 

The faculty, staff, and administration 

at HLG presented Burt and his 

wife, Katherine, with a monetary gift to 

be used for “a much needed vacation.” 

On Friday, September 9, the trustees of 

Hannibal-LaGrange College held a private 

reception in honor of Burt. The Honorable Rachel 

Bringer, representative for the state of Missouri, and the 

Honorable Roy Hark, Mayor of Hannibal, announced a resolution 

and proclamation, 

which was 

followed by a trustee 

presentation. At the 

presentation, the 

Board announced the 

renaming of HLG’s 

Administration building 

to the Woodrow 

W. Burt Administration 

Building. The 

Board also presented a portrait of Katherine Burt 

to be placed in the Burt Conference Room in the 

Roland Fine Arts Center.

HLG Begins New 

School Year 

HLG Named to America’s Best Christian 

Colleges & Best College Scholarships 

Campus News 

Cheers filled the air as students and parents 

drove onto Hannibal-LaGrange College’s 

campus on August 26th. In no time, yellowclad 

HLG students swarmed around the car, 

quickly and efficiently unloading televisions, 

laundry baskets and computers, all while 

excitedly welcoming their new classmates to 

their “home away from home.” 

Hannibal-LaGrange College welcomed 

students back as nearly 450 students moved 

on campus. This year HLG student leaders 

served as the “Swarm Squad” and helped 

new students move into their dorm rooms “in 

two minutes flat.” 

“We want to make a lasting first impression 

on our new students and their parents 

and these were the students who could make 

that happen,” said Tom Hufty, Vice President 

for Collegiate Affairs. More than 70 students 

made up this year’s squad, as they 

helped nearly 180 new students 

move in. 

Returning students were 

greeted with a number of changes 

on campus. Most notably was the 

redesign of the cafeteria, located 

in the Partee Center. The cafeteria 

now contains updated seating 

including booths and high tables, 

new carpet and tile, TV monitors, 

and an updated decor featuring 

school colors and highlighting student 

activities. Also gone are long 

lines and limited service hours, as 

the cafeteria now has unlimited 

access from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

Other changes at HLG include 

the hiring of Kyle Brennemann, 

HLG’s new Dean of Student Development. 

Brennemann has collegiate 

experience as former Dean 

of Men at Pensacola Christian 

College in Florida. 

This year, students also volunteered 

at local churches, businesses 

and organizations to clean, paint, do 

clerical work, and other tasks as part of the 

annual Hannibal’s Helping Hands program. 

Wednesday morning, Dr. Burt welcomed 

students back at the annual President’s 

‘To educate 

a man in mind 

and not in morals is to 

educate a manace to society’ 

campus visit days 2006 

Convocation, where he issued the challenge 

to the HLG family to “develop our students 

not only intellectually, but also physically, 

socially, and spiritually.” 

“Former President Theodore Roosevelt 

once said, ‘To educate a man in mind and not 

in morals is to educate a menace to society’... 

Our mission is to provide you with an education 

that will help you develop completelynothing 

left out,” concluded Burt. 

This year, nearly 1,100 students are 

enrolled at HLG with over 800 served on the 

Hannibal campus.

Hannibal-LaGrange College was named one of America’s Best 

Christian Colleges and Best College Scholarships by the 15th Annual 

National College Survey done by Institutional Research & Evaluation, 

Inc. HLG is one of only three higher education institutions in Missouri 

that was named as one of America’s Best Christian Colleges, and it is 

the only one named to both America’s Best Christian Colleges and Best 

College Scholarships. Over 1,400 colleges and universities nationwide 

were analyzed in consideration for these honors. 

HLG was named to America’s Best Christian Colleges on the basis 

of documented environment of Christian influence, the grade point average 

of incoming freshmen as well as the ACT/SAT scores of incoming 

freshmen. This is the third year in a row that Hannibal-LaGrange 

College has received this honor and scored well above the national 

average. 

HLG was named to America’s Best College Scholarships on the basis 

of offering merit scholarships that are available to incoming full-time 

freshmen, which are merit based only, not repayable in money or by 

performance, offering a merit scholarship that is equal to at least 50% 

of annual cost of attendance, not subject to residency requirement, 

offered indiscriminately to US citizens and administered through 

non-governmental monies. Only four colleges in the state of Missouri 

received this honor. 

Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc., is an independent research 

and consulting organization specializing in the recruiting and 

retention of students for institutions of higher education. Consistent 

with its mission, and as a guide by which other institutions may be 

compared, each year Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc. identifies 

the American colleges and universities providing students with 

the highest quality education. No college or university was paid to be 

included in this report. Institutions are included solely on the basis of 

merit. 

Opportunities for Experience 

HLG Strives to Enhance Learning Experience 

In 1989, Dr. Kenneth McNutt, an English 

professor at Hannibal-LaGrange College, 

worked diligently to create the Honors 

Program for HLG. This program which holds 

its members to a high standard of educational 

achievement, not only offers challenging 

courses of classic texts to ambitious students, 

but also provides its members a chance, with 

the benefit of scholarships, to spend a semester 

at Harlaxton College in England. 

The college, which sits neatly by the small 

town of Grantham, is housed in a nineteenthcentury 

manor that is rich in both history 

and architecture. Students from an array of 

American colleges and universities strive to 

meet the requirements to spend a semester 

studying abroad at Harlaxton. This year, 

HLG has a total of 35 students in its Honors 

Program and it anticipates a record-enrollment 

for Harlaxton College, according to the current 

interest among students. 

Since its beginning sixteen 

years ago, Dr. McNutt has been the 

Director of the Honors Program and 

he assumes this role with obvious 

enthusiasm. Honor students enjoy his 

vast knowledge of English history and 

literature, his generous laugh, and his 

passion for teaching. 

This past June, McNutt traveled 

to Harlaxton to confer with 

representatives from the other 

colleges and universities that 

cooperate with Harlaxton College by 

contributing both their students and staff. 

Each semester that a college or university 

sends a group of their students to study 

at Harlaxton, they also send one or more 

teachers to help staff the college and provide 

the students with a variety of courses. 

In 1993, Dr. McNutt escorted the first 

troupe from HLG to England and since then, 

he has been instrumental in deciding which 

teachers will be sent and what courses will 

be offered during the semester that Hannibal- 

LaGrange has its students at Harlaxton. 

During the three-day conference this past 

June, the Harlaxton staff and representatives 

from all the cooperating colleges and 

universities discussed curriculum regulations, 

campus security, medical needs, and other 

topics related to the international education at 

the college in the English countryside. They 

also determined the selection of American 

faculty members. 

Hannibal-LaGrange, which sends its 

honors students overseas to study every other 

year, chose Dr. Jane Schafer to be the HLG 

representative at Harlaxton for the fall 2006 

semester. She will be teaching the courses 

“Children’s and Young Adult Literature” and 

“Preschool and Beginning Reading Skills.” 

Her husband, Dr. John Schafer, who is also a 

professor at HLG, has received a sabbatical 

to study international business and will 

accompany his wife to England. 

“I am eagerly anticipating the ‘Harlaxton 

experience,’” says Dr. Jane Schafer. “I will have 

the opportunity to live in the Harlaxton ‘castle’ 

(cooking and cleaning included!), teach 

courses I love, travel extensively, and learn 

about other people, cultures and educational 

systems. My increased understanding of our 

global society and educational practices can 

then be shared in the HLG courses I teach.” 

The Honors Program is open to all 

students who received a minimum 

composite ACT score of 27. Members must 

complete a total of 24 hours of honors 

classes while maintaining a standard GPA 

of 3.0 each semester and a cumulative GPA 

of 3.25 during the junior and senior years.

Program, contact Dr. Kenneth McNutt at

There is no doubt that missions is important 

to Hannibal-LaGrange College. HLG President 

Woodrow Burt has said on numerous occasions that 

it is his hope that Hannibal-LaGrange College will 

be known as the “center of recruitment and training 

for students called to missions” in the Midwest. In 

August, HLG took one more step towards that goal 

by creating the position of Director of Missions, 

which has been filled by Marc Neddo, who brings to 

the position a wealth of knowledge and experience. 

Neddo was born and raised on the mission field 

in France. His parents served as missionaries for 37 

years, doing church planting, youth work, teaching, 

and leadership development. 

“Growing up as a ‘missionary kid’ you do not ‘do 

missions’—you live missions.” 

When Neddo came to the states for college, he was 

not planning on going into missions as a career, though 

he says he was open to the possibility. Neddo quickly 

realized that ‘man makes his plans but the Lord directs 

his steps.’ (Proverbs 16:9) 

“Missions is not manufactured; it is either a part 

of your living or it is not,” explained Neddo. In 

college, his missions work took the form of mentoring 

a disadvantaged eight-year-old who had survived the 

foster care system. After completing college, Neddo 

went on a mission trip to Russia, using soccer as a 

platform to share the gospel. 

“With the recent freedom in Russia, the spiritual 

vacuum was evident, and many Russians were 

inquisitive, if not thirsty,” said Neddo. “The most 

searing memory from that trip is not our public 

witnessing, but the way some Russians seemed to 

devour the word of God in their language, as if it was 

going straight to the empty space in their spirit.” 

Since 1998, Neddo has been traveling back to 

France to minister to the nation where he grew up. He 

works at a camp that his parents helped establish in 

the French Alps. He says that through the camp they 

not only minister to people who would never “darken 

a church door” but they also “are a tool to develop 

and disciple French Christians through leadership 

development, retreats, and specialized camps.” 

“Working at the camp these past eight years I 

have dealt with many Americans joining us for shortterm 

mission work. I help them make some cultural 

adjustments and steer them away from ‘American 

evangelism techniques’ that the French tend to find 

manipulative and offensive.” 

At HLG, Neddo will use his practical experience 

to demonstrate to students how to minister effectively 

in other cultures. He is also exploring avenues 

to strengthen and enlarge the missions program. 

However, he is quick to note that he doesn’t have a 

personal “agenda.” 

“I believe one of the most common mistakes new 

managers make when they come into a new position 

is to change things for the sake of change or for the 

sake of doing it “their way” without taking the time to 

examine what is truly working and getting a good grasp 

of what the organizational dynamics are.” 

This doesn’t mean that Neddo doesn’t have shortterm 

plans. He says that “I have noticed and examined 

the student leaders who are already doing ministry and 

it is excellent…we have the opportunity to provide 

more leadership and consistency to our mission trips, 

and to our missions focus and development.” 

Neddo firmly believes that missions can be lifechanging 

for college students “because they learn that 

there is a world outside HLG, or outside the USA, that 

does not fit into their current understanding of the 

world.” 

As much as Neddo has been a blessing to HLG’s 

missions department, he says that the student 

missionaries have far exceeded his expectations. 

“They are not simply good, they are excellent…they 

are being missionaries, rather than doing missions. 

They know why they are ministering—that it’s not 

about numbers, not about them, but about God and 

individuals.”

A Long Way From Home . . . 

n the Philippines, it is 

common practice for 

visitors to take the time 

to wipe off their chairs before 

sitting down and their plates 

before eating off of them. Are 

they insulting the host No, 

they’re simply creating a “warm 

atmosphere.” 

In some tribes of Zimbabwe, 

Bienvenida 

it is a sign of friendship to 

walk with your guest part of 

his or her way home. How 

far you walk together is a sign 

of how deep the friendship 

is. Therefore, the common 

American practice of just 

walking your guest to the door 

can be seen as an insult. 

While talking with a friend from Africa, you ask him if he thinks 

your dress makes you look fat. Instead of being “polite” he tells 

you that it’s not the dress, but the fact that you are fat. You’re deeply 

insulted because you don’t realize that in your friend’s culture, he 

paid you a compliment because he sees you as healthy and well 

cared for. 

For international students, these scenarios are only the 

beginning. In addition to cultural differences, they have to deal with 

being far from their family, learning a new language and tackling the 

Dobrodoshli 

tough job of being a college student in another country. 

Hannibal-LaGrange College currently has 28 international 

students from 18 countries, including Scotland, Belarus, Australia, 

Norway, Rwanda and Spain. They represent six continents, eight 

languages, and countless cultural and social traditions. 

From the moment international students get off the airplane, 

they must deal with culture shock. Most international students 

listed language and the weather as the biggest differences; although 

I 

there’s nothing sadder than seeing a South American student 

braving his first Missouri winter, there are many other subtle cultural 

differences that these students must deal with. 

Sebastian Gonzalez came to Hannibal-LaGrange from 

Argentina, and after graduating in May 2005, he began working in 

the computer services department at HLG. As someone who has 

“survived” as an international student, Gonzalez had a lot of insight 

into the dilemmas that are faced and how they can be overcome. 

“Some of the students may face a cultural shock [when they 

come to HLG] because the differences in the current and past 

environment are so big that the student faces problems adapting to a 

new environment,” said Gonzalez. “Different factors can add to this 

situation: differences in language, religion, and culture. Also, there 

are minor differences that hardly ever become a problem, such as 

changes in the food and weather.” 

Many students can deal with 

America’s obsession with fast 

food and material things, but they 

have a hard time understanding 

interpersonal relationships in the 

states. 

“There are a lot of things that 

are different,” said Sy Kim, a 

senior from South Korea. “Most 

of all, I would say that we use 

different tones and language 

when we speak to our elders. I 

had a hard time calling people 

who are older than me by their 

first name because it would be 

impossible back home.” 

In addition to cultural 

differences, there are also 

educational differences that international students must face. 

Alla Shtyk, a Computer Information Systems major, noted many 

academic differences between her home country of Belarus and the 

United States. 

“In Belarus, 

one has to 

complete their 

education 

once they’ve 

started it,” said 

Alla. “The 

only thing is 

that one can 

take only 

one year off 

school (for 

example, to work to pay for school.) Also, in Belarus students have 

to take courses in a certain schedule assigned by the department 

each semester, while in the US students are able to pick their own 

courses. I like it that way better!”

One of the major issues 

international students must 

deal with is being not only 

miles, but time zones away 

from their loved ones. 

Every international student 

interviewed for this article 

expressed that the thing they 

missed the most about their 

home country was not the 

food or culture, but their 

family and friends. “People 

from other cultures, including 

most Latin American 

countries, have very strong 

family ties and we are not used to moving when we go to college,” 

said Gonzalez. “Getting homesick and missing friends is something 

very common among international students, most during their first 

and second semester.” 

Caitlin Marie Symons, a soccer player from Scotland, was 

working on the mission field when she met HLG’s women’s soccer 

coach, Jason Nichols. Though Caitlin says she’s excited about being 

at Hannibal, she still struggles daily with missing her home. “Even 

though [HLG] is a home away from home, no place will ever be 

home. I struggle most with my friendships. I miss my friends, my 

church and my family. It’s not that people here aren’t friendly, 

because they are. It’s just that it’s easy back home because my 

friendships have so much 

depth because of the history 

and experiences we share. 

I find it hard to get real 

deep with my friends here, 

probably partly because I 

know I will be leaving in a 

few years.” 

Purintaxa 

So what can we do 

to 

make the transition easier 

Drs. John and Jane Schafer, 

both professors at Hannibal- 

LaGrange College, have 

taken a personal interest 

in HLG’s international 

student population. 

When teaching overseas in Europe, John said he saw first-hand 

the impact of “adopting” international students. “In Europe, the 

American students were adopted by families, and were invited 

into their homes for holidays. I realized that this support system 

was incredible, and we needed to do something like that at HLG.” 

The Schafers don’t only encourage families to invite international 

students into their homes—they lead by example by offering their 

Fàilte 

own home as a haven. 

“When we have these students over, it’s a bonus for us,” said 

Urakaza 

John. “They are happy, they enjoy one another, and they have 

good, clean fun. It’s amazing to me that even with homesickness 

and language barriers, these students are so happy. They are truly 

ladies and gentlemen.” 

The Schafers efforts don’t go unnoticed. Sebastian Gonzalez 

noted that “Dr. Schafer helped me so much while I was a student 

and he continues to help international students in their adjusting 

process. It is so much easier to go through the cultural differences 

when you have someone to help you in the process and when you 

feel that the university really cares for your special needs.” 

Even if you can’t have international students in your home, 

there are still plenty of opportunities to make them feel more at 

home. The students interviewed expressed the desire for Americans 

to be open-minded about other cultures. There were also a few 

“practical” skills that international students wanted to learn from 

their American friends. 

“I would really like someone to teach me how to cook 

popcorn, as all my attempts to do it are in the trash can!” said one 

international student with a laugh. 

David Erskine works with international students daily as HLG’s 

Bem-vindo 

men’s soccer coach. He added that it’s important that we encourage 

international students to 

not “isolate themselves. 

Obviously it’s very easy to 

associate with and gravitate 

towards those who speak 

the same language and 

come from the same 

cultural background. It is 

not always so easy to reach 

outside of that group.” 

Hannibal-LaGrange 

College has been richly 

blessed and enhanced by 

each international student 

who have made HLG their 

home over the years. Not 

only have they opened our 

eyes to other cultures and 

traditions, but they have 

also taught us not to take our country for granted. 

“An international student once told me that we have no idea 

how fortunate we are to have been born in America,” said Jane 

Schafer. “I hope that our traditional students will take the time to 

learn about what some of our international students have faced in 

their home countries.” 

SHANE & SHANE SHARE ABOUT 

MUSIC, THE GOSPEL, AND SLOWING DOWN 

& Shane 

in concert 

Shane 

It’s 9 a.m. and Shane Everett, half of the Christian duo 

Shane & Shane, is tired. His gravelly voice betrays the 

fact that he spent the night on a bus traveling from Texas 

to Tennessee. But he has retained his sense of humor. 

“My favorite part about what we do is definitely driving 

all night,” he says with a chuckle. “Seriously though, I 

do love getting to see different places and meet people 

across the country.” 

It’s a good thing, too. 

Each month Shane & 

Shane play in packed out 

arenas, intimate sanctuaries, 

and noisy college 

theatres. No matter the 

venue, though, the message 

remains the same. 

“Our goal is to proclaim 

the Gospel,” said Everett. 

“Sometimes I think I enjoy 

talking about the songs 

more than singing them!” 

But sing them he does. 

Everett and Shane Barnard 

began as independent artists 

and quickly grew into 

one of the fastest selling 

Christian artists in history. 

Previous projects, including 

2003’s Carry Away 

and 2004’s Upstairs, were 

met with Top 10 sales 

debuts. The duo, known 

for their dueling acoustic guitars and tight harmonies, 

experienced radio success with the impassioned “Be 

Near,” and “Mercy Reigns,” and their newest album, 

Clean, released in March, has been met with critical 

acclaim. 

The journey for Shane & Shane began in Texas, 

where Barnard and Everett grew up “across the lake” 

from each other but didn’t get to know each other until 

college. Barnard emerged onto the music scene during 

his senior year of college at Texas A & M. He has since 

recorded three independent projects, and was tapped 

for a track on The Awakening Compilation, Vol. 2, a 

critically lauded Awakening Records’ various artists 

independent project from 1998. 

While Barnard is the self-proclaimed dreamer, his 

colleague Shane Everett is the “streetwise musician.” 

Everett studied agricultural business at Texas A & M 

and made music on the side, first in a local pop cover 

band, then crafting his own Christian music, including 

three independent records. The two discovered each 

other when Barnard had to borrow Everett’s guitar for 

a show, and they became fast friends, deciding to join 

forces to become what we know as Shane & Shane. 

Since the beginning, Shane & Shane’s raw lyrics, often 

drawn directly from scripture, have connected with 

college students. Everett attributes that simply to the 

fact that “we are communicating the word of God, and 

I think a lot of times people are drawn to the Word. It’s 

something more than just music, you know I’d like 

to think that it’s the Lord doing something special in 

people hearts, and not what we’re doing.” 

Whatever it is, it seems to be working. Working so 

well, in fact, that Everett says they are constantly asked 

“how can we do what you’re doing” 

“My advice to them is to just 

seek the Lord,” said Everett. “I 

don’t mean don’t work hard, 

because you do need to hone your 

craft and work at it, but it’s more 

important to spend time with the 

Lord than it is to run scales or write 

songs. If we’re going hard after 

what He wants, then He’s going to 

direct us to it. I know that sounds 

like a churchy answer, but I believe 

it. Life on the road is a hard life... 

it’s no picnic. You’ve got to be 

grounded in the Lord.” 

Everett says that part of that 

grounding for Shane & Shane has 

come from their home church, The 

Village Church, and specifically 

from their pastor, who remains active 

in their ministry. 

“Our pastor is super involved in 

what we do. We stay connected 

with home via phone when we’re 

out on tour, and we’ve got a great 

team of supporters.” 

Even group support doesn’t lessen the hectic life on 

the road. Everett says it’s a constant struggle to just 

slow down and enjoy the life he has been created for. 

“Shane [Barnard] just wrote a song that’s based on 

Psalm 90, where it talks about numbering our days, 

and how life is so fleeting,”said Everett. “I want that 

mindset to really enjoy life in the Lord. I don’t want to 

waste a day satisfied with what the world says is success 

or what the world says is joy. I want to rest in the 

Lord, in friends, in family, and in life.” 

Shane & Shane were in concert at Hannibal-La- 

Grange College on Wednesday, August 31 as part of 

HLG’s Welcome Week activities.

Knowledge for Service 

Delivering the Devastated 

Knowledge for Service 

HLG STUDENTS SPEND FALL 

BREAK IN NEW ORLEANS 

Although the images of the destruction from Hurricane 

Katrina are slowly fading from the nation’s 

television screens, 11 students from Hannibal-La- 

Grange College have a renewed visual of the devastation. 

Since the first reports of the catastrophic 

storm, HLG has been making plans to send a team 

to New Orleans to assist with clean-up and disaster 

relief. Over Fall Break, they were finally able to put 

those plans into action. 

“My initial reaction to the hurricane was that was 

just another storm that had hit the coast,” said Justin 

Martin, an elementary education major from Boonville, 

MO. “At first, I didn’t realize the impact that 

this storm was having. The news began to spread 

and I eventually began to realize the detrimental 

impact. My heart began to break with what I saw. I 

made the decision that I would try my hardest to go 

if there was a mission team going down there.” 

Marc Neddo, HLG’s director of missions, said 

that the team’s job was to “serve as slaves and show 

God’s love and grace in simple practical ways.” The 

team was assigned to work in the supply distribution 

tent where upwards of 1,000 cars filed by each day 

to receive basic supplies. Work began at 8:30 each 

morning and lasted until 7 p.m. 

“It was taxing work in many ways,” said Neddo. 

“But the students never let up, serving relentlessly, 

turning down break times, and jumping at the opportunity 

to do extra.” 

HLG students spent the bulk of their time passing 

out items and serving as greeters outside the lot. 

Whitney Walters, from Pana, IL, said she was able to 

spend several hours a day “simply talking to people 

and praying for them and sympathizing with them...” 

“Being a people person, it was such a blessing to 

be able to spend most of my day talking and sharing 

with people,” said Walters. “To see the smiling faces 

through the broken spirits was a pretty awesome sight 

to see.” 

Dana Whitt, a special education major from Trenton, 

MO, said that even though the team arrived two 

months after the hurricane, there was still plenty of 

work to be done. “Trees were still down, power lines 

were still destroyed...We went inside a church where 

the pews were strewn all over the sanctuary and a piano 

was upside down on the stage,” remembers Whitt. 

“The flood line was higher than twice my height. I 

guess I never thought about that kind of aftermath 

before. I couldn’t help but wonder how the people of 

that city could possibly have any hope for the future. 

However, I am thankful that God is hope when we are 

hopeless.” 

Neddo concluded that “we were but worthy slaves 

simply doing what we ought to do, sharing the grace 

and love of God in unpretentious, practical ways. Jesus 

meant it when he said: ‘In as much as you have done it 

unto the least of these, you have done unto me.’ (Matthew 

25:40)”

President’s Report 

2005 President’s Report 

The 2004-2005 academic year was right on pace with the previous record enrollment year. We continue to find creative and 

resourceful ways to accommodate students and staff. With the expansion of the business offices, the Innovative Program offices 

moved to the Hut and Mary Lou Green Center located adjacent to the main campus. This move has proven beneficial to the 

growth of the ADVANCE (Adult Continuing Education) program. 

Along with the restructuring of office space, the remodeling project on the cafeteria in the Partee Center was completed in the 

summer of 2005. The students were welcomed back to campus with a new look and a new extended meal service. Other 

projects including roofing, replacement windows, and general repair were completed on residential housing units. 

Hannibal-LaGrange College depends on the generous gifts of its supporters to fund not only our growing capital and endowment 

needs, but also a portion of our daily operations budget. 

The leadership of Hannibal-LaGrange College continues to take careful steps to assure that all funds are used wisely in order to 

provide the best possible education for HLG students. The Hannibal-LaGrange College community expresses their thanks to all 

the wonderful friends of the college as they continue to share financially to support the work and vision of this fine institution.

STRATEGIC PLANNING 

The Strategic Planning Team of Hannibal-LaGrange College was 

established to identify and recommend the implementation of goals 

supportive of the mission and vision statements of the college. 

The Strategic Planning Team has been involved in many 

important areas again this year, including support for the successful 

accreditation visit in the spring of 2005. The Strategic Planning 

process was very much a part of this visit and team members were 

interviewed by the accreditation team, providing information 

important to the overall success of the college in this evaluation. 

The Strategic Planning Team also continues to support progress 

toward the goal of having 600 resident students by 2009, 

improvement of campus facilities, access for students to technology 

to enhance their educational experience, and efforts to increase 

overall academic excellence of the college. 

The strategic planning process is vitally important to the success 

of the college. The Strategic Planning Team will continue to make 

every effort to provide appropriate, effective guidance in support of 

the ideals, values and goals of Hannibal-LaGrange College.

Annual Report

Institutional Advancement 

Returns 

on Our Investments 

by Connie Benson ‘94 • Vice President for Institutional Advancement 


One of the newest residents in Pulliam Hall is an old 

friend who found a home at LaGrange College before it 

merged with Hannibal College in 1928. Its ivory keys hold 

a tale of HLG’s history, passed down from generation to 

generation in the Crouch family. Not only does the female 

dormitory now have a lovely instrument that is known for 

its excellence, but it also has a piece of the college’s history 

adorning its lobby as a perfect antique accent to the old 

brick building that so many girls have grown to love. 

In early 2005, Gary Crouch of Denver, Colorado who 

had recently retired decided to evaluate his personal 

belongings “with the goal of downsizing” and as he 

assessed his old family treasures, he came across a Steinway 

square grand piano. Its keys were a little out of tune but the 

piano itself was still in amazing condition for its age. 

The old instrument, which has survived nearly a century, 

was willed to him by his great Aunt Ruth upon her death in 

LaGrange, MO in 1967 and traveled from its native Missouri 

out to Colorado. His aunt, Mrs. Ruth (Crouch) Loudermilk, 

happened to be the daughter of Charles Crouch, the former 

city mayor of LaGrange and she had inherited the Steinway 

from her mother, Susan (Hagood) Crouch, who was Charles’s 

wife. Susan had been given the piano when she was around 

fifteen-years old and since then, it continued to be passed 

down within the family. 

After discovering the piano and old documents that 

connected his family with HLG, Gary Crouch decided to 

generously donate his piano to the college. The historical 

link of this Steinway goes back to the time when LaGrange 

College was located in its original home, LaGrange, MO, 

and John Crouch, the brother of Charles Crouch, was the 

president of the college. 

Under the leadership of John Crouch, LaGrange College 

moved to Hannibal and was re-named Hannibal-LaGrange 

College, a four-year Christian liberal arts college that sits on 

the outskirts of Hannibal, Missouri. 

Due to Gary Crouch’s generosity, the piano that belonged 

to a family so important in the history of HLG is now 

available on campus for students to enjoy. In late October of 

2005, Gary Crouch and his brother, Paul, were able to visit 

the college and see their family’s old piano situated in its new 

home where it can continue to be a part of HLG history.

“What you do with 

your resources in this life 

is your autobiography.” 

-Randy Alcorn 

Portfolio, investments, Dow Jones, stocks, 

mutual funds, life insurance. Are these words 

part of your daily vocabulary Today our 

culture is focused on growing our retirement 

fund and getting big investments on our money, 

which is great, but do we always give the credit 

for our financial blessings to God, or do we 

pat ourselves on the back and say what great 

financial investors we are When our portfolios 

begin to make some progress and we see the numbers grow, do we have a tendency to increase our budget 

so we can spend more, or do we step back and say, “We can give more.” I have found over the years that you 

can’t out give God. 

With each phase of life, our financial picture changes. Whether married or not, with age we have various 

needs for each stage of life. As I visit with individuals weekly, I enjoy hearing the encouraging stories of why 

and how individuals want to give to the college. As you read through this edition, you will see the list of our 

donors who give now and the donors who have remembered HLG in their estates. The donors listed in the 

Steeple Society have included us in their estate plans through various gifting 

tools, one of which is life insurance. 

A life insurance policy is an excellent way of giving and leaving a 

legacy. Life insurance policies are a vital part of estate planning to help 

provide for the family at the time of death. Providing for your family 

should be a priority in your estate planning. It is also a wonderful 

way of leaving dollars with a small initial investment, especially if you 

purchase a life insurance policy when you are young and in good 

health. As the years go by and circumstances change, you may not 

have the same need for all or parts of your coverage. Consider naming 

Hannibal-LaGrange College the beneficiary of a percentage of your policy. 

What a wonderful way to leave a legacy. 

I want to thank our donors for sharing your portfolios with 

Hannibal-LaGrange College. Generous and joyful givers, good 

stewards, and a blessing to all, are words to describe you. 

We thank you for investing your portfolios in the lives of our 

students and in God’s kingdom.

Homecoming, 2005 is history and I am already meeting 

and planning for next year. We had great weather, a lot of fun, 

and HLG won both basketball games! I hope that I can count 

on you to be here next year! Just a reminder--homecoming 

will be November 3-4, 2006. 

Here are some things you’ll want to be watching for in 

the near future. The first thing on the agenda for 2006 is a 

planning meeting in January with an alumna who wants to give 

back to HLG by helping with our Fun Run at Homecoming. 

Being a marathon runner herself, she wants to put our 5k 

event on the map for fellow enthusiasts. We want to make 

this a family event for alumni, so be sure and watch for more 

information about the event in your 

Reflections magazine, and on 

the college website. 

Plans are underway for an 

Alumni Phonathon during 

the month of February. 

Several alumni will receive 

a telephone call from an 

HLG student who will share 

some of the accomplishments, 

aspirations, and needs of the 

college. Please take some 

time with the caller to share 

your advice and stories of campus, 

along with a generous pledge 

for Hannibal-LaGrange 

College’s Alumni 

Scholarship Fund. 

Through the Reflections 

articles the last few 

months, several alumni 

have shared with 

us how HLG has 

influenced their lives. I 

am sure that many of you have a similar experience to share. 

If these articles have sparked a memory, or a feeling of 

gratitude toward HLG, why not think about helping a new 

generation of students enjoy the great experiences and the 

benefits like you and I had of an excellent education at HLG. 

Phonathon calls will be made during evening hours between 

February 2 and 28. Get connected! 

Another exciting change affecting alumni is that we will 

be putting into place the opportunity for alumni to receive 

a quarterly college e-mail newsletter. Since Reflections 

magazine is only printed two times a year, the email newsletter 

will help us keep better connected and updated. We will be 

able to let you know about sports events in your area, choir 

tours, job placement opportunities, and opportunity to share 

prayer requests and needs. Keeping in touch via email will 

be very beneficial to the alumni office. So, get ready to send 

me your e-mail address! More information will be posted on 

www.hlg.edu. 

We have made a decision regarding printing addresses in 

our Alumni News. Due to the dangerous social climate we are 

living in, if you would prefer not to have your address listed, 

please indicate when you send your update. Thank you for 

your attention to this matter. 

I want to take this opportunity to encourage you and tell 

you how proud I am of all our HLG alumni! I read about you, 

and hear about you from others when I am “out and about.” 

At homecoming we acknowledged three outstanding HLG 

alumni who have made their mark in their profession, their 

church, and their communities. They give us a glimpse of how 

HLG has impacted lives and how those lives are changing 

our world. Congratulations to these deserving recipients! Be 

thinking of someone you’d like to nominate for 2006. May 

God richly bless you and your family in 2006, and I will look 

forward to hearing from you.

Booster Banquet 

Mending 

Wings 

Alumni Profile 

Wally Magdangal doesn’t look like a 

representative for the persecuted church. His 

clothes are impeccable, his smile is quick and his 

laugh is contagious. But his story is one of fear, 

torture, pain and, ultimately, hope. 

Magdangal, who spoke at this year’s Booster 

Banquet at Hannibal-LaGrange College, began 

his ministry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in the 

early 1980s. By 1992 Magdangal and his wife, 

Matilda, were leading the largest underground 

church in Saudi Arabia, with 300-500 people 

in attendance each week, often under the cover 

of darkness in desert caves. Because of the 

Muslim stronghold and religious persecution in 

the country, Magdangal was named one of the 

most wanted men by the Saudi government, and 

in October 1992 he was arrested for the crime 

of blasphemy. He was sentenced to death by 

public hanging; the date for his execution was 

December 25th. 

“On the night of my abduction, my captors 

took my possessions, they tore me from the arms 

of my wife and daughter and they destroyed my 

hope,” recalled Magdangal. “I woke up to a 

nightmare.” 

Magdangal’s nightmare would last for nearly 

three months, during which he was beaten, 

mocked, shamed and asked to renounce his faith. 

However, his faith was the one thing that never 

wavered. 

“In times of crisis and persecution I learned 

that a Christian is forced to unceasing prayer, 

and at the same time on equal note, unhindered 

praise and worship,” explained Magdangal. 

“[When asked] to renounce my faith, my only 

response was: how can I give up on my Savior, 

He who died for someone like me.” 

One particular time of persecution involved 

beatings that lasted nearly three hours straight. 

But instead of feeling anger towards his 

persecutors, Magdangal said he felt only pity. 

“My torturers were delighted in flogging 

me...and thrilled to beat me up from the top of 

my head to the soles of my feet,” he recalled. “I 

watched the horrific effects of religious fanaticism 

“In times of crisis and persecution, I learned that 

a Christian is forced to unceasing prayer.” 

in front of me...and amazingly my 

heart broke for my torturers and I 

shed tears on their behalf, feeling 

sorry that these people had been 

in bondage and had been led to 

believe a lie... It is the grace of 

God that would enable a person 

like me to be able to look at them 

from a different perspective and 

feel nothing but pity and grief on 

their behalf.” 

Magdangal was released on 

December 24, just one day before 

he was to be executed. He and 

his family were forced to leave the 

country, and they now reside in 

California where Magdangal serves 

as the founder and president of 

Christians in Crisis, a ministry that 

seeks to challenge and encourage 

the church to focus on the plight 

of the persecuted Christians of our 

world. 

“We need to reach the world 

with the Gospel message so the 

world will know. So the world 

will know that there are Christians 

under persecution. The world will 

know that there are persecutors 

blinded and oppressed by religion 

and oppressive governments. The 

world may know that beyond all 

this knowledge there is a God who 

so loved the world that He gave his 

only begotten son that whosoever 

believes shall not perish but have 

everlasting life. The world will 

know there are Christians that are 

willing to pay the price, that we 

will live for the Christ who died for 

us. So the world will know there is 

a Christian college like Hannibal- 

LaGrange that can stand out in the 

midst of a crooked generation...” 

Edward 

Marquette is 

the picture of 

success. He is 

a partner in the 

Kansas City office 

of Sonnenschein 

Nath & Rosenthal 

LLP, a national law 

firm with over 700 

lawyers in nine 

cities. For the past 

decade, Marquette 

has been listed 

annually in “The 

Best Lawyers 

in America” 

for intellectual property. As a student at the University of 

Missouri he was a member of not one, but two honorary 

fraternities, and he went on to receive his Juris Doctorate 

Cum Laude from Harvard Law School. 

But 36 years ago, a devastating hunting accident left 

Marquette, then a senior in high school, lost, confused—and 

blind. The accident rattled his beliefs, offset his education 

plans, and led him to Hannibal-LaGrange College. 

“I came to Hannibal-LaGrange straight out of a 

rehabilitation center,” remembers Marquette. 

“Slightly more than a year earlier, 

at age 17, I was in a hunting 

accident that took my 

sight. Prior to the accident, 

I had planned to enroll at 

the University of Missouri in 

Rolla and pursue a degree in Nuclear 

Physics.” 

Marquette grew up in Shelby County, Missouri, and was 

always aware of HLG. After his accident, he enrolled in a 

rehabilitation program in Topeka, Kansas. While there, he 

learned that he qualified for the college preparatory program. 

Being close to home, HLG seemed like a safe choice to 

Marquette. 

When Marquette started school at HLG, he says the one 

“[Hannibal-LaGrange] was a place where 

everyone genuinely wanted you to succeed, 

it was a leadership incubator.” 

thing he was lacking was self-confidence. 

“I had done relatively well in high school, but I never 

bothered to study. I was far too busy having fun and doing 

sports. When I lost my sight December of my senior year, I 

lost my confidence along with it. When I came to HLG my 

cocky self-confidence had been shattered.” 

Marquette had become a Christian while in rehabilitation, 

so he came to HLG, not only as a scared young man reeling 

from incredible life changes, but also as a new Christian, 

struggling to understand the new faith he clung to. 

“Hannibal-LaGrange was a safe place for me to try my 

bruised and mending wings. It was a place where everyone 

genuinely wanted you to succeed; it was a leadership 

incubator.” 

Marquette slowly began to regain his confidence, and 

he eventually became Hannibal-LaGrange College student 

body president. He fondly remembers student body elections 

when Dan Murphy, a close friend, introduced him to the 

student body. 

“Dan could not do things in any kind of conventional 

way,” said Marquette. “Late for his turn at introductions, Dan 

made a dramatic entry, not dressed in any traditional way, 

but as the Jonathan Winters character, Maude Fricker. My 

‘introduction’ was, in reality, a comedy routine. Had Dean 

Kepley known what Dan had planned, I’m sure he would 

have discouraged the caper, but as it was, all he could do was 

laugh with everyone else. Believe me, that was 

a hard act to follow!” 

Marquette went on to 

graduate from HLG in 1971 

with a 4.0, and he served as 

Valedictorian of his graduating 

class. From there, he received a 

BA in Economics from the University 

of Missouri at Columbia and his law degree from Harvard. 

Though his adventures have taken him far from his humble 

beginnings, he still fondly remembers his days at HLG. 

“My experiences at Hannibal-LaGrange College gave me 

the confidence I needed to use the leadership gifts God had 

given me. I have myriad fond memories of Hannibal. There 

will always be a warm and tender spot in my heart for good 

old HLG.”

times been drawn on in my business life.” 

Debbie Groves Dunn

Patricia Price Condra was recognized with the Outstanding Service 

Award. This award is presented to an HLG alumnus who has

In response to receiving her award, Condra stated that “The 

teaching staff at HLG imparted knowledge, and also demonstrated 

their absolute need to give encouragement to students who were 

on unfamiliar ground. I have modeled my teaching style to include 

encouragement as an integral part of my personal ministry to 

students.” 

Jim O’Donnell, a resident of Hannibal, MO, was the recipient

The Arts 

Visual Art 

In 2005 the Art Department hosted a number of talented artists 

in the Hagerman Art Gallery. In September, work was presented 

by HLG’s art faculty, including work by Robin Stone, head of 

the art department, Carol Burns, adjunct art instructor and Don 

Stevenson, HLG’s newest art professor. 

In October, Hannibal-LaGrange College hosted a special art 

exhibit highlighting the work of Len Moss. Moss’ exhibit featured 

his original paintings that present scenes from both his personal 

trips and his travels with the Navy. Throughout his life, Moss 

worked as a draftsman, a commercial artist, a crewman aboard a 

fishing schooner, and an officer and naval aviator in the U.S. Navy. 

He is a veteran of WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. 

Moss and his wife, Norma, were avid travelers, and he was always 

careful to take his sketchbook and camera along to capture the 

images and details he would need later for his paintings. After he 

retired, Moss moved back to Missouri to his wife’s hometown of 

Hannibal. He built a house with his brother-in-law where he now 

lives while working on his art. His home is an exhibit of both his 

Heather own art and and the art Kevin of others. McSmith 

dressed as Biblegirl and Sinister 

November’s guest artists were Anne Campfield and Carol 

Nichols. The show featured watercolors by Quincy artist 

Campfield. Born and educated in Paris, Campfield is a 

professional artist versatile in many media. She is recognized for 

her renditions of historical buildings, businesses and private homes 

in the tri-state area and Arizona. Campfield has exhibited in many 

national juried shows and has won many awards locally and 

nationally. 

Nichols, also of Quincy, is an associate faculty of John Wood 

On December 1-3, HLG’s Parker Theatre was overtaken by big 

bands and crooners as the Hannibal-LaGrange College theatre and 

music departments presented “The 1940’s Radio Hour,” a musical 

by Walton Jones. 

The “1940’s Radio Hour” portrays 

the final Christmas broadcast of 

the Mutual Manhattan Variety 

Cavalcade on New York radio 

station WOV in 1942. The 

musical captures the spirit 

of a nation struggling to 

maintain its traditions in a 

time of war, complete with 

performances from that 

era, including “That Old 

Black Magic,” “Boogie 

Woogie Bugle Boy from 

Company B” and a 

variety of Christmas 

classics. 

Community College. She has 

studied watercolor since 1981, 

and her artwork incorporates 

watercolor compositions with 

calligraphy work. She enhances 

a poem or quote with watercolor 

design to create an interpretive 

piece of art. 

In December, HLG’s art 

department hosted an exhibit by 

Ewing, Missouri native Kimberly 

Shinn. Shinn uses primarily 

acrylics, and describes her style 

as “mainly realistic...I paint 

from photographs that I have taken myself and I like a lot of looser 

styles...” Shinn began painting 14 years ago, but took a break after 

starting a family. In 2000 she decided to give it another try, and 

has been at it for the past five years. 

In January, HLG hosted guest artists Willy Richmond and 

Georgia Degitz in the Hagerman Gallery in the Roland Fine 

Arts Center. Richmond is the owner and creative force behind 

Richmond Photography. His works include nature scenes in and 

around Hannibal, as well as photos from Richmond’s travels. 

Degitz, a self taught photographer, has won several awards for 

her work. Her photos consist mainly of nature scenes. Both 

Richmond and Degitz both have work on display at the Alliance 

Gallery on Main Street in Hannibal and at 

www.hannibalfineart.com. 

Music Theatre 

“I remember quite fondly how it was to sit listening to the 

music and stories coming out of our old battery powered radio as 

a boy,” said Jerry Thomason, Professor of Theatre at HLG. “In those 

days it was only in my imagination that I could put pictures with 

those sounds. Little did I know that the voices were coming from 

a small room somewhere, with only a few individuals doing all the 

characters and a prop person making all the sounds.” 

Theatre allows all of us to experience the world of midtwentieth 

century radio in these United States of America during its 

golden era,” concluded Thomason. 

The cast of “The 1940’s Radio Hour” included: Krista Tettaton, 

Angie Lee, Leslie Beauchamp, Amanda Mae Dobson, Ben Dixon, 

Jordan Feeler, Sean Freeman, Chris Sheldon, Russell Minnick, 

Cameron Beckerdite, Matt Castor, Scott Boltinghouse, Bryan 

Colbert, and Dave Corkern. Jerry Thomason will serve as Director, 

Jane Griffen as Musical Director, and McKinzie Gray as Assistant 

to the Director. In addition, the Jazz Band provided the show’s 

music. 

HLG’s spring production is scheduled for March 23-25. For 

more information on the theatre department at Hannibal-LaGrange 

College, contact Thomason at 573-221-3675, ext. 290.

IT’S WHY WE’RE HERE 

Sports 

At Hannibal-LaGrange College, athletics isn’t 

just about winning games and breaking records— 

it’s also about recruiting and molding athletes into 

men and women of character. 

“One of our coaching philosophies in the 

athletic department is ‘Coaching is what you 

do, but it’s not why you are here’,” said Dr. Tom 

Hufty, Vice President for Collegiate Affairs and 

administrator for the athletic department at HLG. 

“Each coach has a responsibility to pour 

themselves into the lives of students that God 

gives them. Not only teaching them how to be 

successful on the field and on the court, but how 

to be a success in life,” said Hufty. “Because of 

this mandate, we look for opportunities to involve 

our teams in service projects and mission trips.” 

Each sports team at HLG participates in 

community service projects throughout the year. 

In the summer, student athletes assist coaches 

with youth camps for the Hannibal community. 

In the summer of 2005, hundreds of children and 

youth were on campus learning basic sports skills 

and being mentored by HLG students. 

During the school year sporting teams 

take time from practice and games to assist 

with YMCA camps and to provide one-onone 

attention to special needs groups such as 

Mississippi Valley State School, a school in 

Hannibal for severely handicapped children. 

Every spring they assist the Gatekeepers program 

by providing mini sports camps for local 

schoolchildren.

It was another exciting season for Trojan men’s soccer fans. 

With an overall record of 12-2-5 and a conference record of 

4-1-2, the HLG men’s soccer team wowed the crowds at every 

game. 

“The season was characterized by a team which was 

strongly united, played with passion, executed the game 

plan and enjoyed the outcomes of their focused dedication 

and preparation,” said Head Coach Dave Erskine. The team 

experienced several wins which included their first ever win 

against top 25 ranked Columbia College in the play-offs. 

Team members JP Wunder, Matt Gordon, and David 

Senchermes were awarded AMC All-Conference honors 

while Miguel Ramirez, Travis Hansen, and Austin McDowell 

all received AMC Honorable Mention nods. Matt Gordon 

received the NAIA All-America Scholar Athlete award. 

The Trojan men’s soccer team is not only successful on the 

field; they are in high demand off the field as well. Throughout 

the year, the team is invited to area elementary schools to 

lead soccer clinics for children. Both the players and the 

participants enjoy these clinics. 

The outlook for next year’s team is strong. Coach Erskine 

will begin next season with a returning core of key starting 

players. Get ready for another exciting season! 

An indicator marking the end of an athletic team season is the absence 

of practice. Not so with the 2005 Trojan women’s soccer team. Within a 

week of final play, individual players were seen practicing and preparing 

themselves for next season. “It was a disappointing season in terms of 

record,” said Head Coach Jason Nichols as he reflected on the 2-14-1 

overall season record. “However, in spite of some disappointment and 

challenging times with not winning like we desire, it was a season like no 

other in terms of unity and having a solid group of young ladies who are 

on board with the vision of this team,” continued Nichols. “Team unity is 

often a by product of winning, but the test comes with losing, and amidst 

that, the players continued to press on and encourage each other daily 

and did their best to take one game at a time.” 

The lady Trojans played Trinity International University, a top 25 NAIA 

team to an 0-1 defeat with less than two minutes to play. “Although we 

were outmatched with talent, the ladies played with a resolve to stick 

to our game plan 

and gave 100% 

for 90 minutes,” 

said Nichols. 

“Afterwards, both 

teams gathered 

together to pray 

and sing a song of 

worship together 

before departing. It 

was extra special 

playing a very good 

team who also 

were playing for 

God’s glory.” 

Over fall break, 

the team traveled 

to Arizona to play 

Embry-Riddle 

Aeronautical 

University (NAIA) 

and Grand 

Canyon University 

(NCAA Div. II). 

Even though the 

Trojans fell to both 

teams, they still 

considered the trip 

the highlight of the 

season. “While 

there, we were able to serve at the local Salvation Army warehouse 

sorting goods for Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita victims,” said 

Nichols. “It was such a joy to coach a group of young ladies who had a 

sincere desire to represent Christ through the platform of soccer.” While 

in Arizona, the team had the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon and 

shared a special time of worship and testimony on the south rim of the 

canyon. “It was a truly special time that none of us will forget,” shared 

Nichols. 

The 2005 season was a rebuilding year represented by many young 

players. Coach Nichols has set goals toward a winning 2006 season by 

adding players who will add depth and increase the level of intensity and 

competition. “I’m very excited about the prospective student-athletes I 

am currently recruiting and anticipate a great season,” adds Nichols. “I’m 

convinced that as long as we keep our mission before us ‘...to pursue 

whole-hearted excellence that will develop young women of maximum 

impact for Christ in their current and future roles...’ that HLG women’s 

soccer will honor God.” 

The men’s and women’s cross country teams began the 2005 

season with a new skipper. Head Coach Brad Lingafelter began his 

duties at HLG in July 2005 and hit the road running—literally. 

Coach Lingafelter was impressed with his teams from the start. 

“Of all the sports I have coached, Cross Country is the one that 

stands out the most for the importance of self-motivation,” continued 

Lingafelter. “If a coach has to motivate a young man or woman to 

run ten miles, it is going to be a long season. Our kids craved it. They 

wanted to improve every day and they did,” said Lingafelter. 

The teams worked together and supported one another on a daily 

basis, and the meets revealed the results of their hard work. “Each 

individual meet is a time trial against your personal best time,” 

explained Lingafelter. “Our philosophy is simply being better today 

than we were yesterday.” 

Both teams had several top three finishes and represented HLG 

extremely well in the regional meet which is considered one of the 

strongest regions in the country. 

With the men finishing 7th in a 

field of 12 teams and the women 

taking a 10th place finish, the 

Trojan Cross Country teams 

made a respectable showing at 

every meet. 

“The camaraderie on both 

teams made the season very 

enjoyable. Everyone genuinely 

cared about the other members 

of the team and how they 

were performing. Every runner 

Volleyball 

Going into the 2005 season, the Lady Trojan Volleyball team knew 

that the schedule would be a challenging one. Although several 

players returned for the 2005 season, many would have to adjust 

to moving to a new position and others would be in the line-up for 

the first time. A rocky start to the season confirmed their forecast, 

however, the team improved with every match. “The most exciting 

aspect of our season cannot be described in terms of wins and losses, 

but in the way we continued to strive to improve throughout the 

season. This persistence paid off as we finished the season with some 

very strong showings,” said Head Coach Dan Hurst. 

Intensity and determination were traits that described the strength 

of the 2005 squad. “Many times we faced bigger and stronger teams 

physically and we were able to compete with them because of these 

traits,” said Hurst. “Our most rewarding performance came against 

Williams Baptist in our second to last conference match of the season. 

We had lost to them earlier at their place in a close five game match. 

However, this time we were at home (Homecoming ’05) and beat 

them convincingly in three games,” added Hurst. “Although our 

record (7-26 overall) did not show it, we played our best down the 

final stretch of the season. The second time through the conference 

schedule, we played each team better.” 

The 2005 season saw the end of the careers for four seniors. Beth 

Frame, Amber Polson, Jessica Pope, and Katie Spears were key players 

for Coach Hurst. “They each played in over 80% of the games and 

provided tremendous leadership this final season.” 

Returning next year will be four juniors, leading hitter Kari 

improved their time 

from the start of the 

season to the end,” 

added Lingafelter. “I 

was very proud of 

them for that.” 

The 2006 season 

will be one of 

rebuilding for the 

Lady Trojan team. 

Lingafelter will lose 

all but two runners 

for next season. “The first goal is to recruit almost an entirely new 

women’s team,” said Lingafelter. The men’s team will return a strong 

core next year and Lingafelter plans to carry the momentum from this 

season into next season. “As of right now we are waiting to finalize 

the process, but all indications are that we will be well represented by 

a great freshmen class as well as some junior college transfers.” 

Reflecting on the 2005 season, Coach Lingafelter was most 

impressed with the quality of students that participated in the cross 

country program. “In my nine years of coaching, I can honestly say 

that this is the best group of kids I have ever worked with and I always 

knew that they represented HLG with the utmost class.”

Hurst has set a goal to 

finish the 2006 season with a .500 or better record, to finish in the top 

half of the conference and to advance to at least the second round of 

the AMC tournament. 

Reflecting on the 2005 team Coach Hurst shared, “The thing I am 

most proud of about this team is the way they demonstrated a true 

Christian attitude both on the court and off. So many times in today’s 

society we hear about the negative actions of athletes. It’s refreshing 

to see teams such as this one who represent the true meaning of 

student-athletes.”
