THE VALLEYHCJC/TVCC’s Musical HeritageTVCC to honor former music students at homecomingHCJC changed music instructors often.The longest serving director in the 1950swas Paul Cox, who served as director from1952 to 1956, when Shew returned as aninterim instructor.Under Cox, the band altered its militarystyleuniforms to a more “Texas” look,complete with cowboy hats and bolo ties.In 1972, Tommy Downing was the banddirector, and Cardinals fans were treated toa new form of entertainment at halftime –Cardinals and Company. This 150-membergroup of Cardinal Singers, CardinalBand and Cardettes performed twice onnational television. The group also performedat Mardi Gras in 1973.Music was a part of Henderson CountyJunior College from the beginning, but ittook several years for the deparment todevelop into anything similar to the robustband and choral programs TVCC enjoystoday.This year, TVCC is honoring its proudmusical tradition and inviting all formerchoir and band members to a reception intheir honor during the homecoming celebrationSaturday, Oct. 23 (see back coverfor schedule).In 1946, HCJC offered music theory and aone-hour credit for choral music. BenShew, who divided his time between thecollege and Athens schools, was the firstmusic instructor and founded the ChoralClub.By 1949 Shew had rounded up a 10-memberband, but resigned from his post at thecollege in 1950. Over the next few years,In 1957, Edwin Hart took over the programand the students had a new band hallin which to rehearse. It was one of fournew buildings erected that year. New girlsand boys dorms and the EngineeringBuilding also now graced the campuslandscape.The Choral Club became a full-fledgedcollege program – the Cardinal Choir in1964. The band in 1964 was a well-traveledgroup, performing in Palestine, Wacoand Dallas, as well as at Mardis Gras inNew Orleans.Through ‘64, one instructor directed bothband and choir, but in 1965 directorRobert Cody got a helping hand fromassistant Charles Herring who directed thenewly formed Wild Cards Stage Band andHCJC Combo. The choir presented its firstmusical production Down in the Valley.1965 was also the year the band, now 75members strong, received national recognition,performing at halftime for the televised20th Junior Rose Bowl in Pasadena,California. The band made a return trip toPasadena in 1966 for the Junior RoseBowl, and performed at a televisedHouston Oilers’ game.In 1968 Don Turner took over as banddirector, and for the first time, choir had itsown director in Hubert Wilbur.Although Cardinals and Company disbandedafter 1973, the modern structurefor the music department was set, and thegroups have continued to entertain audiencesat home, around the state and aroundthe nation as the music programs continuesto grow.Under current band director WillFairbanks, the band presents innovativeand entertaining shows and offers studentsopportunities to perform not only with theCardinal Band, but in a jazz ensemble,Dixieland Combo, or brass, wind and percussionensembles.The choir program, now under the directionof Dr. Byron McGilvray, includes 60members in the Cardinal Choir, ChamberSingers and the vocal jazz ensemble,Encore 2004.

THE VALLEYTVCC HONORS “DOC” RisingerDuring TVCC–Terrell LRC Groundbreaking CeremonyNaming the new learning resource center atTrinity Valley Community College–Terrellafter the late Dr. M.L. Risinger was theeasiest decision the board ever made, boardPresident Bob McDonald said.His comments came during the May 21groundbreaking ceremony for the newfacility, which attracted more than 200people from the community and college.“His quiet leadership and guidance servedthe college well,” McDonald said. “Morethan being a good board member and agood friend of the college, he was simply agood man.”The facility, which will house a newlibrary, classroom and office space forTVCC–Terrell, is the first constructionproject in the college’s new long-rangebuilding plan and the first constructionproject on the Terrell campus since the twoexisting buildings were erected in the mid1980s.The TVCC Board of Trustees in Aprilawarded a $3,012,500 contract to SongerConstruction of Dallas to construct the newlearning resource center (LRC).At the same meeting, the board unanimouslyvoted to name the new building inhonor of Risinger, who served the boardrepresenting the Terrell area for 19 years,the past eight years as board president.“I’d like to think that all of you are herebecause of your love for TVCC, but I’mnot that naïve,” TVCC President RonBaugh told the audience during thegroundbreaking ceremony. “I know you’rehere because you love ‘Doc’ Risinger.That’s a common feeling, and I assure youI share that feeling. The 19 years and threemonths ‘Doc’ served on the board were thebest years of my life.”Baugh said Risinger was a guiding force onthe board and was instrumental in causingmany positive things to happen, includingthe master building plan and the reorganizationof the Foundation, which is workingto raise $3 million, primarily for scholarships,by 2007.The board ealier this year appointedRisinger’s son, Dr. Charlie Risinger to finishhis father’s term. Charlie Risinger saidhe felt his father would have been honoredthat his name would adorn the new LRC.“My daddy loved this place and the peoplewho worked here,” he said. “I know thathe’s honored today.”Risinger said his earliest memories of thecollege were the Henderson County JuniorCollege (HCJC) buses that carried studentsfrom the area to Athens, and later his mother’sinsistence that he take a typing class.He took the class and a history class fromCharles Gann, who now serves as dean ofTVCC–Terrell.“Many of you got your start here and so didyour children, just like I did,” he said. “Mydad understood that wherever a kid wantedto go, it started here.”Richard Sanders of U.S. Rep JebHensarling’s office presented Gann with aflag flown over the U.S. Capitol, and boardmember Ray Raymond read a greetingfrom U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall, who laudedRisinger’s dedication to the college andcommunity and the legacy he left on both.Risinger, affectionately known as “Doc”,was a well-respected leader at the collegeand in the community and was active inmany church, business and agriculturalendeavors.Risinger practiced veterinary medicine inTerrell for 26 years, having previously runpractices in Bryan and Kaufman. He wasinvolved in numerous boards, includingserving as president of the TVCC Board ofTrustees and vice president of HeritageBank board of directors up until the time ofhis death in September, 2003.In his role on the TVCC board, he was dedicatedto providing the necessary servicesfor all students of the college, Baugh said,making the LRC a fitting tribute to hislegacy.The new building is a welcomed addition tothe increasingly cramped campus in Terrell,Gann said. TVCC–Terrell’s current library is2,700 square feet. The M.L. RisingerLearning Resource Center will include11,000 square feet for the library alone.The building will also contain 11 classrooms,including two designed to accommodatedistance learning equipment, a newnetwork room for expanded informationtechnology services, conference room and10 faculty offices. The building is designedto make expanding the library easier if theextra space is needed in the future.Construction is expected to be completedprior to the fall 2005 semester. The currentlibrary will be renovated to accommodatestudent support services.Other building projects planned for TVCCinclude a new field house, renovations ofMen’s Gym, a new technical building andrenovations to the Fine Arts Building inAthens, as well as a new maintenancebuilding in Palestine.TVCC administrators and board members join the family of Dr. M.L. Risinger during the groudbreaking ceremony of the new M.L. Risinger LRC4

THE VALLEYBRINGING IT HOME:Lady Cards claim fifth national title, 77-66By Benny RogersThe Lady Cardinals show their road to victory after winning the 2004 national title. The team finished the season with a perfect 36-0 record.SALINA, Kan. — Six minutes into thesecond half of the NJCAA women’schampionship game, it appeared as thoughthe script might not have a favorable conclusionfor the Trinity Valley CommunityCollege Lady Cardinals.But Jennifer Harris had another ending inmind.The 5-10, Morristown, N.J., sophomorewent on a three-point tear — hitting threestraight at one point — to enable the LadyCards to erase a seven-point deficit and goon to take a 77-66 win over Gulf CoastCommunity College in front of a crowd ofaround 1,000 at the Bicentennial Center.“I started shooting because I felt like I hadto take control,” a teary-eyed Harris saidduring the postgame celebration. “Nobodywanted to step up, so I felt like I had tocarry us.”And carry the Lady Cards she did.Harris led the Lady Cards with 25 points,including seven three-pointers, as theTVCC women punctuated a perfect 36-0season — the second in school history —and claimed a fifth national championship.In addition to Harris’ bombardment frombeyond the three-point arc, fourth-yearcoach Michael Landers’ TVCC squadused its depth to wear down the defendingnational champion Lady Commodores(34-2).“At halftime I felt pretty good, Landerssaid. “I didn’t think we had played all thatwell, but we had played at a fast pace. Wethought we would eventually wear themdown.”Despite having not been in top form oneither end of the floor in the first half, theLady Cards were up by one, 34-33.“I told the team at halftime I felt goodabout where we were at that point,”Landers said. “I knew we hadn’t playedlike we’re capable, yet we were still in thelead. Had we been down, say by six, Iwould have been concerned.”“And I knew they had some kids who hadalready played a lot of minutes, so Iexpected with our depth that mightbecome a factor later in the game.”Gulf Coast moved into a 47-40 advantageearly in the second half, but once the LadyCards put the clamps on, the game began toturn in their direction. Add to that Harriscatching fire, and it was a lethal combination.Harris drained a three-pointer from deepin the left corner with 11:43 left to bringTVCC within one, 51-50. In less than aminute, on successive possessions, she hittwo more to give the Lady Cards a 56-51lead.“Once I made the first one, I had a feelingI was going to keep going,” Harris said.Gulf Coast stayed close, but would neversee the lead again. After the LadyCommodores got within two, 58-56,TVCC went on a 10-0 run to get out ofharm’s way with a 68-56 lead with justover five minutes left.Harris drained her fifth three-pointer ofthe second half with 2:56 left to put theLady Cards into a 73-62 lead. Forty-eightseconds later, after a Vanessa Clementinosteal, Gulf Coast Coach Mary “Roonie”Scovel cleared her bench and the issue wasdecided.Continued Page 145

I have wanted to coach with himfor a very, very long time. We are fortunatehe wanted to return home to coach.”“The goal I envision for our defense atTrinity Valley is to be great at stopping therun,” Chancellor said. “We want ourdefense to dictate to the other team’soffense what they can do. Not the otherway around.”After graduating from TVCC, Chancellorattended Texas A&M–Commerce, workedin law enforcement and coached at severalhigh schools, most recently at Aleif-Hastings.Kenya Larkin tookthe long route backto Trinity ValleyCommunityCollege, but saidshe’s glad to be"home again."Larkin, who fanswill remember asthe wiry guard who helped the Lady Cardsto their fourth national title in 1999, hasreturned to help coach the defendingNJCAA national championship team nextseason."I am very excited about this," Lady CardsHead Coach Michael Landers said afterhiring Larkin as his assistant.

"But when youplay there, you’re one of only threeAmericans, and they expect a lot of you.They expect you to score a lot of points."She didn’t disappoint. She was first teamAll-Israel and Point Guard of the Year herfirst year and second team All-Israel hersecond year."It was a good experience, and I’m glad Idid it, but being back here feels like I camehome again," Larkin said.Landers said he felt Larkin would bring anew energy and sense of tradition to theteam and would be a homecoming the fanswould enjoy."I’m looking forward to working with herand having her be a part of the LadyCardinal program again,” he said. “Ibelieve our fan base is going to be veryexcited about this.

THE VALLEYREMEMBERING Miss MargaretDeHart touched thousands of lives in her years at TVCCMargaret DeHart receives a standing ovation during the 2000 commencement. She spent 44 years in service to the students of HCJC/TVCC.For the past 44 years, Margaret DeHartlent her soft-spoken but stern influence on“her children” — the students ofHCJC/TVCC.She taught two generations of students inmany families, but the next generation ofTVCC students will pass through thesehalls without knowing “Miss Margaret.”DeHart, who had battled illnesses over thepast few years, died of natural causes ather home in February.“Margaret was, in a lot of eyes, HendersonCounty Junior College and Trinity ValleyCommunity College,” TVCC presidentRon Baugh said. “The college was herchild more than anything else.”DeHart was born Oct. 15, 1943 inHillsboro. A resident of Athens since1950, she attended HCJC in 1952 andearned her bachelor of arts and master ofarts degrees from East Texas StateUniversity (Texas A&M–Commerce). Shealso had post-graduate hours from StephenF. Austin State University and theUniversity of Texas at Tyler.She began her teaching career in Mineolain 1957 and taught a stint with NewtonISD before coming to work at HCJC in1960.In 2000, the board of trustees awardedDeHart the Milestone Award in recognitionof her 40 years of service to the college.She was the longest tenured instructorat TVCC.During her years as instructor here, shetaught thousands of students, and it wasnot uncommon to hear current studentstalk about when their parents had MissMargaret for English.In addition to her classes, DeHart enjoyedoverseeing the annual county spelling bee.Always the teacher, she didn’t always letthe rules get in the way of making the eventa learning opportunity for the students.She hosted the annual event for many yearsbefore health problems forced her to quit.“Miss DeHart was always looking to thefuture,” Baugh said. “The future for herwas teaching and her students.”Her students describe her as a guidingforce in their lives, and her fellow teachersdescribe her as an inspiration. Her love foreducation was evident to both.“When Miss Margaret read or spoke ofpoetry or a piece of literature, she wouldsmile,” student Pat Burgess said. “Her facewould light up with a child-like expressionas she spoke. She loved it that much.”Miss Margaret will long be rememberedfor her dedication, her soft heart and drywit.“She was simply one of the most wonderfulladies that I have ever known,” longtimefriend and retired TVCC secretaryBeth Rogers said. “It is hard to imagineTVCC without Miss Margaret.”7

THE VALLEY‘FUN’ RAISINGFoundation gets boost from Uncle Fletch and other eventsThe TVCC Foundation received a boostfrom various events held this year, includinga couple of new sources the collegehopes will become annual fundraisers forthe endowed scholarship fund.The TVCC Office of Development andAlumni Relations organized its secondWine and Cheese Extravaganza and thefirst-ever Foundation Golf Classic. But thecollege also received a hand from theCentral Business Association, whichdonated part of the proceeds from theUncle Fletch Davis Home of theHamburger Cook-Off.Together, these events have raised over$15,000 for the Foundation. These fundshave been earmarked for student scholarships.TVCC entered its first capital campaign in2001 with a goal of raising $3 million by2007. Of that, $2.5 million is dedicated toscholarships, and the college will awardthe first 12 scholarships from the fund thisfall (see related story on page 15).The King of the Valley team won the Uncle Fletch Hamburger Cookoff this year. The eventhelped raise funds for TVCC scholarships.The first annual Foundation Golf Classicwas a great success.“Most of the funds come from area businessesand individuals, and we’re verygrateful that there are so many generousfriends of TVCC,” Hubbard said. “Eventslike the golf tournament are proving to bevery valuable as well.”The wine and cheese event attracted over100 guests in its second year. Held thisyear at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Joe EdSmith in May, guests sampled a buffet,visited with friends, and bid on auctionitems provided by area businesses and thecollege.The golf tournament is a new event forTVCC, but an instant hit. TVCC supportersKen and Mary Andrews donated theuse of Indian Oaks Golf Course nearKemp, and hosted 68 golfers.Area businesses, again, chipped in to provideprizes for the teams and individualswho won contests on holes throughout thecourse.To wrap up the fund-raising season instyle, the TVCC “Department ofHamburgerology” won its second consecutivehamburger cook-off in the revival ofthe Uncle Fletch Hamburger Festival.The Athens Central Business Associationrevived the event this year to celebrate thehamburger’s 100th anniversary. Athensclaims the title of “Home of theHamburger” after sending a local potter,Dave Fletcher, to introduce his hamburgersandwich at the 1904 St. Louis WorldsFair.The last time Athens hosted the festivalwas in 1999, when TVCC won top honorsin the cook-off. Dr. Joe Mills, who led theteam that year, led “The King of theValley” team to another victory this year.But the TVCC Foundation was also a bigwinner. In reviving the event, the CentralBusiness Association commited to donatinga portoin of the proceeds to TVCC forthe scholarship fund.“All of these events are about getting peopletogether to have fun, meet new folksand to share with them what our goals arefor the Foundation and our dreams for thefuture,” Hubbard said. “They are also veryvaluable tools in our scholarship efforts,and I hope we can make them all annualevents.”8

THE VALLEYTHE YEAR OF THE CHAMPIONS1994 was a “feel good” kind of yearThere was just something in the air aroundTVCC during 1994. It just felt good to bea Cardinal, and why not. They were on awinning streak.Fans watched the Lady Cards overwhelmtheir opponents all season during thespring semester and go on to set newrecords at the national tournament. TheirNJCAA championship, the first in the college’shistory, helped foster a positive attitudethe following fall that seemed to permeatethe entire student body.Not to be outdone, the ‘94 Cardinal footballteam claimed TVCC’s first nationalfootball title in an exciting overtime victoryover Northeastern Oklahoma A&M atthe Tyler Shrine Bowl. It was also the college’sfirst perfect 12-0 season.“Colleges go through cycles of good timesand not-so-good times,” TVCC PresidentRon Baugh said at the time. “Now seemsto be just an extremely good time in thelife on our institution.”TVCC will honor the members of the1994 football team during homecomingthis year. A reception is scheduled for 6:30p.m. Friday, Oct. 22 in the Orval PirtleAdministration Building (see back pagefor more information). A reunion for the1994 Lady Cardinals will be planned for alater date during this academic year.First-year head coach Kurt Budke (nowhead women’s basketball coach atLouisana Tech University) knew he hadsomething special. The 1994 LadyCardinals had size, depth and talent tospare. They wore opponents out withrelentless defense and were inspired topush all the harder if their opponent gotthe upper hand.Their only loss of the season was handedthem by Westark Community Collegeearly in the season. Budke hoped they’dmeet again at the NJCAA tournament.They did, and in the title game.The Lady Cards rolled past Westark 104-95 led by the scoring of Teresa Jones andan unstoppable attack by CarleneMitchell, Shalonda Enis and LeakeashaHicks in the final minutes of the game.The Lady Cards finished the season 35-1and set new NJCAA scoring records byscoring more than 100 points in each oftheir four tournament games.On the heels of the Lady Cards’ victory,and their own decisive victory the previousfall at the Real Dairy Bowl, the ‘94Cardinal football team was on a mission.Ranked No. 1 in the pre-season poll,TVCC was the team to beat, and theCardinals seemed unstoppable most of theseason. But they would face NEO for thenational title game.NEO was not yet a member of the conferenceand was a feared opponent for mostteams. They were big and strong and on an18-game winning streak.Even the college presidents got into theexcitement. NEO president Dr. JerryCarrol predicted a NEO victory by 10points, but Baugh countered that if NEOwanted the trophy, they would “have tosteal it.”The Cardinals were the first to score, but atthe end of regular play, the game waslocked at 17-17. Each team now had a setof downs to score in an overtime shootout.The Cards were up first.Quarterback Donald Sellars connectedwith Albert Connell on a 20-yard pass toset up a two-yard touchdown run byDerrick Johnson. Matt Bryant’s extra pointkick put the Cards up 24-17.“Stop them here and we’re national champions,”seond-year head coach RandyPippin told his team.Coece Roy was listening. With NEO facingfourth and six on the 10, Roy racedpast a NEO tackle to sack the quarterback,end the game and secure TVCC’s firstNJCAA football championship.9

THE VALLEYCARDINAL ACHIEVEMENTSIOTA ALPHA RANKEDTHIRD IN WORLDThe Trinity Valley Community Collegechapter of Phi Theta Kappa has been recognizedas second runner up for The MostDistinguished Chapter among 1,200 chaptersworldwide.The local chapter, known as Iota Alpha,received the honor during the internationalconvention held in Minneapolis, Minn.,where the students also ranked in the top 25of all competing chapters in each of the four“hallmark” competitions. Phi Theta Kappamembers from TVCC’s Athens, Palestineand Terrell campuses took part in the convention.“We had the best entry we’ve ever had,so I thought we’d do well,” advisor NancyLong said. “We’ve never ranked this highthough. It’s really unusual for a small collegelike us to rank in the top three chaptersin the world.”A chapter’s ranking is based on documentsthe chapter members prepare detailingtheir activities throughout the year inrelation to the international society’s studytopic and project.This year’s study topic dealt with healthissues, and the society adopted support forcancer research for its international project.Iota Alpha members took part in manyfund-raising and educational projectsthroughout the year to raise awareness onvarious health issues.Iota Alpha was the highest ranked chapterfrom Texas. TVCC students won aFellowship Award and ranked among the top25 chapters in scholarship, leadership andservice. Iota Alpha was also recognized as aDistinguished Chapter, an honor awarded tothe top 25 chapters.Collectively the Texas chapters wererecognized as a Distinguished Region. Thishonor is awarded to the top three regionsbased on all entries from that region.STUDENT SENATETOPS IN THE STATEThe TVCC Student Senate is the best inthe state according to the Texas JuniorCollege Student Government Association.TVCC students returned from Houstonwith the organization’s Most OutstandingStudent Government Award this spring.This year marks the twelfth time in 16 yearsTVCC has won the top honor.CHEERLEADERS FINISHSECOND AT NATIONALCHAMPIONSHIPThe Cardinal Cheerleaders finishedsecond at the collegiate national championshipsin April.Team coach Lucy Strom said the teamperformed well in the final competition, butNavarro College claimed its second consecutiveNational Cheerleaders Association title.Navarro scored a 9.15 to TVCC’s 8.78.Paris Junior College (coached by formerCardinal Cheer Coach Connie Russel) finishedthird with an 8.62, followed by BartonCounty College with 8.25 and KilgoreCollege with 7.69.The student senate members maintain abusy schedule throughout the year in collegeand community activities. AdvisorMike Peek said the goal is for each memberto donate at least 30 minutes each week toat least one of the senate’s volunteer projects.“Our philosophy is that if each persondoes a little, collectively we can do a lot,”Peek said. “And they’ve done a lot thisyear.”“The kids did great, and we knew it wasgoing to be close,” Strom said. “It just camedown to the judges, and I guess they likedNavarro’s routine better. Navarro did reallywell, and we’re proud of them. It’s hard towin back-to-back championships.”Navarro and TVCC have becomefriendly rivals in cheerleading over the lastfew years, trading the national title since2000. Navarro won the junior college divisionthat year, and TVCC won in 2001 and2002.The Cardinal Cheerleaders have wonseven NCA titles since 1989, includingthree consecutive championships from 1989to 1991.10
