Dear Fellow Alumni:
Homecoming 2018 saw approximately
325 people at the luncheon, and 110 in
attendance at the dinner/dance. Our
Homecoming luncheon and tent meeting
were held on the Library grounds.
Class reunions were held for the classes
of 1955, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1983, and a
reunion of the 1967 Football Team.
Homecoming for 2019 will be held on
Saturday, October 12 coinciding with
the annual Columbus Day weekend. The
location for the picnic luncheon will be
on the grounds of the Rutherford Parks
Library and our dinner/dance will be at
the Lebanon Golf and Country Club.
Currently, our investment account is at
$111,239.25. We have a balance of
$1,879.60 in regular checking,
$32,661.73 in the LTA account, and
$24,505.69 in the Library account. In
July, we will be funding 5 scholarships
for $1,500 each for a total of $7,500. In
addition to the 5 scholarships, we have a
new scholarship this year that was pri-
vately funded for $2,000 for a female
student who chooses to attend one of the
following 3 universities: Belmont Uni-
versity, Cumberland University, or
David Lipscomb University. This
scholarship is in memory of Alexis Rae
Tipton, daughter of Ashley Shane
Kippes Tipton ‘88, and granddaughter of
Cheryl “Goldie” Kippes. Mrs. Kippes
provided the funds for this scholarship.
As of May 4, 2019, we have received
donations of $33,125 for the general
fund and $17,641 for the library fund. A
total of 340 donors contributed to the
fundraisers. These figures are from the
beginning of our June 2018 fundraiser
through May 4 of this year and includes
scholarship contributions.
This year we had 3 scholarships privately
funded out of the 5 regular scholarships of
$1,500 each. We are very appreciative of
the generosity of these contributions. The
other scholarships have been funded from
the alumni association’s scholarship fund.
If anyone is interested in funding a full
scholarship in honor or in memory of a
classmate or anyone else, please contact
me at 615/451-0468 or email me at
The Scholarship Selection Committee,
chaired by Carleton Thackston ‘67, com-
pleted the selection of this year’s 6 scholar-
ship recipients. We have now completed
the 19th year of the Alumni scholarship
program. The list of this year’s recipients
are on page 3.
The endowed J.B. Leftwich CHMA Editors’
Scholarship at Cumberland University (in
its 8th year) was awarded to Dakota Delk
for the academic year of 2018 - 2019 in the
amount of $1,000. Dakota is majoring in
Secondary Education and English with a
minor in Creative Writing.
Enclosed with this newsletter you will find

an Alumni Questionnaire to be completed and re-
turned to us. Some of the information you send us will
be used in the August newsletter in our “Alumni
Update” section.
For this year’s Homecoming, plans are being made for
reunions for the classes of 1959, 1964, 1969, and 1979.
Hopefully, the classes of 1974 and 1984 will have reun-
ions. Please call Jennifer Franklin Winfree at
615/477-9762 or email Jennifer at
[email protected] if you need information
on your class members to help with your reunion. We
will be happy to provide you with a roster of names,
addresses, phone numbers, and email.
Our next Board of Directors meeting will be on
Saturday, July 13 at the Ingram Alumni House starting
at 11 a.m.
Recently we completed the rebuilding of the wheels on
the cannon as well as the construction of a concrete pad
for the cannon. The cost of the cannon wheels was
covered by an alumnus who wished to remain anony-
mous. Donations from the class of 1959 and individual
donors from the class of 1957 and 1958 paid for the
concrete pad.
At present, major repairs are being carried out to
correct leaks on the Library roof. WASCO, Inc. of
Nashville is under contract to do the following: (1)
tuck point brick parapet on all elevations (cut out
and tuck point brick mortar joints on the para-
pets) at a cost of $20,631, (2) remove stone caps at
battlements and install new flashing; reinstall
stone caps, and repair brick at a cost of $12,990.
So far they have been working on the roof for
nearly 3 weeks. These repairs are both costly
repairs, but are necessary in order to better
stabilize the building. Any contributions would be
appreciated to help defray the above costs.
Please be sure to reserve the weekend of
Saturday, October 12, for the 2019 Homecoming.
We hope to see many of you back for Homecoming this
year. We have been fortunate over the years to have
good turnouts from both individual class reunions as
well as others who return to campus on a regular basis.
Speaking for the Board of Directors, I want to sincerely
thank all of you for your continued support of the
Alumni Association.
Best Regards,
Rob Hosier ‘63
