'29 Simmons Honor Graduate
Receives Coveted Keeter Award
Mrs. Lunelle Nix Hemphill longtime
Abilene resident was honored recently
as the 1980 Keeter Award winner by
Hardin-Simmons University.
Mrs. Hemphill a Magna Cum Laude
graduate of HSU in 1929 received the
prestigious honor at the conclusion of the
annual HSU Alumni Association barbe-
cue that highlighted homecoming activi-
ties. The Keeter Award is the highest honor
the University bestows upon former
graduates and was established 36 years
ago in memory of John J. Keeter Jr. by
his parents. The recipient is selected for
"contributions in his particular field of
endeavor toward the betterment of HSU
or for services rendered directly or in-
directly to HSU."
"If one were to select a model for the
ideal alumnus of Hardin-Simmons Uni-
versity it would be most difficult to find
a better example than the person we
honor today" Abilene attorney Bill Tip-
pen said in introducing Mrs. Hemphill
at the barbeque.
Dr. Lee Hemphill her husband and
vice president emeritus of HSU won the
Keeter Award in 1968. This is the second
time in the history of the award that a
wife and husband have won in separate
years.
Last year Mrs. W.B. Irvin of Dallas
won the honor after Dr. Irvin had been
selected in 1960. Another couple Mr. and
Mrs. Solon Featherston of Wichita Falls
shared the award in 1955.
The choice was greeted by a prolonged
standing ovation from the crowd of 475
in the Mabee Complex arena as Mrs.
Hemphill and her family climbed the
platform. The crowd around the micro-
phone included six HSU graduates and a
current student: Dr. and Mrs. Hemphill;
their son and his wife Hilton and Caro-
lyn Hemphill of Houston (both 1963 grad-
uates) and daughter Rosa Lee (Class of
1958) and her husband Milford Prichard
Jr. (Class of 1957) of Abilene. Lou Ann
Prichard is a sophomore at HSU. Both
Hilton and Rosa Lee graduated Magna
Cum
"Words are so inadequate at times like
this but this is one of the greatest sur-
prises and one of the greatest honors in
my entire life" Mrs. Hemphill said as
she accepted the plaque.
The Hemphills have been active in
Abilene affairs especially First Baptist
Church and HSU since 1959 when Dr.
Hemphill assumed the post of vice presi-
dent for development.

Lamesa school system she married her
Magna Cum Laude classmate from 1929

"Together they chose to live a life of
exemplary Christian stewardship of
time talent and personal resources"
Tippen said. "Acting jointly they sought
to share to the fullest measure the mate-
rial blessings which God provided with
their church and most especially with
Hardin-Simmons University."
Among the HSU programs and pro
jects which the Hemphills have sup-
ported are: the Cornerstone Lecture
Series endowment for the School of
Business and Finance an electronic mu-
sic laboratory significant contributions

opment plan that changed the entire

boy Band Foundation purchase of some

the Library Book Fund the Cowboy
Club Student Foundation scholarships
