EVELYN HUBBARD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

This scholarship was established by Donna Haddock Forbes in the fall of 2003, in loving memory of her longtime music teacher.

Evelyn Plunkett Hubbard was born in Wortham, Texas. She began playing the piano at the age of four. In her early years of formal instruction, she complained of the necessity of “note-learning” and scales, but with maturity she realized the importance of education and with it the “note- learning” and theory.

Her dream of becoming a concert pianist changed to being a wife, mother, and teacher when she married D. H. Hubbard. She began private lessons in a studio in Crane, Texas. Upon moving to Phillips, Texas, in 1940, the private lessons continued in her home.

In 1942, Mrs. Hubbard began her teaching career. She taught for 20 years in the Phillips schools, moving from elementary to middle school and on to the Phillips High School Choral Director. Her sweepstakes-winning choirs became legendary. During the time at Phillips, she also earned her Masters in Music Education from West Texas State University.

In 1962, Mrs. Hubbard became the Director of the Music Department at Frank Phillips College. She established the Plainsmen Combo which consisted of the FPC choir and students who played musical instruments. These students practiced on their own time under the direction of “Mother Hubbard”. The Combo played for FPC basketball games and performed for surrounding schools and civic groups.

The Combo eventually became known as The FPC Medicine Show. This show promoted FPC to many new and eager students.

In 1970, she became the Chairman of the Division of Fine Arts at FPC. Evelyn had the ability to build programs and to promote the abundant talent at FPC. Her dreams were realized on-stage when it required two nights to accommodate the crowds that attended productions such as the annual Hootenanny.

Mrs. Hubbard and FPC graduate Paul Biggs created the Phil-Originals. This group became known internationally. They sang for such events as Governor John Connally’s programs and the Lions International Convention in Chicago. The sponsor of this scholarship, Donna Haddock Forbes, was a member of this group. Mrs. Hubbard was a member of the 20th Century Club, the Music Club, Tri-City Concert, Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Alpha Chi.

She was the organist/pianist for the Phillips and Fairlanes Baptist Churches for 50 years. She was awarded The Altrusa International Community Services Award in 1973.

Evelyn’s teaching and motivation of students was outstanding, but her greatest attribute was her ability to understand, encourage, and love her students. Many of her students reached goals they had never dreamed of.

Mrs. Hubbard inspired her students to see their potential and to succeed.

Evelyn and D.H. were married for 69 years. They had one daughter, JoAnn Kuhrt, who, with her husband Harry, gave them four grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
