The response to the post by his former students was heartening and eventually resulted in the creation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hallumscholarship.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">a website in his honor<\/a> to promote the Roger Hallum Scholarship Fund. It&#8217;s my pleasure to introduce you to Roger Hallum, a most extraordinary teacher.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When I say, \u201cJump,\u201d you ask \u201cHow high?\u201d Those words ring in the ears of Roger Hallum\u2019s students decades after he uttered them. Hallum, Le Mars High School speech and drama coach from 1969-1975 was speaking to a tough crowd\u2013three dozen or more high schoolers who comprised the cast and crew of 1971 fall play, You Can\u2019t Take It with You.<\/p>\n<p>Hallum\u2019s students took his words seriously and jumped as high as they could whenever he asked. In turn, he believed in them and trusted them to do more than they thought they could do. The lives of those students were profoundly impacted by Hallum\u2019s wisdom, humor, and faith in their abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Several months ago, Chris Lindell, \u201974 learned that Hallum had died on July 1, 2009. He passed the news along via Facebook, and his former students began to share their favorite memories of him. Funny stories about standing on stage and hearing his voice booming from somewhere in the dark theater. Practical advice useful to this day: \u201cWhen you\u2019re going to give a speech, never say \u2018I\u2019m gonna talk about\u2019 about what you\u2019re gonna talk about.\u201d And regret that \u201cI don&#8217;t think I ever saw him after he left and I&#8217;ve always wished I&#8217;d had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Hallum\u2019s former students created a scholarship to honor Hallum\u2019s wisdom, humor, and faith in their abilities. Through the Roger Hallum Memorial Scholarship, they hope to pass along his confidence in young people to today\u2019s LCHS graduates.<\/p>\n<p>The scholarship fund is available to Le Mars Community High School graduating seniors who are pursuing a college degree in the creative arts.
