FROM CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD ALAN ENGEL

s this issue of the magazine goes to press, I write with great excitement about the current school year. This fall we saw the addition of new faces on campus in the form of the arrival of our Interim Head, Don North, as well as many new students, faculty, and staff. These newest members of Aour community have already made a positive impact and it’s been my great pleasure to work with and get to know Don North. I hope you viewed our video greeting earlier this fall and could feel the purpose and clarity Don has brought to campus. Don and all our newest community members have quickly embraced all that is so special about the Indian Springs family. Equally if not more exciting was the recent conclusion of our search for a permanent Head of School which yielded Scott Schamberger, current Assistant Head for Admission and College Counseling at Woodberry Forest, who will join us in July, 2020 as Indian Springs’ seventh Head of School. You will hear more about Scott in the spring/summer issue of the magazine, but know that I speak for the Board, faculty, students, and parents when I say how excited we are to have Scott join us and how grateful we are to Search Chair Lia Rushton P ’09, ’11, the search committee and all who participated in this process. If opportunity is the theme of this magazine, then the year Springs has had thus far—and all that we have to look forward to—make this theme very fitting. Some of the alumni who had the honor and privilege to serve as Mayor during their time at Springs will reinforce that theme with their recollections in the pages of this magazine and share how their experience in student government shaped future opportunities. ALAN ENGEL ’73 P ’03, ’12 As an alumnus and parent of alumni, I remain thankful for the opportunities that my own experience at Chairman, Indian Springs made possible for me. Parents and alumni not only understand the importance of our mission Indian Springs School and the value of but can themselves recognize that our learning never stops and that Board of Governors Learning through Living Indian Springs will always provide the foundation for that lifelong endeavor.

• Made drums and built pedals, devices that alter or extend the range of sounds that guitars and keyboards make. Customers include the bands Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, and The Police.

• Extensive experience at recording studios in multiple states, including his own Magnetic Audio at several locations in Birmingham.

20 HAL ABROMS AND HIS LATE WIFE, JUDY, established the Andy Abroms Memorial Scholarship Fund in 1997 in memory of their son, Andy Abroms ’77. Over the past 20 years, the endowed fund has enabled over 300 Indian Springs scholars to attend meaningful and challenging summer experiences across the United States and around the world. During Alumni Weekend 2019, the Indian Springs community celebrated the legacy of the Andy Abroms Memorial Scholarship Fund in a panel discussion featuring nine alumni who were Abroms scholars. Hal, surrounded by Board and faculty members, alumni, and current students, listened Hin the audience as the scholars reflected on the many ways that receiving an Abroms Scholarship impacted their high school experiences and influenced their futures. “It’s such a pleasure for me to see what you’re accomplishing and what you have to offer to the world. I have learned so much from all of you,” Hal said to the scholars. Christina Tetlaff, Indian Springs chemistry teacher and longtime member of the Abroms Scholarship Selection Committee, concluded the discussion: “Thank you to our panelists for their honest words and inspiring advice. They are only a few examples of the hundreds of lives that Mr. Abroms has touched and of the many more that are still to come.” On the following pages, enjoy the photos from the Alumni Weekend 2019 “Abroms Scholars, Then and Now” panel discussion, read personal notes from each panelist, and meet other scholars who have excelled in academics, arts, and

24 About the Abroms Family At the age of 17, Hal took time off from his studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to join the United States Navy. He was training and working in Louisville, Kentucky when World War II ended. He returned to college, met Judy at a party, and the two were married soon after. They moved to Birmingham in 1951 for Hal to pursue a business opportunity in the meatpacking industry with his cousin and best friend. He sold the business in 1973 to become a co-owner and vice president of Parisian department stores. In 1983, Judy opened a store of her own in Mountain Brook: Etc., a women’s boutique. Hal and Judy both enjoyed long careers before retiring in 1996 and 2009, respectively. In 69 years of married life in Birmingham, Hal and Judy expressed their priorities through philanthropy. They supported educational innovation and arts education through major gifts to Indian Springs School, the Alabama School of Fine Arts, the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School, Birmingham-Southern College, Samford University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, McWane Science Center, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. They have been committed to the Jewish community in Birmingham and served as leaders in countless Jewish organizations. Hal received the Outstanding Civil Leadership Award from the National Society of Fundraising Executives and the Brotherhood Award for outstanding community service from the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Hal and Judy’s legacy at Indian Springs began almost five decades ago. Their oldest son, Jim, graduated from Indian Springs in 1972, and their youngest son, Andy, in 1977. Andy tragically died in a car accident at the age of 28. Ten years later, Hal and Judy founded the Andy Abroms Memorial Scholarship Fund in memory of him and his fondness for the school. Since then, three of Hal and Judy’s grandchildren have also graduated here: Michelle Abroms Levin ’98, David Abroms ’01, and Sarah Abroms Kunin ’04. Judy sadly passed away on October 18, 2018. The impact that she and Hal made together, and the impact that Hal continues to make, will always be felt in the Indian Springs community. Indian Springs

25 Abroms Giving Back Indian Springs students who apply for Abroms Scholarships are required to submit a prospectus which includes an answer to the question, “how will your program enable you to contribute to the Indian Springs community?” From the beginning, it has been important to Mr. Abroms and the selection community that scholars find a way to give back. For panelist Alex Jamroz ’11, giving back means serving on the Indian Springs Alumni Council and volunteering to coach the men’s soccer team. “Mr. Abroms gave to us so that we could give back to others. I think that’s what makes the Indian Springs community so whole. There are people from all generations who want what is best for this school.” For current students, it means seeking opportunities to share what they learned with other students through projects, presentations, performances, and more.

2018 and 2019 scholars giving back include Grace Brown ’21, who brings the skills she learned at Stanford University’s Lincoln-Douglas Debate Camp to our award-winning speech and debate team. Haden Embry ’20, who studied performance at the Berklee College of Music and serves as a teaching assistant in Indian Springs’ Contemporary Music program. Julia Goldberg ’20, who completed the Ramah Seminar in Israel and leads advocacy efforts for religious and cultural diversity in the student body. Virginia Gray ’20, who studied environmental leadership at Brown University and recently led a major fundraiser at Indian Springs for the World Wildlife Federation. John David Haws ’20, who studied theater at Northwestern University and shared his talents on the Indian Springs stage for two school productions in 2019. Jordyn Hudson ’21, who brings the knowledge she gained from working with the American Civil Liberties Union to our award-winning mock trial team. Alek Ledvina ’20, who used the skills he learned studying business at the University of Michigan to raise money for a project to better Indian Springs’ lake. Dylan Le ’20, who studied cybersecurity at Syracuse University and brings his innovative ideas to expand Indian Springs’ computer science program. Eleanor Lee ’21, who shares the piano skills she honed at the Miami Musical Festival with students, parents, and faculty in frequent Musical Friday concerts. Nyssa Youhn ’21, who studied crime at Northwestern University and spoke recently to the student body about the dangers and prevention of human trafficking. After every summer, the Abroms Scholars also write personal thank-you notes to Mr. Abroms and invite him to campus for a luncheon and presentations about their programs. Winter 2019 Winter 26 ‘‘ “My Abroms experience was the Washington University Architecture Discovery Program. I was always interested in drawing but the program was really the first opportunity I had to explore design and drafting. I had never considered architecture as a career option, but trying it that summer was like seeing the light—like the whole world had opened up to me. It was a life-changing experience and I am so grateful that I got to discover my passion. My friends at college just can’t understand that I got a scholarship from my school to go and discover something. I will always appreciate Springs and how much opportunity there is here.” —Alex Jamroz ’11, 2010 Abroms Scholar

ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

DEAR INDIAN SPRINGS COMMUNITY:

Thank you for your generous support during the course of the 2018–2019 fiscal year. Over 700 alumni, parents, faculty, and friends of Springs contributed nearly $1.7 million to capital projects and to the Annual Fund, providing critical funding for our school. Over 1,400 gifts came in the form of annual appeal gifts, support of last year’s Harvest Market event, the Alumni Class Challenge, bequests, and from our spring annual fund parent event. Additionally, the broader Springs family continues to support important capital projects relating to our campus master plan and endowed funds supporting student scholarships and our outstanding academics, athletics, and arts programs. Indian Springs would not be the school it is without these much-needed funds and without the energy of our volunteers. Thank you to the dozens of students, parents, faculty, and friends who volunteer for parent events, alumni reunion, admissions tours, trips, choir and theater performances, and athletic games.

As we head into an exciting new year please know how grateful we are to the extended Springs family for your ongoing support as we prepare for new projects and continue our work to make our school such a unique learning environment for current students and those who will come after them. Thank you for your vote of confidence in Indian Springs School!

Sincerely,

James Simon

INDIAN SPRINGS MAYORS, THEN AND NOW We reached out to Indian Springs alumni from different decades who have one thing in common: they all served as Mayors during their respective times at the school.

60 Evan: My platform was centered around upgrading aspects of the Hut. We spent so much time there for dances and other events that it seemed odd to have so much faulty equipment. The changes weren’t all that impressive, but the dances seemed a little bit livelier with better sound quality and some more lights. The most memorable moments were spent with the other members of the student government. It was truly rare to see that sort of organization and commitment to the betterment of a school and student body by a group of high school kids. I was honored to be a part of it. Q: What did you learn from your terms as Mayor and how did that leadership experience aid you as you moved on from Springs to college and beyond? Evan: Well, first and foremost you learn to get comfortable speaking in front of crowds very quickly. You learn to set lofty JOHN DAVID HAWS ’20 goals and aspirations even if you only have three months to try and Fall 2019 Mayor of Indian Springs achieve those goals. Most importantly, being Mayor teaches you the importance of community and comradery. Q: Why did you decide to run for Mayor? D.G.: I learned to listen really well. I think sometimes we believe A: Since I was in eighth grade at Springs, I knew that that once elected to a position of leadership, our ideas have to control running for Mayor was something I was interested in doing. All of the Mayors I knew were people I looked up to and the decision-making process. In reality, leaders are tasked with hearing wanted to be like, and running for Mayor was always what others have to say, delegating certain processes, and often letting something I had in the back of my mind. Still, for most of others run with ideas of their own. The cooperation and coordination my junior year, I didn’t think I was going to run because necessary to help others reach their goals while still providing a my academics had picked up and I was overwhelmed guiding hand is a delicate balance. It was certainly a big lesson that my with a lot of things that were going on.

That provides a great foundation to help folks whether in student In the end, I decided to run because I cared a lot about the Head of School search and knew that the Mayor could government, business or life. influence how that process went. I also had a lot of ideas for Scav Hunt and the “Looking for Alaska” screening that I wanted to make happen. At the end of the day, though, I thought I would do a good job supporting the Commissioners and being a leader and decided to give it a shot. Q: What stands out (so far for you) as the most memorable moments of your tenure? A: Honestly, the most memorable moments are the ones when I’m interacting with new students. I remember student government talking to the new eighth and ninth graders at the beginning of the year on their first day, and we were all telling them stories about our time at Springs and giving them tips on life here, and it was a very surreal moment because I remember being in their position so vividly. Whenever I get the opportunity to talk to a younger student and know that what I’m doing as Mayor will influence Springs’ future, that’s when I know that it’s worth it. Q: What have you learned (are learning) that you think will help you in future leadership roles beyond Springs from this year? A: One thing I have learned is that being assertive and making hard choices doesn’t get easier when you’re in a leadership position. For some reason I thought that once I became Mayor I would feel able to voice unpopular opinions more easily because I’m in a position of authority—it actually feels just as hard (if not harder) and now the things I say hold weight. I think that being Mayor made me realize more what my values are and what I will From the left: D.G.

64 FRANK SAMFORD ’62 Indian Springs received the sad news on Tuesday, December 10, that Frank “Sammy” Samford ’62 died suddenly after an accident near his home in Atlanta. He was 75 years old. Frank served two full terms on the Indian Springs Board of Directors from 2002 until 2016 and during that time chaired the board’s advancement committee and served on the executive, capital campaign, and finance committees. He was a passionate supporter of all things Springs and engaged with and led his classmates via their reunions, fundraising and other gatherings (he served as Mayor his senior year). Frank also was a major supporter of the choir program and quietly financed the school’s chess coaching, as well as supporting community chess through his own foundation. After attending Indian Springs, Frank graduated from Yale College and went on to University of Alabama Law School for his JD and then Harvard University for an LLM. Frank practiced law, taught at Emory University Law School, and ran several businesses. He and his wife Sharon were passionate about children’s rights and this led to Edward Sedarbaum, Howard Cruse ’62, Allan Cruse ’59, and Steve Coleman ’59 at the involvement with and support of an international 2012 Alumni-Faculty Reception adoption agency, the promotion of foster care services and support of groups dedicated to combating child abuse. Board Chairman Alan Engel ’73 recently remarked, “Frank Samford was, perhaps, the kindest and most generous person I’ve had the pleasure to know. We will miss Frank’s wit, stories, and laughter. A wonderful friend has departed.” Board member Leo Kayser ’62 added “Sammy was one of a kind. Always gracious and kind with a keen sense of humor. I shall miss him.” Interim Head of School Don North said, “Frank was a prince of a man; gracious, friendly and with tremendous life force. He was deeply committed to Springs and will be missed.” Frank’s family has a strong legacy of educational philanthropy in Birmingham at Indian Springs, UAB (The Virginia Samford Theater is named in honor of Frank’s late mother, Virginia Samford Donovan) and of course Samford University which was named in honor of Frank’s grandfather, insurance executive Frank P. Samford, Sr., a longtime supporter and trustee of the school. Frank is survived by his wife Sharon, his children Paul Samford ’90, Ginny, Katie, and Victor as well as his and Sharon’s three foster children who they helped raise, many grandchildren, and his brother John. The family has asked that donations in Frank’s memory be made to Indian Springs School. —James Simon Lem Coley ’62, Russ Maulitz ’62, Kristine Billmyer, Sharon Samford, and Frank Samford ’62 at the 2017 Directors’ Dinner Indian Springs
