Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I am deeply saddened today to announce the death of our beloved elementary school band teacher. Doris Huffer Hutton, Boonsboro High School (MD) Class of 1940, passed away on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 in Fort Myers, Florida at the age of 88.
Mrs. Hutton provided so many of us with our earliest real musical training, and I think of her often. Even beyond teaching us the basics of music, she frequently imparted insights to life itself and its joys and disappointments. I recall her saying that as a child she had always dreamed of becoming a coloratura soprano, yet as she matured, she found herself a contralto instead. The important thing to remember at such times was how to accept such changes gracefully and gratefully. She was a great woman, and I appreciate the opportunity I had of being her student for three years at Magruder and Walter Reed.

FORT MYERS, FLA. - Doris Huffer
Hutton, 88, died Tuesday, June 29, 2010, at Calusa Harbour Assisted living
in Fort Myers, Fla. Doris was born in Boonsboro, Md., on May 12, 1922. She was the daughter of the late Alfred Calvin and Otilia (Pearce) Huffer. Doris graduated from Boonsboro High School in 1940, Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in 1944 with a Bachelor of Music Education degree, and the College of William and Mary in 1960 with a Masters degree in Elementary School Administration. She taught vocal music at South Potomac Jr. High in Hagerstown, Md., and Hampton, Va.; and elementary band in Newport News, Va., until retirement. She also taught private piano. She was an ordained Minister of Music in the United Methodist Church and served in that capacity at several churches in Virginia and Fort Myers. Doris was a primary developer of the Shenandoah Alumni Association and served as president for many years. She was one of several Huffer family members to graduate from Shenandoah over the past 100 years. Doris' aunt, Vida (Huffer) McAdams graduated in 1909; her father in 1915; and her sister, Eula (Huffer) Swain in 1946. Her influence was substantial as the historic institution moved from a college/conservatory in Dayton, Va., to a fully-accredited university in Winchester, Va. Doris is survived by her husband of 62 years, Henry Hutton of Fort Myers; sister, Eula (Huffer) Swain of Williamsport, Md.; brother, Alfred C. Huffer Jr. of Delmar, Md.; nephew, Andreas Huffer; nieces, Marcia Swain and Lisa (Huffer) Harbaugh; and several grand nieces and nephews.

From Susan Whitcomb Harlin ('72) of TX - 07/13/10 - "Doris Huffer
Hutton":
Carol,
I remember Mrs. Hutton well. She was my band teacher for Grades 5-7 at
Stonewall Jackson Elementary School
(1965-67). There are a lot of good memories from those years. Thanks for posting
this.

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
