Favorite H-SC Memory: The burning of McIlwaine Hall. It was said that students flushed the toilets in Cushing so the fire department could not get enough water. Also, someone was selling sandwiches and milk at the fire.

George & Peggy Wilkinson Favorite H-SC Memories: The great values and abilities of professors such as Dean Reed, Dr. Clower, Mr. Hoffman, etc. All the professors and staff had outstanding character. “Pledge Day” in 1954 was a great memory. The fun we had at the Kappa Sigma house after we pledged and all “the houses” that day. Pledged Kappa Sigma at HampdenSydney and re-pledged and became a brother at R-MC. A Lasting H-SC Value: The willingness of all students to help others. A Lasting H-SC Value: Taking nothing that does not belong to you; say nothing that is not believed to be true.

Hampden-Sydney degree: B.A. 1958 Advanced degrees: MS, Physics, UVA; MA, math, UVA; MS, math, VA Commonwealth Univ. Civic: Manakin Farms Civic Association Volunteer Work: Teaching school for 36 years was enough volunteer work. It was not 180 days of education, it was 12 months, 24 hours, and 7 days year round, when you are teacher, are athletic director, and coach. Still working: Instructor in Physics, University of Richmond, 1963 – 1966; Math & Physics Teacher, St. Christopher’s School, 1966 – present; Chairman of Math Dept., St. Christopher’s School, 1970 – 1990; Acting Chmn. of Science Dept., St. Christopher’s, for 3 years. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Learning to not like drinking beer. I failed Beer Drinking 101 – one of my best stories and memories. A Lasting H-SC Value: Honor and integrity. The College’s teaching me to speak to those whom you meet or pass along the way, and manners, such as “Yes, Sir.” Jim Boyd Favorite H-SC Memory: “There are many. Perhaps, supper with Dr. Allan, Dr. Moore, and Bill Blair ’53, at a party before graduation, can stand for four years of happy experiences. The two great old gentlemen gave a supper party and Bill Blair and I ended up sitting at a table for four with Dr. Allan and Dr. Moore. In four years, those fine men had never revealed to me anything that a 21-year-old would call a sense of humor. They kept Bill and me in smiles and laughs the whole evening.” A Lasting H-SC Value: “I took from Hampden-Sydney a reinforcement of values learned in my home, a love of learning, and a desire to teach.” Cannot locate Kaleidoscope picture THEN MILES SHIPMAN BROOKS 105 Dogleg Drive, Williamsburg, VA 23188 [email protected] H: 757-221-0906 Spouse: Carol Ann, married 29 years Child: Miles S. Brooks, Jr., age 49 worth and recognize the common bond you shared as students at H-SC. I guess it brought some of the more reserved guys out of their shells, and it encouraged acceptance among all of us rather than small cliques. Today’s students, I believe, could benefit greatly and the practice should be strongly encouraged. H-SC Degree: B.A. Military Service: U. S. Army, Corporal Retired private investor.

Military Service: Army National Guard, PFC E-3 THEN Sally & Jonny Waters Favorite H-SC memories include wearing signs with our names and home towns and rat caps (beanies) for the first few months of our freshman year; the night of the McIlwaine Hall fire in the spring of our junior year with Dr. Thompson taking his home movies of the event, which in later years we showed at alumni club meetings; late night runs out to the Boxwood for nourishment and the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Mr. and Mrs. LeVecque; basketball games in tiny Gammon Gym, particularly against Randolph-Macon and Mt. St. Mary’s; classes under dedicated teachers such as Graves Thompson, Robert Hubard, Joe Clower, Francis Ghigo, Maurice Allan, Ned Crawley, and Joe Whitted; developing friendships in later years with Bill Hoffman, Charles McRae, and Elmo Firenze. A Lasting H-SC Value: It may seem unusual today, but the practice of speaking to everyone you met on campus developed a number of lasting values to our generation of students. By speaking, you acknowledge each individual’s Spouse: Carol Charles Buck, married 14 years Children: Chelsea King, Margaret Hernandez, Beverly Coleman, and Scott Buck H-SC Degree: B.A. Military Service: Army Reserves, #-2 Retired.

Civic: Rotary Club, Lions Club Volunteer Work: White Oak Outreach Ministries (family assistance); President, United Way of Prince Edward County, VA FRANK BUCK 941 Aspen Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23464 [email protected] H: 757-395-4296 W: 757-481-7000 Working – GSH Real Estate since October 1995. Retired from Amoco Oil Company after 27 years. Frank & Carol Buck Professional History: Joined Amoco Oil Company in 1967 after 9 years with Sears. I have been with GSH Real Estate Company since 1995 and am a member of the Virginia Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Civic: Heart Association, Alzheimer’s Association, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia, Jaycees, Community Services Board, Community Criminal Justice Board and Republican City Committee Volunteer Work: Deep Creek Baptist Church - deacon, finance committee, mens breakfast group and adult mission team Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: McIlwaine Hall – the story lives on and on. It was one of the most memorable events in our four year stay at Hampden-Sydney. While attending H-SC, I had on occasion gotten into trouble– Bunny Bread, Longwood on Pledge Day, impersonating the student body president, and a few other things not worth mentioning. This leads me to the burning of McIlwaine Hall (named after the great-grandfather of Jim Frazer ’57) and why I was not in the spotlight as a suspect. It was my good fortune to have been studying (a miracle in itself) in the basement of Johns Auditorium with Smokey Watts who was a BMOC and above reproach. When it was learned who I was with that night., I was in the clear. I have heard rumors of who the culprit might be, but I am glad to say that it was not FRANK BUCK! A Lasting H-SC Value: Looking back on my years at Hampden-Sydney in regards to the values instilled in me, one stands out. Loyalty is something that I have lived with over the years. I was very loyal to my job at Amoco Oil Company for 27 years. Everything I did, I did for Amoco and their dealers. Where did this come from? I like to think it came from the gridiron: loyalty on the H-SC football team toward your fellow players was instrumental in being a successful competitor (we beat Randolph-Macon 3 out of 4 years). This is a learned value that has stayed with me for a long time, 50 years to be exact. 1956 Kaleidoscope, p. 68, row, 3, second from left THEN JAMES MACKEY “JIM” TRAMMELL 16 Beaver Road, Hershey, PA 17033 [email protected] H: 717-533-4370 C: 717-805-7676 Spouse: Sue, married 47 years Children: Kimberley Carr Trammell de Bien, age 46; James Mackey Trammell II, age 45. Grandchildren: 4 (3 boys and 1 girl) Great Grandchildren: Not yet – P lease H-SC Degree: B.S. McIlwaine Hall, March 29, 1957 Jim & Sue Trammell Retired. Was employed by the Sun Oil Company and retired as the Vice President of Public Affairs. Was the chief state lobbyist for Sun Oil. On retirement I formed the Trammell Group, specializing in solving client’s problems with government. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: George Trible; Darden Towe; meeting Max Meador; water fight; watching McIlwaine burn; Pi Kappa Alpha; Max Meador running into the PIKA porch while driving my car; name cards worn as freshmen along with beanie; receiving my degree and ring (Oh My!) A Lasting H-SC Value: H-SC both defined and instilled honor and integrity, and a lifelong interest in learning for me. Defined a value system that has lasted and influenced my life. Opened the door for an amazing curiosity. There was a singular event that perhaps some others might recall. Somehow I was managing Dr. Frederickson’s Chemistry class with some ease whilst others were finding it difficult. As a lowly freshman, I commandeered without any license his lecture room during very quiet hours for a few tutorials of fellow classmates. There we worked through various problems in preparation for the coming exam. Ah, the fright I felt when the good professor opened his classroom door in Bagby Hall and saw me at his blackboard. I never heard what he thought about this unauthorized usurpation, but he left us to our process without comment. Amazing how many memories linger vividly from my single year: too many to share. My deep regret is that I abandoned H-SC for what I thought were (financially) greener academic pastures at the end of my freshman year; however, I had been spoiled, and that new venture lasted but a semester before I took an educational “sabbatical” of a couple of years in the Marine Corps before going on to VPI for undergraduate and graduate studies. A lasting H-SC Value: For me, the most striking quality and value of our college was the personal investments of the professors and the staff in the students. I still remember keenly my first encounter with Paul Tulane Atkinson, college treasurer, who represented those who were going to enable my attendance. Or the ability to walk down the Via Sacra to a professor’s home to ask for help with some academic problem or personal issue. Ah, too many to remember individually! Above all of our day-to-day life was our Honor System. My high school had introduced me to the concept, and other colleges that I attended had their similar programs; but there was no other place I felt that value so deeply and pervasively held. I have no memory of there being any honor issue that year I was there, perhaps because everyone felt as I did. In closing: Without mentors, some known and some still unknown, I would never have had the value of starting my higher education at H-SC. There was a family tradition (my father and all his three brothers, my grandfather and his younger brother, and a greatgrandfather) of attendance, but the wherewithal was not there without considerable help. I owe so much to so many who are long gone. Thanks for including me with you in this class. Long live Hampden-Sydney! 1958 Kaleidoscope, p. 32, top left THEN JAMESON GEORGE BUSTON II “JAY” OR “J.G.” 3141 Stony Point Road, Apt. A, Richmond, VA 23235-2374 shagybufl[email protected] H: 804-272-7849 W: 804-350-9269 Spouse: Beverley, married 44 years Children: Anne, age 41; George, age 39; Alice, age 36 Grandchildren: 3 grandchildren by Alice H-SC Degree: B.S. in Science, minor in English Advanced Degrees: M.D., Medical College of Virginia, 1963; U.S. Public Health Service, Senior Assistant Surgeon (Lcdr) Jay Buston Working: Associate Clinical Professor of Family Practice, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University; faculty of St. Francis Family Medicine Residency; Staff Physician, former Medical Director, Bon Secours Care-A-Van Mobile Indigent Care Clinic; Medical Coordinator, Every Woman’s Life—indigent mammogram and pap smear program Professional History: General Practice Residency, US Public Health Service, Gallup NM.; Stationed in Galveston, TX; Coast and Geodesic Survey Ship in Alaska; Navaho Indian Reservation, NM; Private practice Richmond, Va. 1967-2000; Founder and President of Brook Run Family Physicians; Faculty, Department of Family Practice 1974-current; Faculty, Institute for Health Care Communications, 1992-present; Society of Teachers of Family Medicine; Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society Civic: Volunteer physician Crossover Free Clinic, plus American Lung Association, Noah’s Children, St. Michael’s Episcopal Church (outreach and mission, including trips to Honduras, Belize, Eastern Shore, and Appalachia.)Sunday School teacher, men’s group leader, school board, lay reader Past President West End Jaycees of Richmond, national award winner “5 Best Jaycees Spark Plug” Board of Directors, Hampden-Sydney Music Festival Favorite HSC story: When we had the “great fire” and the brick rubble was an eyesore on campus, Theta Chi hauled truckloads of brick, filled a huge gaping hole in front of the new fraternity house to create a parking lot, recycling the remnants of the old building into a useful area—at no cost to the fraternity, except the sweat and blisters from pounding the bricks and mortar into gravel. HSC Value: Diligence and hard work and study are necessary if you intend to succeed. Success doesn’t come to you, you have to work for it. The broad-based pre-doctoral program helped prepare me for the rigors of the professional world, while retaining the gifts of enjoyment of literature and classical music in the real world. I had taken music appreciation to beef up my pre-med grades, but learned to enjoy and treasure the classics, thanks to Dr. Thompson. One of my great joys was to be able to thank him some 40+ years later. 1977, I owned with others a manufacturer’s representative agency in Portland OR that sold equipment primarily to electric utilities in the Pacific Northwest. My next effort between 1977 and 1983 was owning and operating an electrical manufacturing company in Seattle. My active career ended with the sale of this company to my largest customer. I have largely been retired since then; but an interesting epilogue is a brief effort to serve as a stockbroker, with my first day being 19 October 1987, Black Monday, which provided the largest one-day percentage decline in stock market history. Needless to say, that new career was short-lived. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: How silly in retrospect seem our “rat races” that were part of our initiation! However, I can still recite the words on that state sign in front of the administration building—which had us founded in 1776, not 1775 as it should be. Also memorable was the embarrassment even then of being resident in Prince Edward County during the debacle of the closing of the county public schools—and how little outcry there was on campus. Sad memories too of departed classmates who were dear friends to an embarrassingly poor colleague. Jefferson (whom we lost early in our freshman year), Kennedy (who took a hungry freshman into his family home in Farmville for Sunday meals—and who left us way too young), Post (who helped fund my spending with wagers on lost checker games), Butler (who with his roommate Cushnie provided emotional support as needed), and others. And recently lost, Royster Lyle who, as a dorm counselor, provided insights into the campus processes and eased my assimilation into our campus life.

Advanced Degrees: I briefly attended Webb Institute of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (name is bigger than the school was) in Glen Cove, NY, for one semester in 1955. Then, a baccalaureate in engineering mechanics from VPI in 1961. Under a National Science Foundation Fellowship, I completed all the course work for a PhD in engineering mechanics in 1963; but, weary of academe, I chose to enter the world of commerce rather than write my dissertation—much to the dismay of my faculty! Retired: Since 1988, I have largely been retired, with a great deal of time spent traveling in Europe and North America. Professional History: I worked as a structural engineer for the Department of the Navy (originally as a cooperative engineering student) stationednear Washington DC from 1958 through 1965. During this time I participated in nuclear testing of naval structures in Nevada and highexplosive tests in Canada and Hawaii. I next worked with General Electric Company in Baltimore, Portland OR, and Philadelphia from 1966 through 1972 in sales and marketing of electrical equipment. From 1972 through Military Service: U.

Because our room was dark, the young men could not see Jim’s size—or mine. I was, and am, six-eight. They repeated all of the ugly words several times, loudly, and used some of them in messages directed toward Jim. Then, in my best tiny voice, I said that this kind of language showed a vocabulary deficiency. This message inflamed the group. They invited us to come outside to get what we sat on kicked. Jim, still in his tiny voice, said we would be right out. We went down to the end of Graham Hall and down the street. Coming from a different direction and looking nothing like the voices that had come from the window, we caused no alarm in the quartet—until we changed direction, walked up to them, and Jim said in his chipmunk voice, “Hi fellows. Here we are.” I think it must be rare to see even one man get religion. On this evening, I saw the shared epiphany of four. They looked up at Jim and up at me, and then they looked down and sad. It was the look of sinners confronted. They said, honest to God, they were sorry for their unbecoming behavior. Jim said that he could see that. He said he hoped they could find it in their hearts— because of the ladies on campus—to control their manly speech. All four heads began to bob, reminiscent of George after flying, when he was back in his cage and talking to himself. The memory remains an emblem of the Hampden-Sydney gentleman, someone who talks softly and then—talks softly again. Graham Hall, 1958 15 Hall for pre-game habitations. After hearing the coaches’ commentary on what we had come to think of as The Darkroom (although neither of us had a camera), Jim said he had seen the light and we needed more of it. With the help of friends and loved ones, we got as many lights of all kinds into the room as it would hold and still accommodate beds and desks. One of our classmates said it looked, “brighter than Boyd times Brinkley times McVey.” Our zoology experiment centered on a parakeet. He never tried to bite and was so gentlemanly that we named him George, after the student assembly president, George Bird. I played basketball and so Jim and I decided that George (not the student assembly president) should be an athlete, too. To get him in shape, we concentrated on prolonged flying. After freeing George from his cage, Jim and I would stand at opposite ends with towels. When George flew towards me I would flap my towel. When he turned to fly the other way, Jim would flap his towel. It was good exercise for Jim and me, as well as for George. He developed a chest that would have made a pigeon proud. But, in time, tiring of the sport, George gave up flying. When we opened the cage, he would hop out and walk around under the beds making angry comments. We took this as a sign he had grown tired of the school and the athletic program. We put him, as they say, out to pasture, with a young woman who loathed exercise but liked birds. All of this is a prelude to the H-SC memory (and value) that sticks best in my head. It was an impromptu experiment in sociology that occurred one Homecoming weekend. One afternoon around dusk a great many locker room words came sailing through the window of our dorm room. The authors of these words, some simple of the simple four-letter variety and others compound constructions, were four young men whom we did not recognize as classmates. Although he was a very large person, Jim could make his voice small and gentle, almost like that of the chipmunks who used to sing about Christmas. He called out to the quartet that ugly words offended his Picture in 1958 Kaleidoscope, p. 33, bottom left Jim Frazer ’57 THEN DR.

Favorite H-SC Story, AND a Lasting H-SC Value: For a time, I roomed with Jim Frazer, class of 1957. Jim enjoyed learning outside of the classroom, too. He took a special interest in physics. In the spring, he tried to see how far he could put the shot. In the fall, as a tackle on the football team, he carried on his spring avocation, trying to see how far he could put whoever lined up across the line from him. I never saw him put the man as far as the shot, but on the other hand, being strong and interested in what he was doing, Jim gave a considerable number of men the chance to see what it was like to land on the ground and look up at the sky. The day came when Jim suggested that it was time to conduct light experiments. Our first experiment was to study the effects of No Light. We taped and tacked papers and blankets over the window and around the door of our room in Graham Hall. With the door shut, the room got way beyond pitch black. This provided the conditions that led to a semester-long Naps Experiment, which ended when the coaches decided they needed to use Graham “borrowed” a mule and painted him with orange stripes, made a large newspaper which said “The Tigers are in the Blue Jay’s nest.” At halftime the mule, spooked by all of the people with their umbrellas, broke out of his restraint and took off into the woods toward Dr. Clower’s house. Bart Roper, Wally Hurt, and I took off to catch the mule. Bart tried to mount the mule, fell off onto his butt, and broke the pint bottle of bourbon in his back pocket, resulting in many stitches. 3. All of the good parties and fun. 4. Having my girl friend, now my wife, being named K.A. Rose.

Favorite H-SC Memories: 1. Wally Hurt drinking RC Cola in Cushing Hall only to find a mouse in the bottle. He immediately called his dad, Dr. Hurt, who said, “I always knew they would drink anything at Hampden-Sydney.” 2. Homecoming, H-SC Tigers vs. Johns Hopkins Blue Jays - We made a Blue Jay’s nest (crows painted blue), tion which helped to prepare one for success in an unlimited variety of professions and challenges—such a college has value beyond words, is a blessing, and provided benefits strongly felt but not always easily verbalized. In the ’60s, a highly regarded Marine general was delighted to discover I was a Hampden-Sydney man, and my status in his eyes was elevated because he spoke of its outstanding reputation. These values, and that of giving a young man a freedom to choose, are why many alumni, students, faculty, and Trustees focused to fight hard for their beloved old college to maintain its all-male tradition when there was a serious threat to its demise—what a memory and what a lasting value! The idyllic environment which my class of 1958 knew may never rise from the Camelotic mists again, but, with huge thanks to the Trustees for their decision of 1996, the all-male status persists, and, hopefully will continue to be a splendid lasting value. 1958 Kaleidoscope, p, 35, top right PETER CLOPPER “PETE” FULGHUM 13007 Still Meadow Road, Smithsburg, MD 21783 H: 301-824-2253 Spouse: Joan, married 51 years Children: Carolyn Elizabeth, age 48; Peter Stephen, age 47; Michael James, age 44; Andrew Patrick, age 41 Grandchildren: 4 THEN H-SC Degree: B.A. Advanced Degree: M.Div.

A Lasting H-SC Value: Four years of Bible Class and Mr. Clower. I had enough Presbyterian “Predestination” to last through eternity. As an Episcopalian, I probably need it. My church is going to hell in a hat basket! Tom & Liz Hanes and family athletes with champion teams in volleyball, basketball, softball, and football. Provide musical entertainment to nursing homes, hospitals and for other worthwhile causes. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Being tackled by Big Jim Frazer ’57 who could have killed me but put me down like a feather. Enduring Coach Hickey’s live tackling drills in which smaller backs tackled huge, mean, awkward, heavy linemen head-on to his delight—my shoulder has never been the same! Biology with Dr. Overcash, who delighted in asking trick questions that no one could answer. On one occasion, he had received about 15 consecutive wrong answers on the elimination process of a chicken; he got to me and I answered correctly (to his displeasure); he grunted, and Ed Harlow whispered “Attaboy Rootsy!” with his splendid devilish grin. Later, Ed and I didn’t fare too well on an exam, and we vowed to meet one day and give a toast. When Tommy Bryant and I lived in Gammon Gym as caretakers, we initiated a thriving business on a concession stand at ball games. When Coach Thalman, who had approved it, found out how much we were making, he took it over and hired us at low wages to run it. With Waters, Wells, Boyd, Buck, Leafe, and 5 others, whipping the varsity football team 26-10 in a real-game scrimmage to the dismay of coaches (except Fitzgerald who applauded us). With Miles Linton and Ron Henry, rushing in a drizzling rain at 11:45 pm in Linton’s car to “the” hang-out restaurant on Hwy. 15 before it closed. At the intersection STOP sign, Miles braked, we slid, crashed into another car, spinning our car around. The “Hawk” and I were thrown out; the STOP sign, which saved my life by stopping the car from sliding over me, came crashing down two inches from my head. My good friend, Jim Trammell, arrived immediately to give aid. Watching Bernie Marlowe order a ridiculous sandwich at “the” restaurant which, after having it repeated 3 times, the young waiter was so mad he threw his pad at Bernie and left. Encouraging words and healing hands from trainer Hank Read ’53. Diligently working to avoid 25-points-off on a ‘bad’ comma under Professor Hoffman. Lighting fires and playing harmonica for Maia Thornton. Amazing Dr. Thompson with English vocabulary learned from his Latin homework. Learning about Yahweh from Dr. McRae. Friendly advice and good milkshakes from a smiling Reggie. Seeing “Earth Angel” sitting in the balcony. Competitive intramural athletic program. A Lasting H-SC Value: Spending four wonderful years in a small college atmosphere where you knew everyone; with a high percentage of H-SC graduates as faculty or administrators; with friendly, helpful students, administrators and professors (from a young, creative William Hoffman to the elder, venerated, altruistic P. T.

Shazam – we had a new room on the fourth floor of Cushing Third Passage for one of the suffering roommates. We assigned it a room number (345?) and made sure the door closed safely and securely. Gene and I had to pass through it on the way out of our room, but that was not a problem. Several weeks later the Superintendent of Building and Grounds, Herman Duncan, happened to come into the area. He stopped in astonishment: “Where did THAT come from?” He rushed over to look at it, and discovered that Gene had carefully used only wedges to secure it. The walls were not pierced or damaged.

A. Hubbard, Jr. and his family; he is still my dentist. Pix in 1958 Kaleidoscope, p, 42, top left.

It’s hard to forget Professor Hoffman’s grading policy on misplaced commas (it served me well). I try to forget having to memorize an entire textbook for Dr. Overcash (I can’t). Professor Elmo Firenze’s exclamation “Mon Petit Chou” still brings a grin. Who can forget the beauty of Hampden-Sydney College? Most of all, my memories are living ones. The people that I met are my friends today some 50 years later. I am indeed privileged. Hampden-Sydney is The Land of Giants.

Miles Linton, granddaughter Alissa (age 8) and Frances Linton Favorite H-SC Memory: The group on the 2nd floor of Venable Hall in the semesters of 1954-1955; studying in the library; going to the “Boxwood” for snacks; card games that went on for hours, if not days, in Jim Trammell’s and Darden Towe’s room; an auto wreck—I was driving, Herb Seay and Ron Henry were passengers. I wrecked at the “corner”; Ron was thrown from the car but suffered only minor injuries; Herb and I, if memory is correct, suffered only a few bruises. Lasting H-SC Values: 1 - The value of responsibility and accountability. Without learning of these, I would not have had as much success in life as I’ve had. I have attempted to pass these values on to my children. 2 - Not taking responsibility for applying myself at H-SC resulted in my early departure, something I regret deeply. Since my departure, I’ve attempted to live by the lesson I failed to apply at H-SC: ALWAYS BE ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE IN LIFE. 1958 Kaleidoscope, p. 41, bottom right THEN SAMUEL AMES “SAM” NOCK 23381 Cross Street, Accomac, Virginia 23301 [email protected] H: 757-787-3959 Spouse: Evelyn, married 47 years Children: William, Christian, Anthony, and Allen “George,” H-SC Class of 1996.

Dr. Thompson would apologize for disturbing his rest when he got up to write something on the chalkboard. A Lasting H-SC Value: The bond of camaraderie forged with one’s classmates was so strong that even though I was a student at Hampden-Sydney College for only two years, I felt that if ever I needed assistance I could turn to them for aid and not be rebuffed. This was proven thirty years later when my wife and I founded Hebron Community, Inc., a residential facility for profoundly retarded adults. I wrote a letter of appeal for funds to each of my classmates and was gratified by the overwhelming response of monetary gifts and good will from them, most of whom I had not seen since I left the H-SC campus.

It started innocently with several of us on the hall and spread throughout most of Venable. With water The “Meador Herd” standing in the halls and running down the stairs, someone called Mr. P. T. Atkinson. He was spotted on his way into the dorm, and so we all fled to our rooms. He immediately came to our floor and opened Darden Towe’s door, who was naked and pushing water out of his room under the door. Mr. P. T. asked if he knew anything about the water fight. Darden replied, “No Sir” and kept pushing water. Mr. P. T. then came across the hall to Sam Nock’s and my room, where he found us sitting at our desks with towels wrapped around us and studying. Mr. P. T. looked at us and said, “Get it cleaned up.” We did, and the rest of Venable did. Fortunately, there were no consequences. Lasting H-SC Values: Hampden-Sydney taught me how to live, function, and react in a community with other people. This experience prepared me for my life’s work which was teaching and living in a boarding school community for forty-four years. Hampden-Sydney provided me with friendships which have lasted a lifetime. Classmates such as Jim Trammell and John Waters, among many others, have remained very close and supportive friends over the years. I am grateful for these benefits as well as important values such as honor, discipline, commitment, and loyalty, which Hampden-Sydney instilled in me. 1956 Kaleidoscope, as a sophomore, p. 67, row 2, last on row Mr. P.
