John Peyton McGuire Boyd, Richmond, Va., gave the valedictory address. David James Anderson of Portsmouth, Va., was the recipient of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion, presented to “that senior who has distinguished himself for excellence of character and generous service to his fellows.” William Sidney Druen, Farmville, Va., was the recipient of the Gammon Cup, awarded annually to “the member of the graduating class who has best served the College in character, scholarship, and athletic ability.” The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion was also presented to Dr. Hinton Baxter Overcash, professor of biology at Hampden-Sydney College, who joined the faculty in 1922. The award is given to one “who has been conspicuously helpful to and associated with the institution in its effort to encourage and preserve a high standard of morals.” Honorary degrees were conferred upon the following, with these citations: ERWIN HOGE WILL, Chairman of the Board of the Virginia Electric & Power Company, Richmond, Va., DOCTOR OF SCIENCE: “This morning your words have enlightened us. In so doing you have symbolized the impact of your life. As engineer, general manager, president, and chairman of the board of the Virginia Electric and Power Company, you have not only brought light literally all over Virginia (even in these last days to that western part of Hampden-Sydney’s Via Sacra, familiarly known as “Black Bottom”) but also figuratively as you have demonstrated that an engineer can be an effective leader in business and community affairs. Your service as a member of the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, as president of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, as a member of the National Industrial Conference Board illustrates the wide breadth of your interests and the willingness with which you have given your life to others.” ROBERT EDWIN WITHERS, JR., Episcopal minister, Farmville, Va., DOCTOR OF DIVINITY: “Yours has been a widely diverse life: soldier, business man, minister. You have served churches with distinction in South Carolina and in Virginia. But we know you best for your life with us. Normally the distinguished service of men is of the sort that brings plaudits of press and public, that lifts those who served to fame and popular acclaim. Without belittling that kind of service, we rejoice to honor what you have done in quietly moving among us to meet the needs of individuals and community. To enumerate your deeds is not possible, for even your closest friends do not know them all. But where the ministry of the Church could be given, where encouragement of a friend was wanted, where the assistance of civic concern 4 was called for, there you have been. You could have lived in plenty and without concern for others. You chose to give yourself and your means to others.” BUFORD SCOTT, senior partner—Scott & Stringfellow, Richmond, Va., DOCTOR OF LAWS: “You bring distinction and honor to your native state. Your integrity and acumen in the world of finance have secured for you’re the respect reserved for those who serve nobly and well and have gained for the firm of Scott & Stringfellow international renown. With equal effectiveness and devotion you have distinguished yourself for service to the Church, to the community, and to education. Time prohibits an enumeration of all that you have done; but we would be remiss if we failed to note your service as chairman of the boards of two fine educational institutions in Virginia, Sweet Briar College and the Medical College of Virginia. The highest praise I can give is to quote the words of President R. Blackwell Smith, Jr., of the Medical College of Virginia, when he describes you as ‘one of Virginia’s most distinguished advocates for higher education and one of our most beloved board members.’” Mr. Edwin Hoge Will in his address to the Hampden-Sydney graduates said: “Great changes have taken place in our country since 1776 when Hampden-Sydney opened its doors. No country has been able to match our overall progress. There is no need for additional statistics as we all realize that even our lowest income group is better off than the average of all the other peoples of the world. We have every reason to reflect with pride on our material accomplishments, but have we made a similar record in the area of moral, spiritual, and humanitarian progress? This is the challenge for your generation. “Mere numbers have never been an object of Hampden-Sydney; rather, major emphasis has been on character and academic standing. You now have a basic education that will be invaluable in your future training in whatever profession you undertake.” Mr. Will stressed to the students that their education should not be terminated at the beginning of one’s life work, but actively continued throughout life as a necessary asset in meeting the rapidly changing times and developments. “You will find, as others have, that in many lines of business it is not so much what you know, but rather how you apply what you know and what results you are able to produce. What will enable you to receive a higher degree of success? The initiative, the determination, and the extra ten percent that you should devote to thinking, planning, and effort.” In closing, Mr. Will reminded the seniors: “So live your life in such a way that you help to pass on to your children and others a better and freer world by leading a Christian life and by doing those things you know to be right. “In the history of mankind there arise crises which test the greatness of men and, invariably, each generation has come forward with those leaders who have guided our destinies. Your generation will be no exception.” Following commencement exercises, a buffet luncheon was served in Winston Hall. Special guests of the 188th commencement were members of the classes of 1888 to 1914 and the class of 1924. 5 THEN NOW MR. LOUIS P.

Undergraduate Degree: BA Currently: Working Professional History: Daily newspaper reporter followed by 40 years in corporate communications. Now writing on my own (recently published a memoir, WAR BABY) and handling several public relations accounts.

I then joined the public relations staff of Dominion Virginia Power (then known as Virginia Electric and Power Company). During these years I served in the active Army Reserve (80th Division). My business life continued in the corporate communications field for several companies over nearly 40 years. Married and divorced with two great kids and five amazing grandchildren.

Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: To single out any one incident that occurred at Hampden-Sydney during our time is difficult. So many funny, improbable, seemingly impossible events occurred that it is hard to single out one. However, a specific event has always struck in my mind and involved one of our favorite activities, water bagging, and one of the most skilled of water baggers, George Perkins. George’s command post was the hall window of the third floor of the First Passage of Cushing Hall. The window was open, no screen, and George could lean out and find many targets of opportunity. One day after class, when many of us were returning to Cushing for afternoon study, George was on Duty leaning out the window with an ample supply of ammunition. Unbeknownst to George, trouble was brewing in First Passage where Freddy Reed, Class of 1963, must have decided enough was enough. Freddy filled a trashcan with water, got out on Cushing’s roof, and made his way along the roof to the roof of First Passage. At this point you will have guessed what happened. Freddy was on the roof, above the unsuspecting George with a trashcan full of water. Freddy poured the water on George and left him speechless, a condition that did not often occur with George. Water bagging was on all season sport at H-SC. And no one was as active and talented as George. However, for one Undergraduate Degree: BA Currently: Retired Professional History: Bond trading at United Virginia Bank and Davenport & Co. from 1967 to 1998, specializing in municipal bonds. Military Service Branch: U.S. Navy Military Service Rank: Lt. JG Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: • St. James’s Episcopal Vestry • Hampden-Sydney Board 2004–2008 • Little League Soccer and Baseball coach H-SC Value: I received a fine education, made great life-long friends, and have continued to enjoy events, parties, and 8 day, George was bested. Sadly, both George and Freddy are no more. They did set a high standard for us all. Most of the stories we will tell here relate to the adventurous side of our stay at Hampden-Sydney. Rat races, road trips, the Cushing International Races (CIR), etc. All of these exciting tales should not obscure the real reason we all came to Hampden-Sydney — to receive an education, obtain a degree, and prepare ourselves for participation in the real world. The academic side of H-SC posed a number of hurdles for us. Perhaps the major hurdle was deciding whether to pursue the BA or BS degree. Roughly 60% of our class chose the BA path, a route without too many afternoon labs, thereby affording time for trips to the College Shop, the Taxi Stand, and to Longwood, often in that order. To obtain the BS degree a scholar was required to take Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. For the BA degree only two of the three were needed. To avoid very difficult H-SC classes, summer school was an attractive option. Many of us took Chemistry at Madison, thereby avoiding Dr. Miller, and some of us took Biology at the University of Richmond in avoidance of Mr. Overcash. I took Biology at Richmond in the summer of 1962 and the first question posed to the class by the professor was, “Is there anyone here from Hampden-Sydney?” I spoke up in the affirmative and feel that answer assured a passing grade. So the science problem was solvable with careful selection of classes, professors, and venues. Another problem for some of us was Algebra — another necessary evil for graduation. The solution here was offered by Dr. Elliot, who returned from a stroke and taught Algebra our Senior year. Most of us who needed the class passed. Throughout our stay at H-SC we were fortunate in having professors who would give help where needed and realized that a good lawyer need not be a Calculus whiz or fluent in German. We also had a Classical Language requirement. Most of us took Latin, giving many of us exposure to Dr. Graves Thompson, certainly one of the finest and kindest of professors. A few hardy souls, usually pre-ministerial students, took Greek. Sadly the Classical Language requirement was eliminated in the early 1970s. Philosophy was also a requirement for the BA degree and many of us were in Dr. Allan’s class. I was thoroughly confused most of the time, but have one memory worth relating. The story may or may not be true (I think it is), but an H-SC contemporary of ours, not in the Class of 1964, was reputed to come to class, wait while Dr. Allan checked him on the roll, then casually jump out the window at the back of the class room True or not, it’s a good story and quite possible. We all took a broad range of classes at H-SC. I have always enjoyed telling non H-SC acquaintances that I took so many different and interesting classes — ranging from German to Philosophy to Differential Equations to Shakespeare, Did we graduate as ‘Jacks of all Trades, Masters of None?’ I think not. The world is a complicated place, much more so in 2014 than in 1964, and our stay at HampdenSydney, with its wide range of classes and experiences, well prepared us for coping with it. Three words or phrases that come to mind when thinking of Hampden-Sydney in the early 1960’s are Austerity, Imagination, and a Deck of Cards. We all encountered austerity in our time in Venable, Graham, and Cushing. In Cushing’s First and Fourth Passages the showers were located on the first floor of a four story building. I don’t remember where the showers were in Second and third passages, nor do I recall their locations in Graham and Venable. My most vivid memory of Venable is the very lengthy and very noisy Fourth Floor. The Fourth Floor was not good for sleep or study, but was great for making friends. Amenities — who needed amenities at Hampden-Sydney?? I used to say that all I took to Hampden-Sydney was a foot locker and a toothbrush — perhaps an exaggeration, but if you add in a cake of soap and a towel, you have what sustained most of us. And television — I do not remember anyone with a TV in their room. When one of the new Carpenter Dorms opened on a football weekend, I wandered in and encountered a student. I asked how he liked his new air conditioned dormitory. His response was “It’s OK, but they haven’t hooked up the Cable TV.” What about imagination? Well, in austere conditions, Imagination is a great aid to survival. And H-SC abounded in imaginative young men. As a freshman I remember observing a foursome drinking coffee in the Venable commons. Included in the group were Charlie Sears, Charlie Hubbard, Tom Andrews, and Don Swift. What they were discussing (plotting is probably the better term) was not for a lovely freshman to know. But imagination was at work there. And imagination was always at work with students asking professors to delay a test or assignment. And imagination was certainly needed when persuading Mrs. Ward that we were too ill to go to class on test day. Imagination was not absolutely necessary for survival at H-SC, but it helped. Finally, how does a “Deck of Cards” fit in? Bridge and Poker were always available at H-SC and my feeling is that the great majority of good card players at H-SC have done well in life. The good card players did not all pursue good grades, but the mental agility acquired and required in Bridge and Poker served them well over the years. When I arrived at H-SC, upperclassmen Charles Sears and Art Matney invited Freshmen into the Poker Game. It took me about a half hour to realize who the winners (Charles and Art) and losers (most of the Freshmen participants) were. As to Bridge, I was an occasional participant when a threesome could find no other Fourth. My main problem was not realizing that Bridge and 9 Beer were not good partners. The result was often an inability to distinguish the Hearts from the Diamonds. To summarize, life was much simpler in the early 1960s than it is now. We succeeded because we did not view our living conditions as austere, and we used our imaginations. And, lastly, some of us knew what to do with a Deck of Cards! 10 THEN NOW MR. MICHAEL D. CAVER 62 Ravenwood Hills Circle Nashville, Tennessee 37215 Home: (615) 775-3712 • [email protected] Spouse: Ann K. Caver, married 50 years Children: 7 grands: N IL., Portland, OR & Nashville; ages 5 months–13 years old research with/for Dr. Miller in the chem lab and later working there as one of my part time jobs, (2) seminars in homes of professors and (3) remarkably, having dates for special weekends stay in professors’ homes! Undergraduate Degree: BS—Modern European History Currently: Retired H-SC Value: 1. Though it only became apparent over time (that is more than a “catchphrase”) the extraordinary benefits of a liberal arts education. 2. Focus on basics of English, history & literature of different countries, opportunity to be highly flexible in focus of studies (e.g. my B.S. in Modern European History and lacking only one other course for a minor in Religion). 3. How especially unique it was to live in a culture where we could trust one another not to “lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who did.” Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Like most of us my fondest memories are of fellow students in all class levels. With only slightly over 400 total in ’60–’64 while I was on campus, it was possible to know (at least by name) a significant portion. A unique memory which will stick with me forever is the close interaction with faculty, e.g. (1) doing low level 11 THEN NOW MR. WILLIAM BATES CHAPPELL 4409 kensington Ave Richmond, VA 23221 Home: (804) 353-7615 • Business: (804) 359-1240 • Cell: (804) 370-1294 • [email protected] Spouse: Margaret C. Chappell, married 49 years Children: Daughter—Mary Margaret Chappell—Cooking Editor for Vegetarian Times Son—William B. Chappell, Jr.—Managing Director and Research Analyst with Suntrust/Robinson Humphrey Granddaughter—Finley H. Chappell—age 6 bonds. For a period I was the OTC trader there making net markets in local stocks. In 1972 I left Craigie and joined the NYSE firm of Branch, Cabell & Co to sell stocks and bonds. In 1974 with the stock market at all time lows and Watergate, I left the brokerage business and joined United VA Bank as a Trust Representative to sell trust and investment management services. After several years I transferred over to personal trust as a trust officer where I handled trust, custody and agency accounts and settled estates. With my investment background, I transferred to the investment advisory division of United VA Bank known as Capitoline, Inc. to handle individual, corporate and foundation accounts. In 1990, I joined the investment advisory firm of Kanawha Capital Management as Managing Director. When I joined the firm it had $80 MM under management and it has grown to $750MM now, and I am still employed managing client assets, handling clients family financial matters and managing private foundations. Undergraduate Degree: BS Currently: Working Professional History: 2 days after graduating from H-SC, I enlisted in the US Coast Guard Reserve for 6 years to complete my required military obligation. I was sent to Boot Camp at Cape May, NJ for 3 months. Upon completion of Boot Camp, I was assigned to the US Coast Guard Cutter Tanager for Atlantic Sea duty for three months, and then spent 5 1/2 years in the active reserve and received my honorable discharge in 1970. In Dec of ’64, I joined First & Merchants National Bank in their officer training program which I applied for on campus. I was a loan officer and credit analyst there for 3 years. While at First &Merchants I took graduate courses at University of Richmond evening school in Economics, Investment Analysis, Accounting and Marketing. In 1968 I joined Craigie, Inc. as an investment broker selling stocks and Military Service Branch: U.S.Coast Guard Military Service Rank: BM2 or E-5 Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: • Teacher and Supt of Sunday School @ First Presbyterian Church.

It also taught me to study hard and persevere in courses I did not like such as French, German, Old Testament and Calculus. I received a good background and interest in History from Dr. Coyner which is still one of my interests. I majored in Biology under Overcash and spend time and enjoyment in that area of learning. I missed having studies in finance, accounting and investment analysis which is now available at H-SC. I earmark many of my college gifts to the Business studies area. Special Honors or Recognition: US Coast Guard —Honorable Discharge New York Institute of Finance — Certificate of Completion Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: Margaret and I have been happily married for 49 years. We have enjoyed raising our children and seeing them be successful in their professional endeavors.

We have a second home on Dymer Creek of the Chespeake Bay near White Stone, VA and have survived the two hurricanes of Isabel and Ernesto. We spend a lot of time there boating, swimming and fishing. I have built two ponds and have stocked them with fish. I enjoy fly and spin cast fishing in those ponds. 13 THEN NOW MR. MICHAEL T.

WILLIAM SIDNEY DRUEN, SR. 85 East Deshler Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43206 Home: (614) 444-7655 • Business: (614) 579-4884 • Cell: (614) 579-4884 • [email protected] Spouse: Mrs. Janet Ward Druen, married 44 years Children: Two children - Courtney Paige Druen New York City, Fashion Business - Rev.

Kit Cat Club member. H-SC Value: My freshman year two prominent seniors were asked to leave because of Honor Code violations. One was cheating and the other knew and did not report it. I had not thought specifically about the Honor Code until that event. I came to view the Hampden-Sydney Honor Code as a standard and to realize that basic fairness and honesty were important values to me. I think they were values I have adopted and have stayed with me. Undergraduate Degree: BA Advanced Degrees: LLB Currently: Retired Professional History: After law school at the University, I worked briefly in the Virginia Governor’s Office before moving to Columbus, Ohio, to work for the Nationwide Insurance Companies as a “Jr. Attorney” (a title I later abolished from the staff titles). I spent my 30 year legal career with Nationwide, taking early retirement from the position of Senior Vice President and General Counsel. Special Honors or Recognition: 1963 Co-Captain H-SC Football Team, 1964 Gammon Cup, 1964 BA HampdenSydney College, 1968 LLB University of Virginia Law School 1970 Married Janet E.

Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: Member of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, trustee of the Ohio Historical Society Development Committee, President of University Club of Columbus, board member of the Franklin County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: Having been raised in Farmville and attending Hampden-Sydney I spent my first 25 years close to home. Football away games were the extent of my travel. As a transactional lawyer with the Nationwide Companies I traveled extensively in the US. Since my 16 retirement wanderlust has really kicked in, and I have traveled to over 70 countries — but who is counting. I guess being a Farmville resident was not the travel inhibitor I once thought it was. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: So many memories from the CIR to Three-and-a-half. One of the things that I remember is the bell that started and ended each class. It was rung by hand. If you were running late to class the bell ringer would see you hurrying toward Morton Hall and continue to ring the bell an extra long time to be sure you could be in class (and not tardy) before the bell stopped. On one occasion a student beside me in Dr. Graves Thompson’s Latin Class was asked to translate in class. Using a translation that we students referred to as a pony, he used the word “thrice” in his translation. Dr. Thompson asked him what “thrice” meant. Unable to define thrice, the student was urged by Dr. Thompson to “Ride on.” The class exploded in laughter. 17 THEN NOW MR. DONALD R. FORD, JR. 621 Farnham Circle N.

Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: My freshman year when my fellow classmates barricaded themselves in a room in order to avoid hazing from upper classmen. I did not participate in the hazing since I was on the football team.

Several times at H-SC we were reminded that it was working when we heard the bell ring at midnight. After college, I went to Rutgers University to get a banking degree and one of the requirements was to write a thesis. I was appalled to hear some of the students freely admit to having someone write their thesis and not have a whit of guilt about it. There was no honor code in place there. I am proud that H-SC has retained this tradition of honor. Undergraduate Degree: BA, History Currently: Retired Professional History: Recruited on campus by Humble Oil, now Exxon Mobil, but soon switched careers to banking in Norfolk. Had a 34 year career starting as management trainee and ending as Executive VP–Retail. I had numerous fulfilling positions along the way as the bank grew and changed names from Seaboard Citizens to United VA to Crestar to Suntrust. Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: Cindy and I have traveled broadly before and after retirement. We often took and still do take, our daughter along and we especially like visiting developing countries and learning about other cultures. We recently visited Malayasia, Viet Nam, and Cambodia. Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: As expected, banks encouraged their people to get involved in the community. I volunteered and had leadership positions in Rotary, Kiwanis, United Way, Virginia Stage Company, Urban League. I was also active in the VA Beach Jaycees and then the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce serving as Chairman of the VA Beach division. For many years, I participated in H-SC phone-a-thons to raise money for the general fund. After retirement, I have been particularly active as the founding chairman of the Friends of the Middle River, helping to preserve and protect the river. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: I have too many memories and stories to pick just one. As a freshman, we were assigned to guard the campus the night before the Macon game. Several of us were at the intramural field entrance to the campus, stopping cars to ensure no Macon boys were trying to paint the road. A couple of the townies from Farmville rode up, a bit drunk, and when we stopped them, one of them pulled a shotgun on us. It was a tense moment until Jim Douthat jumped the guy and wrestled the shotgun away, but not before it discharged in the ground. On a lighter note, we had wonderful living room concerts at the KA house and one of the best was when Bo Diddley played. Great fun and a great recruiting tool for new pledges. H-SC Value: The honor code was and still is a value I will always cherish. I had attended a day prep school before attending college and it had the same code so I was prepared 19 THEN NOW MR.

I majored in History and believe it or not I stayed away from Bagby and never entered the building. All my math and science courses were either at Longwood or Roanoke College. I thank H-SC for giving me a well rounded education and I tell potential students that the biggest problem a college student has is not the courses but making the best use of his free time. No parents around to tell you when to study. H-SC provides a top notch education and makes one realize just how important a good education is. Learning doesn’t stop at H-SC but learning continues after we graduate. Undergraduate Degree: BA Advanced Degrees: BSBA Denver University Currently: Retired Professional History: Food Service Dept. — Natural Bridge of Virginia Inc. Asst. Manager — K&W Cafeteria Roanoke, Va. Food Broker — Commonwealth Brokers of Va. Sales — United Health Care Special Honors or Recognition: Eagle Scout — Boy Scouts of America Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: After graduating from H-SC I went to Denver University and got a degree in Business. After graduation and before I could drive back to Roanoke I was drafted and spent the next two years on active duty. One in the U.S. and one year as a cook in the 9th Infantry Division. On the flight over to Vietnam, we stopped to refuel in Hawaii, Midway Island, and the Philappines I knew then that I wanted to get back to this part of the world when I got out of the service. Once out of the service I took a trip to the South Military Service Branch: ARMY — 9th Infantry Div. Military Service Rank: E-5 Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: • Hospital Services — Red Cross • Reader — WVTF Radio reading service 24 Pacific and one of my favorite places was the island of Tonga. Tonga was the last territory to be released from British control. The people there are known as the friendly people. I stayed at the International Dateline Hotel. This island is close to the international dateline and you could be walking on the beach on a given day and look out at the ocean and be looking at the next day. The hotel had a flat roof and on the top of the roof there must have been 10 flag poles spread apart about 12 feet. When I arrived at the hotel I didn’t notice until after I checked in that the only flag flying was the American Flag and was being flown in my honor. I was the only guest at the hotel therefore there were no other flags flying. Two days later a couple from Australia checked in and the Australian flag was flying beside Old glory. When I checked out the cab driver had me look out the window at the hotel and I noticed the flag was being lowered that was flown in my honor. I will never forget it and said to the cab driver “they will never believe this back in the states.” Oh I forgot to mention 50 years prior to my visit these people inTonga were cannibalistic. Fortunately I did not end out in some huge pot with potatoes floating next to my ears. I made a trip to Jamaica and stayed on the opposite side from Kingston. There was no major airport. I was scheduled to leave on a certain day and was told that day was a national holiday and the small airport near by was closed. However one plane would stop over at a certain time and I was to walk out on the runway and flag the plane down as he flew over or otherwise the pilot may not land. There was no one at the airport when I got there and I did what I was told. Talking about feeling awkward and alone. As I said the airport was closed and I stood out on the runway alone. Being early morning there was nobody working and again it was a national holiday. So I sat down on my suit case and waited about 20 minutes out on the runway. The pilot did land and there were two people in the back seat and the pilot and myself in the front. Once airborne the pilot asked me to hold on to the steering wheel (I guess you call it that) while he worked on his radio. He added don’t move the wheel in any direction and if we hit a rough draft he would take over. Just don’t move the wheel. I guess I flew that plane for several minutes and made the mistake of leaning over to look out the windows causing the steering wheel to move forward which caused the plane to take a little dive. The pilot took the wheel and I did hear softly from him a few choice words. My flying experience was over. I have been fortunate over the last 50 years. I have seen many parts of the world and there have been many places I have not seen. I learned we live in the greatest country in the world. Poverty — we have no poverty in this country compared to many places. Our poor people live like kings compared to many people in the world. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: During the months of January and February when I was at H-SC not much went on socially during this time of the year. Unlike the fall of the year there was no Homecoming, Football Games or Parents Weekends so my fraternity — Lambda Chi Alpha — would have a record party on Saturday nights — we would get our dates from Longwood, bring them out to the house — and then return them to Longwood at the proper time. This got to be a routine, such that somebody — not me — suggested that we play ‘PIG NIGHT’. We were to go to Longwood and get the ugliest girls we could find and bring them out to the house. We would not embarrass the girls in front of them and after returning them to Longwood come back to the house and see who won. Well we learned that you can’t judge a book by the cover. We all admitted we had a good time and there was this guilty feeling. We really had a nice time. All we had to do was keep what we did a secret. There was nothing confidential then as there is nothing confidential today. Somebody spilled the beans and the word got back to Longwood and we were black balled for several weeks. Two months I think. I do remember one of the brothers going to Longwood and picking up his date at South Cunningham and he got drenched with water balloons on his way up the steps to the entrance. Not all of the brothers took part. Some left campus for the weekend but the ones who stayed probably wished they had gone after the beating we took at Longwood. 25 THEN NOW MR.

Playing on basketball team for 3 years. CUSHING INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY In the spring of 1962, some of the first passage lads of Cushing Dormitory had a new idea for entertainment. Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: • Kiwanis Club, 9 years • Read to 1st graders twice a month • Third Presbyterian Church: Usher, • 55ers Golf Group • Blazers Golf Group 26 With a bit of preliminary planning, a date was set to have car races around the oval parking lot and driveway in front of Cushing. The cars would start at the fork of the driveway leading to the dormitory and finish at the fork. All cars that were parked in front of Cushing had to be moved to another location. The first year’s race had about seven or eight contestants who raced the oval one at a time. Fontaine Lawson was the flag man who was assisted by a clock man to determine the winner. It was quite exciting watching the contestants speed around the oval. The first year’s race was so successful that we followed it with another race a year later. As the picture notes, Fontaine the Flag Man was waving Fearless Freddie Reed to a run. The absolute highlight, however, was when George Macon entered the race in his blue two door Nash Rambler. His co-pilot was Skipper Beck. George peeled out from the start line racing past Cushing and entering the hairpin turn at the end of the parking lot. Wanting to break the C.I.R. record, George went firing into the turn! So fast was the Rambler going that it flipped over and came to a rest upside down! The crowd was speechless and fearing the worst! Before the spectators could arrive at the scene, George and Skipper climbed out and waved to the crowd. That was quite a finish to the second annual C.I.R. At the end of my sophomore year (1962). I got a crazy idea to peroxide my hair. I did this after exams while awaiting my mother’s arrival to pick me up for a VA Beach vacation. When she pulled up to Cushing, I leaned out of the window and waved. I thought she was going to crash the car! From a normal light brown to a bright yellow, I must have looked really weird! My Mother, of course, was shocked and quite upset. When we arrived in Richmond, she took me to a Thalheimer’s beauty salon to rectify the situation. Having one of those hairdryer contraptions over my head was humiliating! It worked, however, until the next day. After jumping into the ocean, the salt and sunshine brought out another color! It took a month and a half to get back to normal!! I played basketball my first three years. I did not start or play that much, as I was not one of the stars. I do remember getting into a game late against Fort Lee in their Invitational Tournament. I had to guard none other than Lenny Wilkins who later played in the Pro’s and ultimately coached a Pro team! He was quick as a cat and left me behind! That was quite an experience. 27 THEN NOW MR.

During my junior year I had quite an experience with my one foray into school sports. One of the members of the wrestling team was injured, and somehow I was drafted to take his place. Coach Fulton had me practice for a week, all the while losing weight from my already skinny body to make the weight class. Children: Rob — family currently lives in Switzerland Laura — family lives in Charleston, WV Scott — family lives in Decatur, GA When the night came for the match I was primed and ready to go. Then it all became a surreal experience, seemingly in slow motion. Just as I was going out onto the mat, coach told me that my opponent was the division champion. At the same time my brother, Jamie ’66, and assorted friends started stomping the stands and yelling for me as though I was some sort of big deal wrestler. My champion opponent kept looking over his shoulder wondering who is this guy! For my part all I could think was holy cow (only it wasn’t “cow”), what have I gotten myself into?

GEORGE FAIRFAX PERKINS * Deceased, 2011 Memory provided by McGuire Boyd George Fairfax Perkins was one of the most popular and fun loving members of our Class. George came to H-SC from Petersburg High School for early football practice in 1960 and was an outstanding player for four years. He served as co-captain with Sidney Druen his senior year. George was a member of PIKA and he and Tom Wood were roommates for four years. While at H-SC George managed to find time for hunting, especially during deer season. George was an outdoorsman in all respects and once left school to fight a major forest fire in Bedford County. George and his high school sweetheart, Janice, were married in June, 1964 and lived at H-SC for several years after graduation while George served as an assistant football coach. For a while Janice and George lived in the Alamo, which has since been razed. During this time George began his career in insurance and financial services. After a few years at H-SC, George moved to Charlottesville and expanded his financial activities into Perkins Financial Services. Janice and George’s family grew during these years with son Paul, daughter Whitney, and a number of grandchildren. About 10 years ago, Janice and George moved to a house that George built on the outskirts of Gordonsville. For all these years George was a faithful supporter of Hampden-Sydney, especially in attendance at football games and Alumni College. Unfortunately, George contracted a rare blood disease, eventually succumbing in August, 2011. Janice also passed away, about 18 months later, in February of 2013.

Undergraduate Degree: BS Advanced Degrees: DDS Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: The old “Rat Race”: we freshmen had endured several of these so some of us decided to make it exciting. We barricaded ourselves in a room in the middle section of Venable Hall on the third floor. We piled up a bed spring and two mattresses through which we poked broom handles at anyone who got close to the doorway. We had turned the tables!! They finally got to us by chopping a hole in the ceiling and coming into the room. Time for that “Rat Race” had expired! As you can imagine there were some loud noises from administration: there was a room with a hole in the ceiling + they were really upset because the ax from the local fire truck was used to make that hole!!

Undergraduate Degree: BA Currently: Retired Professional History: I was invited to go into management training for Francis I duPont in 1970 after 2 years in sales. When I reported to training in NY I was advised that the program had been shut down due to a lack of funds. I worked in several different departments for seven months. Then on the morning of Thanksgiving Eve 1970, I was told not to report to work on Friday because the company has gone out of business. Later in the same day I received a call that I was to report to work on Friday as Ross Perot had taken over the company. This was the first year of a 38-year career in branch management, almost all of which was with Smith Barney in NY City. I retired in 2010, after which I did brief stint as Director of Branch Development for UBS. Now I am president of my own consulting company. Special Honors or Recognition: Smith Barney manager of the year. Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: I have traveled to many countries by land, air and sea.

Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Four of us were sitting out front of Cushing Hall waiting for our ride to Florida for spring break, when the phone rang. I came back and told my three friends that the guys from William and Mary that were going 39 to drive us, were not able to go. We looked around and realized that we were the last people on campus. One of my friends said the trip is over and he is going home. I said wait a minute, all we need is a car. I was reminded that everyone had left. I knew the guys in the kitchen had not gone. I went over and asked the few remaining if anyone had a car I could borrow for a few days. Jimmy said he had a car that was very old next to a very old house. I asked Jimmy to sign on a scrap of paper that I had permission to drive his car. He said he could not write. My reply was that an x would be sufficient. We were elated to have “wheels”, until we saw the car. It was awful, with a trunk that would not shut and stuck in 6 inches of mud, and no battery. We found a battery and told the dozen children who had gathered around, to step back as we prepared to start the car. The engine roared, and from the rear of the car came a plume of blue smoke that engulfed every one, to the delight of all the children. We proceeded to the junk yard to get six out of date license tags that we hooked onto the trunk with a coat hanger. Their were some issues with the car. The tires were bald, we replaced eight tires that went flat, with used tires we found behind gas stations. It burnt a lot of oil. We put 32 quarts of used oil in the car. The fact that a sharp push on the gas caused the back seat area to fill up with blue smoke was very helpful in my effort to control those recalcitrant passengers who had been over served. When we rolled into Daytona it was early evening and our headlights did not work. The police pulled us over and asked to see the registration. I gave him the scrap of paper with the x. He did not look too pleased after seeing this, and less so when he looked in the trunk and noticed six way out-of-date license plates from six different states. The officer said we were to follow him to the station. As the police started to enter the parking lot, their battery died. We all jumped out and pushed their car into the lot. Both officers were very happy and said that we did not have to come into the station, but they insisted that we get our car off of the street. One of our fraternity brothers asked me if he could get a ride back in our car. I said better than that, why don’t you drive it back—and he did. I found another ride with someone driving a Volkswagon and had a very long nap in the back seat. 40 THEN NOW THE REV. LOUIS A. SKIDMORE 2 Parsons Lane Natural Bridge, VA 24578-9737 Home: (540) 291-1355 • [email protected] Family Life: Wife, Nancy, died on December 15, 2011 Children, Marylou and Alex and she finally agreed that we should go as a family and rent our house, in case I was unsuccessful in my studies. I contacted Hampden-Sydney, and the Dean of Admissions suggested that I come to take some tests and be interviewed. We made the trip in June, and while we were there we rented a house from P. T. Atkinson, subject to my being accepted as a student. I took the College Boards, told them that I had made 2 A’s and 2 B’s on my college courses in Hagerstown, and in a few weeks Dean Crawley called and told me that I had been accepted at Hampden-Sydney, and I told him that I would be there in August for football practice. He advised against it, and said that I would have all I could do to keep up with my class work; but, I told him that I would need the exercise and had always dreamed of playing football and baseball in college. I sold my business, we rented our house to a schoolteacher, and in August of 1960, we loaded our furniture on two of my trucks and headed for H-SC. The first person to greet me on campus, as I was unloading at the Atkinson property in Black Bottom, was Dr. Thomas Gilmer, the president of the College. He became a friend and confidant, and gave me good advice always. Practicing football twice daily was more than I Undergraduate Degree: BA, Cum Laude Advanced Degrees: Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, VA Currently: Retired Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: The Road to becoming a Presbyterian Minister…How God Worked It Out One evening my phone rang and it was my pastor, Reuben Sulc. He informed me that Henry P. Bridges had died and left a Trust Fund of $800,000 to educate anyone who wanted to go into the Presbyterian Ministry, all expenses paid. The stipulations were that the student must attend either Hampden-Sydney or Davidson College, and then go to Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA. That eliminated the first hurdle that I had to cross on the road to the ministry. I took classes at Hagerstown Junior College to convince myself and others that I could do college work. Nancy proposed that I go to Hampden-Sydney, and that she stay in Hancock for the first year to see how I did. I told her that would be unacceptable 41 had imagined. I was 34 years old and not accustomed to the heat, but I survived and dropped about 15 pounds and weighed in at 230 pounds before our first game in September. I was very disappointed that I did not make the starting team, warming the bench until our game at Bridgewater in October. At halftime of the Bridgewater game, we were losing 13–7, and in the locker room Stokley Fulton, our coach made a threatening speech to the starting team. He said that Bridgewater had never beaten HampdenSydney, and if our team did not score the first time we got the ball in the second half, that he was sending in the scrubs — that included me. We did not score, so he sent the scrubs in. We scored on the first play from scrimmage through the number 2 hole that the center and I opened up wide enough for a truck to go through. I can still feel the Bridgewater player trying to stop my forward and to the right surge, that ended when he hit the ground and I charged over the top of him, and our running back went 56 yards for a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, I was hit by two opposing players, determined, no doubt, to put me out of the game. One hit me low in the knees and the other gave me an elbow to the jaw. Blood was gushing out where my tooth had come out through my lip and cheek area. The first offensive team came on the field and as I trotted off, Dr. Moore came over to examine the extent of my injury. Two stitches and a band aide solved the problem and I was ready to go back into the game if needed. I was not needed, however, because we continued to lead in scoring and won the game by two touchdowns — but that was the last playing time for me in football at Hampden-Sydney. I played in the Freshman games, but not the varsity. Nancy heard that the reason was that the staff was afraid that I may be seriously injured, since I was “an old man” playing with boys. The winter of 1960–61 was spent in studying, fighting an asthmatic condition, trying to be a good husband and father, and wrestling and running to keep in shape for baseball in the spring and football in the fall. In the spring, having passed all my first semester subjects, I began baseball practice and make the starting team as a catcher-outfielder. The first game was in North Carolina at Davidson College. I played right field and had two hits, one of them a home run. I was the catcher in the next game and had two hits, a single and a double. The next game was at home against Harvard, and I was benched by Bill Pegram, our coach, for no reason that I knew. I fumed on the bench for 6 innings, and when I was called on the pinch hit in the last inning, I was so frustrated and I struck out. I did not need that kind of aggravation and humiliation, so that was the end of my baseball career. I quit, and the coach did not even ask me why! The first year of college was difficult, and I confessed to Dr. Lacey, the pastor at College Church and former President of Union Seminary in Richmond, that I was drying up spiritually. The Bible Course that I took was all academic, and left me disappointed and angry at the professor. Dr. Gilmer called me into his office to talk about the professor’s complaint against me that I was disturbing the class with my challenging him in regard to biblical inspiration, and the next Sunday in the Bible Class at College Church, Dr. Gilmer, the president of the College and the teacher of the class was challenged by the Bible professor, who claimed that Dr. Gilmer was interpreting the passage too literally. Dr. Gilmer asked the question of the professor, “Do I have to call you on Saturday before I teach on Sunday, so that I can be sure that a passage of scripture from the Bible is or is not to be taken literally?” I will always believe that Dr. Gilmer did that for my benefit, because when our conversation came to an end in his office he told me to keep doing what I was doing in the Bible Class. The solution to my spiritual dryness came a few weeks later when Dr. Lacey and a blind man named John Cunningham came to visit me to ask if I would become Student supply at four small churches in a cluster within a 10 mile radius of HampdenSydney. I began to preach twice a week, visit the sick and, with Nancy’s help, have a combined Youth Fellowship once a month. The first year at college was also a financial challenge. The schools were closed in Prince Edward and we had to pay tuition for our two children to attend school. The house we lived in, down in Black Bottom, was not fit for human habitation. Everything was moldy: shoes turned green in a few days if you kept them in the closet and there was always a musty smell. I worked in the Chemistry Lab in addition to the four Pamplin area Presbyterian churches. When Nancy received her portion from the sale of land inherited from her parents, we decided to use it as a down payment to build a house on campus. I continued to preach for the four churches until I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1964. We made a host of lifetime friends. After I retired I was asked to preach at one of those churches on the first Sunday of each month. I continued that service to Concord Presbyterian 42 Church for over 10 years. Only the good Lord could have worked it all out in 1961, to keep me in the bible, to give me the experience I needed in ministry at the time, and to confirm my call to the pastorate. Our English professor in the 60’s was always going around the class asking questions. If one student did not know the answer, he would go to the next, and then to the next, until someone knew the answer. Every time he asked a certain student he would not be able to answer, shake his head and say, “I have it in my notebook.” Finally, after about six times answering “I’ve got it in my notebook,” the professor replied: “One day you are going before the Judgment Bar and you will be asked: “Why should I let you into my heaven?” Your are going to answer, “I’ve got it in my notebook!” And, that answer will not be good enough.” 43 THEN NOW JUDGE CHARLES H. SMITH, JR. Willow Brook Farm, 8098 Crescent Dr., Glade Spring, Va. 24340, United States Home: (276) 429-4480 • Cell: (276) 356-9081 • [email protected] Children: Three children. Nine grandchildren. The general assembly established a system of “regional” juvenile and domestic relations courts in the late ’60s. When the Tenth Regional J&DR Court was established (covering two counties and a city in my area), I threw my name in the hat and was appointed. You lawyers will recall that WAY BACK THEN, you could still practice law and be a judge—except for courts of record. So, for several years, I practiced law and had three “judgeships”. In the early ’70s the law changed requiring all judges to be full time. I took the position on the J&DR bench. In 1985 a position became available on the circuit court. I put my name in the hat for it and was appointed by the governor (interim) and then elected by the general assembly. I held that position until my retirement in 2001. Since then I have been so busy I don’t know when I had time to work. I have continued to do designated court work for other judges throughout the commonwealth. (Was averaging about three days a week at that until recently when I realized I could “just say no”) Used to go to Staunton frequently to sit in for my good friend and colleague/classmate and fraternity brother, Judge Tom Wood. He was an excellent, well-respected judge. I also have my own mediation/arbitration business which I formed with another retired judge. I have been doing that, as well, since retirement. Undergraduate Degree: BA Advanced Degrees: JD Currently: Retired Professional History: Got a “Kennedy deferral” from the military, as I was surely headed to Viet Nam, and “walked on” at the University of Tennessee where a very sympathetic dean allowed me to enter his law school, though I had questionable credentials. His faith was restored when I graduated there in ’67. I went home, to Abingdon, VA, where a successful attorney, and member of the Virginia General Assembly, took me under his wing. I was given a cubby hole in between his office and that of the commonwealth’s attorney. I was fed cases from both sides. It was indoctrination by fire, but it served me well and paid the bills. I did the gamut; civil, criminal, domestic, real estate, wills, etc.—a typical small town practice back then. My mentor and I soon built us an office building a block from the courthouse. We enjoyed a very pleasant and successful practice together. WAY BACK THEN some towns had “Mayor’s Court.” (The mayors actually tried town offenses) I was soon hired to be the “judge” for towns of Abingdon and Damascus. I held court at night. 44 Civic Organizations/Volunteer Work: Considerable amount of time devoted to various charities and organizations (cancer fund, heart fund, athletic boosters, PTA, tobacco festival, electoral board, united fund, church board, historical society, etc.) Chaired them all at one time or another, but had to resign once I took the bench since most involved fund raising or politics. Also proud to have coached three children and their teams in basketball, football and baseball for numerous years. a drink and a snack. I remember well a tall black gentleman who used to walk about campus carrying an axe. His name was Francis. He just smiled and never said anything. We called him Francis the Axe Man. Some of the Kappa Sigs were known to take him with them to “The Wood” to pick up their date!! I will never forget us making the national news my first semester with the food fight in the commons. State police were called in. And do you guys remember the C I R? Cushing International Raceway. Yeah, guys used to race their cars around that circle. (You could always count on catching a “moon” or two from the upper windows of Cushing for added excitement!) Had a couple of rollovers, but “nobody got hurt.” Oh how I remember the frat parties—particularly after ballgames. Sometimes there was a band playing at every house. So much fun roaming from one to one with your date. Any of you guys remember the intramural field parking lot?? We won’t talk about that. And, yes, I do remember some things about the academics. Mostly that I was turned away from my lifelong ambition of becoming a doctor by the infamous Dr. Thompson’s freshman chemistry class. Oh well, they say everything happens for a reason. Guess he did me a favor. I remember “The Wood” so well. Spent enough time there to have received some kind of degree. And how about standing on the corner at the post office in Farmville in order to catch a ride back to “The Hill.” Never failed. H-SC Value: The H-SC honor system above all. It was instilled in us at orientation and made a lasting impression on me. Other schools have an honor system in name, but at H-SC it really works.(At least it did WAY BACK THEN.) My first semester three seniors were kicked out—two for cheating and one for not telling. Think that doesn’t make a lasting impression on an incoming freshman? I think the honor system helped make me a better person. Special Honors or Recognition: Chairman—Administrative Board Abingdon United Methodist Church. President—Abingdon Jaycees Outstanding young man of Washington County Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: Stay pretty close to home. Have not traveled much at all. Have gone to Colorado to ski for years. Went to the Baja for a week long dirt bike ride with my sons a few years back. (Always been a motorcycle enthusiast. Rode a Harley until recently.) Enjoy a reunion with my two old H-SC roomies, Nat Jobe and Mike Crone a couple of times a year. Not proud of my domestic record. Been married and divorced twice. Single now living alone with my dog. Three wonderful, successful children by my first wife. Guess my fondest memories over the past 50 years has been their births and watching them grow up, marry, succeed and give me grandchildren. Favorite H-SC Story or Memory: Too many to mention. I remember the freshman hazing—the beanies, the signs around our necks, the midnight runs to the “corner”, the licks on the butt. One special night some freshmen barricaded themselves in their rooms. This did not deter the upper classmen. They simply went to the attic and came down through the ceiling. I remember one night one of our counselors came in to discover his room had been moved outside—everything! Down to his clothes, books and a lamp which was politely burning. I remember the beautiful Saturday afternoons sitting on a blanket on the bank with a date watching the Tigers play. All the guys dressed out in coats and ties and the ladies in their finest. (Boy would we be out of place today.) I remember well the nightly jaunts to the college shop to see Reggie and get 45 THEN NOW MR.

WOOD, SR. Died, January 14, 2011 Appreciation to Helen Gay who provided this information on Tom. Spouse: Helen Gay Children: Tom and Helen Gay had three children, one boy and two girls. All finished college — two at the University of Virginia, and one at Randolph Macon (yes, that Randolph Macon!) Seven grandchildren completed the extended family. thorough preparation prior to trial and aggressive but respectful representation of his clients. As a Judge, Tom knew the law and expected no less of the attorneys appearing before him. He treated all before him, attorneys and parties alike, with consideration and respect. While his knowledge of the applicable law was exemplary, Tom’s greatest attribute as a Judge was his understanding of the people before him. He knew that stress could produce and expose great fear and lack of reason. He knew also it could produce great strength and resolve. He knew that circumstances could bring out qualities in people that day-to-day situations kept dormant. He understood that people were human and they should be treated with respect even though they had to be accountable for their actions. He knew that one punishment did not fit all. Each case stood on its own. Professional History: Following his graduation from Hampden-Sydney College, Tom attended and graduated from Law School at the University of Virginia, after which he and Helen Gay moved their family to Staunton, Virginia. He joined the firm of Nelson, McPherson and summers. Tom eventually became a partner in the firm. After 14 years of law practice as a trial attorney, he was appointed Judge of the General District Court of Staunton. “You’ve got to learn how to play the game, before you can become a referee.” Tom was appointed Judge of the Circuit Court for Augusta County in 1984, later being named Chief Judge of the 25th Judicial District. Tom retired in 2007, but still held court as needed from time to time. After a long illness and courageous fight with cancer, Tom died on January 14, 2011. As an attorney, Tom was known for his Travel, excursions, experiences, etc.: A fair amount of travel occupied Tom’s time away from work; some simply for vacation and many related to visiting the children. California, Nevada, New York, Florida, and Germany had a look at the Woods, and vice-versa. For some years, Tom and Helen Gay would 52 spend a week or so with friends in Florida and on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Although most trips were enjoyed, they were not without mishap. Upon returning to Dulles Airport from California, a long search ensued to locate the keys to the family car stuck in long-term parking. Divorce was mentioned several times, until the keys were located. On another trip, on a descending escalator in Union Station in Washington, DC, Tom dropped a piece of luggage causing a great pile-up of people. the only real damage was a broken bottle of Tom’s favorite drink, which soaked his surrounding clothes. Helen Gay washed everything out in their New York hotel room, and hung things up to dry (to the amusement of the hotel maids!). No trip ended without Tom saying “I’m glad to be home.” Home was Staunton; Home was Clifton Forge. Tom never forgot his roots. Tom loved Hampden-Sydney and was proud to be a graduate. Tom’s passions, in no particular order, were: family, Hampden-Sydney, UVA, football, the pursuit of law, Redskins Football, grilling red meat, a tall bourbon and water, and golfing with his friends. 53 DECEASED MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1964 The Reverend John L.
