The past is locked secure, The future remains to be opened . . . i f r‘J ■ ' ' .-V EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Nathaniel Marshall BUSINESS MANAGER Conley C. Abrams HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va. DEDICATION The dedication of ap annual is Indeed a mild Trib¬ ute to pay to one who has spent the greater part of his life serving this Institute which we all love. So fine a person needs more than words as an indi¬ cation of our gratitude and appreciation. Yet, when this gratitude is mingled with the pledge that we shall ever be loyal to this Hampton that he has helped to build, we feel that his heart will be glad for us and for Hamp¬ ton. To Major Walter R. Brown we respectfully dedicate the HAMPTONIAN ’ 51 . 5 So proudly do we hail our president, AIzono G. Moron ' 21, eighth president of the Institute and first alumnus to become leader of the school. Under his capable guidance, Hampton cannot but become one of the brighter stars on the edu¬ cational horizon of this new half-century. 6 Office of the President To the Members of the 1951 Graduating Class: I wish you were leaving Hampton and entering a world which was less con¬ fused and confusing. However, since you are children of the depression who have grown up in an atmosphere of wars and rumors of war, you have no dewy memories of a peaceful humdrum existence. There still lies ahead of you the job of making a significant contribution to the development of a civilization which is dedicated to the achievement and preservation of peace. That peace, which is best defined as tran¬ quility of order, can be achieved only if we recognize that tranquility of order can¬ not prevail if millions of the world ' s population continue to be deprived of their right to determine hgw they shall be governed, their right to develop their own re¬ sources and potentialities for their own benefit, and their right to enjoy the four freedoms made famous by the Atlantic Charter. There can be no peace until we achieve a more equitable distribution of the world ' s wealth and make it possible for millions of children to get enough to eat regularly, to acquire the rudiments of an edu¬ cation and to share with us the opportunity to grow up to healthy and productive man¬ hood and womanhood. Those of us who have been the beneficiaries of a system of government and an economic order which made it possible for us to have these benefits should realize that the best use we can make of our education is to enrich the lives of those less fortunate than we are. It has been said that the best way to find one ' s self is to lose one ' s self in the service of others. As we develop efficient instruments of destruction, as we recognize the inadequacy of material things for protecting us from moral and physical disaster, we must learn to rely upon spiritual strength, upon the intangibles of charac- ter, personal integrity, and Christian faith to give us the peace and security which we all desire. As alumni of Hampton, Institute, it is my sincere hope that you will be found in the vanguard of all movements seeking to improve the welfare of mankind every¬ where, that you will develop the keen sense of discrimination necessary to recog¬ nize such movements and to keep you from being confused by lies and propaganda, and that you will develop also the intellectual curiosity which is the mark of an edu¬ cated man or woman. Most of all, I sincerely hope that you will continue your educa¬ tion in order that you may continue to grow in wisdom, in understanding, and in use¬ fulness. With best wishes, I remain Sincerely yours. Alonzo G. Moron President 7 DL yearLook Staff Nathaniel Marshall Maureea Ellerson Conley C. Abrams Erich Downing _ Byron B. Hall _ Julia C.

For notice eager, pass in long review. . . 8 eamoo oreword The recording of events, whether current or long past, should always be left to the Historian. One must always separate the important from the irrelevant; the big from the small. But yet, the small may be important, the large a nuance, and vice versa. Yearbook production requires the separation and classification of persons and events into orderly and sequen¬ tial categories; requires the translation of the material gained therefrom into intelligible phrases and logical pictorial representations. Yet, who is to say what is important and what is not. Who can say if the game is of more import than the dance; the dance of greater relevance than the grill; the lot of them of less importance than the class. Or better yet, is the class subsidiary to the individual. Such are only a few of the fundamental problems faced by the staff of this year ' s HAMPTONIAN. There are always other problems such as the laxity of organizations in subscribing to space, the difficulty of deter¬ mining the classification of individuals, the meeting of production deadlines and innumerable others. Yearbook production then, is at best, a luckless task, a task which to us at times seemed of no less than monumental proportions. The work of the artists seemed to overlap that of the writer; the writer rubbed elbows with the publicist, the publicist with typists, and so on. In short, the lay observer would havg understandably said that all was confusion, and so It might have been. Nevertheless, at the proper time, and in good time, categories became apparent, a flow of material could be seen, sequences were observed and, to summarize, ability engendered with the material at hand and of that union was begot an embryo which grew from fledgling into this fully developed yearbook which you now read. Here then, is your HAMPTONIAN ' 51. Here you are; here are we; here are those we knew; here is the child who fathered the man; the wiser man who was a child. Here is your HAMPTONIAN ' 51. — The Editor. lO Words and Music by: CHARLES W. TURNER CLii Si t -ff- on p=t f H— K«wi. -I- 1-r V 1-Ir r wi THti OtAfiv HAtMP- J. -I Ui«TH A.LL ouA.

Arrest Old Time, disrupt the power That speeds that yet unwanted day. When, Hampton, we must leave thy way. We needs must go, yet we would stay. To leave is right — is right thy way? Oh, how this gross ambiguity Does vex us with uncertainty. Yet if thou bless us as we part. We will, with sad but fuller heart. Divorce reluctance from our minds; Go forth and make thy name sublime. We shall, and this we swear to you; Remember, honor, love, be true. Nor world enough nor time enough can ever be. For us to lose this loyalty to thee. —Nathaniel Marshall 13 ciS5 Did you ever stop your daily tasks long enough to look back over the years and think of those incidents and events you remember most vividly. To some people, our little thoughts may seem insignificant; but to us — the Class of ' 51 — they are very dear. Some may call it day dreaming; call it v hat you may, our dreams are truly wonderful. When we, as freshmen reached the soil of Hampton Institute, the Administration was undergoing a change. An interim committee soon began to carry out the administrative duties. How well we remember the beautiful snowfall of that year. The heavy rains that almost made us develop web feet. Then dreams of becoming seniors; yes, even at that early date. Ours was the first class to move from the water front building to the new Communications Center with its improved equipment. We recall, during our second year, an alumnus becoming president¬ elect of Hampton for the first time. Armstrong field was improved with the addition of a lighting system and new bleachers. We observed with glee the opening of our consolidated post office and commissary. We could actually see Hampton growing before our eyes. During this year we noted a change in the R. O. T. C. staff; Colonel Moses relieved Colonel Grinder. The present meal book system was instigated upsetting the old purchase as you go plan. During our Junior year we witnessed the inauguration of our new President. The plans were accepted for a new men ' s dormitory. It is to be constructed where formerly stood historical old Huntiagton Hall. An¬ other ancient edifice was missed when Winona Lodge was razed. How lovely the night of our Junior-Senior prom. How well remem¬ bered; so long remembered. Finally we have reached the top — Seniors! We remember, during this year, the magnificent performances of Charles Laughton, Adele Addi¬ son, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, etc. Ours was the first graduat¬ ing class to witness the new educational program in action. We watched the rise of the Personnel Council, the Curriculum Committee, the one-year veterans R. O. T. C, program. As we look back over the years, we think of the happiness the Hamp¬ ton has provided — a home away from home. We congratulate and pay tribute to those of us who reached the peak in academic standing. Our commendation also to those who excelled in extracurricular activities. Such is the versatility of this class. We feel that Hampton has prepared us to meet our obligations as citizens in our dynamic society. Wherever we go, we shall always cherish and hold dear our thoughts of days at Hampton. 14 i ( l: 16 R.

Although the centers for fine arts are far distant from our ivy-clad walls and although the itineraries for the great artists are usually far from our campus, through the auspices of the Musical Arts Society and related committees, each member of the Hampton family, plus members of outlying communities, can enjoy a theatrical season and a concert season that pro¬ portionately approaches that of New York. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Charles Laughton, the Touring Players of New York . . . these are the types of cultural elements, which have in the past school year colored our environment with the necessary paint to give rise to our versatility and increased comprehension of the abstract. On the other hand, we are not one-sided high brows who are prone to partake in those activities which are unnatural and restrictive in na¬ ture. We are young men and women who like our dungarees and slacks and our bull sessions along with our academic seminars. We like to pat our feet to the progressive jazz emanating from a juke box in the grill as well as applaud a preeminent virtuoso in Ogden Hall. We. are cognizant of the limits in freedom of expression. Ye who have faith in youth ' s great potential and ye who believe in a brighter future for all through the all around improvement of individuals, gaze upon the pictures following and see the Hampton students in action — an integral part of tomorrow ' s hope. 92 93 The pro and con of it . . . 94 Fleming, Addison and Laughton, , . . these you saw in Ogden Hall, 95 f FFICE LAB RINTING 96 lOLOGY 97 98 TRI - CLUB TOURNAMENT WRESTLING TEAM AtO ' Ri.
