HAMPDEN-SYDNEY liAI.liIDOSf1C Jl'E 19241 Hey there, big fellas. I'm only just now beginning to recover from my awesome stay at H-SC. Even though it's long after my visit to your fair school, I still remember it fondly, if I were a guy, I'm sure I'd want to attend Hampden-Sydney. You guys really know how to live. I'll never forget the party I attended at the Maples - with all those girls from Sweet Briar, and the private quarters of jay Condrey upstairs. And, of course, there was the road trip for the junior members of the fratemity - you boys looked quite dashing, bound and gagged. Your study habits did not go unnoticed. Even though it was a few weeks before finals, the library was empty. I respect you. The fact that Farmville is not the most active metropolis on the East Coast does not get you boys down. Nor is it anything to be ashamed of that some of you seem to believe that beer enhances breakfast. And I loved the housekeeping in the dorms. The most important thing I learned is just how much storing clothing on the floor contributes to the authentic- ity of the rumpled-natural- fiber, first-thing-that-came- to-hand look which takes most preppies such long and careful planning to achieve. Do you really need to ask why I call Hampden-Sydney the preppiest college in the FANNING THE FLAME An Introduction 152 Lzsa Birnbarh United States? I have touted it from San Diego to New York. LISA B E: THE H.-KMPDEX-SYDNEY TYPE. IOM ROBINSON Why? Because nobody would believe it. There is still a College that time for- got, still a breeding ground for the right boys, with beautiful surroundings, and southern gentility. Hampden-Sydney is one of the few schools that hasn't bowed to ugly pre- professionalism. There stu- dents can still actually study the liberal arts because they will be able to mooch off their parents for the rest of their lives. Hampden- Sydney boys are part of a very elite group. I was touched, by the way, that there were six boys from above the Mason-Dixon line - they made me feel right at home. So how could I resist writing an introduction to . f this Kaleidoscope, The Official Preppy Yearbook? This yearbook will be your outstanding rnemento Qalong with your old BMW keysj of those intense college years, especially for those of you who have spent more than four of them at Hampden-Sydney. The preppy way to use a yearbook is to go through it page by page in private so that you can see whether you look gross in your class picture before everybody else notices that you look gross. Then you open the year- book to the funniest pages, e.g., the faculty, and you look at those and laugh with your friends. Then you spend the next three days practically sleeping with your yearbook. The impor- tant thing is to become obsessed with your yearbook - spend the entire summer memorizing it. You must make sure to protect it from sand, gin, and suntan lotion. Since I am a girl, it was always proper to have my friends sign my yearbook. J
