' .. r., :..Aj.Ji ,.. ; ..i,m!i,.i .: M.;M,.A; i,. ..A:u Prologue To have been a part of a college in the days of its youth is indeed a gratifying and a novel experience. For in this age when so many educational institutions are measured to a large degree in terms of history and tradition, it is nice to know that perhaps we have been instru- mental in the forming of the tradition of RPI. We who have attended the Richmond Professional Institute have learned, among other things, that the thirst for knowledge can be quenched as satisfactorily in a makeshift classroom as it can in a colossal lecture hall. We have discovered that the quest for an education need not meander around a spacious campus beside ivy-covered walls nor along sorority lane and fraternity row. We have, in fact, discovered that the physical tools are secondary. We have found that the student must first of all have the desire. From the desire comes willingness, and from that is sure to come the mental compatibility of student and instructor. Those are the things that count. And those things we have found at RPI. As we take our leave from this institute of learning, it is encouraging to see new buildings taking shape, new mortar being mixed, and plumb lines being stretched. It gives us a prelude glance into the future of the school. And we believe that we can see RPI fifty years hence; larger, more widely known and recognized, and still growing — still meeting the need of the hour. Of course we shall remember it as the RPI we knew, with Monroe Park for our campus and classes meeting beneath its trees in May. We shall remember the long yellow fingers of the April sun reaching between the leaves of a magnolia tree and stroking a co-ed ' s hair as she sat studying beside the Administration building. We shall remember spring and the gardens in Richmond. We shall remember the old Southern homes standing as they did in the days of the Confederacy, dignified, stately and rich in southern lore. We ' ll remember the evenings when we hurried from dorm to dorm, from building to building when the air was filled with needles, when the stars hung so low over Shafer Street that you thought you might have hit one with a stone, and the muffled growl of Franklin Street traffic creeping through the first snow. We ' ll remember Byrd Park on autumn after- noons with the swans circling slowly and the smell of burning leaves in the air. These things we shall remember along with the history, the literature, the music, the art, the science, and humor. It has been an opportunity. And though we may not have always made the most of that opportunity, we leave RPI with the profound belief that ours has been a richer life for coming. We go our ways believing that we are better equipped to face the complexities of life. We believe that we have accjuired .some knowledge of the techniques of living. And for all those things we say, thanks RPI. ' Dedication Rounding out her 26th year of work here at RPI, Mrs. Virgie Chalkley is retiring as Hostess of Founders Hall. The ever popular house mother has long been a favorite with students and faculty alike. Always devoted to her work, Mrs. Ch.m.ki.ev ne ' cr forgot her girls — she always put them first. Her gentle nature produced a steadying influence at Founders, as it did around the campus. Her willingness to help won for her the respect and admiration of all who came to know her. Somewhere in the book of trite sayings could be found an appropriate adage to quote here. Yet there is little left to be said, for her long years of loyalty to RPI and its students speak for themselves. Her absence will leave a void not easily filled. So it is with deep respect that we, the staff of the Wigwam, dedicate this annual to Mrs. Virgie Ch.alklev. Our ' Dean DEAN HENRY H. HIBBS A.B., Clumberland College; A.M., Brown University Ph.D., Columbia University Without question no other indi -idual has been more significant in RPI ' s rapid climb up the educational ladder as has Dean Henry H. Hibbs. Since the inception of RPI in 1917 Dr. Hibbs has been the guiding and controlling force in the school ' s development. His executive and administrative ability have been decisive factors in building in RPI perhaps one of the most unique colleges of its kind in the South. His sincere and genuine interest in student activities has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body. Our Dean ' s progressive spirit has been reflected in the physical and academic growth of RPI. m Our Advisor DR. MARGARET JOHNSON Administrative Assistant Advisor to Women Students Head of Department of Modern Languages A.B., Barnard College A.M. and Ph.D., Columbia University Always interested in perpetuating .school spirit. Dr. Margaret L. Johnson has been a chief coordinator for RPI. Her genuine interest in student activities and interests Ijefits her role as Dean of Students. Despite the pressing nature of her administrative duties, she finds time to counsel RPI ' s various clubs and organizations in an effort to obtain maximum student spirit. It is largely through her cooperation that student-faculty relations at RPI have been so close. As faculty advisor to the Wigwam, Dr. Johnson ' s suggestions and advice have aided in the production of this annual. Symbolic of the Entrance to Opportunitr ■ ■ ■ From the Past, To the Present . . .

Representative Mr. Cross Advisor LffI to Rig il: Alice Doolev, Bill Hevvvood, Fave Richmond, Joseph Kidd Looking back through the collegiate days at the Richmond Professional Institute, we the seniors of 1952 feel it a gift of pride. During these years we have heightened our education through the ceaseless efforts of the administration and the students. May the future opportunities prepare us to l)c happy, well- rounded citizens. John C. Crc -I 20} SENIOR CLASS HISTORY To most of us, the year of 1948 is memorable only because it marks the Jjeginning of our college careers. The big news of ' 48 was the presidental election and the upset of the dopesters. It was a prosperous year, and a year between wars. Many of the G Ts were rested by now, and the war seemed a distant memory. The service- men were flocking back to school and 1948 saw enrollment in American Colleges and Universities hit an all time high. People fell in love, got married, had babies. The world seemed to be revolving on its axis at about the proper speed, and life seemed good. Meanwhile we donned our l eanies, grabbed our notebooks and pencils and seriously got down to the business of acquiring a college education. Under the leadership of President Bill Johnson, our freshman class was really rolling by the spring of ' 49. The outstanding events of that spring were the freshman-sophomore hayride and dance, and the May Day festival. In 1949- ' 50 we were sophomores and ankle deep in the college pool. Some of our members hadn ' t returned to RPI. but we had acquired some new members so we had a typical sophomore class. The years of 1950- ' 51 found many of our male members casting apprehensive glances in the direction of the Far East where the cold war had suddenly turned not so cold. Ronald Feaster was elected class president that year and Bobbie Cohn was elected class sweetheart for the May Court. We had the usual number of dances, and other social functions. Meanwhile we fixed our eyes upon June, 1 952, and pressed our shoulders to the wheel. On October 2, 1951, we h eld our first class meeting to discover that we had only two returning officers from last year. An election was held during the next week; the new officers were installed at the next meeting. We were in the final stretch now and it looked like a dry track, so we surged ahead. And thus it is that finally we have reached the docks from where we must embark. Our feet are planted upon the mammoth timbers of the ages. Our eager eyes are turned toward an eastern sky where we behold the kindling of a new day. Our barks ride restlessly upon the waves and strain at their moorings. Already a wind is rising and the sleeping sails imfold their arms to the breeze. Soon we must Ije off. We are not unaware of the frailness of our crafts, nor of the storms that lie along our sea paths. We believe that we are able seamen a nd that we shall not founder helplessly in a raging sea. Our charts have been drafted by kind and capable hands, and we Ijelieve that we shall certainly sail into smooth and tranquil waters. Ours has iseen a challenge, and we have accepted that challenge. We sail: each in his own direction and each to his own destiny, but all with a common purpose . . . that out of darkness, we may assist in bringing light; that out of chaos and confusion we may be instrumental in bringing order; that to a tired and disillusioned world we may help to bring new faith, new hope, and new dreams, that is our fervent desire. And so to our Alma Mater, our patient and wise instructoi ' s, our roommates, classmates and friends, and to all those who have so adequately served to make college a memorable and worthy event, we say, Aloha. 21 EDMUND BANGEL ABRAHAM 100 Washington St., Portsmouth, Va B.S. in Social Science German Club 4 year Seniors ROBERT ADAMS 6910 WooDROw Terrace, Richmond, Va.

G. A. Representative Mrs. Frank Sheldon Advisor The Cotillion Club is a sister organization to the German Club. Its membership is open to all women students who attend the Richmond Pro- fessional Institute. Like the German Club, it is strictly a social organization, yet, taking part in the interest of the entire student body. The purposes of the club are, first, to bring into closer relationship, by means of social activities, the women dormitory and day students, and secondly, to sponsor at least two formal dances each year and .several activities. This year the Cotillion Club held their fall formal at the Jefferson Hotel, and in the spring held an informal dance in the gym. The spring formal was also held in a hotel ballroom. The student body and faculty members of this college were profoundly shocked and grieved by the untimely death of Elizabeth .S, Harrison, nineteen, of Lawrenceville, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident last December. Betsy, Treasurer of the Cotillion CUub, was respected and loved by all those who knew her. It is to the memory of this girl, our classmate, that this page is humbly dedi- cated. Elizabeth S.

Its membership is open to all male students regularly en- rolled at the Richmond Professional Institute upon payment of initiation fees and dues. Although the German Club functions primarily as a social club, many activities are pursued for the benefit of the entire student body. The members add con- structive criticism toward the well-being of the school at large and periodically submit recommendations to the Student Government Association. Highlights in the Club ' s activities for the year included a fall outing at Camp Kentwood, the Shipwreck Dance, the Third Annual Minstrel Show, a Spring outing, and the Fall and Spring formal dinner dances. Along with the sponsoring of these many activities, the German Club gis ' es a feeling of fraternal spirit to the men students here at RPI. 1951-52 German Cluh Oi} M(H ' di Qras Ten Sturdy Savages!

The enthusiasm expressed by the members was certainly a sign of progress and growth. Through the administration and the recent student bodies, the alumni feel that this organization will have a steady increase in members. A successful dance and banquet was held in the Jefferson Hotel at the beginning of the year. Included among their resourceful activities was the publication of Alumni News, which was published four times yearly for all alumni. The officers this year were Jack Creasy, ' 42, President; Dabney Darrocott, ' 50, Vice-Presi- dent; Mary Jo Stahl Southall, ' 40, Secretary; William Sewell, ' 49, Treasurer; and Lola Mae Shiflett, Executive Secretary.

It might be interesting to know how many times in future years the essence of that old song will be repeated by the Alumni of RPI. Oh yes, the years will come and the years will go, and the old mill wheel will make many turns! But forget the old gang? Never. The old gang never grows old . . . never dies . . . for the old gang is locked deep, deep within our hearts. That ' s it. And who is the old gang? Why, look around you. The old gang is the personalities, characters if you must call them so . . . the Charlies, Abes, Joes, Dots, Ediths, Kathics, and Matildas. Personalities? Sure. All of them. Good, bad, sparkling, charming, and maybe a little dull sometimes, but personalities, you bet. The fat boy; ruddy, good-natured, cheerful and boring. The fellow who always needed a hair cut; poetic, philosophical, and undernourished. The girl who was always trying to steal everybody ' s date; charming, attrac- tive — and, oh, how I hated her! But gee, I wonder whatever happened to her! Thought she was going to write. The girl who tried to mother everybody — sweet, not so attractive, but a heart as big as a football. What a lox ' able character! And that giggly girl. The one who could never lie serious. Always getting in dutch. Always borrowing. The professor who likes my poetry. Said I had possibilities; but he didn ' t say possibilities for what. The little English instructor who always had time to listen. But then, they all did. Have to go a long way to find a better group of teachers. Or could you? . . . Patient, wise, humble, sweet. Gee, I wonder! By the way . . . what ever happened to that big fellow who used to snore like a freight train? Couldn ' t say much to him. Big as a horse. The woman-hater. What a laugh! The boaster. The loud mouth. The guy who knew all the answers. And the guy who knew none. And of course, of course: that one special pal. The one from who you kept nothing. Always understood . . . always lent a sympathetic ear. Man. you couldn ' t run that ear over ! Good old Joe. Good old Millie. What I wouldn ' t give to see them now! That ' s them. That ' s us. That ' s what makes college college. Gosh, I wouldn ' t have missed knowing them for all the rice in China! Wonder what they ' re doing, and where they are?

We claim to be the only co-ed dorm on campus, for painters and paperers are always wandering around. If not workmen, then firemen are awakening us each morning. Thanks to the workmen, we now have a wonderful recreation room, perfect for open house and parties. Even before this addition, however, we had numerous showers and parties. Any time in the spring, if your eyes are sharp enough, you can see our roof crowded with girls working on a sun-tan. Between studies, our moods are enlivened lay Lou and her git-tar, boisterous Jody, and Jean with her portrait painting. These and other friends and our freshly papered dorm make us feel that we are one of the luckiest groups on campus. { 129 } Zee Mouse Seated (Left to Right): Nancy Koonce, Mary Lou Lozier, Peggy Johnson.

Mqsby Hostess Rittcr-Hickok Dormitory is a lovely yellow brick home located near the cafeteria. In our house most of the talk centers upon marriage and school functions, because the majority of the girls are engaged and many are leaders at RPI. The major planned social functions of the year are the Halloween Open House and a picnic in the spring. Other parties were held after hours at Christmas, and our hostess surprised us with a party following exams. Any time in the spring one may see a crowd sitting on the front steps singing to ukuleles. To add to the en- joyment of the living room, each girl contributed so that we could buy a radio- victrola combination. Constantly adding to the gaiety are Judy, smoking her pipe; dramatic Mary Ann; boisterous Jo; and busy Ann Huffman, a true leader. Although we have arguments, do not let anyone tell you that we are not devoted. •{131 } Shafer Mouse Seated on Floor (Ijft to Right): Ina Morganstein, Pat Mabry Sealed {Left to Right): Janice Blymire, Nancy McCracken, Jo Anne Conti, Carol Bennett OFFICERS Nancy McCracken President Jo Anne Conti Vice-President Ina Morganstein Secretary-Treasurer Faye Webb Sophomore Representative Carol Bennett Freshman Representative Pat Mabry SGA Representative Shafer Dormitory is located near the Administration Building. Very often you may see one of us rambling around soaking wet, for we have quite a few water battles in our dormitory. The major social function that we sponsor is the Halloween Open House. We also had a Christmas Party after hours, complete with candles and stocking caps. During the week before Christmas each girl had a buddy with whom she exchanged small presents every day. Always adding to our giggles are June, Barbara and Jo, the witty trio. For entertainment we also have Ida, our champion swimmer. {132 founders Mall Left lo Right: Jane Havden, Susie Charles, Joanne Smith, Barbara Ennor, Nancv Riddick, Mary Fred Turner, June Foster OFFICERS Susie Charles President Edie Pierson Senior Representative Barbara Brown Assistant Senior Representative June Foster Junior Representative Connie Fulton Sophomore Representative Joan Fekas Freshman Representative May Warren SGA Representative Mrs. Chalki.ey Hostess Founders Hall is a large brick dormitory adjoining the cafeteria. The school infirmary and nurse ' s office are located in this building. We started our social functions with a Halloween Open House, for which the dormitory was gaily decorated. Numerous showers and a Christmas party were also held. To add to the enjoyment of our house, a new victrola was bought. Besides having many school leaders in the dorm, there is always Crip to entertain us with her ukulele. We are very proud of our Gustkey twins, one of whom was chosen Carnival Queen. Soon after exams, we instituted Secret Pal Week to bind us in closer friendships within the dormitory. We hope that next year e ery dormitory will have this week. ■{133 1- Meredith Mouse Left to Right: Laur.j Fanning, Dee Dee Drake, Jov Reynolds, Petunia McDonald, Loy Malone, Lizz Halvosa OFFICERS Dee Dee Drake President Barbara McDonald Senior Representative Lizz Halvosa Junior Representative Loy Malone Sophnmore Representative Laura Fanning Freshman Representative Joy Reynolds ■S ' G ' .-l Representative Alice Nelson WAA Representative Meredith House is a large dormitory situated on Park Avenue. This is a favorite with the men, perhaps because of the large selection and the number of freshmen. The girls living here are very active in campus affairs. The major dormitory functions are the Halloween Open House, a Christmas Party, and a Spring Outing. Many smaller showers and parties are held throughout the year, however. To add to the beauty of the home, new floors have been installed this year. Our girls seem to have a passion for poetry, and Cookie and Frances help to keep our laughter high, along with Phyllis and her chatter of Carolina. •{134 kj Pwscript Staff Left to Right: James Overton, Jov Reynolds, Charlie Decker, Betty Schmitz, Ed Brittle, Alice Dooley, John Yeatts, Mary Lou Nussman, Gerry Marple FIRST SEMESTER Edward Brittle Editor Winston Overton Managing Editor Mary Hargrove ....
