What you see is the physical plant of a new form of education — the professional school; what you feel is the educational process itself. But in a sense RPI ' s campus is much more extensive than is shown on any plan of the school. Virtually it is the City of Richmond. To the north, the residential district, south to the sprawling arms of industrial Southside, east to Church Hill where deeds wrote pages of history, and west to Manorial Westhampton. And through it all meanders the James, linking Piedmont and Blue Ridge with the Tidewater in a manner slow and unperturbed and so characteristically Southern. Truly the whole city is RPI ' s campus, and well the role it ploys of cultural curator and trustee of the South ' s future. Thus it is fitting that the Richmond Professional Institute should be in such a vital location. For it is here that theory and practice are best blended. It is here that the student sees his vocation in a light not found in the classroom. It is here that application has become the watchword. Business, social work, art, psychology, drama, music, retailing, physical and occupational therapy are tested on the proving grounds of local centers of these vocations. The student sees his training in use and profits by it; he feels its worth and recognizes his potentialities. In the beginning he concentrates on realizing his ambitions, he spends months working and learning, and upon completion of his training comes to realize that his ambition has but been stimulated. College has aroused his intellectual curiosity and the lifetime process of educating human being has been advanced.

Today, as during America ' s childhood, our press stands as a graphic symbol of man ' s freedom to ex- press himself and voice his indignation . . . Journalism students at RPI learn, along with the mechanics of the trade, that they are charged with a great responsibility to society and to free America ... to never abuse the privilege of free speech ... to constantly strive to keep alive the free press upon which a democ- racy leans so heavily.

And it we could all open our minds and thoughts for all to see, what would be found there? Of course everyone is glad to be clutching that sheepskin, but aren ' t there other thoughts cropping up that put a catch in the throat? Aren ' t we all a little sad to close this chapter of our lives? Thinking back, we can remember the dav we wrote that first page. We were all attired in beanies, hauling around those incred- ibly heavy college volumes. Even that day we began to see the characteristics of the new personalities all around us. There were the know-it-alls, the personality kids, and also the shv ones, who were just plain confused and homesick. Before long though, we had all gotten into the swing of the thing, and were busy electing our officers and leaders. We attended the college functions, got to know all sorts of new people and, incidentally, attended classes. After the ne.xt summer we were eager to begin again, renewing all the old friendships, learning new things, and just living that college life — there ' s nothing like it. Finally, we were Juniors, and we could have rats to run our errands, just as once we had been the slavies (though eager ones) to our older brother and sister classmates. This year hurried along — we all had too much to do to have time drag on our hands. After all, we were Juniors, and had much to accomplish before we finally took up the imposing title of College Seniors. And now we are here, and who can sav it hasn ' t been fun, and who can sav he hasn ' t learned a lot — from the instructors, from the responsibilities, and from the plain old everv-dav contact with our friends and classmates? We ' ll march up, led by our officers: June Foster, president; Bill Fitzgerald, vice president: Lois Gustkey, secretary; Robert Hawley, treasurer, and Paul Mergler, SGA representative; we ' ll receive our honors, degrees and certificates, and we ' ll look forward toward new horizons. But we ' ll never forget this part of our book of life. senior class senior class June foster president William fitzgeraid vice president lois gustkey secretary robert hawley treasurer paul mergler sga representative franklin shepperson sponsor Seated, Left to Right: Willidm M.

Last year ' s Sophomores know the ropes and yet their college davs are not about to end as they are for the Seniors. Every class action takes on a roseate hue; even attending classes is more pleasant. Rat Week, always a big function, takes on added signifi- cance for the sponsoring Junior Class.

They were included in the activities of Rat Week with their plans for the Rat Dance. All through the year their presence was made known through their varied activities. The junit r Class should be glad to leave their title in the hands of such a capable and friendlv class. They ' re halfway out of the woods now and the second half will most likely glide by before they are ready to say good-bye to the gaiety of college days. -SI 42 ) ■ «•■• iv v; %; • V- fc- «•-; r  r- a.-- «r: ir. v , t r r-T- n ' . ■ r ' -:! -W ' M- J« ' dft - ■ jJs : iTi ■ ■ ' p,f.

That might well be, for no one can deny that RPl has never seen a better display of sports- manship than was seen during the 191 2 Rat Week. The Freshmen came with anxious anticipation to RPl and have now found themselves to be well integrated members of their new life. Thev have proved that they are a class to be appreciated.

' W:v :4 -; deans page There is an office in the Administration Building that is always open ; usually no one need make an appointment to enter it, and no one ever knocks. For Dr. Margaret L. Johnson is almost always there to help the students. Whether the problem is curricular, extra-curricular or personal Dr. Johnson is capable and willing to help. It ' s hard to envision what RPI would be like without her counsel. We, the staff of the 1953 Wigw.am, know that without her help this project might never have been developed. Dr. Margaret L. Johnson, Dean of iiluileiits H eait of the Department of Modern Languagei A.B., Barnard College; A.M., Ph.D., Columbia Unhersity Returning students and faculty members last fall found themselves suddenly face to face with a tall, distinguished looking stranger. He didn ' t re- main a stranger long, and before October, Dr. H. Tudor Westover was a familiar name and face to everyone. The brisk pace the new Dean of Instruction sets along the halls and between the buildings isn ' t just for exercise. Few faculty members find more of their time consumed with administrative details than Dean Westover. He ' s a welcome addition to our administration and we hope his future is rooted in RPI. 1)k. H.

M ' f. i:. t- Vfe .; vf ' -!|-ii;::il a message from the dean If 1 could proffer the students of Richmond Professional Institute one single watchword for their generation, that word would be, resolution. Modern }outh has so often been told that he is falling short; that he lacks the spirit, stamina, and wisdom of his forefathers, until youth itself has come to almost believe that erroneous accusation. Youth today lacks nothing greater than confidence in itself. True, there are sufficient reasons todav for momentary disillusionment. Young men and women find themselves thinking seriously about their present and future, and quite suddenly they are aboard a small vessel tossing upon a sea of uncertainty. Waves of conflict, hatred, bigotry and ignorance billow about them, and it ' s small wonder that thev often become frightened and freeze at the helm. I say to you that the temper of youth is as strong todav as in any period of history. However, we must accept the unpleasant fact that }outh must carry a greater share of the load of responsibility than at any other time in history. We live in a world that is undergoing change and revolution at a speed unprecedent. Hours have literally become minutes, and miles are little more than rods. This sphere upon which we live has shrunk until all earth ' s children find themselves plav- ing in the same back yard. Speed within itself does not constitute a major threat to our security until it becomes uncontrolled. College students today should be, not only willing, but resolved, to join in the control and direction of that speed. Our boundaries are limitless if we possess vision. Our re- sources unlimited. And of those resources, there are none of greater importance than our youth. Before us lie worlds un- dreamed of and potential accomplishments beyond the com- prehension of the human mind. That is, if we control that speed that may take us toward those accomplishments. Con- trolled, mankind may stand today only upon the threshold of his future. Uncontrolled, civilization might well he headed for total annihilation. Therefore, it behooves college students today to be re- solved that they will assist in the shaping of man ' s destiny. Be resolute and in that resolution will come the confidence and ability to direct the course of this swirling island upon which we ride together. Today ' s dream m.ay be tomorrow ' s reality. But dreams are not enough. It ' s going to take action and muscles, sweat and education, stout hearts and sharp minds. The responsibility for the survival of civilization may soon rest square!} ' upon your shoulders. And I, for one, sincerely believe in the strength of those shoulders to carry the weight of such responsibility. Believe in yourselves. Believe in your future, and know that ou are indeed your brother ' s keeper. Dejii Henry H. Hihbs, A. B., Cumberlanrl College (Ky.); A.M., Brorru Uuifersity; Ph.

Bendall, Earl Children 4, 74 t Shortly after World War II, RPI awoke one day to find that a more equitable distribution of sexes had com- menced upon its campus. Yes, it was literally true. The men were coming back. Soon the lads and lassies were about equally proportioned, and the men were faced with the need of a social and fraternal organization. It was then that the German Club at RPI was born — developing soon into a real force on our campus. Besides the dances, banquets, and other social events they present, the members also periodically submit suggestions to the SGA concerning improvements for the school. The membership is open to all in- terested male students, who are good fellows, and are interested in good, clean fun. This year they have pre- sented two picnics, two formal dinner dances, and the verv popular Minstrel Show. All these activities have con- tributed in a very large manner to our social life, and demonstrated the effec- tive working influence of this organi- zation. r , ; |i; . ; . -S4 vjiS . . :. , , . .«,. i .«, it ' f •«-■ !?i ' - j ' -i-i -k -ft 4 ' i -ii ii -i ' .- cotillion club phyllis f lynt- president charlie skeen vice president sharleen pearson secretary Shirley lewis treasurer mary jane coverston .sga representative dr. trussell sponsor 71ie Cotillion Club, a sister organi- zation to the German Club, is the only purely social club on the campus for girls. It is open to all girls attending RPI. Though this is a social club, one of its purposes is the bettering of our campus life through closer harmony and friendship between dormitory resi- dents and day students. This club presents at least t yo dances during the school year, both of them held in hotel ballrooms. Without a doubt, these two dances are two of the highlights of our school S(5cial life. Throughout the year, other parties and social functions are also a part of the program of this actiye club.

Reminiscent of the days when vaudeville troupes roamed the countrv with specialtv acts, songs, dances and comedv, the Art Students ' League ' s variety show has come to be a much anticipated highlight. It ' s a pleasant surprise when you go to the show and see that quiet gal who sits next to you in English 201 up on the stage strumming a ukelele and singing at the top of her lungs, or maybe doing the hula. Put- ting on this show is a near monumental task. Weeks of preparation go into it. Acts are reviewed, revised, and rehearsed. Then when everything is set to roll, the lead singer comes down with a cold and there are hasty last-minute replacements. Maybe the di- rector grows a grey hair or two, but when the house lights dim, the pianist swings into his opening ride, and the audience roars for encores, the show has clicked!

In modern times our courts are held in the highest esteem. The judiciary is universallv revered by free peoples, and man has come to look upon the courts of the land, not in a negative sense as prosecutors, but in a positive sense as the protectors of freedom and the symbol of honor . . . men ' s honor council ■? i V J ' - l |; ' ;| women ' s honor council . . . It was with this aim that the honor system was established on our shores nearly three centuries ago. it is to these principles that the Honor Councils at RPI dedicate themselves; to preserve the rights of the individual, to maintain jus- tice and to foster the self-respect of each student so that one spark of decency in the world may be fanned into a flame that mav one day light the future of civiliza- tion.

The student hears of democracy at RPI the first day of his college career. He realizes its presence on the campus soon after. And until the time of his graduation he is a part of that democracy, for the Student Government Association is active democracy working with and for and by the student body. In all affairs the SGA is there, always to assist, often to counsel, sometimes to lead. In matters concerning student and faculty relations the SGA stands ready to promote better understanding and closer cooperation. In seeing that all student interests are considered the council becomes a student forum. Truly the SGA is the voice of student opinion designed to enrich the college life of all. But it goes much deeper, for the lessons learned in personal relations, self-control, con- structive thought and respect for the rights of others cannot be fully measured in terms of the present. Only after he leaves college and assumes the responsibilities of society at large and on different levels can the student fully appreciate the valuable experience of college government which furthered his maturity.

Whenever the Student Government Association was called upon to present a school function, whether it was the Fall or Midwinter Formals, or one of its smaller programs, elifective planning brought results.

SGA Vice President Norma Lee Van Siclen The 1952-153 school year at RPI has been marked bv many iinprovements. This has been the year of stream- lining the Student Council. The first all-student constitu- tion was adopted; progress was made on the student information center and the task of publishing a student handbook went to the SGA. All of the many projects completed bv the Council were made possible under the able administration of President Bill Perdue. SGA President William C.

Roval rooters from Shafer Square shouted cheers like this right in their own back vard for the first time in RPFs his- tory this past basketball season. Of course the new gym provided the local setting, but what ' s more, the Devils, playing on their own court, showed the fight and spirit that marked them worthy of re- presenting RPI. Maybe the win column was a little sparse this season; but who can forget games like the first MCV match — the one the Devils took by one point in the dying minutes of the game. Or the one where they rolled over Union Theological, 103-69. Wim like these stand out far more than losses in the minds of all good sports fans. Then on their road games, who could forget the 66-6 q upset they handed Gallaudet up in Washington, or their 20-point triumph over the super- charged Dixie Containers. Tf anything though, the Devils showed that their po- tential will not be limited in future seasons, just goes to show you can ' t keep a good club down. men ' s basketball ■: -4- % ' i ' i- e i- V ir- ' v . e r ' f -  -: ■•. - ' r r i: •- ' -r ■■ - f ■ v ■■ ' ■ •• - - - ■ ' -y •• ■. i ' : if t i I ' - %  • ' 4 r-- ' ' -- ? - - t ' ;« ' • ■ ' ■? ■•: 5 ' ' ' ■ ' ■ f - ■• • « ««■ ' -i  ' ■ • •« ' . « ' .• ' H -p- ' • j • ' ; t ' H -H 4n -ii -ii ■; O m First Row, Left to Right; Rosalie Johfiscm, Helen Overslreet, Jane Hint, Bel Simp- son, Dorothy Blanks, Catherine Roberts, Sarah A, Genvin, Betty Burton Second Row, Left to Right: Miss C iafma i, Jane Brozvn, Jean Brozvn, Jane Lively, Peggy McFe Iters, Ann She f herd, Barbara A.

For sports-minded co-eds who make up the female basketball team play with just as much enthusiasm as their male counter- parts. Playing their contests in the after- noon, the girls have come to regard the new gvm as their home, just like the Green Devils. Ihe hoop season starts early for the girls on campus. As soon as the field hockey equipment has been stowed from the fall season Coach Chap- man has her squad drilling on the hard- wood. Winning ball games seems to be their instinct and beating the William and Mary sextet has come to be regarded as their specialty. And like the men they, too, are helping to mold student spirit and enthusiasm. The role they play in RPI ' s life is vital.

He is the four-footed cosmopolitan creature from the Richmond Mouse Training In- stitute of the College of Limburger and Sharp. It isn ' t often that you Hnd a mouse interested in college (mice are usually content to finish high school), yet one day between semesters there came a-creeping into the lower regions of the Ad Build- ing a sure ' nuff collegiately interested mouse. You could tell at a glance that he had all the marks of a well-cultured, well-educated mouse of dis- tinction. He was a dapper youth, nattily attired in charcoal flannel suit, gray cashmere sweater, pin collar, rep tie, and white bucks. Say, friend, he whispered, I ' m thinking of enrolling here for my mousters degree and . . . You ' re looking for the registrar ' s office, in- terrupted the editor with rare presence of mind. Up those stairs and to your right, Mickey. Cosmo ' s the name, he corrected, Cosmo D. Mouse. And I doubt that I ' d have business in the registrar ' s office. My record speaks for itself. What I am interested in, though, is seeing the real college — you know, clubs, groups and societies. After all, I do have to pick a college carefully you know. Realizing my eminence in the world of educated mice, who can tell how many other mice-of-distinction-to-be will follow my august example in choosing their college. I can ' t have them going to a college whose clubs won ' t measure up to our standards. Well then, mah friend, suggested the editor, since our space on this here page is on the wane, let us take leave. Check, replied Cosmo. Let us go then, vou and I. Just one thing though. Chum, noted the editor. Most of the clubs around here meet at night. Don ' t you think you ' d get a better idea of them if you came back during the evening? Unaccustomed as I am to day clubbing, per- haps it ' s best to go now. I have a coupl ' a night classes at RMI and couldn ' t make it back then, replied the mouse as they walked toward the music building. club guide • accidental 102 • advertising art 103 • art students ' league 104 • fashion 105 • fine arts group 106 • interior design 107 • theatre associates 109 • advertisers 110 • distributors 111 • occupational therapy 112 • physical therapy 113 • women ' s athletic association 114 • monogram 116 • hillel 117 • newman 118 • baptist student union 119 • Wesley foundation 120 • 712 west franklin 122 • lafayette 123 • day students ' league 124 • 828 park 125 • founders ' hall 126 meredith house 127 • moore house 129 • lee house 130 • ritter-hickok 131 • shafer house 132 Where ' s our first stop, some girls dorm? questioned Cosmo.

In fact thev go up there each spring to hob-nob with the artists. Right now they ' re getting set to hold their Carnival and Mardi Gras, so they can get enough cash to take the trip.

My sister, Schiaparelle la Mousse, is a dress designer. Doing quite well at it, too. Designed a trapless evening gown that won first place in a New York show. Ugh! Seen peanut-fed hogs, but this is the first corn-fed mouse I ' ve ever known. Pretty good, isn ' t it, Ed? Cosmo beamed. Back to the subject at hand. Now this club ' s members are all fashion illus- trators and costume designers. The speakers they have at their meetings really keep them on their toes ... Any parties? Sure, said the editor, plenty of parties. And by the way, he continued, their hay ride is one place where you might be able to help. How ' s that? asked the mouse. You might be able to drive a girl into some boy ' s arms. Nerts, Ed, replied the mouse in- dignantly, this kid ' s looking out for himself. I ' m not playing cupid — not even a straw one.

You might like to know that this group has members from the Fine Art, Art Education, and Crafts schools. Their big interest is promoting art around school, but that full year tuition they offer some worthy art student is a big project, too. A full year! That ' s quite a wad. How do they manage it?

Yeah, real appropriate. ' I Thought I Saw a Puddv Cat. ' Fine people around here.

Mouse, winced the editor, I sug- gest vou fire your script writer; you sure backfired on that one. Heh, heh, tittered the mouse. Forget it, Cosmo. The Distributors Club is for distributive education students to get that extra help in their merchan- dising and retailing. Their speakers come from the tops in their field — buyers, de- partment store executives, businessmen. ' hat sort of entcrtainin ' do they do? inquired Cosmo. Each May they give the seniors a banquet, and their Sadie Hawkins Dance is one of the highlights around here. Sounds swell. 1 can see that these professional clubs do a lot in the way of helping the student in his field as well as giving him a social outlet. Have any more around.

Know you ' d like to see the Occupational Therapy club. As O. T. srtudents, its members are concerned with rehabili- tating handicapped persons. The club gives them an opportunity to keep up with new twists in O. T. I ' ve heard of the work the O. T. ' s are doing in veterans hospitals and with the civilian handicapped. What do they do when they ' re not in class or at the hospital? They ' re in class most of the day, answered the editor, but they have fun, too. Take their Square Dance and June banquet — annual highlights around here ... Y ' know, Ed, remarked Cosmo, I don ' t know what clubs I ' ll join when I get here. You ' ve got so many. They might make you honorary member of them all. You ' d be some- thing of a distinguished student, y ' know. That ' d be great, piped the mouse. ...

This is for the Physical Therapy students, replied his guide. OT, PT, ASL, BSU, RPI— sure do run the legs of¥ the alphabet around this place. What does the PT Club do? Their biggest job, stated the editor, is running the March of Dimes campaign each year. No doubt you ' ve seen their iron lung banks and displays set up in the halls. The club itself is made up of PT students on campus and senior PT ' s in training at MCV. Don ' t sav it, Ed, interjected Cosmo, they do have socials, too, don ' t they? Sure, replied the editor. The picnic they sponsor with the OT is a big event. And there ' s time, occasionally, for a dance or two. That ' s what I hoped, remarked the mouse with relief. A club just ain ' t a club without a few parties and picnics thrown in. Women and parties, said the editor with disgust, can ' t you think of anything else?

What ' s that? asked the editor with an amazed look. Sports, replied Cosmo. I love ' em. Once I copped a varsity letter at RMI for the 50-yard dash in the cat- mouse classic. Ok, Speed, smirked the editor, we ' ll take a look at the Women ' s Athletic Association. Ah, women at last, sighed the mouse. Just as I thought. Anyhow, the WAA is the coed ' s sports club. Y ' know, their intramural contests create a lot of interest among the dorms and dav students alike. Basketball, badminton, swimming, archerv, hockev, all sports all year round. Their basketball game with the men ' s varsitv was reallv somethin ' . Girls won, too. ' Course the men shot with the opposite hand thev normallv use. Bet that was some game.

Aw, Ed, have a heart, there aren ' t any women at RMI, and you got some nice coeds here. Can ' t we stay just a little longer? Cosmo begged. Now, the Monogram Club, continued the editor, ignoring the pleading mouse, is the letter club at RPl. Letter club, said the mouse. What do they do, conduct re- view courses in the alphabet or somethin ' ? Can that corn, mouse. This group is made up of men who have won their varsity letters playing for the ol ' Green Devils. And before you crack wise at that let me tell you that the Green Devils are the school ' s basketball and baseball teams. paul mergler president bill smith vice president yogi stacia secretary dick mccaffrey treasurer ralph magee sga representative mr. alien sponsor monogram ■• ; i0. i i, - - -« ' ■!  i ' •; -f -f •: -fff ■ ■■ ' ■ ■ ' s M - hillel celeste f riedman president Sandra lisagor corresponding secretary doris leavy recording secretary max reinhardt treasurer irwin miller sga representative dr. alice davis sponsor Left to Right: Irw ' tn Miller, Doris Lejz-f, Joilie Froatmer, Celeste Frieditiau, Sandra Lisagor, Max Reinhardt, Ellen Frank Ok, friend, said the mouse. Now where do we go? We might try getting serious for a minute and take a look at the religious clubs hereabouts. I ' m with you. What ' s the first club? We ' ll lead off with the Hillel Club, said his guide. They ' re the group open to all Jewish students. Throughout the year they plan projects of interest, both religious and social, for their members. They work with other Hillel Councils in and around Richmond. That ' s fine, said Cosmo. Y ' know, 1 think that religious clubs are really important around campus. Everyone should belong to one. What club is this? This is the Newman Club, Cosmo. Its job is to bring the Catholic students together for discussions, communion break- fasts, and retreats. They have their social functions, too. This year they ' re giving a dance, and of course there ' s alwavs a picnic or two thrown in. They ' re reallv busv, Ed.

And here ' s a club that knows what planning is. This is the Wesley Foundation. They are hard at work on the Virginia Methodist Student Movement Conference as well as carrying out a full program in other religious activities. So you see, Cosmo, the Wesley Foundation, like the other religious clubs, has the job of providing spiritual guidance for the students here on campus. Gosh, boss, you sure have cornered the market on good clubs around here. Seems like there is one for everv student. 712 w. franklin You know it ' s getting late and we ' d better get moving if we want to see the rest. Sure.

Patience, son, you said vou wanted to see all the clubs. You can save that fun for last. Right now we ' ll visit the men ' s dorm at 712 W. Franklin Street. Quite a big hall. Can accommodate about 8q men. Eighty-five! Gee boss, that ' s too much competition for this ol ' mouse, complained Cosmo. Oh, don ' t worry Cosmo, there are enough girls to go around. Now this dorm was started about five vears ago. Cosmo, you aren ' t listening to a word I ' m saying. What ' s wrong? Sorry, Ed, 1 just can ' t wait to get to RPI so I can get in on some of the parties they have in this dorm. Parties, how do vou know thev have parties here? ' ell, Ed, said Cosmo, I just heard that guy over there ask his friend what they ' d do tonight. And his friend said they ' d flip a coin. Heads, thev ' d go to the movies, tails, they ' d call on their girls, and if it stood on end they ' d stay in and study. Where ' d you pick that stuff up? in- quired the editor.

Under- stand the day students make up a large part of the college here. Sure do, was the replv. Remember that mural you saw in the Slop Shop when we stopped for a coke? Well, they had that done. Plan to redecorate the whole shop. That mural ' s real good. Sure gives a picture of life here at RPI. Yeah, and the day students help in a big way to make that life here. In fact that ' s why the DSL was formed — to give the dav scholars an active voice in student affairs. Mmmm, mused Cosmo, mavbe I ' ll reconsider and live off-campus.

Sure, sure, we ' re on our way, remarked the editor as they crossed Sh afer Street from the Ad Building. Y ' know, the dorms here are really an important part of college life. Don ' t know what college ' d be like without them. It ' s really something when the new students come here in September — they don ' t know anyone, and they ' re confused a bit at first.
