RICHmOHD PROPESSIOnni inSTITUTE OF THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE COOPERATING RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ns Presented by the ' 56 COBBlESIOnE MONA MITCHELL. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF GENE HALL, BUSINESS MANAGER PRINTED BY WHITTET SHEPPERSON .J .•. ■•-! ;i :- ■■ - A college grown up among the cobblestones of an old city, a campus hewn out of a modern city ' s cement, the Richmond Professional Institute presents an organization as diversified and as vital as the cobblestones that surround it. Individuality is emphasized in all phases of college activitiy, and as each cobblestone differs in size and shape from those surrounding it, so does each student differ in the beliefs and aspirations to which his life is patterned. This is the story of life on a cobblestone campus as told in the words and seen in the pictures of this book. Through the variety of thought and action displayed in these pages, we hope to give an insight into this year at R.P.I. We have tried to capture the activities and events from September through June and to present them in The Cobblestone as a lasting mement o for the Senior Class of 1956. If in the future while glancing through these pages you recall fond memories of this year at R.P.I., then our story will have a happy ending.

Columbia University IHG PROUOST To you who have so lately been engaged in completing your edu- cation at RPI let me offer my congratualtions. You have in no small way contributed to that pride which we mutually share for the educational philosophy of this institution. Each one of you has had a large part in re-affirming my belief that RPI holds a distinct and generous share not only in the future of the South, but of other sections of the country as well. While your program here has been primarily vocational or professional, you have, no doubt, come to realize that no limitations have been placed on your Individual cultural aspirations. By tempering a solid core of professional train- ing with elected cultural subjects you have participated In an experience whose benefits will increase with each year. In parting, may I add that it has been a privilege to have had a hand in furthering your education. Now as you go out to serve your state and nation let my best wishes go with you. H.H. HIBBS, Dean THE DEnns Everyone on campus knows Dr. Margaret L.Johnson, Dean of Students. She is counselor and friend to all who enter her office door. Whether it is working out a complicated class schedule or helping plan a school function, Dr. Johnson can always be counted on to help solve the problem. New to RPI this year, Richard W. Copeland, Jr., is Assistant to the Provost and Dean of the Faculty. Dean Copeland ' s primary respon- sibility as assistant to the Provost is to work with school directors and department heads in selecting new faculty members, to evaluate programs of study and to improve facilities for instruction. hHe is also in charge of admission of new students to the Richmond Professional Institute.

The word itself sounds almost unbelievable. It couldn ' t be four years since we were wearing our green and yellow beanies. How new and fresfi it all seemed then, and how very wonderful. We came to this campus of cobblestones for a new and unique experience; an experience in learning. We each went our different ways, absorbing our different interests. But even though we were specialized, we still were as one, working and having fun together. As we leave here, we know we have gained a new perspective. We have learned to live with others and with ourselves. But we know that as we leave, a part of all this will go with us, an ever present reminder of the wonderful years, the happy times, spent on this campus. 23 SEniOR nUIHRDS Leadership Keys Top; Tom Monahan Center: Audrey Fr Bottom: Andy Andleton Above: Ted Hamre Not Pictured: Sue Baldwin 24 .,., j 5« j« j. .|..gj.j. .sr -- SEniOR nUIHRDS Vincent Keesee Drt nchiBUBmBnt Keys Judy Rutenburg 25 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer S.G.A.

We went about our daily activities with the warming knowledge that we be- longed. We were a part of an institution, a college, a campus. And as Juniors, we perhaps for the first time really came to know the wonderful experience of being a part of it all. And we also knew we would try hard, when our final year was over, to have made some- thing of ourselves so that we would not have walked the cobblestones here in vain. 42 ' ■ ' ' if. -ii ' t . ■¥ ' -i f : v m M - S -k i ' .i 4 4 . }■ .in -k ■ ■; ri- M if -l ' - ' - -i- OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer S.G.A.

THE PROSCRIPT The third floor of the Ad Building houses a variety of offices, class rooms, and closets. Among these, one will find the office of the PROSCRIPT, where on any Thursday afternoon anything can happen . . . and usually does. Banging typewriters, screaming reporters, and frantic-looking editors are only a few of the hazards one may encounter if he should happen to find his way up here between one and four o ' clock on Thursday afternoons. But amid all the noise and confusion of a college newsroom, the PROSCRIPT does manage to make publication, but not without the tears, sweat, and hard work of some twenty-five Journalism majors.

There are about twenty students around here that can verify this for those who may be skeptical. True, It is a lot of hard work, but it Is also a lot of fun and a wonderful experience. The main problem is putting Into one book the complete story of a whole year. The best copy must be written and re-written until It best tells the story. The best pictures must be chosen that will most effeclvely display the life and the activities of the campus. At last, however, it ' s completed and the finished book Is enough to make the hard work, the countless hours spent, well worth the effort. COBBLESTOnE Besides the busy task of being assistant to the provost, Mr. Williann R. O ' Connell, Jr., found the time to be the ever present word of advice, the helping hand, to the annual staff. As adviser to the annual. Mr. O ' Connell was always ready to share the trials and tribulations of putting out such a book as this one.

The Charleston Set, a Salvation Army Band, and the Four Jays were only a few of the many novelty acts of the night.

The record of nine wins and thirteen defeats may not seem like an overwhelmingly succes- ful year, but it serves to point out that winning is not the only benefit to be derived from a sport. On this and the following two pages are reminders of the men and the Incidents which made the 1955-56 basketball season so successful. Look at these pages carefully. They could be a picture of greater things to come on the basketball court. 123 BASKETBALL RECORD 1955-56 (9 Wins— 13 Losses) RPl 74 Gallaudet 61 RPI 60 Norfolk Division 71 RPl 72 Randolph-Macon 82 RPI 94 Bridgewater 101 RPl 73 Ga laudet 64 RPI 61 Lynchburg 71 RPI 62 Roanoke 80 RPI 59 Shenandoah 64 RPI 66 Norfolk Division 76 RPI 77 MCV 43 RPI 78 Bridgewater 63 RPI 68 hIampden-Sydney 70 RPI 65 Union Seminary 47 RPI 81 Rando ph-Macon 87 RPI 76 MCV 47 RPI 86 Apprentice School 87 RPI 87 Shenandoah 71 RPI 72 Union Seminary 58 RPI 41 Roanoke 52 RPI 67 Lynchburg 61 RPI 78 Apprentice School 82 RPI 71 HHampden-Sydney 94 ROB3ER— RPI ' s Jimmy Rogers (33) and Milt Bailey (45) have the ball taken out of their hands by Bland Shaunessy of the Paragons, a local team, In a practice game played at RPI before the Devils opened the regular season. FLYING RABBIT— With the grace of a swan. Rabbit Howard flys In to sink a layup In RPI ' s 82-72 loss to Lynchburg College. Milt Bailey (45) and Lynchburg ' s Dick Smith (13) wait for the rebound which never came. 24 RPI gave their backers much to cheer about when they launched the ' 55- ' 56 basketball season with a convincing 74-61 win over Gallaudet College of Washington. Then they lost three in a row be- fore beating Gallaudet again. The Green Devils ' longest winning streak was two games. That might have been a different story if they had had a bit more luck in their first game against hHampden- Sydney. They dropped that one by a two-point margin, 70-68. The Devils pulled the upset of the year in defeating highly rated Bridgewater College, 78-63, after dropping an earlier decision, 101-94. RPI won nine games while losing thirteen, for a percentage of .409. In other circles that wouldn ' t be regarded as a successful season, but compared with past seasons for the RPI teams, it is the best record the school has had. Many top performances were turned in by different men on the team. Jimmy Rogers was the high scorer. Hie averaged slightly better than 1 5 points per game. Right behind him was Milt Bailey. The rebounders were led by Rogers, Bailey, and Ed Peeples, who also did his share of the scoring. While not a high scorer or rebounder, Ernest Rabbit Howard was an invaluable asset to the team because of his all-round ability and his hustle. As a result of his performance and efforts, hloward was awarded the Prescript Award as RPI ' s Most Valuable Player. Not to be for- gotten are Jerry Gholson, Bill Manley, John Tobin, and Steve Clark who played outstanding ball for the Green Devils. RPI lost an important member of the team when Co-captain Bill Marshall was injured in the win over Bridgewater. Bill suffered a broken wrist in that game, and was forced to the sidelines for the remainder of the season. TWO POINTS— That ' s Dave Foltz trying to block Milt Bailey ' s jump shot in BASKETBALL BALLET— Ed Peeples seems to be playing the part o( a ballet RPI ' s home game against Roanoke College.

GIRLS ' BHSKETBHU Girls ' basketball put in its first appearance at RPI, and it proved to be a success- ful one. The girls, nicknamed appropriately enough, the Green Devilettes, won six games, while losing the same number. Coached by Frances Aaron, the girls got off to a slow start, but ended the season by winning four of their last six games. The highlight of the season was the outstanding performances of Co-Captain Billie Waters. She scored the amazing total of 361 points in twelve games. On two occasions, her point total equaled that of the entire opposing team, and in • 126 • SEASON RECORD 1955-56 (6 Wins — 6 Losses) THREE GIRLS, ONE BALL— That ' s Emily Johnson leaping as she shoots a one-hander in the Devilettes ' game against Norfolk Division.

In RPI ' s 54-43 victory over Lynchburg, Billie scored 43 points to come within Jim Ward ' s all-time school record of 44 tallies.

Dotty Diradour, the captain, was back for another year, as were Ann Franco- Ferrelra and Ainna Burton.
