An Explanation of the 2010 Kaleidoscope

Welcome to the 2010 Kaleidoscope. Since there are a number of significant
changes to the Kaleidoscope from last year, I thought I would take a moment to
bring you all up to speed. Truly, the economic downturn affects everyone. Because
the student activities fee— the fund that finances all student clubs and organizations,
including the Kaleidoscope— took a hit last year, the Kaleidoscope could not com-
mand its usual budget. As a result, the traditional 100-page color printed book was
not possible. Mr. Tommy Shomo, Director of Public Relations, and I decided that tc
meet our budget, which was half what it originally had been, we would incorporate
a digital yearbook that is much more affordable to mass produce than a big book.
To calm the traditionalists, I put together this 32-page black-and-white book, which
only the seniors will receive because of the high printing cost.

But the main focus of the 2010 Kaleidoscope is the digital yearbook, which comes on a DVD that se-
niors will receive inserted into the inside jacket of this printed yearbook, and all other underclassmen will
receive solely. I actually think this budget cut will turn out to have been a blessing in disguise, because the
DVD format is able to communicate so much more than mere pictures on a page. As you will see wher
you insert the DVD into your computer, I've put together eleven video segments that capture a variety ol
aspects of student life on the Hill. I apologize that I could not include every facet of activity, but I faced c
limit of ninty minutes of video.

Just a few technical notes: In addition to the DVD, I've included a pdf of the paper yearbook so thai
freshmen, sophomores, and juniors can share what the seniors get in print. And the digital version is ir
color and includes another section that could not fit in the 32-page printed book: faculty and senior por-
traits. Also, just for fun, I've included the music recording of the Hampden-Sydney Choir's Spring Con-
cert. To access the recording and the pdf of the yearbook, you're going to have to go to the DVD foldei
in your My Computer. In other words, the pdf and the recording will not appear in the programmed mem
of the DVD that you will access through your DVD-viewing software to watch the videos, but they wil
appear on the data folder for the DVD.

Please, if you think that this year's Kaleidoscope fails in answering the challenges of the 21st Centur)
or, likewise, if you would like to express your support of the decisions made in producing this edition
you can address your comments to Mr. Tommy Shomo, or to rising senior Adam Lees, who will be taking
over next year.

I hope you enjoy!

Yours,

BreUR.Chonko

President Howard
Arrives on the Hill

A Letter from Dr. Howard

This yearbook contains
reflections of the experiences that
you have Hved in your days on
this Hill. Its pages will remind
you through the years of those
days you enjoyed and which
marked your transition from the
boy entering the gates to the man
departing to make
a mark on the
world.

It has been my
honor to preside
over your final
year as students
on this Hill. I
have looked to
you to tutor me in
the ways of the Hampden-Sydney
man... and you have been patient
and kind as you welcomed me
into this community. I thank you.
I will always be indebted to each
of you.

In September of 2010, many

of you were among those who
assembled in Kirby Fieldhouse as
I introduced myself to the student
body and spoke to my perceptions
of the brotherhood of Hampden-
Sydney College. It was then that
I first mentioned Ubuntu, the Zulu
word that conveys the spirit of
this place founded so long ago by
Samuel Stanhope
Smith. It was he
who first set forth
our College's

mission to form
the good man and
good citizen in
an atmosphere of
sound learning
and. while I
recognize that my predecessor
some 235 years ago paid little
heed to the southern horn of the
continent of Africa, the words he
adopted as our guiding light are
captured in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu means that the
Hampden-Sydney man is his
brother's keeper. You have now
joined that larger brotherhood we
call the alumni body and they too
engage you in the spirit of Ubuntu.
Those who have walked these
hallowed grounds in years past
have your back, your left side,
your right side, and whenever
needed will lead you forward.
And in the years ahead, it will be
your fortune to mentor those who
follow you, and to nurture this
alma mater, this loving mother
who has prepared you for the

global society of the twenty-first
century, a world that desperately
needs the Hampden-Sydney man.

So, you have now departed the
gates for the last time as a student,
but do not be a stranger in the years
ahead. Come back often. Take
frequent walks down memory lane
and help to underwrite the dreams
of those who follow. You depart
with the best wishes of all those
whose lives you have touched in
these years at Hampden-Sydney.
Thank you for the memories you
have given me. Keep in touch...
and always remember that you are
first and foremost a Hampden-
Sydney gentleman.

Ubuntu! God bless and God
speed.

Entering the 2009
football season the
Hampden-Sydney
football team was
surrounded by equal
parts optimism and
skepticism. Late season
stumbles prevented the
Tigers from making
the playoffs in 2008,
which left a bad taste in
the mouth of all Tiger
football's faithful.

Without doubt, the
2009 football team did
not disappoint! Going
into the ODAC final
against Randolph

Macon, the Tigers
were an unbelievable
9-0. The final result
of the championship:

FOOTBALL

Good triumphed over
Evil, and the Tigers
won the 2009 ODAC
Championship. The
2009 squad was only the
second Tiger football
team ever to record a

All said, the word
historic is the only
way to describe the
talented group of
players who worked

together to achieve
this monumental goal.
In the aftermath. Will
Riggenbach was named
ODAC Defensife

Player of the Year;
Josh Miller received
ODAC Scholar of the
Year, along with a long
talented cohort of Ail-
Americans. The 2009
Tigers set a high bar,
but with the return of a
talented group including
two AU-Americans on
defense and a core of
offensive experience,
the 2010 Tigers look
primed to continue the
winning tradition of
Tiger football!

SOCCER

Coming off the 12-6-1 2008
season, expectations were high
for the 2009 squad, and the Tigers
delivered with a record-breaking
year. At 16-4 overall and 8-2 in
conference play, the Tigers posted
the most wms in the 41 -year history
of the soccer program.

Offensively, the Tigers played a
beautiful brand of soccer, relying on
quick balls played to feet. Despite
senior captain Will Robertson

succumbing to a torn ACL just 5
games in, the Tigers constructed a
fiery offensive line that at its best
scored 5 goals against the ODAC
powerhouse Roanoke.

Key to the Tigers season was the
water-tight back line. The Tigers
defensemen only conceeded 12
goals in 20 games, and tallied i 1
shutouts— the best in the ODAC for
both stats. Without doubt, the 2009
squad was one for the ages.

Basketball

~by Steve Cuccia and Brett Chonko

Coming off Head Coach Dee
Vick's first season at the helm of his
alma mater, the 2009-2010 Tigers
looked to make a run at their 11th
ODAC title. Returning from last
year was 3-time All-ODAC guard
senior Turner King. Accompanying
Turner were sophomore Ben Jessee,
who averaged an excellent 15.1
points per game during his rookie
campaign, and senior Jonathan
Mudd, the heart and soul of the team
and elected co-captain with King.

In the face of an immensely
difficult schedule, the Tigers
suffered some nail-biting losses,
most notably to Randolph Macon , in
which Macon scored a buzzer-beater
for the come-from-behind win.

However, at 6-9, the Tigers went
on a winning streak that put them
back in ODAC title contention. Led
by Turner "Superman" King, the
Tigers went on a tear, winning the
next 5 games, 4 of which were in
conference.

At 13-13. the Tigers made strong

steps on establishing a high-powered
basketball program. Next year, we
will look for Coach Vick to lead the
Tigers to another ODAC title.

A Winter Wonderland

Snow Hits the Hill Hard

A Black Tie Ball to Remember
Dancing in a Blizzard

The 2009-2010 winter in
Hampden Sydney was one of the
worst in recent memory. The first
real hit came on December 18th,
just as everyone left the hill for
Christmas break. Shortly after
returning to the hill though, we
were slammed again. On the eve
of the Winter Ball, January 30th,
the Hill was blanketed with a foot
or more.

Despite the snow. Student Body
President Pierce Robbins made
the call to move forward with the
evening. Although the 21 piece
swing band couldn't make it,
an excellent jazz quartet out of
Farmville and Wren Williams on
the turn table saved the night.

,s-,.,

-Cimo

"After an entire semester
spent planning for the Black
Tie Ball, all of the Student
Government officers and Ball
committee members were
extremely excited to make the
Ball happen. When that snow
came falling down, we just
decided we had to go on with
the party. I think the snow
made everyone a bit more
adventurous, more excited
and ready to have fun."

Senior Olander Fleming

"I had a blast during the 2010
Black Tie Ball. The 24 hours
leading up to the ball seemed
to indicate the Ball would be
a bust. A huge snowstorm
was approaching, but The
night turned out to be a good
one."

TRAYLESS TRAUMA

SCRAP Sparks Environmental Debate

~by senior Brett Chonko

In the spring of 2010, the
campus was divided by one of
the most passionate debates in
recent memory: whether or not
to go green by going Trayless in
the Commons.

The movement was started
by SCRAP, Hampden-Sydney's
student recycling organization,
headed up by senior Miguel
MogoUon. scrap's argument
centered on the responsibility
of protecting one's environment
by conserving resources. Many
colleges around the nation have
gone Trayless in recent years
because data shows that not
using trays saves energy by not
having to wash as much and
substantially cuts down on food
wastes.

On the right hand side of
the argument stood most of

Trayless

Why we should be part of the trayless pilot program?

The purpose o( Ihe Traylesi Pilal Program is to gather data over three
dayi about the practicality of going trayless This proposal was made
by students, campaigned for by students, and approved by the Student

the Hampden-Sydney student
body, who built their defense
on individual rights. Not having
trays of course is more of a hassle,
causing students to return to the
food lines multiple times. Some
even went as far as to condemn
the policy as tyrannical!

The debate sparked student
involvement from both sides
and inspired discussion sessions
at night and even a debate
among Economics professors

Dr. Kenneth Townsend, who
specializes in Environmental
Economics, and Dr. Anthony
Carilli, who is a right-wing
libertarian. The debate climaxed
in a Trayless trial period shortly
following spring break.

Ultimately, Aramark and the
Student Senate found that the
data gathered did not provide
sufficient evidence to overturn
the popular stance of remaining
with trays.

are worth the (public)
costs! Go trayless;

111 the world of ODAC Tennis,
Washington and Lee is Goliath and
all other ODAC schools are David.
In 2009. the Hampden-Sydney
Tiger Tennis team took on the role
of David and was able to triumph
over Goliath ending W&L's 27
year streak of consecutive ODAC
Conference titles. In 2010, the
Tigers looked to continue their
dominant role.

After starting off with a 5 game
winning streak, the tigers entered
their first real challenge, facing
W & L's Generals at home. After
a drama-filled match, the Tigers
emerged victorious 5-4, thanks
to the final W garnered by senior
captain Will Moss.

After the huge win over the
Generals, who were #22 nationally
at the time, the Tiger's continued to
their 6 game winning streak, rolling
past Roanoke, Guilford, and Emory
and Henry. The 2010 Tiger Tennis
team was off to its best start in

TENNIS

school histoi"y with an impressive
9-0 record and also was able to
achieve its first national ranking in
school history at #23. In fact, during
the regular season, the Tigers only
dropped three matches, and entered
the ODAC championship at an
amazing 13-3, after picking up a
very closely contested match 5-4
against Washington College.

After beating both Virginia
Wesleyan and Roanoke without
dropping a single match, the Tigers
unfortunately went down in the
final against W & L. Nonetheless,
the 2010 Tiger Tennis squad boasts
a 15-4 record, one of the best in
the history of the program. Head
skipper Murrie Bates took home his
second ODAC Coach of the Year
honor.

The tennis squad only loses two
seniors. Moss and Holzapfel, and
will be looking next year to knock
the Generals off their stoop once
again.

Will Moss

Senior co-captain Will Moss
has been a dominating presence
on the Tigers temiis squad for
his four years on the Hill. In fact,
his loss in tthe 2010 ODAC final
was his only loss ever in four
years. This year. Will took home
his second straight ODAC/Farm
Bureau Scholar Athlete of the
Year Award and his fourth straight
ODAC Player of the Year Honor.
Moss's four straight ODAC POY
honors makes him just the second
athlete in any sport in ODAC
histoiy to win the POY award in
four consecutive years. Hampden-
Sydney was honored to share in
Will's success during his tenure.

TIGERS

~by senior Brett Chonko

The 2010 Lacrosse
team had high hopes
entering the season.
Coach Rostan and the
squad looked forward
to a winning campaign
after the growth of the
young, inexperienced
2009 team. The 2010
schedule would be
long and grueling, and
would include 6 teams
that finished Top 10 in
the nation at the close
of the 2009 season,
most notably the #3
Gettysburg College and
the #8 Roanoke College.

The program got
started with a bang,
delivering a closely-
contested victory over
Mary Washington in
week one.

Upon facing

Washington and Lee

away at the half point
in the season, the tigers
stood 5-3. Three losses
all came from nationally
ranked opponents.

Nonetheless, the Tigers
posted great wins over
Marymount, Washington
College, Elizabethtown,
and Greensboro in
their non-conference
competition.

On April 14'\ with just
two weeks before the
first round of the ODAC
tournament, the Tigers
had truly hit their stride.
Having gone 7-2 in a
winning run that would
ultimately amount to a
13-2 streak, the Tigers
were one of the best
teams in the country.
This convincing win
over Randolph College
demonstrates the height

LACROSSE

of the Tigers' skill.

The dominating

win over Virginia
Wesleyan College in
the quarterfinals of the
ODAC tournament

was a great start to
post-season that would

ultimately be cut short
by a tough Lynchburg
squad. Nonetheless, the
Tigers lacrosse team
finished at 13-5 and 5-2
in ODAC competition,
one of the best seasons
in the program's history.

Kyle Jett
& Daniel Martin

Standing out from the pack were
senior midfielder Kyle Jett and senior
defenseman Daniel Martin. Martin led
the unit with 26 caused turnovers, and
also grabbed 42 ground balls.

This is Jetl's second selection to
the All-American Team. His 68 points
set a new H-S record for points by a
midfielder, and were tied for the third
most at any position in program history.
Jett was also selected to the Scholar All-
.'Xmerican Team. He is just the fourth
player in program history to earn that
honor, and onl> the third H-S student-
athlete from any sport to ever receive
All-American and Academic All-
.Xmerican status in the same season.

Following a 20-19
2009 campaign, the 2010
Baseball Tigers were
hungiy for improvement.
After losing only 3 Seniors
from the 2009 team, a
more experienced Tigers
squad rallied from early
mistakes to finish 23-10-
1, one of the best winning
percentages in the history
of the program.

The void left by
the 3 seniors was
immediately filled by
capable underclassmen,
most notably junior first
baseman Justin Herbert
and outfielder Jordan
Wind. Junior Herbie
Williams once again led
the team in stolen bases
with 34, and hits with
60. As a team, H-SC's
offense led the ODAC in

BASEBALL

homeruns (37), triples (19)
and slugging percentage
(.516).

While the team was an
offensive juggernaut, the
pitching staff was equally
as effective. The pitching

Ben Brawley

staff was first in the
conference in opposing
batting average (.287)
and second in earned run
average (4.95). Seniors
John West and Ryan
Daniel anchored the

weekend rotation. On
the year, West was 8-2,
and Daniel was 7-4. West
was a tme workliorse on
the mound, leading the
conference in innings
pitched with 75, wins with
8, games started with 11,
and walks per game with
.96. West also ranked 4th
in the conference with
an ERA of 3.12, while
also throwing 8 complete
games.

Overall, this year's
team ranked second in
team batting average, at
.335, second in team ERA
at 4.95, and first in fielding
percentage at .969.

At the helm of this
machine was Head Coach
Jeff Kinne. Kinne was
named ODAC Coach
of the year in 2010, for
the third time in his six
seasons at Hampden-
Sydney.

The Tigers look to
repeat the 2010 season's
success next spring.

\iN(b

Leads the Charge

The offensive charge, however,
was lead by Senior Matt Brown. On
the year. Brown earned Second Team
All-America, First Team All-South
Region and First Team AU-ODAC
honors

The senior was twice named the
ODAC Player of the Week, while
breaking a slew of H-SC records:
single-season homerun record (15),
RBI (53), and total bases (118). The

Spring Break

H-SC Students Bring the
Abuntu Spirit to Belize

~by sophomore Barrett Polan

Over spring break, seven
Hampden Sydney students.
Dean Mladen Cvijanovic '08,
and Drew Prehmus '08 ventured
deep into southern Belize to
the town of Punta Gorda in the
Toledo District. The group
was led by Charlie Joe Green
in conjunction with the Rivers
of the World Ministry and the
Beyond the Hill program.

Rivers of the World (ROW) is a
not-for-profit Christian ministry
founded and
directed by
Ben Mathes,
a great friend
to Hampden-
Sydney

College and
the Beyond the
Hill program.
In Belize, the
group met up
with Charlie
Joe and began
the five-hour
journey to the
Toledo District
in Punta Gorda
Belize.

The main goal of the group was
to continue work on the Maternity
Annex at the Punta Gorda Poly
Clinic and Hospital. The building
process of the Maternity Annex
began in January of 2010 with

in southern

a group of Hampden-Sydney
students. During the January
trip, the students built the walls
and poured the concrete for the
second floor of the building.
The spring break group began
furiously mixing cement and
assisting in the building of the
walls, laying more than 1,500
cement blocks.

Jacob Newton '10, a student
trip leader and the most
experienced member of the
group was invaluable in teaching
the group

members the
intricacies of
mixing cement
and general
job site skills.
Dean Mladen
Cvijanovic '08
consistently
kept the best
interests of the
group in mind,
while mixing
in a heavy dose
of humor that
kept the work site lively and
productive.

During the middle of the
workweek, the group ventured
farther into the pristine Belizean
wilderness to the village of Santa
Teresa. Although unannounced,
the group was received wannly

by the residents of the village and
spent the day giving out school
supplies, hygiene products, and
clothing, which were collected
prior to departing for Belize.

The trip was truly an eye
opening experience for Beyond
the Hill rookies, and both Dean
Cvijanovic and Jacob Newton
considered the trip on of the best
trips they had ever been on. The
Beyond the Hill program is yet
another example of the types of
unique opportunities provided to
Hampden-Sydney students.
