In keeping with its reputation as a hotbed of preppies, the latest yearbook is now available at Hampden-Sydney College. It's from 1981. "In the truest prep fashion, the book arrived fashionably late," said Tom Robinson, the college's news and information officer. Hampden-Sydney, one of the last remaining all-male schools in the country, thrives as a bastion of Virginia prep.

The dress code is khakis, sport shirts bearing the Lacoste Izod alligator and Sperry Topsiders, well-known white-soled boat shoes. So it was only fitting that the 1981 edition of Kaleidoscope came not only three years after graduation, but covered in madras plaid and bearing the title, "The Official Preppy Yearbook." "The wait has proved worthwhile, for showcased in this madras-bound yearbook is Hampden-Sydney life as it is meant to be," Robinson said. The cover is styled after "The Official Preppy Handbook" and the yearbook's introduction is written by the handbook's author, Lisa Birnbach. In her introduction, Ms. Birnbach praises Hampden-Sydney as "a College that time forgot, still a breeding ground for the right boys, with beautiful surroundings, and southern gentility.

"There students can still actually study the liberal arts because they will be able to mooch off their parents for the rest of their lives." The cover inset features caricatures of H-SC President Josiah Bunting III and his wife, Diana, and Brooks Brothers' golden fleece logo. Ms. Birnbach spoke of the Buntings in her introduction. For unknown reasons, the 1981 yearbook staff "just dropped the ball." When college officials learned of it toward the end of the school year, it was too late to complete the work.

Hampden–Sydney College (H–SC) is a private liberal arts college for men in Hampden Sydney, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1775, it is the oldest privately chartered college in the Southern United States, the tenth-oldest college in the US, the last college founded before the American Declaration of Independence, and the oldest of the four-year, all-male liberal arts colleges remaining in the United States. Hampden–Sydney College is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Best for decorating. Not sleeping.
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These are perfect as inserts for decorative shams and the price was great. I don't think that I would ever want to use them for sleeping. They seem slightly lumpy and don't look they would last for very long with constant use.

Great value, soft but still supportive – perfect for everyday use
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
Really impressed with these pillows for the price. They’re soft but still provide decent support, and work well for both back and side sleeping. No weird smell and very comfortable overall. Definitely a great budget option! 👍

Good value

I bought these pillows for my son, and he really likes them. They are soft and comfortable, perfect for sleeping and even hugging to fall asleep. They hold their shape well after washing. Overall, a good value for the price!
