SENIOR CLASS James Thomas Tucker HUNTINGTON, W. VA. Theta Chi; Phi Ohi; Sliull ■26- ' 27; X-Ray Staff, ' 25- ' 26 and Bones Staff, ' 23- ' 24, ' 24- ' 25; Editor of Student Directory, ' 25- ' 2fi, President of German Cluh, ' 26- ' 27; Interne Cluh; University of Rich- mond Club; West Virginia Club. Born to the Clan Tucker sometime, in the late nineties, one Jimmie , heir-apparent to the throne of natural accomplishments. For nature did her handiwork in creating him — a noble specimen of manhood, physically and mentally — there is no doubt. He is tall, lithe, dignified, commanding and silent by nature, realizing fully that a handsome man can never talk as well as he looks. Born in Richmond, educated at Richmond College with a finishing course taken in the A. B. P., Jimmie decided the study of medicine should pique his interests, and with high resolve and firm determination he came to the Medical College of Virginia, where time has shown that Jimmie h;Cs chosen wisely. The profession will gather color and stability by having him, and his class- mates will possess richer and more mellowed memories from having known Jimmie T. Tucker JUDSON TOMKIES VaUGHAN ASHLAND, VA. Alpha Kappa Kappa; A.B., Randolph-Macon, 1923; University of Virginia, 1923-24; White Medical Society; Chi Beta Phi; Randolph-Macon Club. Though we may know little of Ashland, Va., still for it we know one real recommendation e. g., J. T. Vaughan. Skezicks , as he is familiarly and affectionately known to his friends, is that rara avis a serious-minded, excellent student, but not a grind, modest, self-effacing, yet always sociable and friendly. He possesses a quiet humor which is constantly betrayed in the fun-loving twinkle of his eyes. We wish we could claim him for the entire four years of medicine, but he attended the Uni- versity of Virginia for his first year. Whether his subsequent success has been because of his initial year of instruction or in spite of it may be a subject open to debate. A consistently good scholar, a thorough gentleman, a true and dependable friend are those characteristics which enable us to predict for him an unqualified success in whatever field of en- deavor he may choose.

SENIOR CLASS Roy Roosevelt Summers CLENDENIN, W. VA. Phi Beta Pi; B.S. Degree; West Virginia CIuId; German Clui]; Class Basketliall; Sigma Phi Epsi ' .on; Sphinx; Phi Sigma Nu. Ted came to us from Clendenin. a little town located on Elk River and overshadowed by the true and rugged hills ot West Virginia. His ability and fine personality have won many friends, and he is gladly numbered as one of those of whom we are justly; proud. A retrospective view in- forms us that his medical studies as well as his social activities have not been neglected. Thus he possesses a combination that go hand in hand and lead to a palace of success. In every club and organization his name is known, and a whisper seems to tell us that more than once he has won renown; and now we wonder if he is not golf chanipion of our school. Ted does not have any obstacles to pass when a date with the fairer sex is wanted, unless there is a confusion of thoughts when he tries to decide which one. For damsels gay seem in one accord when it comes to ap- preciating a man fair, with winning ways. Good luck, friend, you are bound for success, and we are waiting to hear from you in the future. Julian Earle Trainum RICHMOND, VA. Dr Trainum is an alumnus of University of Richmond. The subject of this sketch needs no introduction to any one who has attended University of Richmond, or to any man who was in Medical School when he entered, or those who followed him. Some say that Julian comes under the classification given by one of our eminent professors during the junior year. He is never more contented or happy than when he hat .an audience listening to one of his true stories that he secured from one ot his friends on Church Hill. Trainum is classed as one of our most consistent class cutters and by the luck of the Irish have gotten by with it. Altogether, Trainum is a likable fellow, full of life and a good student, and we are sure that he will make his mark as an M.D., and if Doug does not look to his laurels, Dick is likely to steal his thunder.

SENIOR CLASS Felix Burwell Wei.ton MOOREFIELD, W. VA. Felix is so well known to us of M. C. V. that it is foolish for one to give him the usual line that goes with a Senior Wrlte-Up. When a man is known so well, what need is there of an introduction? Felix is rather serious-minded and always thinks first of his work and of his duty to his fellow man and God. Nevertheless, he finds plenty of time to bull with his friends. From him we of the present Senior Class have come to know some of the ideals that a man of our profession should possess, for he is ever courteous, patient, cheerful, optimistic, prompt and exact with his work, and ever ready to lend the assisting hand. It is said that he will go to the foreign fields, .and ■ we know of no one who is better qualified. So Felix, our loss is merely Africa ' s gain, and we wish you luck. John Cecil White CHATHAM, VA. Phi Chi; Theta Chi; Chi Beta Phi; B.S. Degree. John Cecil White of Chatham, Va., came with the rest of us to M. C. V. after having taught school for two years in Buckingham county. Due either to this experience in: pedagogy or to his natural appetite for learning, or both. Jack has passed through his four years in medicine, having a most creditable record behind him. He has worked faithfully and well, as his record shows. He has been friendly and kind (o all with whom he has come in contact and. in short, he atandt n.g.-. in th? estiination of all who know him.
