SENIOR CLASS John Hodges Fitzgerald KEYSVILLE, VA. Xi Psi Phi; Washington and Lee Club; German Club; Vice-President Student Body, 1925-26; Dental Society. It is hard to believe that Keysville, Va., could turn out a man the caliber of Fitz. ' ' In knowing him we will have life-long memories of his easy-going manner, his ever-ready smile, and unusual ability as a bull artist. Aside from his wit and indifference to worry, he has proven a hard and earnest worker, and it may be said of him that he never gripes. In Fitz we have found a true friend for every emergency. In his chosen profession with his pleasing personality and congenial manners we know he will prove a success. James Robert Fleet STEVENSVILLE, VA. Psi Omega; Historian Freshman Class; Athletic Representative Sophomore and Junior Classes; Basketball Team, •25- ' 26; Baseball Team, ' 24- ' 25; Class Basketball, ' 24- ' 25- ' 26- ' 27. Fleet , the youngest member of our class, came to us in the fall of ' 23 after a year of pre- dental work at the University of Richmond, Virginia. By hard work and a deep interest in the things at hand, he was early recognized by both faculty and students as a man of unusual ability. It is needless to say that after these years he still holds this enviable position. But Fleet is not only a student. On the contrary, he has taken more interest in college activ- ities than any other member of our class. He has ably represented us for two years on the Athletic Council and in addition is a letter man in both basketball and baseball. And when you speak of winimin , well, suffice it to say that he is interested. With his going M. C. V. loses a student and a man, but the world and the dental profession gain by our loss. We wish and predict for him the greatest success. DENTAL SCHOOL

Senior Dental Class History N that memorable day, September 15th, 1923, there entered through the portals of this glorious old M. C. V. ten young, ambitious men with their wagon hitched to the same star — that golden shining light which bears the name, Doctor of Dental Surgery. Now, as we approach the end of our last year, we can look back at the past and derive great pleasure from the time-honored maxim: The greatest happiness comes from the knowledge of work well done. The way has been long and the going rough, but we have done our best, and when graduation comes let us hope that we will march to the graduation exercise, as we have marched to so many classes, (with every member on time). But ours was not all a tale of work. Believing in the old adage, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, when time presented we played just as hard as we studied. It will be hard for many of us to forget the times we used to strut our onions down Broad Street with our old Squaw, and all the time realizing that our pocketbooks were flatter than a pulpal wall. Again we will often be reminded of the Saturday morning ' s sleep in Dr. Knott ' s lecture on Certain Substances. After four hard years spent in a molar college, four hard years interrupted by studying, we are fast approaching the time when we can drop anchor and row ashore on the boats of Ambition and Courage to the shores of the land of Opportunity and Chance.

SENIOR CLASS Spencer Harris Hayman HUNTINGTON , W. VA. Psi Omega; Ohio College Dental Surs Cincinnati; Morris Harvey College; Square and Compass Club. Harry Joined us in the fall of 192S, having been exposed to three years of dental instruction at Ohio College of Dental Surgery. He is always ready to give the ladies a treat by being present wherever they are congregated. This young man from West Virginia is showing- us that he derived a great deal of knowledge from his years at Cincinnati. He stands among the leaders of his class in theory , and his work in the lab and infirmary assure us of his success in future years. A thorough gentleman, a de- lightful companion, and an invaluable friend; he carries with him our best wishes as he goes forth to make a great name for himself in the field of dentistry. George Frank Joyce STUART, VA. Xi Psi Phi Skull and Bones Representatives, ' 24, ' 25, ' 26; Assistant Manager Baseball, Manager Baseball, 1926; Vice-President Student Body, ' 26- ' 27. Throughout his four years with us Frank has held a place in the front ranks of those who can be relied upon whenever there was something to be done through which his school or class might benefit. His pleasing personality and gentlemanly character have won for him a host of friends, and he possesses the highest esteem and best wishes of them all. Frank leaves a string of broken hearts due to the fact that last summer Cupid overtook him and he was lead to the fatal altar of matrimony. With the unfolding of future years which are to change the happenings of today into memories of tomorrow, for Frank we predict success which he justly deserves. DENTAL SCHOOL
