THE X-RAY-1922 25 JOSEPH COATES Danville, Va. Joe B. A., Randolph-Macon College; Omega Upsilon Phi; Randolph- Macon Club; Interne Soldiers Home 1921-22; Internes Club. Never saj), ' Fail ' . Joe came to us, a seasoned veteran. His childhood days he spent climbing the hills around Danville; during adolescence he received a degree from Randolph-Macon College and his early adult life he devoted to the youths of his native State. Landing in M. C. V., he soon made himself known by the now famous phrase, He speaks of — . During his four years ' study here, Joe has done well. He has made many friends, over- come great obstables, and secured a firm grasp on the fundamentals of medicine. Hard work always has its reward and we feel sure that Joe ' s reward will be in just proportion to his efforts. We wish you the best of luck and the greatest success. WILLIAM JENNINGS CRAWFORD La Grange, N. C. j Slant Phi Chi; Sigma Phi Epsilon; Trin- ity College; Interne Memorial Hos- pital ; N. C. Club ; Interne Club ; Masonic Club; F. L. E. S. A fair exterior is a silent recommendation. If nick-names are a sign of popularity, this blond brother from the Old North State is ex- tremely popular, for he is variously known as Slant , Blondy , Rosary Twin , etc. And his popularity is not confined to the male sex alone. The ladies all fall for him. But, strange to say, he passes them all by in dark disdain. Back of pleasant face, high forehead and goody shock of blond hair, is one of the most brilliant minds in the class. He can quote Osier by the page, and is often heard in the halls, just before a quiz, expounding symtoms to his less fortunate brothers. His chief diversion is an occasional visit to St. Elmo ' s , where he is considered a star of the first magnitude. Slant is a splendid fellow and a true friend, possessed of a pleasing manner, a goodly store of knowledge and a good conscience. He cannot help but attain success.

24 THE X-RAY-1922 CHARLES MARTIN CARAVATI Richmond, Va. Carrie Phi Chi; Lambda Chi Alpha; Uni- versity of Richmond: Basket Ball 1918-1919-1920-1921 ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet 1918-1919; X-Ray Staff 1921 ; President Sophomore Class; University of Richmond Club; K. C. Club; Interne Virginia Hospital; Internes Club. Eat, drink, an be merry, for tomorrow we mat; die . This merry looking young man with the spark- ling eyes is the optimist of our class. With a sunny smile and a hearty slap on the back, he ever greets his friends. Nothing daunts his spirit, and to know Carrie is to like him. Certainly such assets as these are not possessed by every young man. Carrie is a man of many accomplishments, his specialty at present being ambulance riding, and telling weird stories of his thrilling rides in the wee sma ' hours. Carrie has a super-human ability for doing much work well, and his grades have always hov- ered around the top notch. Truly, a more like- able fellow, could not be found. He has sterling character, sound sense and unusual ability. With his assets, personality and disposition, success must surely follow. He takes with him our most sin- cere and heartfelt good wishes. ROBERT FREDERICK CLINE Stephen City, Va. Tauro Phi Rho Sigma; Omicron Beta Chi; Roanoke. College; Interne City Home Hospital 1921-22; Internes Club; F. L. E.s. He adorned whatever subject he spoke upon by the most splendid eloquence . Cline decided to study Medicine at M. C. V. after completing his pre-medical work at Roanoke College. Many obstacles have beset his pathway during the last four years, but he has never wav- ered in his determination to win an M. D. He has worked hard and diligently and has gained a name for himself as a good student. Cline will be remembered also by what his nick-name implies. In this respect, he is unex- celled by any member of the class. In the class- room, he is never at a loss for an answer, and outside, he can talk on any subject. His speech- center is so highly developed that he is never at a loss for something to say. Enthusiasm, that spark so essential in one ' s work, is readily evidenced when anything new is mentioned to him, and one believes it will not wane as he continues his work. His determina- tion, enthusiasm and perseverance are qualities suf- ficient for us to base a prophecy for his successful career.

26 THE X-RAY-1922 WILLIAM EDWIN DICKERSON Danville, Va. Dick University of Richmond; Kappa Sigma; Phi Chi; President Class 1918-19 and 1920-21; Vice-Presi- dent of University of Richmond Club 1919-20; Varsity Basket Ball, 1 9 1 9 - 20 - 2 1 ; President Internes Club, 1922; F. L. E ' s; Y. M. C. A., 1918-19-20; Interne City Home Hospital, 1921-22. The last pleasure in life is ihe sense of dis- charging one ' s duty. Dick ' s specialties are basket ball and the ladies, whenever he relaxes from these arduous toils, he practices on the fortunate (?) inmates of the City Home, and occasionally reads a little Medicine. Yet he consistently pulls down high grades, and with the help of his voluminous notes, is sailing thru with flying colors. A ready smile, and attractive personality, and an ability for lead- ership, both in the class-room and about school, are factors that unite to make him a man of true worth and merit and an honor to the class of which he is a member. POWELL GRAHAM FOX Drewryville, Va. P. C. Omega Upsilon Phi, William and Mary College; F. L. E ' s, William and Mary Club ; Internes ' Club ; Tidewater Club; X-ray Staff, 1920-21 ; Business Manager X-Ray, 1921-22; Interne Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton, Pa., 1921. Wherever there is love of mankind, There is love of medical art. — Hippocrates. This is our ladies ' man. A product of Drewry- ville, Va., received his college education at Wil- liam and Mary College, and came to us complain- ing of cordiac affections. Whether environment of inherited characteristics have given power among the fairer sex, we dare not venture to state. Be that as it may, he was soon known to us as one for whom they fall. And it was distinctly THEY in the early part of his career at M. C. V., but since his distribution of maps in the Keystone State he has been specializing in one-ism. Now, not all his time has been consumed by the gentle ones for he has proved himself to be an all-round man. In the class-room, in student body activities and in the activities of the smaller groups of students he has stood well, often in the foremost. All in all, P. G. is a straightforward, clear thinking, and practical man and a class mem- ber of whom we are proud. He has begun well his life ' s work and success will be his reward.
