SENIOR CLASS Malcolm Samuel Stinnett BUCHANAN, VA. Phi Beta Pi; Interne Club. Mack , as lie is Isnown to liis many friends, is a product of the mountain section of tlie Old Dominion. He came to M. C. V. four years ago. after having had his pre-medical work at Wash- ington and Lee. At both institutions his worlc has been of excellent quality. His aim is to roach the standard and to lend aid to his fellow man. He has a combination of attributes which will go to mark him for a real doctor. He is a conscientious student, a gentleinan of high morals and ideals, a man with a jovial, sincere per- sonality and unhesitating manner. Along with these many attributes he is also a talented ladies ' man. Many a fair maiden ' s heart suffers auricular fibrillation at the thought of this fair gentle- man with the honest smile. We shall always be proud to remember him among our own men, and every one joins in wish- ing him success in his chosen profession. Stanley Francis Stockhammer NEW YORK CITY Theta Kappa Psi ; Assistant Director of School Orchestra. Quiet, unassuming and congenial, with modesty and quiet dignity marking every social and pro- fessional move; with a mind scientifically trained for the truth In all his studies, Stocky flashed like a meteor into the Intellectual field of our sophomore year. Ever since he has been as outstanding as a star of the first magnitude in his comradeship, his studies, and his music. Musically Inclined, his ability as a pianist has done much toward making the college orchestra a success. Stocky joined us in the second year of our struggle for a medical education, having had one year of medicine at the University of West Virginia, and his pre-medical work at New Y ' ork University. Truly, we consider his coming our gain and West Virginia ' s loss. It is with regret that we see him leave us, and we are confident that ho will attain the greatest success in his chosen profession back in his native state of New York. MEDICAL SCHOOL

SENIOR CLASS Thomas Nathaniel Spessard RICHMOND, VA. Phi Chi; Pi Kappa Alplia; Hampden-Siclnejt College; Varsity Tennis Team, 1924- ' 25- ' 2li- ' 27 ; Interne Club; Secretary-Treasurer Athletic Association; R. O. T. C. ; German Club; Class Basketball, 1924- ' 25- ' 26. Jake , who started his training for professional work at Hampden-Sidney, says they turn out some good men from small schools. We agree with him, for they sent him to M. C. V. in ' 23 to begin the study of medicine. He is very professional in his athletic activities as well as other things, because he is an effl- cient member of the tennis team, and now seems to have become a celebrated golf player. Another way Jake exercises is doing ' tlie class griping, and is duly elected president of the Gripers ' piub. But probably in this way, as in many other ways, he has helped his class and school. So we all feel confident that Jake will soon be: among the leaders of his profession. To this end at least he lias the unanimous best wishes of his classmates. Wilbur Sylvester Stakes RICHMOND, VA. Omega Upsilon Phi; Square and Compass Fraternity; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 23, ' ident, 1926-27; Student Volunteer Group; Randolph-Macon Club; Interne Club; Home Hospital; R. O. T. C. Purpose is what gives life a meaning. ITnassuniing and quiet, guided by the highest ideals of life, Wilbur has gone his way making- friends of all. He is one of the best students of the class, a Mason, and a gentleman. In the pro- fession he will minister not only to the physical but to the spiritual needs of his fellow man. There are very few girls in our school, but Wilbur has enough in otlier schools of Richmond for the entire class. His pleasant disposition and pleasant smile, as well as his abiding friendsliip and tact have endeared him to the hearts of thei whole college. His Student Volunteer and Y. M. C. A. work have stamped him as a leader. We believe the heathen will not have long to sutler witli many curable diseases after he has reached his port. We predict a slashing success with the knife — Selah! MEDICAL SCHOOL

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.
