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.

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 Alpheus Hartley Wood EMPORIA, VA. Phi Chi; Phi Kappa Sigma; Chi Beta Phi; German Club; Interne Club. We hesitate to make a diagnosis of this case. He is so unobtrusive. We have had Detective Burns shadow him for weeks, but little could be learned of his private life. His particular delight seems to be in sticking to his room o ' nights, alone with his jug and books. His height is six cubits and a span. On learning that ninety-flve per cent of all deaths occur in bed, he decided to spurn death in this ignominious manner; hence he sits up all night and reads Medical Diagnosis. Ha has improved rapidly since his sophomore year when he told Dr. Haskell that the dose of magnesium sulfate was one-half grain well diluted. We commend him to all suffering humanity. Victor Kellam Young BLOXOM, VA. Omega Upsilon Phi; Secretary-Treasurer Freshman Class; William and Mary Club; Interne Peninsula General Hospital. Behold before you the likeness of Victor K. Young, M.D., who is soon to be let loose on the unsuspecting populace of the eastern shore. But those who come to Victor for medical succor will not leave his office unaided, for this young physician has proven himself a real student and a true follower of Aesculapius during his stay in college. His time in the Medical College of Virginia has not only been a profitable one from the stand- point of learning, but he has made friends of all with whom he has been associated. The Medical College of Virginia hates to lose you, Victor, but press forward to the success which a.ssuredly awaits you. MEDICAL SCHOOL
