Former Vice President Alben W. Barkley at the Washington and Lee Mock Democratic Convention on April 30, 1956. This is the last picture taken of Vice President Barkley. Avery Johning, a student at the school, took the photo. Former Vice President Barkley had just employed his razor-sharp wit to quiet a heckler in the audience off to his left. Student leaders behind him were applauding and laughing at the mention of the squelched heckler.
