JAMES R. CHAPELL BRISTOL, VIKI.INJA Jim Matkiculatkii 1921 Eirst Year: Private Cn. A, E(Hit1)all .S(iiia(l, VV ' restlinii Team, N ' irginia I ' luli, Ln- tillion dull, Piililic Speaking.

Jim came t(i us last year and at (ince made himself loved liy all, due jiartly to his pleasing personality and ]iartly to his ex- cellent school spirit. Me is always in a good humor, and just as willing to hel]i one of the hoys as to escort one of the lair sex to a lance, or make one ol his sjiec- tacular plays on the gridiron. S]ieaking ol the fair sex reminds us that Jim is one of our most widely known social lions, luuing lieen present at e ery school and private entertainment during his two years ' sojourn with us. We hear that he has an Affaire d ' amour in e ery town trom Bristol to Eort I )efiance ; howexer, this is only one of his minor attainments. It is on the gridiron where jim really shines. His first year it was disco ered that all he lacked was a little veight, when he re- turned this year all who saw our star center could readily see that he had gained this re- quirement. East year Jim was one ol our most military Keydets, and he has lieen rewarded this year with raiiid a l ance- metits now lieing thi ' highest ranking sec- ond year man on the hill, kie expects to enter V. P. E next year, where we all wish him the same success that he has met with here; no cine could wish him more.
