GILMER G. HOLLAND Holland, Va. Baby Alpha Kappa Kappa; A. B. Elon College; In- terne Memorial Hospital, 1918- ' 19. Baby Holland has been with us long enough to impress upon us his fondness for women — verses — and perhaps? — wine. His habits are impressively regular. At 7:30 P. M. he begins to comb his hair, de- pletes the powder box and at eight he is ofF for the movies writh his Fair One. During the day, when not at class, you find him gracefully reclining in his Morris chair and, from all appearances, grinding away on Neurology or Surgery. Not so — closer inspection will reveal an American, Red Book, Top Notch, Snappy Stories, or some such, in his hands. He has right- fully been termed our Couch Lizard and Magazine Hound. But with all his fond- ness for ladies and stories he will make a fine doctor for he has a cheering word and a happy smile for all. LAWRENCE H. HOOVER White House, Va. Alpha Kappa Kappa; A. B. Columbia College, Fla. ; Interne Virginia Hospital, 1918- ' 20; William and Mary Club. This long, lean, lanky, cadaverous look- ing individual is known by the namie of Hungry . His favorite occupation is riding the ambulance at two A. M., while his favorite pastime is wearing out the furniture at the Memorial Nurse ' s Home. It is no wonder that Hungry stays on the job because Father Hoover attends to that, but in spite of that he is frequently seen with numerous members of the fairer sex. There is a certain man at the Memo- rial Hospital whose look can make Hungry drop his head like a yellow dog tucks his tail. Notwithstanding all this, the Board of Visitors of Virginia Hospital must consider him a very cap- able man to have kept him as interne for two years, and we agree with them. 26

WILLIAM T. GREEN, JR. Norfolk, Va. Billy Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Rho Sigma, Chi Beta Phi, Randolph Macon College, 1916, Secretary- Treasurer Junior Class 1918- ' 19. Interne Soldiers Home Hospital, 1919- ' 20. The gentleman with the Turkish Towel shirts. He is also a man of mystery. We have tried to keep up with him, but alas, what a miserable failure, and with overwhelming chagrin we admit it. We admit, ' tis a grievous fault to keep thine own counsel, and this gentle- man is an adjudged adept. Billy is a methodist preacher ' s son, but he failed to follow the code of antics laid down for preacher ' s sons. Speaking of a man, he embodies all the virtues. He is the per- sonification of energy, efficiency and straight thinking, a believer in honest deal- ings with his fellow-man, and the posses- sor of a sunny, vnnning disposition. He is bound to succeed as the term failure does not appear in his vocabulary. FRANCIS ERNEST HINCHMAN Richmond, Va. A. B. Rock Hill College, Md. ; Kappa Psi; Knights of Columbus. The greatest objection to Sonny is that he claims Richmond as his home and therefore can get hot biscuits and waffles for breakfast on Sunday morning. Prob- ably if he hadn ' t taken upon himself the gigantic task of becoming a doctor, he would have become a second Henry Ford — for what that guy doesn ' t know about Fords isn ' t worth knowing. He even has one himself and night or day — it matters not — one crank and off goes Lizzie . It was Socrates who said, Know thyself , but it is Sonny who has put a new meaning into these words, and we recog- nize them today as Know the ladies — for they all fall for him sooner or later. Indeed, he may easily be classed as a So- cial Lion. Yes, we like Sonny, and we wish nothing but the best for him as he goes to fill his place in the world. 25

HARRY R. HUSTON Humboldt, Pa. J. CRAIG JONES Wake Forest, N. C. Phi Rho Sigma, Ohio Northern University, 1916; Senior Class President, 1919- ' 20; Interne City Home Hospital, 1919- ' 20. Harry, better known as Sam, tho he has many other cognomens as Country Boy , Coal Miner , Damn Yankee , Dimples , Brown Eyes , etc., claims to be the original Northern Hurricane. Ever since he entered Medical College he has gone at his work with such a vim that he has won the reputation of being one of the most rapid workers in the class. But work is not the only sphere of his activi- ties. Tho a hard-fisted coal miner with a fiery temper, he is a Lion among the Ladies , specializing and speculating in the Widow market, while taking quite a few chances in trained nurse stock. The only reason why he is not more successful is that he insists on wearing trousers like Dr. Drum. Wal ' e Forest College; University of North Caro- lina; Phi Chi; Interne Memorial Hospital, 1918- ' 19. Craig is a typical blond and if anything his disposition is fairer. There are only two married men in the class, and one whom you might call Near married , and It , that ' s Craig. Aside from this, Craig is a hard student, and is a prime favorite among certain members of the faculty and reckoned as an all round good fellow by the other members of the faculty. Craig does not care very much for out- door sports, but at indoor sports he is par excellence . This young man, upon his graduation as a full-fledged M. D., will be well qualified to prescribe for the sick as he served his time as an undergraduate interne, and had as his assistant during the past Flu epidemic one of Richmond ' s best medical men. We predict a brilliant future for him. 27
