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

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

HOWARD W. KLINE Vaucluse, Va. Phi Chi; A. B. Randolph Macon College; Honor ■Council, 1916- ' 17; Masonic Club; Interne Tucker Sanatorium, 1918- 20; Randolph Macon Club. Let us introduce to you our pathologist and specialist in Nervous and Mental diseases. This distinguished looking gen- tleman honored us with his presence only after thoroughly investigating the science of medicine from the laboratory end. He has been accorded the title of Doctor for lo! these many years and, with his big fur collared coat, he certainly looks the part. The nurses at Tuckers swear by him. We envy him his popularity, not only there, but among all his associates. His two chief diversions are going to the Lyric and shaking the pickly fruit off faculty trees, in which latter pastime a certain pencil plays a great part. There is no more consistent worker in our class, nor one whose ability insures him more of success than Kline. He is a clear thinker, thoro in all things, and a true scientist. His Tecord will bear emulating. FRANK McC. LEECH Murat, Va. Licker Omega Upsilon Phi; B. A. Washington and Lee University, 1916; President Sophomore Class, 1917- ' 18; Honor Council, 1918- ' 19; Interne Sheltering Arms Hospital. 1919- ' 20; Appointment to Gouven- eur Hospital, 1921. This is our real Heart Smasher . No fair damsel can resist a look from his be- witching eyes, tho his favorites are • nur- ses and widows, the latter of the Peacock variety particularly. It has been stated that some even call him Darling. Yet he claims to be faithful to a certain fair lady in Lexington and we can vouch for the daily epistle. Murat is his home, yet he insists he is from Lexington. Why, we do not know. A favorite among his fel- lows, often a party to a joke, his good nature never leaves him. He is a con- sistent student, a thoro investigator, with a scientific mind. Dependable in every- thing, consciencious always, there is no one of our number whose success is as assured. 28
