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

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

JAMES G. LYERLY Granite Quarry, N. C. Jim- Phi Beta Pi; A. B. Roanoke College, 1915; Pres- ident Y. M. C. A., 1918- ' 19; Editor Skull and Bones, 1918- ' 19; Roanoke College Club; North Car- olina Club; Honor Council, 19I7- ' 18; Interne Grace Hospital, 1918- ' 20. Lyerly is man of few words and much action, altogether quite a unique medical student. Jim has never been known to use the usual slang of medical students even when Dr. Gordon undertook the task of teaching the Junior Class, including Jim- mie, the principles of medicine, and even after Jim had burnt the midnight oil for three months making a complete revision of Osier ' s Medicine. As for women, we must again confess that we are at a loss in regard to Lyerly ' s attitude towards them. However, he makes a semi-annual trip to Salem each year for some unknown reason. Jim has the reputation among his classmates as a good man in every sense of the word. We predict for him an unusually successful life in the long years to come. HOWARD LYSLE MITCHELL Pittsylvania County William and Mary College; Phi Rho Sigma; Scholarship, 1918- ' 20; William and Mary College Club; Interne Grace Hospital, 1919- ' 20. Mich. is a hard person to understand at times. When he is not imagining himself to have some peculiar affliction, he is wrapped up in the affections of some fair one. The fact that his head is getting bald does not seem to worry him. His quiet nature and retiring disposition stand out as an exclamation point in his character. Probably he does not know that the other members of his class know him as a jolly good fellow. What this quiet and interesting senior will do after he gets his diploma no one knows. It is doubtful if he himself knows. At times it seems as if he might travel around the world, at others settle down in some quiet section of Virginia. He will be welcomed by the people wherever he chooses to go. 29
