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

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

ZACK P. MITCHELL Windsor, N. C. CARLTON MOORMAN Moneta, Va. Chi Zeta Chi; Wake Forest College; Interne Virginia Hospital, 1919- ' 20. Z. P. is a product of the Old North State. Being an elongated, anemic with a drawling speech, he is a typical Down Homer. In spite of the fact that he is most studious and industrious, he manages to squeeze out a few hours with the fair sex, and is often seen mending his way down the avenues of the city with some young lady swinging to his manly arm. His specialty seems to be riding the am- bulance on three a. m. calls, when he arises slowly from his downy couch, answers the telephone, and murmurs, Darn Old Man Taylor (this being the night operator). He is a great lover of ice cream and has been known to visit the factory to con- sume the required quantity. Z. P. is a hale, hearty, well met chap, always ready to do his share of the work and fully enjoying a joke, even if at his own ex- pense. Here ' s wishing him a great success. Phi Chi; A, B. Randolph Macon College, 1914; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, 1918- ' 19; Randolph Macon Club : Masonic Club. There is one mystery about Turkey that we would like to solve and that is, why does he go to Pamplin every month or so to see Pat Maloney when Pat is in Richmond and even his room-mate? We admit that Turkey does not allow everyone to put anything over on him, but that nurse did who found him taking a history and making a physical examination on a man who had died while he was examining him and did not know it until the nurse told him. The greatest surprise of all is the way Turkey has turned out to be the He Vamp of Vamps, and by a motion of his bushy brows can open up even the coldest hearts. Anyone in the Dispensary can vouch for that. Notwith- standing all this, we can all recommend him as a careful, conscientious doctor. 30
