MABELLE HEGER Miss Mabelle Heger, the head of the music department and voice teacher of Union College, has a most affable and winning personality. She has won «iany friends while in Barbourville. Her pupils testify to her ever- lasting patience which she is compelled to exercise in the choral classes and glee clubs. She holds us spellbound with her beautiful lyric coloratura, so- prano voice. Union College is to be congratulated upon being able to have a teacher of so rare a genius. PROFESSOR HUMFLEET This is the man that made the plan that caught the boy, that missed his time, in the Study Hall. He spends all his leisure hours dc ' ising ways and means of punishing Study Hall offend- ers. His text is Sticlc to your bush and he pract ' ces what he preaches. His tireless energy makes him one of the Ijest Nor- mal teachers in Eastern Ken- tucky and a constant inspiration to his students. MAE CARTER Miss Carter is the baby member of the Faculty, but quite accomplished for such an infant. She can make a piano talk, and sometimes suc- ceeds in getting music out of some of the rest of us. She really is a dear, and is adored by all her students. There are few things she doesn ' t know about music, but she thinks you have to unlock a banjo to play it. PROFESSOR AHLER Professor Ahler lives and dreams in his music. He is a master of every instrument he teaches. He is so anxious to have his students make real progress, that he goes after them when they fail to show up for their- lessons. Quiet methods and unshakable patience bring him success with pupils, band and orchestra. Those of us who work with him have only admiration and respect for Pro- fessor Ahler.

PROFESSOR PEA Y Professor is one of our most famous faculty members. That is, he has two famous third cousins, Abraham Lincoln and Brigham Young. Professor Pea ' ' is jolh ' and good natured and everybody loves him. His favorite occupations are teach- ing methods and bug hunting. ABIGAIL E. WEEKS Oh! she ' s a character and a half; she would have to be to stick by the Senior Class for four years and be loved by e er ' single one of them. When in her presence it just comes natural to do the best there is in one to do. We depend on her for ad ice in everj ' thing we undertake. She dearly loves her violin. She is the faculty advisor of Speed Hall Government. She is continu- ally finding something good in every one. Her favorite pastime is star gazing. PROFESSOR HUGHES Professor Hughes can keep his temper better than anybody else we ever saw. He doesn ' t ever lose it even when he sits on a tack. He is always telling jokes and no one ever saw him cross. He spends all his spare time cleaning up the laboratories and grading papers. LEAH FIELDS There are so many things to say about Miss Fields we don ' t know what to leave un- said. She is an all round good sport, language teacher and athlete. Her main grievances against the world are brainless heads and a scarcity of chalk to throw at them. Her hobbies are diving and cats.

MARY F. JONES Mrs. Jones is at the head of the expression department, and the girls ' gymnastics. Al- though this is her first year with us we ha e learned to love her and to appreciate her smile, which has been more noticeable since Mr. Jones came on the campus. She spends most of her time getting up plays and decorating for them. PROFESSOR BURNETT Commander-in-chief of the Sub- Academic De artment. The chief worry of his life is to keep everybody in his own chapel seat. He has worn the Annual Staff to a frazzle trying to find a joke on him. He never shirks a duty and does every- thing so quietly and efficiently that he commands the respect of every one on the campus. We ' d dearly love to tell a joke on him, but we can ' t. BLANCHE VVHITTINGTON Miss VVhittington has a smile for every one. We don ' t see how she can when she is teaching girls to cook and sew. She has won a place in the heart of every Union College student, by her lectures on social etiquette. Miss Whittington also teaches penmanship, and is a member of the hardest worked committee in school — the social committee. WILLIAM B. TROSPER Our physical director, the first we have ever had. When you hear him give the command, ' Company, attention! ' you know he is there for business. His work as coach has been amply rewarded by the success of our team, especially in the State Tournament. His efforts to make the Saturday nights in the Gym interesting and w ' holesome for the students have made him a popular man in our midst. We can ' t get along without Trap.
