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.

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.

NANNIE TAYLOR Miss Taylor is one of the most useful people on the campus. She efficiently man- ages the business in the office and teaches typewriting. She thinks a great deal of the College and expects to graduate from Union. Her favorite pastime is enrolling students and send- ing out statements. iMRS. BUCK Mrs. Buck is assistant piano instructor under Miss Carter. She has not been with us long. She has a wonderful talent which has been developed by years of e.vperience. She is loved by all her students who know her best, and respected by the school at large. Those who know her, admire her enduring patience and delightful nature. MRS. WALLACE Although most of us ha ' e seen little of her, yet three times a day for the last four years, we have been aware that Aunt Mae was on the job. She drew all of us to her first because, the most direct route to the heart is through the stomach; and second because of her lovable ways. She was the good friend of every student on the campus. GUS HOUSER Mr. Houser is our handy man. He can make anything from a kiddie car to an automatic filter system. He opens the valves and turns the wheels and we are warmed. He connects the wires and pushes the buttons and light shines out through our darkness. He applies the wrenches and water gushes through the pipes. He is never quite so happy as when he takes his family out for a ride in his Chandler Si. .
