THE STESPEAN 15 miiiraiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim™ c LI I. T Y DEAN CARL E. VOGAL Bible He says he is only Acting-Dean, but he is our Friend, our yell leader, our Revivalist; yes, he does more than sit in an office and listen to accounts of rampant plagues and grandmothers ' funerals from students who fail to meet appointments. Bring your troubles to me, he say ' s, and those of us who do so never leave his office without the help we need in generous amount His great heartedness and his inspiring interest in all our college activities have made him the most popular Dean Union has ever had. MISS ABIGAIL E. WEEKS Head of the Department of English If you get into her classes you will have to work, and yet, strange and almost un- believable it is, her students like to work under her, for she is one of the energetic kind that keeps the wheels moving. She started the Orange and Black, established and still sponsors this Stespean. The city of Barbourville came in for a share in her enterprises; under her direction the His- tory of Barbourville was written by the class of ' 26. She encoui ' ages picnics, hikes, and socials in which she joins with as much ardor as any of us. PROFESSOR I. B. PEAVY Head of Normal Dept. Despite all the arguments of the faculty to the contrary, Professor Peavy still per- sists in declaring that tobacco is a good thing. Professor Peavy is a friend to every- one, except owners of favorite dogs and cats, to whom he and his bloodthirsty crew of students bring swift and silent death.

14 THESTESPEAN lllllnlllllltllll«llllllllllimilllllllllllllllll»llltllllllllllllllll!Nllllllllllllllllllllll!llll!! PRESIDENT E. T. FRANKLIN Philosophy ( )ur President believes in athletics and even goes in for sport himself, lie is captain of the Faculty basket ball team that won every game it played this year! The jest growed theory dues not apply to Union College since President Frank- lin took charge ten years ago. When he came, a new era began for the College, an era of progress and improvement. He has striven for a bigger and better school and has achieved a most notable success. Since 1920, Union has had the largest per- centage of increase in student body of any Meth- odist college in th e world, and President Franklin deserves the credit for this stupendous fact. 1 n™» minium iiiiiniiifiiiiiwiiiini i iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii .n mini i i i,i. „ iiiiiiiiiiiinwii

FUNK Mathematics and Athletics At the head of Athletics stands Coach Funk, the friend, guardian, and advisor of all athletes. The addition of our Coach and Mathematics teacher to the faculty has enabled the College to Increase its progress in raising the standard of morals and good sportsmanship. It is true that the girls re not so fond of him, but he certainly is a favorite of all the boys. By his peppy and scientific coaching we are expecting Union ' s teams in the coming year to be the most skillful of all South Eastern Ken- tucky.

He wants facts and plenty. Professor Hayes has the duty of keeping Stevenson Hall together. Verily great thanks are due Professor Hayes for keep- ing the College safe. ■ : ! . i . i , ; i : : ■ illinium : ,;; v -i: ' :iii!i:i ' ■ ' I ' ll ' - ' :: l! !in! -
