Faculty Loyd E. Rackley U.S., A.M. Education According to the students my philosophy of life is set forth in the following statements: Generalizations are dangerous, therefore, think in specific terms — For instance. My word of advice to all students is, Don ' t let the good cheat you out of the best. (A loud Amen.) J. W. Denny Music In college I trod the paths of my choice, Delved into Latin, Piano and Voice. And now an instructor — helping the talent- ed to achieve the goal of their ambitions, and students in general to appreciate all things musical. John B. Wolfe a.b. Mathematics Evelyn Black Expression and Dramatics Speech is our noble means of communica- tion. Expressive speech is the root of our personalities. Seek the part in life to which your personality is best fitted, and portray it to the best of your ability.

Faculty Rev. O. W. Robinson Academy Bible I lang hae thought my youthfu ' friends, a something to have sent you; thought it should serve nae ither end than just a kind memento. But how- the subject theme may gang, let time and chance determine. Per- haps it may turn out a song. Perhaps, turn out a sermon. Warren C. Smith Assistant Treasurer Starting in West Virginia, and sojourning awhile in Ohio and Illinois, the above speci- men had to come down among the other hill billies to gain his first real distinction on Hal- lowe-en as the homely but efficient vamp of the Prince of Wales. Corroborating witness, Joe Meyers. Mrs. Mae Wallace Aunt Mae After ten years of feeding the hungry crowd at Union, I haven ' t killed anyone, but my cooking has caused a thousand cases of ter- rible indigestion. Students have eaten whole wheat biscuits until their jaws have swollen to mighty proportions and the doctor has pro- nounced it mumps! Carrie Bennett Cecil Secretary to Mr. Bennett; office boy and errand boy of the Endowment Office. I am not as serious as you might think, judging from the above. I really do smile occasion- ally, and in addition to the light work of the office, assist in being generally useless around U. C. campus. Earnest A. Bender c.e. Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Mr. Bender keeps our campus looking beau- tiful ; you may find him working at this task early and late. However he finds time for occasional picnics and sees that his Dodge gets all necessary exercise. Alvis S. Bennett Financial Agent, Union College Endowment My position is most cheerful in your midst. I am not clothed with cold authority, but pursue the noiseless tenor of my way as one of your big family. Tom Patton Mr. Bender ' s Faithful Assistant
