The Stespean, Nineteen Twenty-Seven Mayme Hensley Besides being Secretary of her class, Mayme is also president of the Dramatic Club, vice- president of the French Club, vice-president of the Educational Association and a mem- ber of the Glee Club. What more could be said? Mayme has indicated that the teach- ing profession will claim her after gradua- tion, and with her genial personality, her keen sense of humor and her steady sincerity, she is assured of success in that field. And could one find a more popular girl in Speed Hall? Ask Jeanna and Susie! Taylor Jarvls Taylor is one of the four Jarvis Brothers who are graduating from Union this June; two from the Academy, and two from the college. He is a serious-minded young man; we think his devotion to his beloved Math has made him so, but he claims it is his travails as a student teacher. That Taylor does have his humorous side was evidenced when he very skillfully took the part of the stuttering tailor in the Taming of the Shrew. He also lends a voice in the Glee Club and the Chorus. Irexe Byrd Dyer This little lady hails from Arkansas, where she was a student at the State University for three years — that is, until Prof. Dyer persuad- ed her to take the degree of M.R.S. So thanks to his persuasive powers, we have her as one of our Seniors. Mrs. Dyer is very much alive and is an interested worker in many of the student activities — besides keep- ing house and managing a husband! The Dramatic Club also claims some of her time.

Thomas Higxite Thomas ' s debut at Union was made at the tender age of six when he marched up to one of the teachers, a large notebook held firmly under his arm, and announced that he wanted to take Execution. This quality of deter- mination so evident in his red hair and shrewd grey eyes, he has evinced all through his school career. The attractions of being a traveling salesman lured h ' m away from college for two years, but he decided that a degree was essential to his ambitions, and so returned to finish with us. Dorothy MacPhail Wit, pep and audacity she possesses mani- fold. Owing to her feminine habit of chang- ing her mind, her collegiate career has been a checkered one, but after trying out Georgia and Georgetown, she decided for old Union. Dot was an active member of the famous Scribbler ' s Club, editor of last year ' s Stespean and a reporter on The Mountain Advocate. A journalistic career for her. William Messer Bill, our best-looking Senior, has the dis- tinction of being football captain, and the most popular man on the campus. Bill also plays basketball and is on the tennis team. He is a good student, a member of the Dramatic and French Clubs, and an optimist; his cheer- ful slant on life is very refreshing. Union will miss his twinkling blue eyes and blonde curls next year, won ' t she, Eula Mae?
