Wagirig war against boredom is in order for the faculty, as well as for the students of Union, judging by the varied hobbies and recreations in which they participate. Gardening is a favorite with collecting antiques and traveling running close seconds. Especially interested in gardening are Geraldine F. Masters, Marie C. Neuman, Clga Perschbacher, Floyd Early, Edith Van Wicklin, and Keith Kennedy. A desire strange places for to see keeps many of our teachers traveling during their vacations, among these being Ethel E. Scholes, Florence Par' sell, Lucille Dunn, Emma ZurMeuhlen, Grace Thomasma, Esther E. Eby, Lucille E. Meyering, and Elmer C. Liskey. Collecting antiques, books, and other articles keeps Margaret E. MacDonald, Marie J. McDerf mott, Esther Vander Broek, Charlotte M. Ran' dall, Anita Holland, and Leonard J. Meyering busy after school hours. Unusual hobbies are those of Lemuel G. Hold' brook, who maintains a peppermint farm, Edward T. Henry, who finds woodworking interesting, and H. M. Dexter, who is interested in working with metals. Merle H. Howe has made a hobby of shooting. Church work occupies the spare time of both Cren D. Stiehl and Dee A. Reynders, while Nelle Atwood, Theodore F. Fryfogle, Doris Dunham, and W. R. Pease are among those who find recreaf tion in various sports. Serving on various civic and professional comf mittees during the past year has kept many of our faculty busy. Berton I.
