R. DONALD HALL We, the Senior Class of 1950, proudly dedicate this U to R. Donald Hall who has been the Senior Class advisor for the last four years. For most of his life he has been active in this community. Mr. Hall has taught in Smith Township and Union High for thirteen years. During his years at Union he has taught problems of democracy. Because of his interest in sports, Mr. Hall has been successful in managing the baseball team into sectional honors. Since he has been a very capable Freshman football coach, this year he was promoted to assistant football coach. Also we can't overlook his work with the playground during the summer. His friendly disposition and gentlemanly manner have won the admiration of all alumni, faculty, and students. 5

 }or(twor I In this 1950 U, we have tried to present the idea of looking into the future and progressing in this scientific world. Our title pages which divide the book into four parts depict our relation to the future world. The pictures of each class officer symbolize a different branch of science or applied science. The juniors are performing experiments in chemistry, the sophomores are looking through a microscope in biology, the freshmen are learning new skills in the shop, and the eighth-graders are trying new recipes in the home economics house. In order that we might fulfill our scientific theme, we hove arranged the U-StafF as a diagram of the sulphur atom. The editorial staff repre- senting protons is found in the center of the atom. The advisors and the business staff representing electrons are found on the outer rings. Although the future is unknown, our graduates must learn to com- bat all problems that may come before them. Since the beginning of this century, the United States has been living in a scientific age. With the production of the hydrogen bomb which is to cost about 6 million dollars, there is no doubt that the last part of this century will be mainly scientific, too. But, unless we as the nations of the world, turn our hearts to God and co-operate with each other to put these scientific inventions and ideas to some practical or useful purposes instead of destruction, our world may become one in which fear instead of love dominates all minds. As we go sailing into the future, we hope that this 1950 U will refresh your memories of Union High and bring you many pleasures and joys. dontenU ADMINISTRATION 6 CLASSES „ . , 16 CLUBS , . ... 40 ATHLETICS . „ „ . 62 ADVERTISEMENTS 78
