Photographs — faculty and staff, identified

This series consists of the original photographs included in the 1946 Bible Training School yearbook, The Vindagua. The series is housed in five folders containing pictures of buildings on the Sevierville campus, faculty and staff, and B.T.S. students.

The photographs of faculty and staff and students are divided into two different categories – identified and unidentified. Those in the “identified” category have names written by an unknown source on the back of each picture. Those in the “unidentified” category do not have writing on the back, although the 1946 Vindagua itself provides context for the scenes and, in some cases, the identity of many of these subjects.

The shots of the faculty and staff members depict them in formal classroom settings as well as in casual, outdoor poses. Some of the faculty and staff members included are President Simmons, Nora Chambers, Avis Swiger, Dora Myers, and Wayne Macafee.

The pictures of the students depict a wide variety of activities from Christmas parties to baseball games, and formal yearbook headshots. Some of the students identified in the collection include Cecil Knight, Charles Nutter, Bob Humbertson, Geneva Denson, Horace McCracken, and Ray Mauldin.
