TOAST TO THE FACULTY 1. Seated one day in my study I was weary and ill at ease And my fingers wandered idly Over the typewriter keys. I was worn with work on the annual And had one more thing to write And this was a poem to the faculty If I had to sit up all night. 3. I knew not what 1 should write them For tny mind was far away, And my thoughts were running wildly From the work that before me lay. I saw the commencement before me And 1 came to myself with a start; Then 1 remembered this is the ending When we from the faculty part. 5. So there passed through my mind the duties Performed by the faculty well Which if I wrote ‘till morning Not half of them all could 1 tell. 6. How often, oh, how often We accepted their work without thank . And instead of appreciation We returned them only fool pranks. 7. Then before we leave for vacation Let’s a measure of gratitude say To the Superintendent and teachers Who have helped thus far on our way. 8. Who have striven and wrought for our welfare Filled the “Lamp of Knowledge’’ full So all together we toast you Best faculty of the best school. CLARA M. BIRKY Bloomington, III. A. B.
