Page 26 Our Faculty Ever guiding youth to safety In the Viking ship of Bloom, ' With a strong hand pushing onward Through every mist and gloomg Striving all their crew to strengthen, For whatever dangers loom, Staunch, they keep a faith unbroken, Our faculty of Bloom. When every student, his own brig Through the sea of Time will steerg When Old Bloom is anchored fast A new ship in its place-how dear - Will seem each lesson learned from them To put to use on rudder gear, Of the vessel shaped and moulded By the faculty of Bloom. Though names of warriors history make, And statesmen's names the sameg Though beautiful temples are built in a day, To which only artists may attain. Though paintings rare and literature fine Grace the annals of all time, 'Tis really the teacher steadfast and true Who builds this world sublime. -Juanita Gansen
