FACULTY HELPS MOLD LIVES UE STUDENTS Varied Courses Utter Well-Rounded Education The faculty, as administrators of the educational program, have a difficult task. They must plan this program to promote the greatest possible individual growth of the members of the student body. De- sirable skills, interests, and attitudes in both class- room and extracurricular activities must be culti- vated through these faculty members with the cooperation of the students. The way that Bloom students and graduates meet the responsibilities of the world shows the success of their work. Miss Cha at Y I N ti. ' rr' .

I Dr. Harold H. Metcalf Principal Dr. Metcalf came to Bloom as principal last fall from Oak Park, lllinois, where he was Dean of lunior Boys. Already he has endeared himself 'to students and faculty, who respect him for his integrity, sincerity, and high ideals. All have felt the warmth of his friendliness and courtesy. His understanding of the problems of youth and his spirit of cooperative leadership have won the ad- miration of both school and community. These fine qualities of character, added to his outstanding scholarship, as evidenced by his past record, augur Well for the future of Bloom under his wise and kindly guidance. When Dr. Metcalf left Oak Park, a tribute was printed in Oak Leaves, a community publication, and later reprinted in the Chicago Heights Star, in which the P.-T. A. said, in part: No expression of gratitude can ever aspire to reach that of the thousands of boys, our sons, who as high school students, were counseled and guided by you through their formative junior year. We know that you stand high in their est' t' ' ' I ima ion as a man and a friend, for they developed an honest respect for your Judgment both in the classroom and as a dean Any one of them will attest to this fact today, and many who are now parents themselves can see m l l ore c ear y what carsful guidance means to children. lt is this spirit of understanding that rom t p p e many of them to comment that the greatest loss is to the future junior classes who will never know what it is to Work with and under you. Bloom is indeed fortunate to have Dr. Metcalf as its principal. Mr is als lrnprt of B Char come dent job c lads. U l
