Four years ago I came to Cascade a person quite different from the one I am today. And a lot of the change has resulted — either dir- ectly or indirectly — from your in- fluence. I came dedicated, enthused, forthright and sincere in my task of teaching your children. I came to teach, PRIMARILY, by example, something about values, something about why some actions are right, others wrong, and something about how to be a better person . . . and. oh yes, how to laugh at themselves. Concurrently, I came to teach the academics of English. Since that coming in 1963 I spent a great deal of time with your children, tmy students) to which some of you ob- jected. On the whole, I ignored your criticism. The young people com- prise some of the most heartwarm- ing and satisfying memories of four teaching years Who, but kids', would engage a teacher in a friend- ly snowball fight, work on a float until 2:00 a m., or write the teach- ers initial on her desk with twelve rotten apples? Who. besides kids, would present a grumpy teacher a plaque, or an autographed sweat shirt, or who, besides kids, would dream up a surprise party and come with cake, ice cream and pop?? Yes, these are my kids, and they taught me a great deal about val- ues, about how to laugh at myself and about setting good examples. Parents and adults, these are the very same k'ds s.mo of you accuse and pass off as “Delinquents’ and ‘teenagers’. I’m sorry you feel as you do about my kind of people. I can’t agree with you who condemn young people, maybe it's because I've spent more time with them,— time I wouldn't trade for anything. Now I’m on a new venture but he friends and memories of Cas ?ade linger and form the founda- tion for new experience. Life and memories are nevei all sweet, but I’ve always been fortunate in hav- ing more pleasant than bitter ex- periences, albeit, perhaps, the bit ter experiences teach the most. A special thanks to you, The Ken Gilbert Family for listening, for ad- vising, and mostly for caring. It's necessary for humankind to have a second family. Also, it’s gratify- ing to know that families such as “lie Bill Perrys are still around. Love, understanding and warmth Constitute the main ingredients. To you, my stu- dents, do as well as you can. and thanks for the privilege of being called “Morgic” as well as “Miss riorgenstern”. Therein lies the es- seneo of teaching. I remain affectionately, Always— T0M0RGIE... WITH LOVE CLASS OF 70 Marcrp MPrtr nst rn
