HATS OFF TO MISS KIDD Students of O. D. I-I. S, I have somethin.g to say to you! You may think that the greatest thing ever to hit our school was either the sumrner Vacation or the Sadie Hawkins, but you're wrong. The best thing that ever happened to our school now resides in room Z2 and is embodied in Miss Kidd. Perhaps it takes a mellowed grade thirteen student who looks over half a decade to sort out her thoughts in an unbiased way to set down facts which all point to this conclusion. If this is the case, then I am. qwialiffiedg so do let me continue. Twenty-five years ago, a smaller version. of the Orange- vill student body was first introduced to Miss Marjorie Kidd. Since then, like Phedyls orchid she has become one of our proud legends. MissKidd teacher, actress, librarian, adviser, cheerer-upper , scolder, chauf- feur, mother hen, friend and so many other things - has come to mean a lot to ma.ny of us. I am, one of the fortunateg I have known her as all of these.. I have heard her voice, ragged with emotion, speak King Learls final. wordsjg I have heard her voice intentionally sturnble over Big Words. Miss Kidd has been not only my teacher but also my friend. Last year when I was in the hospital for nine weeks, she came to my room in the evening to teach me each dayls lesson and to visit. And those of you who have been among the group of oratorical finalists will certainly understand the mother hen side of Miss Kidd--the suggestions kindly given before each competition and the shining face and words of praise following. It didnlt matter whether we wong she was proud of each one of us and as warmly admitted that we were her kids as we possessively informed any- one who cared to listen that this was our teacher ! Written words fail to express the love and appreciation that we, the students, feel for the head of our English Department. The old clichiees are so trite and yet there is no other way in which to say it. Maybe Miss Kidd has read this srnall poem beforeg she already lives it. True worth is in being, n.ot seemingg In doing each day that goes by Some little good, not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. What more can I say? Just, Miss Kidd, you're pretty special to all of us and we, students and staff alike, say: Thanks an awful lot for being you.
