Day in and day out, month in and month out, you work, never complaining about your lot, seldom receiving the credit you deserve. You, our teachers, deserve an orchid for your patience. The work you do tries patience. Those who sometimes criticize you, how long would they have the patience to do your work? You, our teachers, deserve an orchid for your vision. It's sometimes easy, unless you have vision to wonder whether teaching is after all worth while. The work is hard, rewards small. But you see more than a roomful of small faces when you teach: you see tomorrow's generation. You, our teachers, deserve an orchid for your fortitude. It takes courage to be a good teacher--courage to withstand the criticism, the trials the changing world. Finally you, our teachers deserve an orchid for your contribution to civilization. Often you aren't appreciated. Often the results of your work are not apparent. But, somewhere, someday, we your former pupils, will be doing a little better work, living a little better life, because of what you and your personality meant to us. And for that, of course, you deserve your biggest orchid! YOU SLRVE.
