It is said that that every good thing has an end. This is sadly true about our most beloved teacher Dorothy Miss and the silent worker at the school gardens Mr.Pariyag Paswan, popularly nicknamed Malidada by the student community.On the 29th of January 2011, the St.Xavier's family bade a tearful adieu to both Dorothy Miss and Malidada who retired from active service on achieving superannuation.
The Biology and Science classrooms in our school will never be the same again in the absence of Dorothy Miss.---- although we are sure the walls, benches and boards would resound with the memories of her vibrant teaching. Even with our Malidada, the Biology Lab and the gardens will forever cherish the sincere devotion and love with which he attended every leaf, flower and plant.He will continue to be an inseparable part of our institution through the blooming flowers
The students and staff offered their farewell gifts to the duo amidst a charged atmosphere. On behalf of the ex students, Mr Suranjan Kar offered them our parting respects.
The day also saw the farewell of the ICSE 2011 batch ----offered by the present students. The Alumni Association presented each out going student a token gift of an etched key ring and a pen set welcoming them into the fabulously beautiful world of the Old Boys!!
I had the fortune of being taught by Dorothy Miss, in Primary section. I vividly recall her caring, yet strict disciplinarian attitude. My best wishes to Dorothy Miss.
ReplyDeleteI also convey my warm wishes to Mali dada in all his future endeavours.

Firstly, let me congratulate you on creating this blog! This will be a meeting point for sharing stories.
ReplyDeleteI do not recall clearly, but I think Dorothy Miss taught me in class 6A in 1986. Sir Lawrence was the class teacher. This was the classroom closest to the Father's office.
I founded My Life Chronicles (www.mylifechronicles.com) last year. We are passionate about preserving memories, including school memories like these. I hope to capture our collective memories of the wonderful teachers and batches before it is late.
