Out Takoma Park way every
body knows Miss O'Hara. Ask any
one:
She's my boys principal" says
one parent.
she used to be my teacher" :"
says another.
"She taught my mother, she
taught me, and now my daughter
goes to her school," says a third.
Admittedly, the parent who
could say the last Is rare, but so
are women who have taught for
half century at the same school.
Such a one is Miss Elizabeth
O'Hara. She came to the Takoma
School at the dawn of the new
century, and on June 80 she will
retire from there as principal.
In all those years, Miss O'Hara
has seen thousands of young faces
in her classrooms and has learned
thousands of names. She hasn't
forgotten them, either.
Farewell Once More.
Last night, at reception in her
honor at the school, Piney Branch
road and Dahlia street NV, sew
eral hundred of them returned to
bid farewell once more.
Her eyes glistening, the little
old lady with mahogany-toned
hair, greeted each in turn. Some
were just friends, some mere par
ents. She reserved that sudden
smile and little gush of delight for
her pupils of long ago.
"Oh, you're Tommy Marshall" ,"
she'd say, and they'd talk for a
moment or two of the days when
Miss O'Hara was known as the
strictest and bestowed teacher in
the whole school. Or:
Miss O'Hara, you look the same
as you did when I was in the
sixth grade" This from middle
aged woman.
Then there were the clipped,
businesSlike:
Homer Smith, Miss O'Hara,
49,"
Thomas Jackson. Miss O'Hara,
also of the class of '23."
