► Miss Lottie Gaffy, who retired
at the end of the Skagway school
term this year after 25 years of
teaching, was honored at an un
usual anniversary program. Miss
Gaffy, fifth and sixth grade
teacher there, had spent all but
two of her 25 years of teaching
at Skagway.
Students from her entire span
of teaching years participated in
the program which honored Miss
Gaffy. The unsuspecting teacher,
seated in the audience to par
ticipate in an “informal get-to
gether” for some of Skagway’s
teachers who are leaving this
year, was introduced on the stage
in a skit prepared by six of her
first pupils.
After the six had persuaded
“teacher” to take a hand in set
tling an unruly classroom, three
of the feminine students danced
a cobbler’s dance taught to them
by Miss Gaffy many years be
fore. As they returned to their
seats, their three young daugh
ters, pupils of Miss Gaffy in re
cent years, danced to the stage
to perform a modern number.
The program closed with a duet,
sung by a mother from Miss Gaf
fy’s original class and her daugh
ter, a pupil of this year.
The teacher was presented with
many beautiful gifts by her for
mer pupils, her co-workers on
the faculty, and the Skagway
P-TA. Miss Gaffy will continue
to make her home in Skagway,
where her beautiful flowers have
come to be known to every tour
ist visiting that city.
