From the service clubs of RMHS, wishes for every Merry Christmas to all! Before coming to Rocky Mount, Miss Kate Parks Kitchin ! lived in Scotland Neck. When she began teaching in Rocky Mount High School, the gui dance program was young and had fewer dutes and responsi- ; bilities. She began as an English ' teacher and gradually worked : into the guidance program. To- ; day she is head of the guidance program and teaches one ad vanced class of senior English. Miss Kitchin attributes her en joyment of counseling to her deep love for young people. Miss Kitchin’s mother be- ' lioved that traveling broadens one in many ways and this be lief was transmitted to Miss Kitchen. She has visited every state in the union except North and South Dakota. She and Miss Annie Gaynor have traveled to Canada and Mexico and every summer for the past few years they have spent a few days in New York touring various ex hibits and art museums. Miss Kitchin is a person of varied talents and interests. Her main enjoyment stems from the field of music, especially classical music. Although she dislikes T. V., she enjoys watch ing and listening to symphonies presented on T. V. by such men as Leonard Bernstein. Miss Kitchin’s home is filled with Christmas music from Novem ber to January. Through the years Miss Kitch in has collected a number of recipes, all of which she pilans to try one day. Experimenting with these recipes and taking a trip in October remain as her two “long-range” wishes. Although Miss Kitchin does not consider herself to be a talented artist, she has a great interest in this field. As in mu sic, her preference is classical, and she admits that she rarely understands modem art. Other minor interests include gardening and flower arranging, reading poetry, and writing, Several of Miss Kitchin’s works have been published. She be* lieves that her love of beautiful things, music, art, flowers and litL'iature, was transmitted to her from her mother. The art of teaching is a very difficult one and Miss Kitchin strives to be an individual who shares her experiences and knowledge with her students in stead of simply stuffing them with book facts. Student Organization work provides Miss Kitchin with the opportunity to observe and work w.th young people of other towns and other schools. After attend ing many convenitiona, where she is always an active parti cipant, Mis5 Kitchin firmly be lieves that the young people of liocky Mount are the best young people anywhere.
