in memorlam Mrs. Anna Flint for more than twenty-five years encouraged, inspired, and loved sixth graders in the Ardsley School, and all who passed through her grade felt the great strength of character and kindness of heart that was hers. For many years she served as adviser to the Honor Society, and here too she exerted a strong influence on the students who served with her. Nobility ls Responsibility, the Third Degree motto, was personified by Mrs. Flint. Her com- plete fairness, her kind personality, and her keen sense of humor were but a few of the many fine qualities that endeared her to us. It was always a pleasure to hear a speech by Mrs. Flint, for she spoke from the heart with a sincerity that uplifted all who heard. Mrs. Flint set her own standards high and expected the same of her pupils. She never com- promised with what she considered right, and she never spared her strength to serve devotedly the work she. loved. Many a child has hitched his wagon to a star in Mrs. Flint's Sixth Grade and gone on to reach his goal. We shall all miss her, but her spirit will live on to inspire us to better deeds and higher ideals.

the theme You have opened the ARDSLEYAN, model 1953! Please step in and take a swift ride through Ardsley High. You will take part in a winning race. Your driver will be a kind and resourceful spirit, and his name, Ardy, stands for Ardsley High. Throughout the ride you will pass grandstands of iudges, promoters, and coaches who have staged the race. Take time to look for your old and new friends of all ages among the group you will pass in the grandstands. They have sup- ported Ardy throughout the entire year and will cheer when you speed with him over the finish line to win the Grand Prize, your enioyment and happiness! We, as the Board of Editors of the 1953 ARDSLEYAN, decided to choose the theme of the Race through our school years. As the vehicle for our efforts we designed a car driven by the friendly, cheerful, eager spirit which prevails among all who are part of our school. The entire high school participated in choosing a symbol which could combine all these precious qualities, and a vote among the pupils gave this spirit the appearance of a panda called Ardy. The faculty and all the students helped us to realize our dream of a good yearbook, and we are grateful to them. We enjoyed working together on a proiect which involved wider re- sponsibilities than we ever had before. We con- sidered this work an honor and a privilege.
