Flushing High School - Gargoyle Yearbook (Flushing, NY)

Page 11 text:

Deal Bop and Girls lnspired by the tenth anniversary of the lvnited Nations, the editorial staff of the Gargoyle has chosen a serious theme for the June '56 issue-brotherhood and the U.N. Perhaps this choice indicates a new trend in Gargoyle themes. Perhaps seniors are really becoming grave and serious. Certainly the world that confronts graduates today is a graver world than that of half a century ago. Students of today are also more aware of world problems and the relationship of this country to those problems than were students of even a short while back. Though seniors may be grave, they have their lighter moments that make them balanced people. The theme of the Gargoyle may be serious. but it may also have those lighter touches that make a yearbook fun lo read cven a long time after Commencement. Arthur Franzen

Mrs. Ward We would consider our yearbook incomplete without the customary page devoted to Mrs. Edith Ward, our former principal. We were surprised and saddened by her resignation earlier this year, and would like to express our thanks to her for her guidance during most of our stay at Flushing. It is rare indeed, when a principal is noted for working well with both pupils and teachers. Yet, Mrs. Ward certainly enjoyed this reputation. She was respected and loved by students and teachers alike. We witnessed a convincing demonstration of her administrative ability during the construction of the new wing: she minimized con- fusion and kept the school schedule running smoothly. Her unfailing good humor and boundless energy helped her solve the many problems that confronted her during the fourteen years she was principal of Flushing. However, we will always remember Mrs. Ward for her personal interest in each one of us. We felt that she gave each of us her individual attention, and that our welfare was important to her and to the school. Now, as we graduate, we would like to show our appreciation to her and wish for her continued happiness. 6
