Edelman The Silver-Blue party has been in existence since our second term in Flushing High School. It was formed to succeed the dying Red, White and Blue party and it is still growing. There are about two hundred active students in the party and there are many opportunities for them to participate in the work. There is a skit committee, a poster committee, a publicity com- mittee, a platform committee, and a booster com- mittee, each under the direction of a chairman. Finally, the chairman of the Silver-Blue party co- ordinates all these activities into the large show seen by F.H.S. during rally week. The rallies are presented with a main theme which last term was a quiz program combining What,s My Line?,' and Masquerade Party. Over its relatively short time in existence, eight candidates for the various political ofiices have tri- umphed at the polls. In the Fall of 1954, Bob Cook, one of our outstanding seniors. was elected vice- president. Left to Right: First Row: A. Stern, A. Adler, N. Kidd, J. Kahan, Mr. Goldberg, M. Anderson, J. Arkin, J.

This group, made up of representatives from each senior section, meets, on the average, twice a week to plan senior activities and festivities. With the aid of Mrs. Phalen, topics such as senior dues, the wearing of caps and gowns at graduation, the date and location of the prom, and other interests are discussed. Most of them are then voted upon by the senior sections.

De Fina Green and White is Flushing's oldest political party. With Mr. De Meo, its adviser, it is striving for continued success. Green and White's accom- plishments include the inauguration of music in the lunchrooms and free G.O. buttons. Before rally time, there is much varied activity taking place. After many hours of planning, the skit for the rally is presented. Last term, the theme of the skit was Santa,s Workshop.,, Starring as Santa Claus was Bart Gabrielli, who did a terrific job. Other members of Green and White portrayed dolls and wooden soldiers. Before the day of pre- sentation, props and costumes had to be designed and posters had to be put up on the walls. Candi- dates had to write and memorize their speeches. It takes a lot of interested people and a lot of tenacious work to have a successful rally. Each term the cycle is repeated with numerous new faces added. Last term, the work of Green and White was re- warded when all four of her candidates won posi- tions as G.O. officers. Through working with Green and White, students -acquire a spirit of cooperation by working towards a common goal. This spirit is helpful to all in later life.

Adler Our student government would be unable to exist if it were not for the work carried on by the Board of Elections. This organization, headed this year by Natalie Kahan as chairman and Judy In- gram as secretary. is responsible for the holding of all school elections. These include all elections pertaining to C.0. oflicers and G.O. and Service League representatives. Perhaps the most popular election of this year was the one that determined the Ml: and Miss Rhythm of the Rockin Rollw dance. Of special interest to seniors is the fact that the Board of Elections holds the election of senior oflicers. 14 The Service League, under the direction of Mrs. llickerton. is an organization composed of those students who render voluntary school service and who handle the service record cards. All students in each section elect a representative to the Service League Council. The Service League Council in turn elects the oflicers of the Service League. This year they are: President. Seymour Mauskopf: Vice-presi- dent. Judy lngramg Secretary, Barbara Ply: C.0. Council Representative, Eleanor Anderson: Student Tribunal Representative. Faith Brofman. At Council meetings any important issues concerning the Service League are discussed and voted upon. The Service Leagueis principal function is to handle the service record cards. on which credit for all school service is entered. These cards are dis- tributed once a term to the students for the collec- tion of service credit. Three awards are offered for various amounts of service credit. Each council representative is responsible for the distribution and collection of the service cards in his section. The Service League is thus one of the school's most im- portant organizations.
