Realization Seest thou thyself as an Island, Simple Man An unmatched high place, far above the surging Sea? Isolated, alone, greater, mightier Than all the roaring Tides, all the noisy Sea? I am Myselff, thou sayest, Detached from all the Rest. The Sea is alien to meg I am free of it. I stand far above the endless wash. 0, Foolish Man, thou art as alone as a leaf among leaves, A grain among grains, a part of humanity. And when the Cold Wind blows a single leaf o'er the side, View it not with detachment, for the selfsame Wind Blows chill for Thee. Richard Dreyfuss

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
