What's this, a church?
Not a church! It's Flushing High School in 1946, looking much the same as it does now, gargoyles and all.in
The exterior of the school auditorium, where the graduation ceremony was held. The Principal at the time was James V. Walsh.
Warren with (center) Ada Schiffer and (far right) Lucille Schill. Lucille later went to Smith College, MA.
Warren with Myrtle Stewart and Charlie Mayer, who later married her.
It was said that the two became sweethearts while playing the romantic leads in the school's production of "The Pirates of Penzance."
Warren recalls that "When Myrtle and Charlie kissed on the stage, that was one looooong kiss."
With Patricia Hawkins. She wrote a highly aclaimed article, "May I Serve You?" for the school's yearbook, The Gargoyle.
Camera shy.
With Alan Abramowitz and Charlotte Weinberger. Alan and Charlotte were the only Jewish students in the whole graduating class. (And there probably weren't any Black or Asian students at all!)
Alan's ambition at the time was to become a millionaire. Wonder how he turned out.
With Gloria Dahmer. Years later, when Warren was pastor of the Clarkstown Reformed Church of West Nyack, NY . . .
. . . Gloria and her husband Tom Griffin, who was then Chairman of Orange & Rockland, joined the congregation,
Gloria Lopez, who was good friends with Gloria Dahmer.
