I went back to Whitestone & Flushing for my Flushing H.S. 50th Reunion a few years ago. We had a tour of the great old F.H.S. building (still looks just like it did), complete with gargoyles & hallway murals. It was wonderful to see that historic "castle" still standing, & operating. The auditorium is amazing; beautiful stained glass windows, wooden seats, wood everywhere, arching ceiling, & the magnificent old pipe organ... The stairways are still narrow & some lead up 5 flights to the singular tower room where we used to have our Music classes, Chorus practices. I'm told students in 2001 could see the Twin Towers savaged & brought down to the ground from those same windows. The grounds are still lovely, hilly & grassy. The building is now a National Historic Landmark, so I think it has a reasonable chance of being preserved. Just wonderful memories.
