Notes
The Southgate County School website (see References) states that: 'Eileen Flowers (1930-32) lost her life by enemy action on 8th October, 1940. At the same time Eileen's mother also lost her life. Mrs. Flowers was a keen supporter of the Parents and Staff Association activities. It is impossible to praise at all adequately such a character as Eileen's. She was early imbued with the spirit of the Psalmist's injunction "whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might" and consequently whatever she put her hand to was done to the utmost of her ability—which ability was of the first order. Whether, as student, as prefect, as a principal of the Operatic Society, as captain of the tennis or hockey teams it mattered not, all were done in an exemplary manner. She was the living embodiment of joie-de-vivre and her death, under such tragic circumstances, was a great grief to us all. A just and beautiful tribute was contributed to the local press.
In 1942 the "EILEEN FLOWERS" Cup was generously presented by a number of Old Girls in memory of Eileen Flowers, who was killed in an air raid, to be awarded to the winners of the Senior House Tennis Competition.'
