Administrators: The Men Upstairs. by Iody Cottrell Donald Moody, the man responsible for the func- tioning and well-being of Hempstead High School, has been at Hempstead for the past 12 years. What Mr. Moody likes most about working at Hempstead is that, Hemp- stead is a terrific place to work, and a great opportun- ity to work with students. One of the things Moody wanted to accomplish was to get back to what was known as typical school day . Moody feels this has been fairly successful. Moody feels being prin- cipal is a very satisfying job. He enjoys being able to see high quality programs, both curricular and extra- curricular, give students a background for their future. William Peck, the as- sociate principal has been at Hempstead since the 70-71 school year. His du- ties are to see that day to day operations are running smoothly.

Photo Photo by Karl Anderson. by Karl Anderson. Derouin A Dedicated Director by Robin Trowbridge Babe Derouin said, My interest in athletics first stemmed from my dad. We would play catch when I was in the third and fourth grade. We lived across the street from the school grounds and I would watch the seventh and eighth grade teams and wanted to play. From grade school it was on to high school and then to college. Since these were my interests, games and athletics, I continued as a coach and referee and then became an athletic director. This interest I have in competition has covered a span of fifty years. The position of activity director demands a great deal of attention to details in the operation of an athletic program and in its games and meets. Some of these details include notify- ing the main office, cus- 31 Donald Moody is busy c business for the day. Photo by todians, and the public the activities. Addition duties include schedulin busing, notifying school coaches, workforce, cheer leaders, referees, and al making sure they know any changes are beir made. Working with stude: athletes, coaches, and oth. athletic directors who funi tion within the framewoi of sportsmanship, with rule and regulations, with tl values of teamwork an discipline, and workin with the meaning of sharir and understanding haw been the most enjoyable, Derouin said. Some of the more dis greeable parts of the athle tic world would have to li the unforeseen emerger cies, not recommendin certain individuals, the car cellations, and the cheduling, said Derouin.
