WE PREVIEW THE NEW COLOSSAL PRODUCTION TURN this page and before your eyes the yearbook unrolls reel by reel. We have attempted to depict them all—administra- tion, faculty, and students—in the light of Hollywood. One year in the life of students and faculty on the sets is the production “Hempstead High School.” It represents the complete devotion to their respective jobs, and the coordinated efforts, of a splendid group of administrators, a staff of loyal teachers, and a cast of nearly twenty-seven hundred students. As a document of our times and manners it is a contribution of more than passing significance. What makes this a really important film is that every second of it is real. The “Colonial” staff now releases to the public the new print of Hempstead High School.” And no star holding his Oscar feels prouder than we expect to feel that spring day when the students are viewing the first personal appearance of “The 1041 Colonial.” Regard it as your choicest treasure!
