Published by the Jumnn CLASS ut HEMPSIEAD HIGH SGHUUL, HEMPSIEAU, NEW Yank For Loyalty and Service MISS EUNICE BASSEMIR has been a teacher in Hemp- stead High School for twenty years. Although born in Brooklyn, she has lived in or about Hempstead for most of her life. She really belongs in the school, since she is a graduate of the Hempstead school system. During her first year at Hempstead High, Miss Bassemir taught General Biology, but most of the students recognize her as the charming teacher of English. In her course of traveling she has visited and traveled through the British Isles and France, particularly Paris. In our own United States, Miss Bassemir has visited in and around the capital, Washington, D. C. Throughout her years as a faculty member, Miss Bassemir has aided the students as an assistant adviser of the Senior Class, adviser to the Sophomore Lit., and adviser to the Rifle Club. Therefore, for her years of service and loyalty to Hempstead, we dedicate the 1944 yearbook to Miss Eunice Bassemir. I Hlfiffifi A4 14 j .

The acre of ground was set apart in 1702 when Hempstead consisted of only a few buildings, when life was hard but men were sturdy. The weather vane on the church contains sixteen bullet holes made during the revolution. The justices of the village were the vestry men of the parish and they moulded the civic and religious life of the whole community. In this garden sleep the pioneers of yesterday. It is holy ground, let us reverence it and count it a rich heritage. , AT HEMPSTEA IN these present days of war, the entire world has gained hope by looking forward to the brighter scene of a post-war peace. Hempstead, however, has spent the year of 1944 looking backward three hundred years to the found- ing of this town. The Hub of Nassau while celebrating its Tercentennial Anniversary, is fighting one of the many wars in which it has found itself and has survived. These three hundred years are filled with important and exciting events, which have added to the rich heritage of our own locality and even to these United States. Through the medium of still-standing historic landspots and our own imagination, the Colonial this year has endeavored to bring to you, the students, the comparison of the present day world and that old world, which many of our ancestors knew and loved. The present life of 1944 is represented by snapshots and write-ups, while sketches and drawings depict the supposed life of the past three hundred years. In the Features are shown photos of famous buildings. Included among them is St. George's Episcopal Church, in which is displayed a prayer book and chalice from Queen Anne of England. Compared to our days of extra-curricular activities that period of all work and little play seems difficult. The teacher of 1644 was usually a man and ruled his one-room schoolhouse with a hand of iron or rather birch. Classes were mostly of boys and limited in studies, sports and activities, but even at that time their games were at the expense of the teacher. However, there are many similarities between the two widely separated lives, and by stretching the imagination and believing our little sketches you may see them. So we proudly and hopefully present to the readers, two worlds enclosed between the covers of the 1944 Colonial.

In the picture, she seems to comment l'The world is going to be all right. During this most critical period of civilization when the real values of life are in jeopardy, we older ones find much consolation with high school pupils. Whenever a call comes for assistance from any of the many activities for defense, whether it be bond sales, red cross work, air raid protection, or the 'various stenographic aids to the local agen- cies, Certainly is the only answer we ever hear. The young today will inherit the world tomorrow. We do not fear the transition. In our loyalty to Hempstead High School, we want to believe there are no other pupils so fine, but there are. This great country of ours has thousands of such schools made up of young people with high powered latent abilities who are now on the bench but anxious to get into the world gamel' to show what they can do. The little dog seems to have made the correct deduction. The world is going to be all right. W. A. GORE 10 T Dr. Raymond Maure To the Students: OUR high school is preparing you for the war and for the peace which will follow. When peace comes, your direct preparation for the war effort will be over and you will be concerned with the extent and quality of your preparation for the highly competitive labor market of the post-war years. Apply yourself diligently, for there is too little time given to you to meet these two objectives during your high school years. Yet educational goals, no matter how important, will not replace the pleasures and joys that belong to youth. Student activities such as this yearbook must continue. They will be definite evidence that you are developing your personality and are aiding in making your high school years happy. May this balanced program better prepare you for a responsible part in developing the kind of world you want. Your friend and principal, RAYMOND MAURE ll Left to right: William Bed- dow, Hazel M. Foster, E. Carleton Moore. Lefi to rigbl: Ruth Moyse, May Duryea, Louise R. Hues- ton, Eunice Ronnerman. Hub of the School HE friendly atmosphere of Office 5 is made so by Mrs. Foster, Dean of the Girls, Mr. Beddow, Assistant Principal and Mr. E. C. Moore, Administrative Assistant. What do they do in this office? That is an easy question to answer. They take charge of all at- tendance records. It is to Office 3 you go creeping if you have been late and want an admit slip. They also excuse you if you become sick at any time during classes. This office handles all extra-cur- ricular activities, their finances and the point system. Problems concerning schedules, credits, gradua- tion, and college entrance are taken care oftin Office 2. Here Mrs. Hueston, Registrar, Eunice Ronnerman, Ruth Moyse, and May Duryea, assist- ants, are working, conferring with the students and giving them valuable information. It is to this ofhce you go if you wish to drop a subject, add a subject, or change your schedule for any reason. This office also aids students in mak- ing early applications for college entrances. So don't worry about your credits or graduation re- quirements, come in and speak with the Registrar. LL the important business concerning the Board of Education and the Hempstead school system is carried out in Office 1. This office is the abode of Hilda M. Hardy, Supervisor, Margaret Doty and Edith Schwedes, secretaries. Office l has charge of teachers, certincation and retirement records. Payrolls, bonded indebtedness. annual State reports and budget control are han- dled here. They keep all records of non-resident students, the analysis of all school costs, and the exhibit of the Long Island Teachers' Association. Do you intend getting a job for the summer? If you do then go to Office l. Mrs. Hardy will issue your working papers. R. MAURE, Principal, and secretaries, Elinore Weppert and Lorraine Dickson have charge of the office, which is often called Ofiice Zlb. This office is the beginning and end of every event and activity of the school. Office 255 co-ordinates the work of all departments and other olhces. Among the principals varied services is the very impor- tant Guidance Program, in which all the offices participate. All records are filed through the prin- cipal's office. If you ever need a letter of recommendation, go to Dr. Maure, for he is a pal to the students and a builder of morale. Le!! lo right: Edith E. Schwedes. Hilda M. Hardy, Margaret E. Doty.

Teacberf need time out too. Dependable building VVhok VVho On Our Faculty N keeping with our theme of portraying the past, the faculty write up is devoted to past, and in some cases the present, activities of a few of our teachers. Few of you know how long your favorite teachers have been in H.H.S. or even what they do after or before the trying job of regular teaching. This year the members of the faculty have taken on added help classes for senior boys and many have acquired new classes because several male teachers have departed from our happy midst for the services. But now we shall attempt to answer the question of Who's who in the faculty? Mr. Hayes. a member of the math department can be seen in early morning or late afternoon in Room l9, aiding his Intermediate or Advanced Algebra students. Pop is also an assistant to Mr. C zrlodiazzx keep the .fcbool in repair. I Fay in coaching the successful and well-trained football team and until this year acted as an ad- viser to the Pentagon Club. The energetic and conscientious Miss Layton, the popular feminine adviser of the Hall Cops, is also a holder of help classes for Plane or Solid Geometry. Speaking of Geometry teachers, Mr. Holtz, aide to both the Radio and Stamp Clubs, is one of the school's most popular. One of the advisers of the all- important G.O. is Mr. Whitmore, known for his excellent work in handling the sale of Bonds and Stamps. Mr. Whitmcmte also supervises the meet- ings of those math wizards of the Tupiar Club. An adviser of the Senior Class and co-adviser of the dramatic club are some of the activities of Miss Bennett, who has been teaching in H.H.S. for twenty years. Miss Bennett is very active in Red Cross work here at school also. Mr. Beale has ably handled the Blue and White Corner for four years. At present. many calls for able linguists have been sent out by the federal government. A per- son of many languages is a valuable but rare object in this war. However, our language department has certainly trained H.H.S. students well in this field and most pupils are just learning the pleasure and necessity in speaking in a foreign tongue. A teacher in Hempstead High for over twenty-five years and an adviser of the Carpe Diem Sodalitas, since its organization, is Miss McDermott, who teaches Latin two, three, and four years. Miss Un- derwood and Mrs. Rugen, who just recently left our school for a married life, are assistants to Miss McDermott in advising the Latin Club. Miss Underwood, a member of the faculty for eight years, was formerly a grade adviser, and an or- ganizer and adviser of the Riding Club for four years. She aided in preparing for the annual Greek Games every year except in 1936 and at present is a junior Class adviser and supervises the writing of the Colonial. Mrs. Jones, Miss Furgerson, and Miss Zaremba are three teachers of that popular language, Span- ish. Miss Furgerson has taken over as head of El Circulo Castellano in place of the recently de- parted Mrs. jones. The busy new adviser of the Spanish Club also has taken over Mrs. jones' classes, besides continuing her own work as an as- sistant adviser to the Sophomores. Miss Zaremba is entering her third year here at school and as a roller-skating fan, she supervises the girls belong- ing to that sport. Vivacious Mrs. Young, a popularAFrench teacher, has worked with the Rifle Club for two of her nine years at school. Miss Neel, a most competent French teacher, is the sole adviser of Le Cercle Francais. Now we come to good natured Frau Franks who has been a German teacher at Hemp- stead High for nine years, six of which she has spent supervising the meetings of the German Club. Arriving on the heels of the language depart- ment is English, which seems to many of us like a foreign language anyhow. Advisers of the Soph- omore and Junior Literary Clubs are Miss Sproule, who has been in school teaching for six years, and Miss Ford respectively. Miss Huff was formerly the adviser for the junior Literary, but her extra help classes forced her to discontinue this work. Miss Farrior is well known for her excellent work as Freshmen adviser and her help in Greek Games. Miss Joyce, in the school since 1939 is also a Freshman class adviser. Another class adviser, but T rf: .. 4 1. l 2' .es f , . :iff-V' ,Z - , - - -Ffllilzi Fil. '43 QVC , ,isffwgf kg, ,Z JW' ' -'f ll'i',, a- ayfaa gel 599' 3T - fr,:,,i.

Mrs. Davis, who has helped many a senior to pass his English regents, was an adviser to the Colonial for ten years, at which time the quality of our yearbook improved, and the subscriptions steadily increased. Those popular advisers of the Patriot, Miss Cantfil and Mr. Goldy, are responsible for the excellent management of the enlightening paper. Miss Cantfil is also adviser of the Pallas Club. At present Miss Bassemir is adviser of the Rifle Club and coach for girls' after-school hockey. Teaching in Hempstead High since 1958 and working as business adviser for the Colonial are the jobs of Miss Blaisdell. Two others of the English department are Miss Yilek, who has been here for six years and Mrs. Martin, former adviser of the Curtain Call Club. The helpful librarian, Miss Rhodes, has been here since 1930, while Miss Beattie is entering her ninth year and has helped the girls prepare for the annual Greek Games. In the Social Science and History department we find that many faculty members are advisers of some class. Miss Tripp and Mrs. Marshall, both teaching in Hempstead High for six years, help advise the Sophomore and Senior Class respec- tively. Miss Abbott, who used to act as superviser for the History Club is now one of the Senior Class advisers. while Mrs. Greenlund aids the Sophomores. Mrs. Vincent, who has taught here for twenty-one years, and Miss Gunnerson, teach- Senorila Zaremba enjoy: the autumn Jun. Min Boyle directr there eager bandfmen. Fluff arrurer Dr. Gore, The world will be all right. ing for six years, were both advisers of the History Club, and Mr. Rago, a comparative new-comer, is now the head of the junto and Forum Clubs. Lastly Miss M. Rhodes told us that she has been a member of the faculty for thirteen years, 'pre- sided at the original homeroom council, and is now an adviser. Among the popular Science teachers are Messrs. Faust, Lints, Misner, and Eckert. Mr. Faust, who works with those interested in chess, and Mr. Lints act as advisers to the Science Club. Mr. Misner has taken over the job of managing the Pentagon Club and he ably coached tennis last spring. Mr. Eckert, a geology enthusiast, assists in advising the Camera Club. Of course even science has its fem- inine side and Misses Beighley, Stanfield, and Mrs. Daube represent it well. Miss Beighley has enjoyed coaching the girls' basketball and baseball for sev- eral of the eleven years she has been here. Miss Stanlield is now teaching Biology for her second year as adviser of the Pioneers. The next group of teachers, Whom we inter- viewed was in the gym. Now, more than ever be- fore these teachers are playing an important part in the body building program of the day. Our gym teacher Miss MacCullum, came here in 1950 and has, in addition to her regular schedule, helped with the Greek Games and all after-school activ- ities offered to the girls. The other teacher, Mrs. Reicher, arrived six years later, in 1936, and Mr. Voorhies, a former Social Science teacher, took over the job of assisting Mr. Fay in boys' sports, when Mr. Franz left for the Navy. Our very popular dramatic teachers, Miss Ran- dall and Miss Linn advise the Footlight Club. Miss Linn is also aide to the Curtain Call Club. It is their excellent direction and selection of the cast, which makes each of the dramatic productions of the club such a success and of course they produce the annual sensation, the Senior Play. In our travels we now see that we have come to the Commercial department. Heading the group KQQ Let to ri bi mt row D Smith S Dale H Williams. f g , fi 2 . , . , . Second row: J. Straka, H.

Miss Degen- hardt also helped the girls with badminton for a few years. Miss jones acts as adviser for the Com- mercial Club while Miss Silver, who works with the Adviser Aides, coaches the girls' bowling group. Miss Foster has taught students from Hempstead High School for seventeen years. In the past she acted as Colonial business manager, and now does an excellent job of advising both groups of the GO., the Home Room Council and the Student Council. Mr. Turnbull is the business manager of the Patriot, which is awaited by stu- dents and the teachers alike. He may also be seen patrolling the halls during several periods of the day in his job as adviser of the Hall Cops. Now, lastly we Come to the Art and Home Economics. Miss Field, skillful adviser of the Art Club, is also working with the art staff of the Colonial as their adviser. The vivacious home economics teacher, Miss Taft is currently acting as a Junior Class adviser, x, 5 x V+? fl 5 Y u Wifjly 5 .if of Huw! J. W, , H g,.4,M,.M,, ,,,, f,,,,,,, T if 'R A 1.

Those who are left, however, are cer- tainly active and keep things rolling smoothly here at school. On September twentieth at the election of senior class officers, Willard Smith was chosen president, Harry Cuthbert was elected the vice- president, Betty Rocker came out with the secre- tary's books and Kenneth Shelton ended up col- lecting dues. In the middle of February, Harry left to join the Navy and attractive Peggy Maier took over the job of vice-president. Willatrtl Smith is very interested in bacteriology, and plans to attend Cornell University and con- tinue this study. Music and the A Capella Choir have also held Billls attention. Throughout his four C Salute To the Seniors years at Hempstead High, Bill has been a member of each boys' honor club. Harry Cuthbert is interested in the Navy and his goal is to enter Annapolis as a naval cadet. Sailing is his favorite pastime, which he does whenever possible on his summer vacations. Harry is also a home-room representative. Peggy Maier has been elected the vice-president of the junior Class, Assistant Chief of Office 2 Squad, and also was selected as secretary of the Pen and Ink Club. Peggy is very interested in watching sports and may be seen at football, bas- ketball, and baseball games. Betty Rocker, secretary, is well-known in H.H.S. She is a cheer leader, a gym aide, and has earned her Betty hopes to be an athletic instructor. Kenneth Shelton has held the ofhce of president of the Assembly Squad and is a member of the Hall Cop System. Kenny speaks of entering the Army and remaining there after the war is won. This year the Seniors have a new adviser, Miss Barth, and seem very well-pleased about having this popular English teacher as a consultant, Mrs. The following make up the committee, that planned the Christmas setting for the very suc- cessful evening: Rhona Wasserman, Richard Buck, Ray Matuza, Alice Junda, Jackie Shevlin, Fred Roberts, Rae Courts, Isabelle Barr, Phyllis Groep- ler, Marilyn George, Olive Armstrong, Ann Shore, Juel Haas, Elsie Wfeckenman, and Harry Kology. Willard Smith fPreJidentD, Betty Rocker Gecretaryb, Kenneth Shelton 1TrearurerJ, Mar- garet Maier 4 Vice-Preridentj . Marshall, Mr. Lints, and Mrs. Anderson are as- sistant Senior Class advisers. The annual Senior Ball was held on December eighteenth instead of june this year. This was done, so that those boys and girls planning to graduate in three and a half years, would be able to attend the ball. On Saturday night, the big night arrived and the Futurists supplied the music. The ticket committee consisted of Kenneth Shel- ton, Helen Barnaby, Bob Gulde, Betty Rocker. Peggy Carey, Ruth Rickerby, and Bob Fischer. Vivian Ash, Leon Lacey, Harriet Brush, Dorothy Brown, and Betty Kurz drew the posters for the bulletin boards and advertising the Senior ball which was enjoyed very heartily by all who at- tended.

They're easily recognized by the way they seem to glory over the freshmen- they have that I've-had-experience look about them and they haughtily look down their noses at anything less than a junior. They know all the tricks and turns 'cause goodness. havent they been here three -whole years! Their's is the class that pre- sents the Colonial', to the seniors, too. Yes, theyre really OK. and so are their officers. Donald Gulde, the class president, is a bowling and baseball fan. He has aviation in his blood and hopes for a career in that Held. Vice-president Ruth Edwards, this year's Editor-in-Chief of the Colonial, hopes to go to college after graduating. Secretary Oliver Patterson, last year's treasurer, keeps busy with his academic course and plans to become a Naval Aviation Cadet. Chosen class treasurer was Francis Murray, who is keen on football and bowling. Francis hasnlt quite decided on a career as yet. The Junior adviser is Miss Gard- ner, who with her assistants, Miss Underwood and Miss Taft, keeps the group on the right track and gives aid to any junior requiring it.

S. career is the class of 1946, this year's Sophomores. Rich- ard Schweizer made such a good Freshman president his classmates reelected him as their leader again this year. Dick, who is interested in all sports was a member of the Pathfinders last year and now sings in the A Cappella Choir. Dick plans to be a chemical engineer and at- tend M. I. T. Cute Eileen Duffy, president of Pioneers and Freshman charioteer last year, was elected vice-president. Eileen plays the violin in the or- chestra and collects bracelets as a hobby. Treasurer Robert Desch, who is an enthusiastic sportsman and es- pecially interested in track events, wants to be a mechanical engineer and attend Columbia University. Brunette Joan Kaplan, whose hobby is dancing, was chosen the secretary. joan was a member of the Pioneers and Greek Games last year. Besides these popular officers the class is composed of many honor students and talented athletes.

You canlt fool them with ele- vators to the third floor, locker dues, tipping in the cafeteria, and under- ground passageways to the band box. These newcomers have caught on quickly and fitted themselves in- to things easily. just a glance at the ofhcers the Freshman have chosen shows what a line bunch they are. President Thomas Hartnett, al- though not quite decided on a col- lege, plans to study law after grad- uating. Taking over in his absence is Latin-lover Grace Lee, active in sports and keenly interested in in- terior decorating. The minutes are carefully recorded by secretary Rob- ert Chilton. Myra Macy, an ardent science fan, holds the money bag. Not to be outdone by the upper- classmen, the Freshmen have shown their ability in the large number of honor students they have turned out in support of Hempstead's fine record. This class, under the capable guidance of Miss Bonnie Lee Far- rior and her staff of assistants, has certainly caught the school spirit. fb, , L fi R V onnieALee Farrior .' jx , A J' lj' jihijfli 5 f . .1 Y J' K-UW jj My N..

Its mem- bers represent the student body as a whole. This organization holds the purse strings of the school. Their most important job of the budgeting of the money collected from the sale of G.O. tickets was started soon after its establishment many years ago, Wlmen the school found that it needed a school song, it was the Student Council that obtained a national and international copyright for it. ln 1938 a beautiful Hammond organ was purchased by this organization, with the extra money in the budget. A few years ago these heads of the extra curricular activities established and named the lit- tle store by the main stairway, the Blue and White Corner. Roy Palmer is the gavel wielder at all meetings. ln his absence jane Cornwell takes charge. Ruth Rickerby keeps the records of each meeting, Ed- ward Nettleton handled the activity's fund until January, when he left school. From then on Ruth Edwards took over the important position of treasurer. Under the leadership of their competent officers and the council's adviser, Miss Foster, a magazine subscription plan was sponsored in the fall. Many successful war bond drives were conducted this year, as in previous years. Each year drives are held for the U.S.O., the Red Cross, and clothes for the needy.

Voice of the Students VERY other Friday, the eventful day, when the Patriot comes out, one may see the har- ried-looking individuals known as Home Room Representatives, rushing to Room 49 to return their number slips or receive their extra papers. These students are usually envied for the nonchal- ant way they stroll out of their Home Rooms, but they really work in that fifteen minute period. The Home Room Representatives buy the all- important War Bonds and Stamps, for other stu- dents in their Home Rooms at the Stamp Office under the main stairway. They also take charge of purchasing the GO. ticket, which entitles students to see any sports activity practically free, and to receive school publications at reduced rates. Besides buying stamps and handing out the Patriot, these members of the Home Room Coun- cil aid in Red Cross, National War Fund, and March of Dimes, and other drives. During the year the Student Council sponsored a Magazine Subscription Drive, in which the Representatives also helped. They can, because of their close asso- ciation with the student body, inform the Student Council of the pupils' desires. The ambitious members of the Home Room Council are headed by popular Ruth Rickerby. She is assisted by Kenneth Ertel, vice-president, and Mary Belfi, the efficient secretary. Under the leadership of the faculty adviser, Miss Nell Foster. the group has proven itself invaluable to both the student body and the school. M ,nl 7,3 F . ., 11 i,.-A-2 1 Q.

F' ld B a ore a group of conscientious workers from the junior class were rounded up to put out this publication, known to all as the Colonial, for the benefit of the Senior class and for the enjoyment of all. The revising of the book was done by the editor- lvin Feldman held the in-chief, Ruth Edwards. A worthy position of associate editor. Claire Barrell and Ruth Monkemeyer, the assistants to the ed- itors, were known to others as Jack of all Tradesf' All four wrote several articles and two, Ruth Monkerreyer and Alvin, did all the proof-reading for the book. The work of the Senior Write-up Committee came in bunches as Iohn Z' k L in and, chairman and his assistants, Elaine Baker, Dolores Dulfee, and Louise Bolanz found out. Those four class stories and the lar e f l ' g acu ty account were written b Y Priscilla Storms and Margaret Hoefner. Helen Dur- yea was the sole member of the ff sta working on music, dramatics, and art. These committees went beautifully without any trouble, but the group doing the club write-ups almost put the jinx on h t e Colonial. This committee started out with three very busy members and Pat Nero as h ' c air- man. Their work had just been divided and started Left to right: Ruth Edwards, Robert Peter, Anna Fraccal- vieri. when Pat moved to Colorado. Marjorie St. john and Doris Smith were reassigned Paris work with Louise Bolanz and Ruth Monkemeyer assisting them, when Marjorie also left Hempstead to move to New jersey. The short-handed group was later hindered by sickness, but everything was taken care of. Stories on all boys' sports were covered by Walter Freese, Basil Ellwood, and Thomas Malone, with Basil as the supervisor. The girls' sports were taken care of by Uldine Hermanson. Another hard working department was the photography de- partment. With Tom Horn as head caption-taker, Lorraine Rockett, Jane Harder, and Edith New planned the days of pictures and saw that things .

Special tribute should be paid to our hardest working member, Robert Leather. He started out as head of the photography department and ended as a department of the Literary Staff on his own. It is to him we give all our praise for those miraculous dividers and snap- shots throughout the book. The three industrious members of the Secretarial Staff, Ruth Kosby, Virginia Parry, and Camille Radziminski kept the keyboard clicking. With conditions and priorities as they are today, the Art Staff played a major part in the completing of the book. Robert Peter was elected chairman of the diligent stall, with Ruth Boshler, Pauline Finocchio, Donald Hixon, and Marilyn Newmark aiding him. Another difficult task during the War is the soliciting of advertisements, but the war didn't stop Anna Fraccalvieri. She went out and got her ads and the job of Business Manager as a reward. Other members of the Business Staff are june Anderson, Eleanor Bowen, Gloria Beyl, Helen Kargl, Irma Levy, James Lucy and Alfred Lee. Great appreciation and deepest thanks go to Miss Gladys Underwood, adviser of the Literary Staff, Miss Bertha Field, Art adviser, and Miss Hazel Blaisdell, adviser to the Business Staff. Whaf's Behind It All? HEN the Patriot celebrated its silver jubilee back in March 1942, it began what we hope will be another twenty-five years of good report- ing. Curious to see just how our school paper be- gan and in order to find out something of its history, we dug down deep and herewith present to you some facts concerning the past years' pub- lications. ' Dr. Calkins was anxious to present Hempstead High School with an official publication, despite the discouraging fact that the other papers pre- sented to Hempstead High by various English classes had petered out due to insufficient funds. It was decided, therefore, to put the new literary effort in a small form, because its size might then enable it to escape the fate of its predecessors. The first masthead listed four staff members. Dorothy Berg, a senior, was chosen editor-in-chief with three assistant editors, representing each of the lower classes. Miss Burton, the English teacher Cit seems that there was only one in the school at the tirnej was the first adviser. As there were no regular reporters, we hazard a guess that those as- sistant editors had to do their own snooping, writ- ing, proof-reading, and all the other necessary work. In 1929 Miss Burton was joined by Miss Button Qno foolin'!J as literary adviser, and Mr. Long- acre held the newly created position of business adviser. The following year two new advisers, Miss Reisschneider and Miss Rudd, made their appearances with Mr. Ketcham holding the bus- iness reins. Mrs. Miller became the Patriot's guid- ing star in 1926 assisted by Mr. Ketcham. Mr. Goldy, the present adviser, took his post seventeen years ago, in 1927, with Mr. Ketcham aiding him. Since 1927 Mr. Pratt, Mr. Cottrell, Mr. Loeb, and Mr. Turnbull have served as business advisers with Mr. Turnbull as the present financial and circulating guide and Miss Cantfil as literary ad- viser. As we return to the present, we see that no First row: J. Davidoff, A. Rornanchuk, H. Malinski, C. Motta, A, Mogull, W. Otten, J. Mac Cor- mack, I. Friedland, M. Levinson, A. Junda. Second row: D.

The routine is the same and it varies from Wednesday of one week to Wednesday of the next. The editor bears the brunt of the work, be- cause he begins the Tuesday before, recalling past news and looking to the future for more news which is always scarce. The pages seem bare and unable to be filled but something always hap- pens so that assignments are made and the front page is planned. Wednesday the stories begin roll- ing in, and go from editors to typists, back to editors, thence to headline writers, editors again, and finally off to the printers. When the stories are coming in the fastest, the printer sends back the proofs, two for each article. One is proof read, and the other is cut up and placed on a dummy. For you uninitiated folks without printers ink coursing thru your veins, the dummy is composed of articles returned from the printer and pasted together to give the editors and printer an idea of what their brainchild will look like. Each article is placed on the dummy, proofs corrected, and then returned to the printer. If everything goes well, the staff closes up shop at six o'clock and staggers homeward. At this point the circulation staff takes over, and because of them you receive your copy every other Friday during homeroom period. Speaking of circulation, we've been trying to think of a way to tell you that over 1,500 students enjoy the Patriot. This year the Patriot is under the competent leadership of Lucille Moskowitz. Shirley Kramer is the girl of all work, the managing editor, and does a fine job of it. Richard Klein, school editor, scans the proof for errors and rules the reporters with an iron hand. Answering to the title of con- tributing editor is Harold Westman, while Marilyn George is exchange editor. Those very popular columns commonly known as dirt columns are in the hands of Mariella Gardner, Murray Cantor, and Mae Hillert. Alice junda, assisted by the Mogull cousins, keeps us informed upon what goes on in Hempstead Highis world of sports. Business manager, Alice Romanchuck, and her assistants are responsible for the galaxy of ads in every issue, which aid in supporting the Patriot. The last job of all, but by no means the least in I Fin! row: Shirley Kramer, Managing Editor.

They see to it that each and every one of us gets our issue, when that long-awaited day of publication rolls around, and we all dive for the dirt column in order to improve our educa- tion.

Every period of the school day the members of this squad are found carrying out their orders and performing their duties with the greatest efficiency. In the spring of the year the members for the coming year are chosen by the friendly adviser, Mrs. Hueston. The service squad motto, which is scholarship, conduct, and loyalty, holds each girl faithful to her individual duty. In order to remain a member of this squad they must each serve one period of the school day in the office. Two weeks of late duty must also be served at sometime during the year. The duties of this organization vary in difficulty as much as in importance. They range from the simple job of alphabetizing to the more complex one of taking charge of classes when the teachers are unexpectedly called away. The students of Hempstead High School receive all information about the extra-curricular activities of the school and about drives to aid the war effort through the home room notices. These notices, which are sent in by the various clubs, are compiled and distributed to the classrooms by the service squad members. Visitors and bewildered newcomers, who are unfamiliar with the school, are welcomed and assisted by these girls who are willing to do any task which is asked of them. Records of the stu- dents which are used for future references are also filed in this office. All the duties are performed with the intention of assisting the principal and the registrar. The girls do errands for Mrs. Hues- ton and her assistants, Eunice Ronnerman, May Duryea, and Helen Bacher. When it is necessary for a pupil to be called from a class it is the responsibility of these efficient workers to carry out the order. This organization has been a most honorable one ever since its establishment in the year 1925, during which time Mrs. Hueston, the competent Registrar, has always been the adviser. This year, Jane Cornwall, a student sure to suc- ceed in the future, is the chief of this squad of twenty-five girls. Peggy Maier, a girl who can accept any responsibility with the greatest of ease, is Janes assistant. This organization is an asset to the school and its services will always remain a part of Hempstead High. Left lo right, fini row: J. Hendrickson, D. Gutberlet, M. Maier, Mrs. Hueston Cadvirerb, J.

Ever since its organization in l934 this office has proven itself a very necessary department of our alma mater. The first thing that prompted its formation was the necessity for a separate branch to take care of the ever increasing attendance of the school and the many records which were added due to this. Mrs. H. M. Foster, Miss W. McLean, Mr. W. D. Beddow and Mr. E. C. Moore were then working in this office. Now, ten years later, Office 3 is well supplied with a group of Junior Secretaries whose three aims are: to become acquainted with office pro- cedure, to develop skill in routine procedure and to receive people intelligently, pleasingly, and serve them promptly and efficiently. Anyone, who passes by Office 3 after the last bell has rung, will always see a group of dwad- dlers who want to get admit slips, and also another group discussing the reason for which they were summoned to the office. The junior Sec- retaries dispatch them all readily and then begin their daily task of delivering those rectangular, white notes to some other unsuspecting pupils. Their efficiency and capability play an important Type That Sheet part in the life of our school, for without them many things would not be as easy to handle. The duties of this office require various skills such as these and give the girls an opportunity to carry out the aims of this organization. They consist of answering the telephone, running errands, meet- ing visitors, attending to students who wish new lockers, to those who are leaving and to those who have just entered the school, filing schedules and daily attendance records and the typing of the daily absentee and excused list. They also see to it that the report cards are sent home at the proper time. Friendly Peggy Carey was chosen Chief of the staff. To take Peggy's place when she is absent from school is Katherine Bellows. Louise Vande- water was elected to the position of secretary and Helen Malinski manages to keep all money ac- counts balanced. The entire staff enjoys working under the pleas- ant guidance of Mrs. Foster, their competent ad- viser. They act as aides to Mr. Beddow and Mr. Moore and proudly tell everyone that it's really a lot of fun to work in Ofiice 5. Lefv to right, fmt roufz C. Wischerth, J. Williams, W. Heinlein, C.

U HERE'S yer pass? and 'lWhere ya go- ing? are familiar remarks to H.H.S. students. They are an assurance that the Hall Cops are attending to their duties. If you are confronted with a suspicious, Are you sure thats your lock- er? be grateful that the Hall Cops are on the alert. Among the duties of the Hall Cops are the following: controlling traffic and maintaining dis- cipline during the changing of classes, seeing that halls and locker rooms maintain a respectable ap- pearance, and keeping the halls quiet While classes are in session. Their duties do not include the halting of all pretty girls, although one might have thoughts to that effect. During the Hall Cops annual election, Edward Nettleton was chosen chief and Oliver Patterson was chosen as his assistant. The Hall Cops, with Mr. Turnbull and Miss Layton as its advisers, is one of the most popular and necessary organiza- tions of Hempstead High School. The service ren- dered by this group is one of the many important activities of our school. Off the Grass OE betide any would-be trespasser, who loiters on the campus of H.H.S. during any period of the school day. The roving campus patrolman will in all probability be on hand to deliver swift rebuke, Having been established in 1935, thecampus patrol is still in its infancy, and its history is a short but creditable one. In 1935, Mr. Schem saw the need to keep the stairways clear during assembly programs. For this purpose he organized a small squad of boys to re- main on duty at certain places. It was later ob- served, however, that the students were walking all the way around the building and congregating on the sidewalks during lunch periods. Accord- ingly, the group was enlarged and reorganized, so that at least three boys were on duty at certain points every period. Thus the Campus Patrol has grown to the large, well-organized squad of juniors and seniors, whom we find policing the grounds of our Alma Mater at present. Mr. Voorhies is the able supervisor of the organization. Left to right, first row: R. Peter, G. Mollineaux, H. Shepski, H. Cuthbert, B. Birer, K. Shelton, R. Alsop, G. Green, B. Oberkrieser, E.

Oberfell, R. Anderson, O. Patterson, T. Malone, A Ward, D. Carlton, J. Schoebel, E. Rague, D. Morton. Step Along, Single File N the flurry and excitement of a popular as- sembly program, the students are too apt to forget or disregard those boys, who willingly gave their time and their ideas in order to make the assembly possible. Now we have long been a champion of the forgotten and feel that this con- dition should be remedied, so without further ado we present to you the Assembly Squad. As you all should know, it is the Assembly Squad who controls and directs the fast-moving traffic and seats the audience at each chapel pro- gram. The members of the squad have also pre- viously helped the adviser and president to plan the seating arrangement, the classes to be asked, and then they do the inviting. The senior mem- bers of the squad take their assigned places in the auditorium at the beginning of the period, while the juniors and sophomores act as guides and deliver the various classes into the hands of their elder brothers. Then comes the job of seat- ing the student body properly without too much confusion, and generally seeing to it that there isn't too much talking among the younger members of the school, who are not the only guilty ones. After all this has been efficiently accomplished, the members of the squad leave the assembly and return to their regular classes, unless their class has also been invited to attend. If so they remain to enjoy the assembly and help disperse the group at the end of the program. t The boys, under the leadership of Mr. Voorhies and Mr. Schem, who has just returned to Hemp- stead High School, are chosen for their scholastic standing and general dependability. As have other organization, the Assembly Squad has been keenly affected by the manpower shortage. Before Pearl Harbor approximately sixty boys made up the squad, but with eighteeners being called for ser- vice, the squad has been reduced to about thirty members. Theres no shortage of work though, so each remaining member of the squad has to work twice as hard. l At the regular meeting held once each week, while Kenneth Shelton wields the gavel in his position of president, the boys are assigned the rooms to be given under their supervision in the coming assemblies. Robert Birer holds the office of vice-president, while Harry Cuthbert and Ken- neth Vandewater complete the list of officers. Progress of the Library Y the year 1925, our library had grown and f the demand of the students had increased. Therefore that year saw the dawn of a new in- stitution in Hempstead High School. Miss Rhodes established the library staff, composed of girls of the Junior and Senior classes. The school being smaller than it is now, a majority of the girls chosen were known personally to Miss Rhodes and the remaining few were picked by recom- mendation by various teachers. Before the coming of the Junior Librarians, the library was used as a study hall because there werent enough books. Soon however, the Board of Education appropriated money, and the Hemp- stead High School Library, as we know it today. made its debut. It must have found a place in the hearts of the students, for it expanded rapidly in books and other literature, which were paid for by the Board of Education and money collected from students. who were fined for overdue books. If there were ever any doubts concerning its growing capacity. they were soon dispelled when Miss Rhodes and her assistants realized that their little library was growing, and that there was no place to put the overrlow. All available shelf space had been utilized, and a library had to have chairs and tables, but what could be done? Necessity, being the mother of invention, caused the Senior library to be invented. CThis much to the disgust of the Freshmen, who have experienced the embarrass- ment of walking in, thinking it was the entrance to Study Hall 555. Mr. George Uhl was the guiding star if not the shining light in the con- struction of the Senior Library. It was he person- ally who removed 158 seats from Study Hall 55, in the sweltering summer of 1941, and built the wall which now separates it from the study hall. This also is the domain of those helpful girls whose tasks are still about the same as in the days of yoreg stamping books, answering questions, cir- culating the yellow library slips, collecting fines, and taking care of stray books that have lost their owners. This past year Alice juergens has headed this conscientious group under the direction of Miss Rhodes, Miss Beattie, and Mrs. Anderson. We say, Keep it up, more power to you, and on with knowledge!

Strictly Confidential HERE are a number of important service or- ganizations active in Hempstead High today. and one of them is the Adviser Aides. This par- ticular service squad is composed of a group of boys and girls, selected for their abilities, who assist the grade advisers by performing certain duties. These duties are varied, but all are neces- sary to lighten the advisers' work and keep things running smoothly in Room 80. It is the boys' job to deliver the slips to the different study halls, to summon the students to be interviewed, but their work doesnt end there. If the student is not there, the boys must take the slips to both libraries, before they return to Room 80. As a rule, the girls act as secretaries to the grade advisers. They file the students' cards, col- lect all the necessary data concerning the pupils. and make appointments for the students to be interviewed. In some instances when a man short- age occurs, the girls also deliver the slips to study halls. Of course, it is an understood fact that, all work undertaken is confidential, and not to be mentioned outside. A rather unjust attitude on the part of the pupil, is to feel that, when they are summoned to Room 80, it is to be reprimanded. The grade advisers are just that- advisers, and they are there to guide pupils, who have difficulty in one subject or another, and to suggest the proper course of study for those persons to pursue. The popular faculty adviser is Miss Silver, who keeps things running smoothly. One of her many jobs is to see that there is never a shortage of help. It is Miss Silvers task to select the adviser aides and assign them to a certain teacher, for whom they are to work and during what period of the day. This year's chief of the Aides is Lorraine Rock- ett, who is ably assisted by Lysle Marshall. Lysle takes over, when the chief is absent, and Gilda Lutz keeps the money matters well in hand. The Adviser Aides have successfully accom- plished their work for a number of years and it is the firm belief of all, that they will continue doing their fine work in the future. Dixies 0nIy WAY back in November 1922, the Cafeteria first opened its doors to the students and faculty of H.H.S. It was evidently successful, be- cause we find out On account of the unexpected number of patrons the food supply ran out. Since 1922, H.H.S. has grown by the proverbial leaps and bounds, but the cafeteria has changed to keep up with the ambitious progress of our Alma Mater. ,When the new wing was added, the cafeteria moved from Study Hall 53 to its present made-to-order abode. Run on a non-profit basis, it serves about one thousand a day. When the weather is bad and home and Louis' seem too far away, iMrs. Goldy and her assistants prepare for an extra heavy rush during the lunch periods. It's during these days that the sixty percent cut in ice cream and the shortage of candy become apparent.

Two sopho- mores, Ralph Bickford and Buzz Reeves, make change with Tommy Trayer aiding them sixth g period. All in all the cafeteria adds up to a swell in- stitution, and we would sorely miss it if the war curtailed it altogether. Left to right: D. Anderson, T. Lasker, Miss V. Best Cadvirerj, M. Borman, J.

The girls file, give eye and ear tests, run errands, and generally make themselves useful about the office. Number Please OUNDED last year by June Todd and Billie Webb, the central service is still in the state of infancy. One or two of the students of office 2 are on duty at all times to take telephone mes- sages, answer question, give information to in- quirers.

Several other selec- tions were Marching Along, and Ode to Amer- ica, which was combined with the choir. The orchestra will again be on hand this year to take part in the annual Masonic Concert. For the Senior Play, the orchestra has this year been called upon to aid the actors. They are to form a small pit orchestra for the performance.

It was in 1885 that the prominent and ambitious business men of Hempstead formed our first band. This is now known as the legendary fifteen piece band of Hempstead. Thru the years, along with the growth of Hemp- stead, grew the many factors of its surroundings, and of course with these factors go the bands. Music has always played an important part in the patriotic and social life of the Americans, even up to the large drum and bugle corp, that march through our streets today. The next stage of development was in the early l900's, when a firemen's band was formed. This band lead many a so-called big parade of its day. Today we find a legion band, high school band, grade school band, firemens' band, and auxillary band, which perform at all patriotic functions, such as holiday parades and bond rallies. Many of these were shown at the Tercentennial Parade this year. The Hempstead High Band played an im- portant part in this historic day by leading the first division. On Thursday of the same week a pageant, entitled Hempstead on Parade, was presented by the Hempstead Public Schools and Our Lady of Loretto parochial school. The High School Band again took part by playing through- out the program under the direction of Miss Boyle. ay- - M: gg W' JDJ 75' , r FE? f a' . , 2 it .ffl zo? -r if -iiyv ' ts 'r ss . 1. -,il-A -,V,gy, .,,' X, ,gang pxabkusf- wx PS-'X , fafwff' , W, ff, , , ff ff, H W5 ,ffffff,,,,,'f' Guide Right' um the zzzzlrhzrorzf of ibe hand memberr at they formed many iniricale derigzzr on .Y 1 zlae Held during the half at foolball gamer. All Together, tt UIDE Right, is a familiar call as the members of the Hempstead High School Band march through the town's streets. Because of war time and -everyones effort to do their ut- most to serve their nation, the H.H.S. Band has taken an active part in war bond parades and rallies and parades at the induction of the draftees. One bond rally took place in Denton Green and another in front of the Arnold Constable building. At the latter two Hollywood stars, Jeanette Mac- Donald and Lloyd Nolan, were present to boost the bond sales. The Rivoli Theater invited the band to attend a rally at their theater, and several members drilled on the stage, while the remainder stood along the sides of the theater. After some celebrities performed, a sneak preview of Guadal- canal Diary was shown. On Saturday mornings the band can be seen practicing for the football games. This season, due to the gasoline shortage, they were unable Guide Right to go to the away games, but they participated in the home games doing some colorful routines un- der the direction of Mr. Nowak. After a season of marching the band turns to the symphonic music. Miss Boyle handles the job of building tone, quality, and richness among the student players. The band has presented several programs this year. In january they gave the P. T. A. scholarship concert. February found a musical assembly program for the enjoyment of the student body. For the Greek Games there was a small girl's band formed. Every year the band takes part in the Memorial Day parade. In june a few members of each section will be on hand to form a small popular band for Senior Class Night at which the band has a chance to perform amusing traits by music. So, Hemp- stead High School means fine music, be it popular, marching, or symphonic. Destination ff zo. Ninn. Scholarship CHOLARSHIP, Initiative, Co-operation, Cour- tesy, and Service are the five ideals of the Pentagon Club. Although membership in this select group of upperclassmen is based solely on individual scholarship, its members are by no means thick-lensed bookworms. On the contrary they are a group of regular fellows with a con- siderable amount of school spirit and a serious at- titude toward their studies. Many of them went to summer school and completed their entire high school course in january, thus enabling them to attend college before serving in the armed forces. Harold Westman presides at the monthly meet- ings, and Richard Bonniwell acts as vice-president. The minutes are recorded by joseph Oberfell, and Leon Mandel has little trouble guarding the club funds. WiUard Smith had charge of soliciting ad- vertisements for the senior play program.

Leadership: Scholarship N keeping up with the current fad of celebrat- ing anniversaries, the Pen and Ink this year took note of its twentieth year of life. At the annual faculty tea, a huge success, by the way, one of the main attractions was a cake with Twen- tieth Anniversaryn written across it. At the meetings the group has enjoyed many interesting guests, one of whom was Sgt. Margie Kemp of the W.A.C. Her enthusiasm for this was enjoyed by the girls, and just between you and me, if the age requirement were lower, the man- power shortage would have a competitor. Ruth Seelbach has charge of the meetings, while Muriel Phelps is vice-president. Peggy Maier takes care of the records, with Anne Booth guarding the silver, and Mr. Pill guiding the group. jane Hendrickson is the Editor-in-Chief of the Hand- book.

HIS year the Pallas Club, under the super- vision of genial Miss Cantfil, elected Helen Wyse to that important office of president, while Rita Vanderhoof received the votes as her assistant. Barbara Plank keeps the minutes and Majorie Eickoff collects all dues. Janice Ackley is pro- gram committee chairman and each month she appoints a group of girls to assist her in planning the meetings. Mrs. Young spoke to the girls on France at one meeting. This proved very interesting for every- one. Several other interesting meetings were held throughout the year and a New Year's Party was enjoyed by all who attended. As boys are not included in the Pallas Club, these male wizards formed their own club, the junto. Morton Reeve presides at each meeting with Alan Palmer as his right hand man. John Mottola records all business and Ralph Bickford records all money. Mr. Rago is their friendly ad- viser. The boys took on the patriotic job of collecting scrap paper. Boxes were placed in each room with a sign, so that students would realize what they were for. Each afternoon the boys would go around and collect the waste paper. To start this drive off right, each member made short speeches about the necessity of saving waste paper in the homerooms. , f' ' J fa . ml K' A7 ,,f -I-jf' ,fry . 4 , I, , I Nyc. ,ff pl- V ,jjj .ff f- ' ' ' ff , Aff ,-J I gig ..'

In line with the present trend of streamlining, they have incorporated the offices of secretary and treasurer with Lee Dunbar holding that position. Meetings are held every third Wednesday with Mr. Navarra as the adviser. The fairer half of this picture is known as the Pioneers. First of the three girls' honor clubs in H.H.S., the Pioneers is composed of freshman girls, who average ninety per cent or above in each of four major subjects. Not to be outdone by their older sisters, the club presents a live dollar award at the September Honor Chapel to the girl with the highest average.

The club is made up mainly of acting beginners, who would like to learn and practice the fundamentals of the stage. The purpose of the organization is to give train- ing to the members, so that they can take part in the more advanced acting groups in the school. The girls seem to hold the majority of the offices in this group. Ethel Lord was chosen president and Mary Stavrinos assists her as vice-president. The secretary is Evelyn Beroza, while Frank Fay manages the important and necessary finances. This year several of the club's talented members took part in the annual Christmas pageant. Some of them were on the property committee, while the president of the organization took the dramatic role of the angel. In the early spring the Curtain Call Club staged a one act play as a matinee. The clubis meetings this year are held the first and third Thursday of each month, under the supervision of Miss Linn. Although this is still a young club in years we are sure it has become one of the most popular in the school.

Everything in this club is romanized, for even the prominent offices are recognized by their Latin names. The first Consul Judy Witt rules, while Elsie Reynolds, the second Consul as- sists her. The Scribe, Frances Wolke, keeps the records of the exact happenings of the club. Alice Thorsell, Quaester, holds the purse strings. A com- mittee, which has been elected to carry out numer- ous duties, is called Aedile. The chairman Margery Sutter is assisted by Betty Hunt and Dorothy Young. At the regular meetings, the third Tuesday of each month, contests and games pertaining to Latin are played. American holidays are transferred to Roman times and greeted with Latin phrases. Latin may be considered a dead language, but not by the Carpe Diem Sodalitas. Room 51, the club room, is alive with Latin students eager to learn about historical Rome, its background and famous men. Each year prizes are given for scholarship in regents. Last year three prizes were awarded. Elsie Reynolds and Alvin Feldman received the second year prizes. Jeanette Murray was the winner of the third year prize. The Carpe Diem Sodalitas is supervised by that friendly adviser, Miss McDermott. Mrs. Rugen is the assistant adviser. In time of war educational emphasis has always been placed on technical courses. This trend has influenced the Hempstead High School curriculum as well as other schools throughout the country. But we must not forget our subjects with a cultural background, such as languages. People do not realize that Latin is vital and that it is the back- ground of our own English language. Many of our very common words are just simple Latin words, finished off by Anglicized refinement. Students with a background of Latin have not only found themselves superior leaders in business in the past but also irresistible commanders during the war. Left to right, jim! row: R. Homadue, F.

Im Deutschen Kreise HE German Club, at present as in the past, has been organized to promote further interest in German culture. It is open to all students with a knowledge of German, who desire to further their minds along the line of German customs and modes of life. The club's aim is purely social. Was run sie bei den Sitzungen? At the meet- ings speakers and many solos by the musically minded members have been heard. They have also attended several skits and parties presented by the Mitglieder. This year the club excels in talent and membership. Only boys participated in the pro- grams for the February and April meetings. The entertainment for the February meeting was under the supervision of Eric Weiss. Warren Kaufmann and William Otten were in charge of the April meeting. The March meeting was planned by the girls who were under the direction of Emma Reiss and Irma Kunnmann. At another meeting an interesting talk was given about life in Germany before the war. It proved very useful inasmuch as it was Connected with the cultural work which was being done in the classes at that time. The most successful cake sale in the history of the German Club was held during November. A profit of 3316.55 was made. This money together with the dues was used to finance the annual Christmas Party and the spring picnic. Each monthly meeting is presided over by Ruth Monkemeyer. She is assisted by capable Louise Bolanz. Dorothy May records the exact Erlebnisse or events of the club. Money matters are attended to by efficient Dorothy Heinlein. Dorothy Yawner and her committee of seven were elected to plan the entertainment. The club is under the super- vision of helpful and willing Frau Franks, who has been the adviser for six years.

Reunion Francaise NCE a month under the direction of Miss Neel, a group of students, who are inter- ested in French customs and literature, assemble to discuss the current events of war-torn France. At these meetings the students, many of whom are of French extraction, also study the literature, mu- sic, art, and customs of 'lLa Belle Francef' Al- though France has been conquered and is now in enemy hands, members of Le Cercle Francais are confident that some day France will regain the freedom it once enjoyed, and will become a dom- inant world power once more. The club plans to go to a French museum in New York City to view old French art. Yvette Lemesnager is the president of the club and John Zinkand acts as vice-pres- ident. Ralph Bickford keeps the minutes and Mar- garet Winkler is treasurer. Entuslastas De Espanol HIS year the members of El Circulo Castel- lano are studying the customs of Spanish American countries. One of their interests is col- lecting Spanish music and ideas for decorating purposes. This club gives an opportunity to sing songs, play games, and see movies in Spanish, and to learn about the customs of our southern neigh- bors. The club is under the capable leadership of presidente Mary Belfi. John Edwards is vice- president and takes charge of the meetings when Mary is not presente. Shirley Kramer keeps the minutes, being la escorita, and Senorita Claire Moran has charge of all money affairs. Ever since her arrival at Hempstead High School, Mrs. Jones has been the friendly adviser. Numerical Wizzes 1 OMPOSED of juniors and seniors who have overcome the difficulties of plane geometry and intermediate algebra, the Tupiar Club is an organization, which is established for math-minded students. The members of the club wish to learn more about mathematics than what they receive in the regular school curriculum, and even Ein- stein's hypotheses hold no terrors for these quick- witted mathematicians. This year, as usual, the members of the club learned a few of the func- tions of that very remarkable instrument, the slide rule. By the surveyors transit, they measured dis- tant objects of various dimensions. Murray Cantor presides over these bright math- ematical scholars and Roy Palmer ably assists him as vice-president. Edward Nettleton has the dual role of both secretary and treasurer. Popular Mr. Whitmore supervises the club's activities. The at- mosphere of conviviality, which is present at every meeting, makes the Tupiar one of the most popular clubs in the school. Science Devotees if E are living in a technical age, seems to be the motto of these Aristotelian dis- ciples, who are members of the Science Club. Un- der the direction of Mr. Faust and Mr. Lints, and amid bunson burners, test tubes, retorts, and other equipment, numerous experiments have been per- formed by the members. Among these was the making of gun cotton, which highlighted the year's activities. Helen Szczephowski raps the gavel while jack Martin acts as scribe and money collector. This year has also seen the inauguration of the Natural Science Club in Hempstead High School. Under the supervision of Mr. Berkely and Mr. Eckert, it is intended for the students interested in geology, botany, physiography, astronomy, and biology. Several projects, such as constructing paper crystals and making relief maps from con- tour maps, have been undertaken by the students. Left to right, fmt row: R. Palmer lVice-Presiderzlj, M.

After a slight, delay, they elected George Greene president with John Penirjian as vice-pres- ident, while joan Kaplan keeps the minutes. Being an ambitious group of photo-Hends, they have laboratory work every Thursday afternoon so that they may develop pictures, if they are able to buy the film.

Bowling Experts VERY Monday afternoon finds the members of the bowling team at the Hempstead Rec, conscientiously bowling strikes and spares in preparation for their Tuesday Contests with the other high school teams in the South Shore Ath- letic League. Having won fourteen of its twenty matches at this writing, we can well be proud of Mr. Navarrais proteges. Thus far the Hempstead team has scored three victories over Lawrence, three over South Side, four over Oceanside, and four over Sewan- haka. Hempsteads highest score to date was seven hundred ninety-seven points in one encounter against the Lawrence five. Through the diligent efforts of its members, the team at present stands in second place in the South Shore Athletic League, and seems headed toward a very successful season. gf -i '.- 1...- .. -14 4,-3, EFT J TD.

Under the guidance of Mr. Fay, the team won five out of seven games. Although the team had two defeats against its record, the Fay-men were considered one of the strongest teams in Nassau County at the end of the season. With only two experienced men returning, Hempstead opened its season against the more experienced Freeport. The game was limited to two rallies, with the Red Devils getting both of them. After their first defeat, the Tigers came roaring back to defeat Baldwin, with Doug Millette scor- ing twice and Walt Petersen making the other tally for a final score of 18 to 6. The Fay-men then took the field the following week, confident of making it two straight by de- feating Sewanhaka, but their hopes were short- lived. Hempstead scored in the second period with Latrimer plunging over, but a long march and the back's ramapage scored over two touchdowns for Sewanhaka. Hempstead now faced a traditional rival as their next foe and the prospects of a Tiger victory looked very slim, but Hempstead recovered them- selves and rolled Chaminade over to the tune of 28 points to Chaminades 6. The next team on Hempstead's schedule was North Tarrytown from Westchester County. The weather conditions were extremely poor, but Hempstead showed disregard for the muddy Held and wet ball by swamping North Tarrytown 51 to O. Zeke Latrimer scored twice in the first period, Walter Petersen received two touchdown passes, and Doug Millette in the fourth period. Mineola was the opponent that then stood in Hempstead's way. Mineola fumbled, and Hemp- stead recovered it, running to the eight yard line on alternating running plays by Latrimer and Millette. Millette then threw to Petersen, who scored a touchdown. In the last quarter a Mineola kick was returned to their 36 yard line, and another goal-line drive was started, which was climaxed by a touchdown pass from Millette to Petersen. 1 w 1 1 Left to riglal, Ent row: Millette, Matuza, Prelusky, Lipnicki, Carta, Lattimer, Ostrosky, Magee, Kology, Petersen, McGay.

After an exchange of kicks, another pass to Peter- sen produced a second Hempstead tally. A pass from Petersen to Lattimer gave the Tigers another score, the entire play covering 80 yards.

Later Millette and Lattimer also scored while Millette made three conversions for the final score 35 to 0. 71143 jg, p t Jglf VA!! XJ Th ree Strikes, You're Out N l945 Mr. Fay again trained a baseball team, which, on the diamond, managed to make an impressive record against other schools in Nassau. Its record of sixteen wins and three defeats was considered one of the most outstanding in Nassau County. The outlook at the beginning of the season was fairly hopeful, in that Skura and Sealy, two pitching aces, and Hake and Wayne were return- ing. With Lattimer, Baker, Bicknell, Tabinsky, Petersen and Krolac filling out the other positions, Hempstead proved to be a formidable nine. The Tigers ran up twenty or more runs against Cham- inade and East Rockaway, and made a record in winning four shutout games in a row against Hicksville, Mineola, Chaminade, and Freeport.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Voorhies, and the com- bined efforts of all on the team, they have defeated Oceanside, Garden City, Mepham, and Central. These victories are credited to the sharpshooting of Bob Wilcox, captain, Austin Powell, Bob Hiller, and Jackie Shevlin, who is one of the few girls in the history of the Nimrods. As well as the regular interscholastic matches with other Long Island schools, the team has been competing in the National Rifle Association on postal matches. These matches are a series of con- tests between the best teams in the country to de- termine the Champs At the time of this writ- ing a Section Eight New York State Public High School Athletic Association match is planned to take place down on our range, which the Nimrods hope to win.

The class was divided into groups, one special- izing in tumbling, another on the rings, and a third on the hig hand parallel bars. Occasionally a ser- vice man, skilled in any of these arts drops into the gym and gives the boys some pointers which are usually very helpful.

These athletic juniors and seniors are carefully chosen for ability in leader- ship as well as proficiency in sports by Mrs, Reicher and Miss MacCallum. The girls must be willing to give up several periods a week to checking at- tendance, refereeing hockey and basketball games, and helping to keep general law and order in the gym classes. Many of the Gym Aides also help the Sophomores and Freshmen prepare for the annual Greek Games. Each Gym Aide, under the supervision of the sport instructors, receives ex- perience in handling classes and in the sport in which she isAinterested. The girls earn, for each period they act as gym assistants, live points toward their monograms. In order to receive a monogram a girl must earn a minimum of fifteen points in leadership and must have at least one sport per season to her credit.

Hockey, always popular among H.H.S. girl ath- letes, was well represented this year. The girls willingly spent a great deal of time practicing the handling of the hockey stick before starting the tournament. They were more than amply rewarded for their efforts by the lively inter-class tourna- ment and by the lusty cheers of the onlookers. Of course, a few black eyes and bruised shins were to be expected. Adelaide Marold, the Junior I captain of last year, is this year's sports leader in hockey.

The senior girls are under the supervision of Miss MacCallum, the junior girls under Miss Beighleyg the sophomore girls under Mrs. Reicher. The members of the Senior honor team were: Doris Barrows, Adelaide Marold, Betty Bromm, Betty Kurz, Betty Corrigan, Violet Baumbach, Elsie Moran, and Evelyn Kosky.

Everywhere the competition is keen, because there are so many willing players who strive to win. Pictured below is a carefully chosen group of girls, who represent the cream of the crop in their particular sport, They are known as Sports Leaders. The Sports Leaders possess talent, initiative, leadership, and a fine sense of sportsmanship. Each girl plays a prominent part in the game, and with her leadership urges her team to victory. Starting the ranks of Sports Leaders is our base- ball enthusiast, Fern Hein. Next is Adelaide Mar- old, the leader of hockey, whose captainship brought her last year's team to victory. The chair- man of the Greek Games, the annual tournament between Freshmen and Sophomores, is Virginia Crowley. The capable leader of badminton is Har- riet Hoffman, who was also last year's captain.

Set 'em up in the other alley, and many other similar terms strike a familiar chord to the members of the bowling team. This year the team is ably captained by Elsie jane Moran. Girls on the team are Millie Merkovich, Elaine Ackerly, Viola Nelson, Dot Heinlein, Mar- garet Reimels and Elsie Jane Moran. The sub- stitutes are Betty Bromm and Marjorie Stevenson. The girls go bowling on Monday afternoons under the supervision of Miss Rowles and Miss Silver. Most of the girls have wonderfully improved their score. In January the girls' team competed in a bowl- ing match against the boys' team. Both have been practicing for this match, in which three games were played. It was a close match with the boys defeating the girls with a close score of 2208 to 2202 pins. The girls hope to complete a successful season with an equally successful spread. Let em Fly ACH spring and fall, a group of enthusiastic girls, experts at making the badminton bird fly over the net, meet in the gym for a series of lively games. Under the leadership of able and efficient Har- riet Hoffman, who also guided last year's squad through a successful season, a series of tournaments are held to determine champ of the group. Mrs. Rugen, the friendly and ever-present adviser of the group, is quite a professional player herself. -6 5 7 -K. . . KW p: 1 I .. . '.' 'T - Z 'am 'Q . , 4 E.

F rosh Score in OOD sportsmanship, that's the spirit in which Freshman and Sophomore girls enter into the traditional Greek Games each year. The 1943 Greek Games, based on the Olympic Games of old, were under the student-direction of efficient Syrena Halquist, and were dedicated to Minerva, goddess of wisdom and defense. The athletes of each class, garbed in tunics, en- tered the colorfully decorated gym followed by the two priestesses and their aides. The ode to Minerva was read and the Glee Club sang a few selections. The Greek National Anthem was then sung by everyone. A demonstration of grace and beauty by the dancers from the creative-dancing classes was next on the program. The dancers represented a conquered people overpowering their enforced masters once more to enjoy freedom. Pat Nero then challenged the Freshman to par- ticipate in the various events, and the challenge was accepted by a Freshman, Virginia Lowe. The first event announced was hurdling for form. Each contestant was given two chances, and the winner was Freshman Muriel Borman. The second event Greek Games was discus for form and was won by another Freshman, Dolores Lee. Then the hoop-races were held. Two races were run off and each time the Sophomores, led by Helen Gilmore, came out on top. Next came the exciting torch races. As in the hoop races, there were two races and the Sophomores, under the leadership of Jackie Meyer, eked out a win over the Freshmen. The last contest was the horse ex- hibition followed by the horse race. Eileen Duffy, freshman charioteer, put her charges through their paces to win out over the Sophomore horses guided by janet Walsh. . All events over, wreaths were awarded to the winners by the Sophomore priestess, Helen Hohlen, aided by the Freshman priestess, Leah Schlesinger. When the final score was added, it was found that the Freshmen were victorious for the second time in eight years. So in a blaze of glory the Freshmen led the athletes out of the gym. Once more, thanks to those two most capable directors, Miss MacCallum and Mrs. Reicher, the Greek Games of Hempstead High were considered a great success. Slzzdentr of Fwmklirz School paure 112 the Minuet. Portrayal of the Past N October 14, 1943, the athletic held of Hempstead High was turned over to the Hempstead public and parochial schools. The event was one of the many which were celebrated that week in honor of Hempstead's Tercentenary. Each school contributed some phase of Hempstead life in olden times. The Hempstead High School band, under the leadership of Miss Imogene Boyle, be- gan the entertainment. Indian Days, picturing pre-colonial life, and presented by Prospect School, began the pageant. The students danced and enacted the scene of Hempstead's-purchase by the white men. Wash- ington School's contribution, The Building of Hempstead, followed. Early Hempstead was re- built in clever miniature by the pupils under the supervision of Mr. Stentholm and Miss Tillings. Shown were St. George's Church, Sammis Tavern and other famous buildings. A part of the scene is pictured on the opposite page. In colonial times the sheep were brought in from the common pasturage and claimed by their owners. Sheep Parting and the Country Fair 2 portrayed this occasion, which was presented by Jackson School. The scene was complete with mothers an'd children, venders and clowns. Frank- lin School also enacted the gala occasions of that time, choosing as their theme, Dances and Fes- tivities of the Period. The Duke's Laws, portraying the English con- ceptions of justice and liberty, were characterized by the students of Fulton School. Ludlum School's act, British Occupation, which showed how the inhabitants of Hempstead were forced to feed the British occupants, followed. The parochial school, Our Lady of Loretta, depicted the Visit of our First President, who was only one of makers of history who visited here. Hempstead High School presented Our Youth of Today, in which students participated in present sports and activties. The lowering of the flag and taps ended the pleasant and instructive afternoon. Mr. Fay and Dr. Gore should be congratulated for their excellent preparation of the pageant. The colonial also thanks Miss Gerda Peterich who took the pictures shown on these two pages.

Its churchyard is filled with vine, bush, and flower and holds many care- fully-kept graves of the pioneers of Long Island. Three former Reverends of the church are buried in the shadow of the church they loved and for which they labored. On an eventful day in March 1665, Governor Richard Nichols called together in Hempstead the first representa- tive assembly ever convened in the province of New York. The governor then produced a code of laws, called the Dukes Laws, which provided for the establishment and orderly management of the affairs of a parish. During the rectorship of Reverend John Thomas, St. George received a chalice, paten and prayer book from Queen Anne. Among other relics displayed in the church is a charter granted by King George 11. At the time of the Revolution, Reverend Leonard Cutting was the church's rector. His experience in Hempstead read like a chapter in a historical novel. It was during his rector- ship that St. George's received the sixteen bullet holes in its weather vane. The connection between this parish and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, which had been St. George's mother parish, was broken. The present day structure is the same one that was erected in 1822. This building is the third erected on the same site, but the same old weather cock vane and spindle still surmount the present building. Reverend john S. Haight is the present Rector of St. Georges. 109 CRESCENT CLUB Se-rzfife Station Phone Hempstead 1997 711 FULTON AVENUE Hempstead, L. I. Hempstead 1310 Residence - Hempstead 5966-1 ROBERT L.

Gehrig Central Nassau Bldg. 250 FULTON AVENUE Hempstead, N. Y. , False Alarm HE building pictured above, which should be familiar to all at H.H.S., is the Protection Hose Co. fire house. Built in 1875, it is the oldest Hrehouse in Hempstead. It is situated on land donated to the village for the building of the fire house by Phillip Harper, founder of Harper Publishing Co. The building has been headquarters for the Protection Hose Co., which is one of Hempstead's finest since its opening, but the basement was used as a jail in the late lS0O's. For many years the bell in the tower was the only means af a fire alarm in the village. Back in the 1800's if a per- son's home caught fire, he had to run to the fire house, ring the bell, and wait for his neighbors to join him, so that they could pull the fire engine to the fire. Many homes were destroyed by the use of this method, so it was remedied in the best way the times offered. Whenever the farmers heard the fire alarm, they rode their horses to the fire house and hitched them to the fire engine. Although this was an improvement, it couldn't compare with today's swift and efficient service. As Prospect St. is to be widened the question What to do with the old Hre house? has arisen. Should it be torn down or moved back? The village board will settle this question but everyone will miss this familiar old landmark if it is destroyed. ll0 If if is wor+I1 saving, if is worfh FRAMING your DIPLOMA and PICTURE ALL FRAMES AND FRAMING ARE DONE ON THE PREMISES Estimates cheerfully given - no obligation We 4150 Jpecialize in MIRRORS FURNITURE TOPS GLASS FOR ALL PURPOSES HEMPSTEAD GLASS COMPANY 305 FRONT STREET HEMPSTEAD, N.

PATTERSON, Mgr. ll2 Postage Due EMPSTEADS Post Office came into being in 1802, when Abraham Bedell, a tavern keeper, accepted the Postmastership. The first Post Ofiice was located in Bedell's tavern on the northeast corner of Main and Front Streets, just outside the stockade, which extended to Fulton Street. Mail was routed through Hempstead by Stage Coach, which crossed the sound by ferry, docking at College Point. Postal rates were as high as four dollars an ounce. At first there were no deliveriesg all mail had to be called for. Later four carriers delivered mail as far west as Elmont and east as far as Hicksville. Several years later the post oiiice moved to 99 Main Street, then to the Cohn building on Center Street. Since June 1933, the Post Oliice has been located on Fulton Street in a modern l5350,000 building. At present there are ninety postal employees, while nine square miles are covered by the thirty-two mail carriers. In the last ten years the post office has trebled its revenue in stamp sales. Approximately S320,000 were taken in last year in postal revenue. Thomas J. Hartnett has been serving as postmaster of Hempstead since October 1933.

It is given the title Wright Mansion. Proof of its historic value is the fact that it is now re- corded in the Congressional Library in Washington, with the understanding that the interior and exterior of the building are not to be changed in any manner. The house is of colonial architecture consisting of thir- teen large rooms. There are large round columns supporting the upper porch as well as additional ones supporting the roof. Three large chimneys rise above all the other rooftops. The interior is of Early American design. The lumber was fastened with wooden pegs instead of the usual modern nails or bolts. The shrubbery surrounding the building is very valuable in itself and a colonial designed fence encloses the property. The house and grounds are a very picturesque scene to the people passing through Greenwich Street.

One goes here to obtain a marriage, dog, hunting, fishing, peddler, explosive, or garbage license. Among the many important ofhces housed on its two floors and basement are the Building Inspector, Vital Statistics, Collector of Taxes, Town Comptroller, Defense Transpor- tation, and Town Supervisor. Hempstead's Board of Super- visors meets every Tuesday morning at the Town Hall. There are over one hundred employees, most notable of whom are Ralph Cook, Receiver of Taxes, James Gehrig, Presiding Supervisor, and Frank Gilbert, Town Clerk. Uniondale and Green Acres water district offices, justice court, and zoning oflices are also located in this important building. Three air raid shelters and four sets of air raid equipment were installed to protect the Hal1's employees, in case of an air raid. Six large vaults keep Hempstead's valuable records safe for many years. Many of the town's 354,000 people have been given information on the loca- tion of the offices by Doc, the friendly guard. A painting of the rear of the Town Hall and Harper's Park done by Dr. Gore, Superintendent of Schools, hangs in the Town Comptroller's ofiice. niniaiii smmni Well-rounded secrefarial courses for high school graduafes.

Bnilrfer 110 CAMERON AVENUE Hempstead 5222 Founded -1820 N 1820 the first Methodist church was constructed on the northeast corner of Front and Wrrsliiiigton Streets. Be- fore this, Methodist ministers had been obliged to travel from jamaica to preach from wagons, in private homes or in the fields. Reverend Williain Thatcher became Hemp- stead's first permanent Methodist minister in 1816. He delivered his sermons in an unfinished attic in a home of one of the congregation. By 1817 enough money was col- lected to hire a hall on the corner of Front and Franklin Streets. Later, a school house was bought and with a few alterations served as a church until 1820, when the first real church was erected. The total building cost of this first church was S1.500. After thirty-four years of service this building was de- clared too small to hold the growing congregation. There- fore in 1854 the present church was built using 815,000 of the contributions. The first Sunday School building was later built separate from the main church. In 1895 the church was remodeled and enlarged. Ar the same time both buildings were connected. Besides a few extra coats of paint, the church is the same today. The congregation is still growing and plans are being made to enlarge the building again. Reverend Theodore Boblin is now serving as minister in the church. 118 GET Wil.s'o1z Azfblelif Equipmefzzf AT S T A F F O R D ' S 150 JACKSON STREET just West of Main St. Hempstead, N. Y.
