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. Cidfuzmafdf
