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

Dr. William A. Gore HE little white dog that follows us around the high school sat in a chair looking at a globe of the world. We caught the pose. 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
