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.

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-

Looking .mufla from the faculty efztrrmfe. 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

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
