A Day In The Life Of A Typical Student F0llllW0llll URING recent years, particular days have had much publicity. First came Mrs. Roosevelt's My Day, a newspaper column. Then came the big day of invasion, D-Day. At present we are all hoping for V-Day. Hence, we, the Colonial Staff, have chosen a special day for our theme. We call it High-Day, meaning a typical high school day. Although we have tried to get away from the war, we haven't forgotten the boys from Hempstead High in the serv- ices. We have devoted a special page in their honor. The first person who greets us as we begin our typical high school day is probably a teacher. Consequently, the first section that meets your eye in our book is the faculty section. Next we chat with our friends. These friends must be from one of the four classes in high school-Freshman, Soph- omore, junior, or.Senior. The second section of our book is devoted to these classes. Finally we reach the close of the last period and dash off to a club meeting. In our book these clubs and organizations are under the title of Activities. If there is still time after our club meeting, we try to get to whatever game is being played that afternoon. This is one of the most interesting portions of our High-Day. These athletics take up the fourth section of our book. That about winds upl' our High- Day, but it doesn't quite bring us to the end of our book. There is still the Feature section, in which the advertisements that pay for our book are printed. Through- out these ads there are pictures, car- toons, and write-ups. So with the following salutation we present the 1945 Colonial: Happy High-Day!

It is with a sense of helplessness that she watches the casualty lists mount, and a glow of pride as an increasing number of her men distinguish themselves in the line of duty. There is little that can be said to express the sentiment that Hempstead High School feels toward those who are making the supreme sacrifice for their country and their Alma Mater. What can be more fitting than the inspiring words of our national anthem, as a salute to these boys as well as a comfort to our own aching hearts? , 22.
