X x f M nnnvu-ng HE days of Dr. Maure, the genial coun- selor of office ZW, are busy ones, but no two are alike. Nevertheless, Dr. Maure never appears to be in a hurry. Besides the routine tasks of hiring teachers, checking the formation of schedules, the problems of discipline and those involving attendance, a principal must also meet parents, direct special tests, inspect plays, and consult with teachers and pupils on matters of importance. Dr. Maure says that his interviews with the boys and girls are, by far, his most interesting work. These concern questions about colleges, jobs, or even personal matters. We all agree that just telling our troubles into his kind sympa- thetic ear seems to help a lot. Being principal since 1921 has not injured Dr. Maure's sense of humor. His ready joke is always there. He was born in Richmond Hill. He holds many degrees and honors. His hobbies are all athletic, but golf and bowling are his favorites. What a difference a day makes! It may be a day of concentrated effort. It may be one of interviews. But whatever the day, if it is one of Dr. Maure's, it will hold in its wake human in- terest, tears, and laughter.

Huggy! I' ii HE successful operation and expansion of our public school system during the last several years here in Hempstead has in a large measure been due to our genial and ever popular Superintendent of Schools, Dr. William A. Gore. He is always cheerful, and is never too busy to pause and give a friendly greeting to a faculty member or a student. In wartime when so much is expected of our public institutions, it is at difficult task to maintain a proper perspective of our real goals and simultaneously carry on the manifold duties which war has imposed upon us. He clearly realizes this problem. It is with the future of the students that he is earnestly concerned. His sound policies have prompted him to emphasize the good things resulting from our present world conflict, and to incorporate them into the pattern which will assure our country and community good citizens. Through him, our schools have been outstand- ing in every patriotic and community drive. Dr. Gore has given us understanding, train- ing in good citizenship, and the good things in education. DR. WILLIAM GORE
