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.

Office Zh, better known as Dr. Maure's office, is really the center of the school educational system. Almost all matters pertaining to the student body and the school as a whole pass through this office. Dr. Maure's great responsibility as principal is very much lessened by the capable assistance of his two secretaries, june M. Todd and Elinore Morges. This office is a little less formal and more private than the other offices, which helps many a troubled student to feel at home. Any person desiring aid in his school problems, be he teacher or student, may feel free to drop in for a chat with Dr. Maure in one of his free moments. Ofhce 3 is directed by Hazel M. Foster, Dean of Girls, William Beddow, Assistant Principal, and E. Carleton Moore, Administrative Assistant. The daily attendance of each student is kept in this office. Probably every student has, at some time, received a slip saying, Please report to Office 3 at the end of the period. Receiving such a slip usually means that there is some detail of your at- tendance for the previous day which needs explain- ing, so you had better brush up on your alibis. All extra-curricular activities, the finances of such activities, and the entire athletic program for boys and girls, including the point system, are su- pervised here. The personnel of this office also works in close cooperation with the health office, so that the administration is constantly aware of the health problems of all pupils. These ofhces form the nucleus of the administra- tive system of Hempstead High School. They may be compared to the wheel of a car, with Dr. Maureis office as the hub, and the other offices as the spokes. The hub and spokes are useless when separated, but together they form the means of locomotion for the car. In the same way, each office is helpless when alone, but combined they are re- sponsible for the smooth operation of the H. H. S. educational system. Without the efficiency of these offices, Hempstead High would be badly crippled. Besides a record of each studentls attendance, a record of his disciplinary problems is on Hle in this office.
