Published by the Junior Class of Hempstead High School Hempstead, Long Island, New York Q ILVER bells ring out hailing Mr. E. Carleton Moore on his twenty- fifth year at Hempstead High School. We are proud to honor Mr. Moore by dedicating to him our yearbook in appreciation of his many years of splendid service. Born in Lubec, Maine, Mr. Moore, after completing his high school education, went on to grad- ate from Middlebury Col- lege. After further study he obtained his Master's de- gree at Columbia University. DEDICATION Mr. Moore's teaching career started partially by accident. Orig- inally intending to become a forest ranger, he entered college with that thought in mind, but decided to teach after listening to the advice of one of his instructors. In 1934 Mr. Moore organized the audio-visual program which, under his leadership, has become so valuable to our students. One of the founders of the New York State Audio-Visual Council, of which he is currently executive secretary, Mr. Moore is also vice-president of the Metropolitan Branch of the Department of Audio-Visual Instruction. In addition he fills the position of curriculum co-ordinator for the Hemp- stead schools. For recreation our audio-visual director likes nothing better than a good book. He reads everything from comics to classics, but prefers his- torical material. A little bowling is also enjoyed occasionally. We of the 1951 Colonial are sincerely happy to be able to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. E. Carleton Moore, a man who has long served Hempstead High School faithfully and well. FOREWORD F ROM the broad expanse of the football field to the Camera Club's tiny dark room in the basement, activities flourish at Hempstead High School. We, as a school, are justly proud of our many and widely diversified activities. We are happy in the knowledge that they rank with the finest anywhere. They compose an integral part of our school life and represent a firm proof of our school spirit. This year marked the addition of still more activities to our already broad program, and the numerous events of the school year ran the gamut from sobriety to sheer mirth. In our yearbook we have endeavored to cover all events as accurately and completely as possible, and have attempted to portray our school realistically and gaily. We sincerely hope that our art work, photos, and articles will convey some of the spirit of Hempstead High School to you, the students, faculty, and friends of this school, as you glance through the pages of our 1951 Colonial. Board of Education Administration Faculty Classroom Scenes FACULTY JOMEBEL BOARD OF EDUCATION BEING the elected representatives of the taxpayers of our school district, the Board of Education is the final governing authority of our school system. In selecting the members of the Board of Edu- cation, it is up to the people of Hempstead to elect a capable group of citizens to guide the policies and to control the financial affairs of our school system. Civic-minded, these men give gener- ously of their time and effort to see that our school system is gov- erned as efficiently as possible. At the same time they are careful to use judiciously the money entrusted to their care. Left to right. Row I: Dr. Hy- man Seller, Treasurer; John B. Wolff; Margaret E. Doty, Cleric; Russell G. Booth, Presi- dent; C. F. Tunnicliffe Jones, Attorney; John J. Feldis. Row II: Robert J. Hartnett, Secre- tary; Dr. W. A. Kincaid, Su- perintendent of Schools. On the third Thursday of each month and whenever a special problem arises, these citizens meet in the Board of Education offices to discuss the needs of our school. Despite the fact that these meet- ings are sometimes long and tiring, our Board continues to give freely of its time. We can be sure that their decisions are wise and practical. We are indeed grateful to these men for giving liberally of their time in the interest of better schools for Hempstead. Let us support our Board in every way we possibly can. Remember it is for our benefit that there is a Board of Education in each school district. With new building projects in view and expanding educational facili- ties constantly arising every pupil in the Hempstead Schools must honestly confess that our School Board has been most generous. I I FROM the day Dr. W. Amos Kincaid was appointed superintend- ent of Hempstead schools, he has been untiring and unselfish in the best interests of the students. He has been both a friend and an advisor to the students and faculty of Hempstead High. For a better picture of him, let us turn back the pages of time. After graduating from high school in Crooksville, Ohio, he went on to Ohio University where he received his first college diploma. After earning his Masters Degree and Doctor of Education at Co- lumbia, Dr. Kincaid went to Montpelier where he served as Super- intendent of Schools for eleven years. His next position was in Summit, New Jersey. With such an excellent background of experi- ence, we were very fortunate in securing Dr. Kincaid as the superin- tendent of Hempstead schools. To know him is to admire him. His interest in students and student life has benefited the Hemp- stead schools in many ways. Evidence of these interests is his pride in our band and the expansion of our school program. When he takes time out from school planning, we may find him fishing at Lake Mohawk or playing a game of badminton or bridge. Like many of us, Dr. Kincaid like his steak and roast beef—rare. 12 OFFICES I and IA take care of all the school dis- trict business in matters relating to the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools. This includes all financial matters and bonded indebted- ness of the district and of its one high school and six elementary schools. The various state, federal and bond reports, payrolls, withholding tax, civil serv- ice and retirement records, and the recording, analysis and distribution of the cost of each school are handled through this office. The rental of and repairs to all school buildings and other school properties, and the purchasing of supplies and equipment are conducted by these offices. Matters relating to non-resident students as well as the banking and accounting of the High School Cafe- teria Fund and the sixty or more High School Ac- tivities Accounts are also handled here. Hilda Hardy Margaret Doty Amelia Cave Jeanette Siegmann Edith Schwedes Audrey VanDuzee THIS year marks the thirtieth and last year that Dr. Maure will be our principal. The students who remain after Dr. Maure leaves will miss him very much. But the people who will miss him most are our future students who won t have the opportunity of working under his sympathetic guidance. During his term of office Dr. Maure has become the student s best friend because his main interest is the student body. Dr. Maure has initiated many community activities. He is credited with the beginning of such organizations as the Order of DeMolay in Hempstead; the first school for college-bound veterans in Nassau County; the organization of a group for scout teachers in Nassau County; and was director of the first college work offered in Hemp- stead under the auspices of New York University. This shows clearly that Dr. Maure is not only interested in the school but in the welfare of his community. Dr. Maure has been highly instrumental in building Hempstead High to its present prestige. Because of his interests in the school he has always been receptive to any suggestions for improvement. All we can say is thank you and good luck. We all know that your successor will continue your splendid work. 14 PICTURED below are the young women who also have important tasks in connection with the ef- ficient running of Hempstead High School. Some of them act as secretaries while others perform various and sundry clerical duties. Making appointments, adjusting schedules, bookkeeping and typing are just a few of the many duties these women per- form. Even though the day is long and tiring they are always willing to listen to you and help you in every way they possibly can. They also help to make the day easier for their immediate superiors by intercepting troubled stu- dents whose problems can be solved in a matter of minutes. Any time during the working day you can walk into one of the offices and find these young women going about their day's work with a smile.

BEDDOW Assistant Principal WE take great pleasure in congratulating Mr. Beddow on his new position as principal. We are very happy to have him as our new principal and are sure that the students will show the same fine cooperation as in the past. Despite Mr. Beddow's new responsibilities we hope that they won t inter- fere with his reading and bowling, and his little cabin in the Catskills. Best wishes to you Mr. Beddow. 16 E. Carleton Moore ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS MRS. FOSTER, Dean of Girls, is in office II this year. All the girls are responsible to her for their conduct. Helping Mrs. Foster with her work are the well-trained Junior Secretaries. She takes a great interest in what the girls do and encourages them in every way. Mrs. Foster is also in charge of the teachers' home-room registers. Mr. Pill is now in a new office with a big number five on the door. Besides interviewing all freshmen and their parents he has charge of the entire guidance department. Mr. Pill helps the freshmen to plan their course of study in high school. Miss MacDougall, in charge of sophomores, has a personal interview with all of them. Mrs. Hueston, Registrar, assists the junior and senior college preparatory students. Mr. Turnbull has charge of the upper class commercial and general course students. He helps them plan their subjects around a career. Mrs. Walter, school psychologist, tests and makes recommendations for students sent to her. Mr. E. C. Moore, Director of the Audio-Visual Squad, has his office in 18A. His staff of boys takes care of the movies and sound equipment for the school. This staff is an important part of our pres- ent school system, making teaching easier and more efficient. 17 Top row, left to right: Mary Oman, Margaret Marion, Fred Pillcington Second row: Gertrude Rhodes.

ART AND LITERATURE THIS ambitious art class, studying under the able direction of Miss Marion, will have learned all the basic principles of art and its ap- plication to modern living by the end of the year. They will also have enriched their cultural background through the study of the techniques used by various artists. Both the Freshman and Senior libraries are usually well-filled by industrious students through- out the day. They are supervised by Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Cullen, who see that the libraries are stocked with the best books, magazines and research material. Displays are planned to interest students in reading. make FRIENDS with BOOKS Top row, loft to right: Imogeno Boyle. Kazmier Albinslci. Robert Foster. Eugene Gaydebouroff. Harrison Hodges.

MUSIC AND DRAMATICS THESE violists are but a small section of our Hempstead High School orchestra. Under the excellent leadership of Miss Boyle and the other music teachers, who help in sectional practices, the students have played concerts that have amazed even the professional artists who came to perform with them. Just as radio personalities spend hours in tedious practice to achieve their clear tones, so also do these students in their radio speech class. There, with microphone and tape recorder at their disposal, they record their voices, listen, and then correct their errors. Who knows—per- haps a big network announcer is in the making?

The pupils in this picture seem to be en- joying their French course—here they are increasing their knowledge of the geographical points of interest in France. In all the foreign language classes the culture and history of the people, as well as their language, are studied. A newspaper is used as supple- mentary reading. Various foreign lan- guage clubs have been formed to give students a chance for both enjoyment and further study. Passing through the halls one can hear Latin, Spanish, Ger- man and French issuing from the rooms. A veritable Tower of Babel! MATHEMATICS IN many classrooms, throughout the day, can be found hundreds of stu- dents solving the intricate and difficult problems of mathematics. Most of these students really enjoy the various phases of this work. Here pictured, is one of Mr. Windt's intermediate algebra classes, hard at work study the system of the transit. These diligent and ambitious students will soon find their places in the world. We believe that the learning which they have acquired here at Hempstead High School will enable some of them to as- sume high and important positions. For that reason, they are determined to ex- cel, not only in math, but in all their subjects. Top row, left to right: Robert Hayes. Robert Ayres, Carl Holtz. Second row: Robert Keenan.

COMMERCIAL MOST of the commercial students are planning business careers. The pupils are learning business law, business arithmetic, shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing. The retailing students run the Blue and White Corner, under the direction of Mr. Davidson. These retailing students are also placed in sales positions in some of the leading stores of Hempstead. This gives them not only sales experience but credit toward graduation. Many of the graduates of this department have become business executives and successful sales personnel. ENGLISH HOW many times do you read a paper without really knowing what's in it? In order to avoid just this, Mrs. Noon's senior English class is conducting the inter- esting and thoroughly enjoyable activity of studying newspapers and really discover- ing for the first time what constitutes a good paper. When not busy with extra assignments, these seniors are studying for their coming English Regents. Fop row, left to right: May Barth, Eunice Koch, Mary Church. Muriel Cutter, Lyla Davis.

As freshmen, the eyes and ears of these students are open to many new things. What is it in the minds of these boys and girls which gives them such a desire for new knowledge? The world is an uncut gem for these new members of our school. Top row, left to right: A Franklin Faust, Tord Beck, Daniel Beckett, Margaret Beighley. Center row: Royal Benner.

In this course, the pupils acquire a knowledge of the main events and eras of world history, and discover their relationship to present day events. The whole social science syllabus is correlated to give students a better understanding of world affairs, and a keener insight into the problems of the world.

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL FITNESS ANY sick students around the school go right up and see Miss Best or Mrs. Marsden, our skilled nurses, who will do all they can to make you well again. Many students are indeed grateful to them for their friendly and willing assistance at times when they were in need of aid. Pictured here are only a few of the sports par- ticipated in by the boys and girls in our gym classes. They are given a general background of the various sports, and under the guidance of the gym teachers, develop athletic skill, while keeping physi- cally fit. 26 THESE girls, most of them future housewives of America, are being taught the fundamentals of homemaking. Among the things which they are given an opportunity to learn are: elementary cook- ing, planning a balanced meal, and sewing. A valu- able experience indeed for any girl. The boys in the industrial arts course are given the opportunity to learn by actual experience. The department, centered in the Prospect Street School, includes four shops: auto mechanics, electricity, leather crafts, and metalwork. Courses in radio repair and fundamentals are also offered.

Shybunlco. SENIOR! My how the time has flown. The dictionary defines a senior as older in rank and dignity. The graduating class of 1951 cer- tainly is older in rank and has attained dignity. But let's turn back the pages of time to the year when they were just starting high school. As freshmen, these young beginners found they had to make a place for themselves in Hempstead High. Many of them became lead- ers in sports, art, and music. After a few weeks, they settled down to their studies and really be- gan to enjoy high school. Sophomores! They were progressing up the ladder. To the horror of the students, they found they were expected to take Regents. Being as- sured that Regents was a million dollar work meaning nothing, our eager students settled down to another year of work. They came through the Regents with flying colors, looking forward to the summer vacation. September again. This time they returned as juniors. Feeling that they really belonged, they now began to make useful contributions to school life. This time Regents were looked upon as mere trifles. They had much to do and went about their tasks with happy faces. At last here were our cowering freshmen who, having come through the storms, now found themselves seniors. They had become school lead- ers and were working hard in the various organi- zation. There were many things to be done and so little time in which to do them. Some of them exclaimed, Why, we've only begun.' With Mr. Lints, Miss Rhodes, and Mrs. Dendy, the class ad- visors, and Daniel Shybunko, president; Joan Wil- liamson, vice-president; Jeannette Oliver, secre- tary; and Kenneth Weiss, treasurer; the class of 51 is bound to be one of the best ever. Danny, our future engineer, likes photography. Danny plays in the band, as well as on the golf team. The Omega Gamma Delta Fraternity takes up a lot of his time also. Joan wants to be a secre- tary, after she graduates from Edgewood Park College. Joan is a very busy girl, being a mem- ber of the Tigerettes, Pen and Ink Club, and Principal s Service Squad. Her hobbies, boating and dancing, also help to keep her active. Jean- nette is intent upon becoming a civil service worker. Being a co-captain of the cheerleaders, a Junior Secretary, and a member of the Stu- dent Council keeps her on the go. Kenny is the boy to see when finances are low. Besides being the banker of the senior class, he finds time for the Tupiar Club, Assembly Squad, and the Homeroom Reps. You also may have seen him running around the track or cleaning a rifle. In addition, Kenny devotes much time and interest to his fraternity, Omega Gamma Delta. The members of the class of 51 have con- tributed much to our school during their brief tenure here, by participating in the various sports, activities, and service squads. Although these boys and girls will leave Hempstead in June, we know that they will carry with them many cherished memories. Whether it be to col- lege, the business world, or into some branch ot our armed forces to fight for the freedom which they have learned to hold dear in high school, they will never be forgotten at Hemp- stead. So long—it's been fun having you here. 31 TOP ROW. left to right: Accomando. Ronald. Ronnie' —JV Basketball I. 2; Varsity Softball 3. 4. Ackerman.

ACCELERATED SENIORS LAST January, Dr. Maure called a meeting of a group of college preparatory junior boys. The meeting was prompted by concern for the lives and welfare of our young men. It came at a time when talk of war and drafting of 18-year- olds was prevalent. The boys asked to attend were the ones who would be 18 before they could enter college. That night at the meeting the boys were offered a chance to take an ac- celerated program, which would enable them to graduate this June instead of next. To do this they would have to take additional required courses. For many of the boys it was a hard decision to have to make. If they refused, they were likely to be drafted. If they accepted, they had no assurance that they would be able to succeed in a speeded-up program. In some cases, they would not be able to gain admission to the col- lege they had hoped to attend. The twenty-five students pictured on these two pages decided in favor of acceleration. Spe- cial English IV and Social Studies IV classes were organized and taught by Miss Barth and Mrs. Vincent respectively. These twenty-five students will graduate this June as full-fledged members of the class of 1951. As they go on to higher education and later out into this troubled world, we are sure they will be a real credit to our school and to themselves. hemps + ead high 58 Dessart, Eugene.

THE SENIOR BALL J. Haste, J. Kittell, J. Schweizer. GENTLY the soft, white snowflakes drifted down to earth, the morning of the senior ball. By nightfall, it was truly A Winter Won- derland,'' indoors and out. Through the doors and into a magic fairyland, glided the members of the senior class and their dates, for an eve- ning of dancing and gay entertainment. Giant, glittering snowflakes drifted along the curtains around the room, while in among them skated numbers of gay figures. Large clumps of dazzling evergreen trees were arranged here and there on the curtains. Down from the ceiling shone blue lights, which put a cold and wintery appearance over everything. It was unbelievable, but true. This was our own familiar boys' gym, many degrees changed from its ordinary every- day appearance. Magic had been worked over- night. These decorations were effected under the able leadership of Cleo Harbolis, aided by her helpful snow-imp members of the senior class. The entire idea was designed by the seniors, with Mrs. Oman, Miss Marion, and Mr. Pilking- ton there to advise them. The room swelled to the strains of music by Victor, who was engaged by the head of the music committee, Joan Wil- liamson. Chaperoning this gala affair were the senior class advisors: Mr. Lints, Miss Rhodes, and Mrs. Dendy. Toward the middle of the evening, the music ceased and a crowd gathered about the orches- tra. The moment had come to crown the king and queen of the senior ball. As the number was called, all the dancers looked hopefully at their cards. The king and queen of the 1951 senior ball were our football captain, Dick Martin and his date, Ruth Rudiger. Congratulations and good wishes were extended as the rulers began their short-lived reign. Too soon this long-awaited evening drew to a close. And as you, the seniors of 1951 leave the halls of Hempstead High School to go on to bigger and better things, may you always carry with you a warm memory of the pleasant eve- ning you spent at The Winter Wonderland created for you as a very special occasion—the senior ball. 60 SENIOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ON the first Tuesday of each month, we find Room 76 buzzing with the ambitious girls and boys of the Senior Executive Council. At the head of these members are the senior class of- ficers: Daniel Shybunko, president; Joan William- son. vice-president: Jeannette Oliver, secretary; and Kenneth Weiss, treasurer. Mr. Lints is their advisor. lied. The teachers have been gracious in giving the representative time to make any necessary reports. The elected representatives discuss such things as the senior ball, the class colors, the class flower, and the place where the graduation exer- cises are to be held. The colors which the class has decided upon are forest green and silver; Left to right. Row I: Mr. Lints, J. Oliver, J. Williemson, S. Seymour, A. Scott, C. Harbolis, J. Rey- nolds, P. Vile, M.

Despite the fact that this organization has been in existence only four years, it has made con- siderable progress. Each senior history class has appointed a representative to this council. At the meetings, problems pertaining to the senior class are discussed. The representative from each history class then returns and informs his class- mates of the meeting. If there is any voting to be done, the class votes and the results are tal- the class flower is the white rose. Among the most important things discussed are the class dues and the class gift to the school. The senior class has decided upon one dollar for class dues. This income is used largely to carry on the tradi- tion of a senior class gift to the school. The Senior Executive Council has become a very important organization in our school and will continue to be so for many years. 61 JUNIOR OFFICERS Left to right: T. Britt, B. Sharkey. E. Spesak. A. Szeglin. JUNIOR CLASS SURROUNDED by a world of unrest, the class of 52 is absorbing as much knowledge as possible with the purpose of better under- standing the world situation. It realizes the uni- verse is in dire need of capable leaders, and as interested youth, its members are pushing for- ward to fill these positions. For the future male graduates compulsory military training is an ac- cepted fact. To avoid too great a shortening of their planned education, the school has in- stituted the accelerated courses for the boys of 52. Graduating a year in advance will enable them to secure one year or more of college training before entering the armed forces. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is a saying familiar to all of us, so, despite the troubled conditions in the world, the juniors are 62 balancing the scales with social activities that will highlight their school days. As president of their class, the juniors elected Byron Sharkey. By ' is an active member of many of our clubs and is interested in sports. Evidence of his scholastic ability is shown in his being a member of Pentagon, the junior-senior boys' honor club. Popular Artie Szeglin was chosen to assist By as vice-president. Artie is a member of the football team and is interested in all forms of sport. After graduating from Hempstead High, Artie plans to study engineer- ing at Cornell. He, too, is an honor student who shows great promise for the future. The class of 52 seemingly had great confidence in the abili- ties of their male classmates, for another boy, Tommy Britt, was elected secretary of the class. Like the other officers of his class, Tommy is an intense sports enthusiast. The responsibility of money-handling was given to Evelyn Spesak. She is a member of the choir and a Pen and Ink girl. Evelyn hopes to attend college. The junior class has been honored by being given the privilege of receiving its senior rings at the close of this semester, rather than having to wait until the senior year. This will be the first time the privilege has been extended to juniors. JUNIOR ADVISORS Miss Abbott, Miss Taft. Mr. Zara. Miss Dorwin. The capable advisors of the junior class are Miss Taft, Miss Abbott, Miss Dorwin and Mr. Zara. The close of the year, climaxed by the annual junior prom, is certainly an event looked forward to by our junior class with eager anticipation. ADVISERS—Left to right: Miss Tripp. Mrs. Greonlund. Mr. McGregor, Miss Ignelzi. SOPHOMORE CLASS WITH their freshman year behind them, the sophomores emerged self-confidently on a more equal basis with the upperclassmen. Hav- ing been taunted and duped into believing the many mythical existences of means of transporta- tion and school requirements, the class of 53 is richer in the knowledge that a sense of humor is requisite in Hempstead High. An amiable and intelligent leader, chosen to be president of the sophomore class was found in Robert Bannister. His capabilities were shown in having attained the highest average of the group. Musically inclined, Bob joined the high school band and orchestra. In the future, he will apply for admission to Princeton University. To assist the president, John Andrews was elected vice-president. Being interested in sports, not only as a spectator, John is an active player on our J. V. Football team. He is also a member of the Junto Club, which is our sophomore boys' honor club. After graduating from Hempstead The officers, wisely chosen, exemplify the wide range of interests and the versatility of the sophomore class. Some of the members have shown great promise in dramatics. The presenta- tion of their yearly play The Seven Sisters' was convincing proof of this statement. The cast was made up of only sophomores and the entire class worked hard to sell tickets and make the play a huge success. In the spring the annual sophomore party was held. It was a memorable occasion for the class, with dancing, entertainment and refreshments. The sophomore class has as its adivsor Mrs. Greenlund. She was assisted by Miss Tripp, Miss Ignelzi and Mr. McGregor. High, he plans to attend Holy Cross. Caroline Nelson is the secretary of her class and an active member of many clubs. Like many of us, Carol is interested in nearly all sports. She is planning to become a commercial buyer and hopes to enter Adelphi College. The handling of class finances is done by Robert Dowler, treasurer. He is a member of the Rifle Club and his fondness for sports is amply satisfied by his participation in track and cross-country. Farmingdale is included in Bob's future plans. OFFICERS—Left to right: J. Andrews, C. Nelson. R. Bannister. R. Dowler. FRESHMAN CLASS PERHAPS one of the most interesting classes in the Cursus Honorum of any high school is the freshman class. Fresh from grammar school, they begin a new life upon entering high school. They find that the students they see in the halls are not familiar to them. But that doesn't stop them. Their curiosity becomes aroused and they learn that they can join the various clubs and organizations, as well as participate in sports. Like all students, they wonder what their teachers will be like and what their pet peeves are, whether someone will tell them to take a subway to the bandbox or an elevator to the fifth floor. To the upper class- men them days are gone forever of giving freshmen wrong directions. One of the most interesting days of the year for the freshmen girls is Senior-Frosh Day. Dur- ing this day the maternal instinct of the senior girls and the childish grins of the freshmen girls invade the halls, providing an enjoyable time for all. The freshman class started off their first year by choosing Robert Marino as president. Bob, who wants to be a lawyer, has not decided where 66 he would like to attend college. Roller skating and horseback riding are found to hold Bob’s interests. As vice-president a capable girl named Sandra Patterson was chosen. Marriage and fash- ion designing are what Sandra hopes her crystal ball holds for her. Besides being a member of the Honor, Dramatics and Sketch Clubs, Sandy finds time for hockey and softball. Terrance Cal- lahan was chosen as secretary. As yet Terry is undecided about his choice of college. He likes sports but because of an injury incurred while playing football, he is unable to participate. Norma Ashe was entrusted with the finances of the class by being chosen as treasurer. Norma would like some day to become a doctor. With the orchestra, Dramatics Club, and basketball, Norma finds little time for herself, but when she finds a spare moment, it is spent working on her collections of stamps and drawings. We feel sure that the graduating class of 1954 will have fun, despite the fact that they are only at the beginning of a long and difficult road. There are many good times for them to look forward to. They are a grand class and deserve the best of everything. Good luck, freshmen! ADVISORS—Loft to right: Miss Joyce, Miss Farrior. Student Government Publications Service Organizations Clubs Music Dramatics Honor Societies ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL MEET Hempstead's Student Council, a high- ly respected group. Carrying on its ac- tivities with great efficiency, it enjoys the esteem of the students. In order to be a member, one must be a leader of a club or organization, cap- tain of a team, or a class officer. These busy solons meet the second and fourth Monday of every month. The officers are: presi- dent, Dick Oman; vice-president, Joanne Kittell; secretary, Pat Moore: treasurer, Jeannette Oli- ver; and parliamentarian, Fran Wood, the fac- ulty advisors are Mr. McGregor and Miss Foster. The council is in charge of all school activities. This year some of its activities included the school-wide March of Dimes campaign; backing the shamrock dance, in conjunction with the cheerleaders, and Varsity Club; giving a tea for the new teachers; participating in the affairs of the Nassau League of Student Councils. The Student Council also sent representatives to the student forum held in New York City. Its most successful event was the toy lift dance for Berlin s needy children. The admission was a toy or three bars of soap. This was one of the most outstanding afternoon dances ever held here, with over 700 students cramming them- selves into the boys' gym. The experience gained as a council member is a valuable lesson in democracy and good citizenship. Left to right. Row I: G .Clerk, J. Martz. B. Brooks. G. Moore, S. Wilson, F. Wood. J. Kittell R.

During the rest of the term, the home room rep aids his classmates in obtaining their G. O. tickets, col- lects donations, and carries out many other im- portant duties. The staff members also go to meetings where they plan parties and are as- signed new duties. At one of these meetings, the members selected Ronnie MacLeod as president, Janet Reynolds, vice-president; Pat Leckie, sec- retary, and Alvin Fritz, treasurer. Mr. Windt and Mr. Beckett are their advisors. Of their various duties, the management of the G. O. ticket is by far the most important. This ticket entitles the student to reduced rates on almost all student activities, and free admis- sion to home games in all sports. There are quite a few necessary duties involved in the purchase of this ticket, a good many of which must be completed by the home room rep or his alter- nate. The purchaser's name must be recorded, the accurate amount stated, and the correct ticket given him. It is through the home room representatives that the students are given a chance to express their opinions on school affairs to the Student Council and are thereby given representation in student government. We are exceedingly proud of the fine work these reps are doing. 71 Left to right. Row I: L. Deming, J. Olsen, M. Schaedel, H. Sormani, J. Robin, C. Pashley, P. Lynch. M. Phillips. Row II: T.

With the 1951 Colonial completed and ready for publication, we can go behind the scenes and meet the proud juniors who have worked so hard in making this year's edition possible. Each staff member has devoted much time and effort in making this year's Colonial one of the finest in Hempstead's history. If you had peeked into Room 23 any afternoon during the ninth period, you might have seen these energetic students hard at work on their various assignments. The click of a typewriter, the rustle of paper, and voices murmuring to- gether would fill the room with a busy atmos- phere. Why, you would have exclaimed, they look as if they are actually enjoying their work! And you would have been right. Working on the Colonial is not an easy job but it is a very COLONIAL EDITORS Left to right, Row I: R. Lutz, T. Efthimion, J. Olsen, C. Heinzerling, L. Bobrow, T. Beroza. A. Gore, G. Moore. Row II: C. O'Brien, M. Schaedel, H. Mailer, G. Buck. pleasant one. Until you have participated in the work of one of the staffs, you cannot realize just how much time and effort is put into creating a yearbook. But the members find great enjoyment in accomplishing this task. It is fun to watch the Colonial grow, page by page, and gratifying to know that it is your effort which is in part re- sponsible for this growth. That is why, year after year, the junior class succeeds in turning out such fine yearbooks. But now let us meet the members themselves. Filling the position of editor-in-chief was Dick Lutz. He was assisted by several editors: George Buck, Clubs; Tessie Efthimion, Photography; Harold Mailer, Sports; Marguerite Schaedel, Seniors; Carole O'Brien, Activities; and Jeannine Olsen, Faculty. Mr. Ayres and Mr. Menza, the advisors, did a wonderful job of keeping every- thing running smoothly. The staff members, work- ing on their assignments, kept a steady stream of articles flowing in. These write-ups were then handed to our typists, Shirley McNabb, Carol Lupski, and Dolores Thurston, who made sure that they were neatly typed and correctly spaced. The business staff, headed by business manager Catherine Heinzerling did a fine job in the metic- ulous handling of financial affairs and the solicit- ing of advertisements. Filling other positions were: Toby Beroza, circulation manager; Ann Gore, assistant circulation manager; and Lee Bobrow, advertising manager. The staff was capably directed by Mr. Davidson, the advisor. Certainly, no Colonial would be complete without the wonderful cartoons and drawings done by the art staff. Mrs. Oman directed the members, who'worked so enthusiastically in turn- ing out the illustrations in this year's Colonial. Art editor Gail Moore and the members of her staff are to be congratulated on the fine job they have done. A trip to New York to see a Broadway show will provide a grand finale to the many months of hard work spent in the preparation of the 1951 Colonial. The staff members have enjoyed producing the book and hope that you are get- ting some pleasure from reading it. ADVISORS Left to right: Mr. Menza, Mrs. Oman, Mr, Ayres, Mr. Davidson.

THE PATRIOT EVERY other Monday is a special day at Hempstead High, for that is when the school newspaper, the Patriot, comes out. Freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors alike enjoy read- ing the interesting articles which make up a fine publication. Although the Patriot is entirely a student-run organization, the professional-like photographs which appear in each issue can compare favorably with those in a competitive city newspaper. A member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the Patriot has been praised time and time again for its original articles, fine or- ganization, and legible type. Variety is a policy of the paper and both students and teachers enjoy the many jokes, cartoons, and puzzles in addition to the news features. Students find that reading the Patriot is the best way to catch up on all school events, for it is always up to date on the latest news. Ever since it was established in 1917, the paper has continued to be held in high esteem by every student and faculty mem- ber. Read it in the Patriot! has become a familiar cry at Hempstead. On March 8, 9, and 10, the members of the Patriot staff attended a convention of the Co- lumbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia PATRIOT ADVISORS—Loft to right: Mr. Tree.

The students listened with great in- terest as many fine lectures were given on jour- nalism by outstanding writers in the newspaper field. Afterward, the Patriot members were pres- ent at a banquet held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Our would-be journal- ists returned home eager and enthusiastic over what they had learned, and they resolved to apply this knowledge in their future writings. The Patriot contains many enjoyable columns of interest to everyone. There is a fashion column for the girls, always up on the latest styles, an interview each issue which features two of the most outstanding personalities in Hempstead, and, of course, the Sports section, which brings you up to date on what Hempstead has been doing in the field of athletics. Two new features have also been added this year, File 13, which contains the latest gossip around H. H. S., and Shel-Shocked, featuring the ever-popular jokes. The Patriot always has very fine write-ups on the doing of our famous Music Department, on dra- matics, and on all phases of school life. To top it all off, there are, of course, the many excellent photographs which have become an outstanding feature of this publication. Most amazing of all about the Patriot, however, is the extremely low price at which it is sold. Students holding G. O.'s receive their copy free, and non-G. O. students can purchase the Patriot for only five cents. This year, the Patriot was headed by Fran Wood, Editor-in-Chief, and Margie Janvey, Managing Editor. Morris Rosen held the position of Copy Editor, Doris Muller was Headline Edi- tor, and Jack West capably handled the Sports Division. The Business Staff was under the direc- tion of Business Manager Pat Moore, and Leo- nora Smith filled the position of Circulation Man- ager. To these hard-working students and the other important members of the staff, we extend our thanks for making the 1951 Patriot such a success. PATRIOT STAFF Lett to right. Row I: L. Smith, J.

These girls represent the Senior Service Squad, a staff organized to assist Mrs. Hueston during each period of the day. Do not confuse the staff members with the secre- taries who make appointments, and answer the telephone. The Senior Service Squad performs the tasks of alphabetizing and filing schedules, and run- ning errands. As is the custom with many of the service squads, each girl on the staff spends at least one period a day in the office, and is re- quired to serve two weeks' late duty during the year. Mrs. Hueston, the staff's advisor, selects the girls she believes qualify to serve on the squad. This year, the important jobs of chief and assist- ant chief were well taken care of by Stephanie Wilson and Mary Palmer, respectively. Up until this year, the Senior Service Squad carried on its work in Office Two, in which the Registrars department formerly functioned. Now, since the offices have been changed around, this squad carries on its work in Office Four. This squad of some thirty girls is an indispensa- ble part of our school, and we extend many thanks to the girls who make it so. We are proud, indeed, of the splendid performance of the Senior Service Squad girls, who play such an important part in keeping Office Four running smoothly. Left to right. Row I: N. Saure. M.

JUNIOR SECRETARIES TO say that Hempstead High is exceedingly proud of its Junior Secretaries would not be an exaggeration. These girls have proven a valu- ble asset to our school ever since their organiza- tion back in 1934. Chosen by Mrs. Foster, their competent ad- visor, for their dependability, personality, schol- arship and efficiency, the Junior Secretaries carry out many duties. Among these are typing, filing schedules, telephoning absentees, running er- rands, and filling out late slips. In addition, they also act as aids to Mr. Beddow and his assistants. Each girl spends one period a day in Office Two, and is expected to stay for late duty two weeks a year. In performing these duties, the girls become acquainted with office procedure, learn how to be efficient in the various tasks of a secretary, and acquire experience in serving people pleasantly and promptly. This year, the Junior Secretaries have had more members than ever before. The girls, sev- enty in number, have elected the following offi- cers: Katherine Gay, chief: Dolores Thurston, as- sistant chief; Helen Sormani, secretary; Mar- guerite Schaedel, treasurer. The group partici- pated in a theater party, in addition to other social activities. It is recognized that the Junior Secretaries are essential to Hempstead High, and that this is an organization which we could not easily do without. Loft to right: Row I. B. Guerre, E. Maxaner, N.

They are a service group, or- ganized to assist the busy grade advisors. The boys call all freshmen and new students for their interviews, while the clerical work, such as filing records, and making sure everyone has an ap- pointment, falls to the girls. At present, there are twenty-four members on the staff, eight of whom are boys. A good choice was made when Marilyn Jones was elected chief and Cariotta Paetow treasurer. Because all grades must be filed and all fresh- men have to be interviewed, the Advisor Aides must be extremely accurate in everything they do. Just one mistake can put the whole smooth- running system out of order. Members of the staff are chosen on the basis of their responsi- bility, alertness, helpfulness, and good character. In doing this work, the members of the staff be- come acquainted with clerical work, and some- times decide to continue in this field. This year a theater party was given, in addi- tion to the annual party which is always held at the end of the term. With Miss Silver as their chief advisor, the members of the organization have been of tremendous service to Hempstead High School. Our hats are off to the boys and girls who do such a good job in Room 80! 78 COUNSELOR'S SERVICE SQUAD TO the long list of squads serving the offices of Hempstead High School is now added the Counselor's Service Squad. Nineteen junior and senior girls aid the guidance workers in office four by doing filing, typing, and running errands. Another of their many important tasks is the making of appointments so that Miss MacDoug- all, their advisor, may see all sophomores during the busy school year. These girls also assist Mr. Turnbull and when the office is especially busy, they cooperate with the Senior Service Squad in assisting Mrs. Hueston, the Registrar. In car- rying out these various duties, the girls become well acquainted with office procedure, and learn how to assist people promptly and efficiently. It is especially beneficial to those students who are planning a secretarial career after they are graduated from high school, and is equally help- ful to those continuing on to college. Composed of girls chosen for scholarship, atti- tude and personality, this squad promises to be- come one of the leading and most important organizations of the school. No offices are held, but Gail Moore is the representative to the Stu- dent Council. We of Hempstead High School are proud to welcome the Counselor's Service Squad, during its first year of organization, to the service groups of the school. We are certain that this squad will prove to be a great asset to our school in years to come. Left to right Row I: A. Vislay, J. Losee, P. Leckie, J. Meza, F. Goldberg, J. Perry, B. Lyon, A.

They take it for granted that entering the auditorium, being properly seated, and returning to their classes has always been done in just as orderly a fashion as is done today. What they are un- aware of is the progress that has been made by this group ever since its organization by Mr. Paul Schem many years ago. Membership in the Assembly Squad is open only to juniors and seniors. They must be recom- mended either by the faculty, or by a member of the Assembly Squad. Being a member is an honor which carries real responsibility with it. Once a member, the boys undertake the fol- lowing jobs: preparing schedules of rooms to be invited and issuing invitations, guarding the posts along the halls and on the staircases to keep the classes moving steadily and finally seating the classes properly upon their arrival in the audi- torium. You can see by the orderly manner in which pupils go and return from assembly programs that the boys are carrying out their responsibili- ties to perfection. If there is one man who has made all this pos- sible, it is Mr. Franz. Through his efforts the Assembly Squad has gained the respect that it enjoys today in Hempstead High School. Left to right.

The girls who compose the staff are recom- mended by their teachers. They are supervised by Miss Rhodes and therefore are adept at their work. One of the purposes of this activity is to determine whether the girls would like to con- tinue in this field, and become librarians. As a result of this experience, a good number of girls have gone on to schools of library science. No regular meetings are held, but the mem- bers go on picnics, hold parties, and attend the theater. Recently, several schools, including Hempstead High, formed a Library Congress to discuss and exchange ideas. A meeting, held annually, is attended by representative members from each school. This year that staff met at Sewanhaka High School. The specific duties of the Library Staff are to give out and accept library books, make out and deliver calls for overdue books, take the library attendance slips around to the study halls and file cards for books that have not yet been re- turned. In addition, the staff places the books alphabetically on the shelves. The girls give up one of their study halls five days a week to help in this work. We appreciate the efforts of the librarians and their staff of girls. 81 Left to right. Row I: J. Martz, L. Horsfield. Miss Marion, J. Spahn, S. Keller. Row II: D. Heft, R. Noddrie, A. Schmidt, D.

BRUSH AND EASEL CLUB I I F you are a freshman or sophomore, if you like | any phase of art, and if you enjoy the atmos- phere of a friendly group of workers, the Brush and Easel Club is just what you have been look- ing for. Early in the year, the club designed Christmas cards. At subsequent meetings, each member planned his own art work. Some, inter- ested in fashions, worked on designs and draw- ings pertaining to fashion. The officers included Joan Spahn, president; Susan Keller, vice-presi- dent; Janet Mantz, treasurer; and Lynn Hors- field, secretary. The creative direction of Miss Marion adds greatly to the club's success. SKETCH CLUB THE SKetch Club, consisting of upperclassmen interested in art, has again had a full and attractive program. Under the guidance of Mrs. Oman, the group spent many hours designing and building outdoor Christmas displays. De- signs included stained glass windows and choral singers. The club's major project this year was the making of plates from copper disks. While await- ing the arrival of the disks, the members planned the etchings they would use on them. Working with water colors was as popular with this year's group as it has been in the past. HALL PATROL “THROUGHOUT all ten periods of the day you I will find the members of the Hall Patrol, sta- tioned at definite hall posts, doing their best to maintain law and order. You can see for yourself by the appearance of the halls that the boys are doing a splendid job. The Hall Patrol boys, Hall Cops,'1 are chosen from study halls. They must have a good school record and must be doing reasonably well in their studies. Each period there is a teacher on each floor. At the beginning of the year, the teacher selects the Hall Cops for his floor. From these, the boys then elect a lieutenant, whose duties are to take care of attendance, to replace absentees on his beat and to supervise generally. Here are but a few of the duties of Hall Cops: keeping the halls quiet while classes are in ses- sion, maintaining discipline during the changing of classes, seeing that halls present a respectable appearance, and checking hall passes. Mr. Fish and Miss Layton, who are the ad- visors of the Hall Patrol, are two of the people who aid in making this group an efficient one. It is their guidance that makes it one of the most important service organizations of our school. Left to right. Row I: D. Eagen. J. Maraglio, J. Scully. J. Groonell, J. Drost, B. Wilson, P.

This year the club mem- bers prepared and served several luncheons in- cluding one for Dr. Kincaid. The Nassau County Home Economics Association tea and the social studies tea were successfully carried out by the girls in the club. At Christmas time they made pine cone turkeys and gum drop dolls to be used THE four young men who carry the grand old stars and stripes down the aisle of the Hempstead High School auditorium are the color guard. They are also the officers of the Assem- bly Squad and are from time to time respon- sible for the opening ceremonies at assemblies. One of the boys, usually either Joe Schaedel or Joe Ryan, leads in the flag salute and the sing- ing of the Star Spangled Banner. This group Front to rear: Miss Taft. A. Vislay, H. Langlois, L.

These activities are under the friendly supervision of Miss Taft. comes under the direction of Mr. Franz. Origi- nally, the color guard boys served in the opening ceremonies at all assemblies, but this feature, un- fortunately, has very often had to be left out, in order to allow more time for the rest of the pro- gram. This more formal opening ceremony is now reserved for special occasions. CAFE-ETTES STAMP CLUB I F you eat in the cafeteria fifth, sixth, or sev I enth period, you have, no doubt, already be come familiar with the Cafe-ettes. Each lunch period, a few of the members are at their as- signed posts, making sure that law and order is maintained. One of the newest organizations in Hempstead High, the Cafe-ettes are composed of eleven girls, headed by Chairman Pat McCormic and LED by Charles Curtiss, president; Kenneth Smith, vice-president-secretary, and Albert Elsback, treasurer, this organization has become popular among Hempstead's stamp collectors. It meets to trade or, as they say, ''swap stamps. The club meets under the guidance of Mr. Holtz who, himself, has an extensive collection. Travelling to the Hempstead Armory this year, some of the members viewed the Naspex stamp : A. Eisbach, G. Diehl, A. Surini, K. Holtz, C. Curtis, R. Smith, T. Blaire. Left to right. Row I: J.

But the most important objective of this club is to interest students in becoming teachers. This year the Future Teachers of America is divided into two groups. There is the Peter Cooper Club which is composed of juniors and seniors, which was founded in 1950. The newly organized Horace Mann Club comprises freshmen and sopho- mores. Meetings of the junior-senior club are held the first and third Tuesdays of the month during the ninth period. Freshmen and sophomores meet monthly on the last Tuesday. Dues are paid by the collecting of five cents at each meeting from the members who attend. In April the club presented a film The Count of Monte Cristo to obtain funds for its activities. Having its own constitution, the club is well organized at all times. It is directed by Mrs. Greenlund, the advisor, and activities are taken care of by committees FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA CLUB provided for under the constitution. This club's rapid growth during the past year resulted in the formation of the two separate clubs. Presiding over the junior-senior club this year is president Gilbert Braun; Cynthia Hill fills the office of secretary and the funds are taken care of by Angela Cavuota. The freshman-sophomore club is led by its president, Gail Reimer. Gloria Wheeling, secretary and Janet Lowe, treasurer are the other officers. Members of this up and coming club are advised as to the variety of courses that will be most profitable in college to prepare them for the teaching profession. For further first-hand information about teaching conditions, the members have become acquainted with school operations in general by visiting and observing nearby grade schools in session. Having decided to make teaching his vocation, each member of this ambitious group of students is preparing for his future work while there is still plenty of time. Without a doubt, some of these students will help form the faculty of this school some time in the future and we wish to express our hopes for the success of this noble venture. 87 RIFLE CLUB ANY afternoon that you are lucky enough to find your way to the rifle range through the maze in our school's basement, you will ob- serve practicing there, the many sharpshooting members of the Rifle Club. Some of the best marksmen are candidates for interscholastic com- petition on our perennial-championship rifle team, which is a direct outgrowth of this club. This year the ever-popular club is enjoying one of its largest enrollments ever. With 183 members, it hopes to turn out many fine marks- men to keep our rifle team's record just as im- pressive in the future as it has been in the past. A new phase, begun last fall, is a practice session for freshmen and sophomores held the first two periods in the morning under the super- vision of Mr. Wickham. Presiding over the meetings was president Dick Oman. In his absence Ed Clark took over. Sandra Seymour filled the position of secretary- treasurer. Carefully instructing and seeking to improve the eager marksmen were the club’s advisors, Mr. Voorhies and Mr. Wickham. Recently repainted a bright color by the club's members, the range's lighting facilities have been vastly improved. Complete with loose dirt floor- ing, supplying protection against recoil, the range is in much better condition than in previous years. Left to right. Row I: R. Geberth, W. Warren, W. Thoms, K.

This club deals with advanced math of all types and provides excellent training for those students interested in engineering or the sciences connected with mathematics. When any questions on math arise within the club, the advisors, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Lacombe, pitch in and settle them quickly and deftly. The club is grateful to these men for their arranging of lectures to the club on advanced work. Two of these were given by Mr. Windt and another by a professor from Hofstra College. Mr. Windt first spoke on the surveyor's transit. He explained and demonstrated the functions of this technical instrument. Professor Hawthorne of Hofstra showed the method of making geometric models, which are used extensively in higher math. Mr. Windt's second lecture was especially interesting to the group, for it delved into the mysteries of the fourth dimension. This year the annual Christmas party was held as usual. It proved most successful, with the club members arranging their own program, in- cluding entertainment, and of course refresh- ments. Popular vote for president was received by Dick Oman. The vice-president is Rod Lewin, secretary George Matthews, and treasurer By Sharkey. Let to right. Row I: B. Simpson, P. Cahill, S. Wilson, M. Schaedel, F. Wood, J. Olson, M. Chini, G. Moore, H.

The Natural Science Club, un- der the guidance of Mr. Lind, tries to explore the world of nature by movies, informative lec- tures, and informal discussions. To delve into the realms of science, the mem- bers took a trip to the Hayden Planetarium and other parts of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In addition they took a trip in the spring to the Bronx Zoo and went on biological expeditions to various parts of Long Island. To keep the meetings running smoothly, the club elected as president David Distler. In the event he cannot attend, John Murtha, the vice- president substitutes. The minutes are taken by Gerald Nolan, secretary, and the bank book is kept in order by Martin Sklaire, treasurer. HANDICRAFT CLUB DID you notice all the attractive hand-made accessories that the girls of the Handicraft Club were so proudly wearing this year? Led by their chairmen, Ruth Southart and Clara Cistola, these skilled girls met every Monday during the ninth and tenth periods. Under the able guidance of Miss Marion Bennett, the members created all varieties of handwork, which included knitting, crocheting, weaving, embroidery, belt knitting, and leather work. This club is not limited to any particular year in high school and one can enroll at any time during the year. At each meeting, the members choose an article to make and usually work on it until completed. Being a member of this club and participating in its activities is beneficial in several ways. The girls are able to derive pleasure from creating articles of use and prepare to be future homemakers. 90 HEALTH SERVICE SQUAD UNDER the careful supervision of Miss Best and Mrs. Marsden, the members of the Health Service Squad have been very helpful to our students. First aid, filing records, and gen- eral care of the sick are taught to girls interested in this type of work. The sixteen girls are divided into two groups, with Miss Best as the head of one, and Mrs. Marsden the supervisor of the other. Sue Natalie and Nancy Kowall are the representatives. The members of the squad may be chosen from the Pre-Nursing Club or upon showing an interest in the kind of work performed by the organization. Junior and senior girls are pre- ferred because of their broader knowledge of the school. The members are kept busy filing records, running errands and assisting the nurses in various ways. Established in 1935, the Health Service Squad has become an important aid to the work of the health office. WRITERS CLUB MEET the enthusiastic members of the Writ- ers Club, composed of Lester Schulman, Marvin Fricklas, Carole O Brien and Ursula Leonard. The membership this year has been sharply curtailed because of a writers' class formed for the benefit of seniors, thus cutting down the club by some ten people. A manuscript a week is prepared by each member, who presents it to his fellow writers for discussion pro and con. Attending a meeting, you would find that not only do they entertain constructive criticism of their own work but that they discuss other writers' material also. Recently, Carole O Brien wrote a prize-win- ning short story accepted by Senior Prom.” Besides receiving a fifteen dollar award, she was asked to appear on a television program. Who knows but that some day writers like Carole and the other members might become editors or prize-winning authors? Loft to right. Seated: N. Ko- wall. Mrs. Marsden, Miss Best, S. Natale.

HEMPSTEAD HIGH is certainly proud of its orchestra, which under the direction of Miss Boyle, has become exceptionally well known. It is lauded by music groups all over the country. The students have won great praise and have been compared with professional musicians by many outstanding people in the music world. Our orchestra had many engagements each year. This year a concert at Carnegie Hall was in- cluded. This was the first time a high school orchestra appeared there in the history of the Hall. Our orchestra participated in the Spring Music Festival at Hofstra College, under their guest conductor, Leon Barzin. Concerts were given in our own auditorium before Christmas, and in February. This year, the orchestra was honored with an invitation to play at Syracuse by the National Musicians League. Hempstead students also enjoyed the talents of the orchestra at the fine assembly programs. As guest artists this year, the orchestra was privileged to have Shephard Colemen, Avron Coleman (cellists), Sarah Dillon (narrator), Milton Forstat (conductor), William Nowinski (violinist), George Morgulis (violinist), Robert Goss (narra- tor-barintone), and Katherine Molter (harpist). 93 SOPRANOS S.

That's the Hempstead High School A Capella Choir you hear vocalizing and practicing as you pass the Band-box during the fifth period. These enthusiastic singers work hard toward achieving the perfection which we have come to expect of them at their concerts. Under Miss McQueen's able direction, this group has flourished and become the beautiful choir that it is. All types of music are sung with equal skill and dexterity by these versatile students. They joined with the band and orchestra in giving the concert before Christmas and in presenting another in February. As guest artists this year, they had Milton Forstat as their conductor and Robert Goss, narrator-baritone. At Christmas and Easter, the choir sang at the Calderone Theater, and also sang on the radio over WHLI in March. They gave a special program at Kennedy Memorial Park in the be- ginning of May, and sang a few numbers at the Hempstead Golf Club for local civic groups. The choir spread cheer with its harmony among the aged at the old people's home. On the day before Christmas vacation, the choir can be heard singing favorite old carols, as its members walk through the halls of Hempstead High. Congratulations to Miss McQueen, whose magic touch has made the choir a fine part of our superb music program. 95 THE BAND THERE is nothing like the snappy music of a band to arouse school spirit. The lively music warms the spectators on a cold football day. It makes a person's heart beat in time with the big bass drum. The marching band made a great showing this year, with its numerous intricate formations and spirited music. Its performances during the pre-game and half-time shows were a feature at the football games. Because of the high quality of these band shows, the entire organization was twice invited to the Polo Grounds in New York City, where it presented sparkling performances. The marching band participated in the Memorial Day parade. After the football season, the musicians con- centrate on more classical numbers, for which they spend many hours rehearsing. It is apparent that the fine results are more than worth the hours of preparation. This year, the band also displayed its talents at the Calderone Theater during the Christmas season, and at the Hemp- stead Golf Club, for local civic groups. Among their guests this year were Milton Forstat, con- ductor at the March concert, and Edmund Franco Goldman at the Spring Festival of Music at Hofstra College. The Hempstead High School Band is superb in many ways, and has received acknowledge- ment and encouragement from many well known musicians. The music teachers, Miss Boyle and Mr. Albinski, deserve much credit for their work in making our band so exceptional. FLUTES M. Palmer P. Nathan R. Kincaid B. Hamilton J. Cohen P. Rennebaum G.

Matthew 96 PALLAS CLUB THESE sophomore girls who participate in the activities of the Pallas Club must maintain an average of ninety percent or above in all their subjects. It is the aim of this club to strive for the ideals of service, leadership, scholarship, and friendship. One important service rendered by the club to the rest of the school was the ushering of parents around the building on Parents' night in November. The club annually presents an award for schol- arship to the sophomore girl with the highest average for the year. Margaret Moore, now a junior, received this award. Money for this prize was raised by selling programs at the home foot- ball games. Special programs were presented to give the girls a better background for further study. The showing of educational movies, a trip to the United Nations, and a talk by Miss MacDougall were some of the programs presented. It has become a tradition of the club to give a party for the freshman honor club, the Pio- neers. This year's party provided a pleasant interlude from school work for all concerned. Leading the girls in all their activities is their president, Valerie Vaughan. Other officers elected were Suzanne Krim, vice-president; Carol Christ, secretary; and Suzanne Thomas, treasurer. Miss Gunnerson, the advisor of the club, helps the girls with any problems or difficulties which may arise during the course of the year. Lett to right. Row I: S. Gundrey. B. Guarnieri. L. Levine, C.

The aim of the club is to widen the cultural background of these boys. At their first meeting the brains chose their officers. Bruce Corrie was elected president, while John Andrews was chosen vice-president. Kenneth Outwater received the post of secre- tary, and the job of keeping the books was handed out to Philip Efthimion. With the election over, the boys decided they should hold two Friday meetings a month. At one of these early meetings, they saw a film on Europe. Other programs dealing with paint- ing, architecture, and music were held. Many of the members of the club are working toward a goal, namely, the five-dollar prize which the Junto Club gives to the sophomore boy having the highest average for the year. Last year's winner was Hank Mailer. Breaking away from their books, and getting into the spirit of the season, the boys held a very successful Christmas party. The club members, especially those interested in law, received a special treat when they were invited to Mineola. There Judge Gehrig, the Children's Court Judge, presided over a mock trial which some of the club members helped to stage. From this exhibition, the boys were able to obtain an authentic, inside view of the work- ings and procedure of a court. 99 Left to right. Row I: S. Foster, C. Nordin, D. Eder C. Davies, C.

The aim of this energetic group is to promote leader- ship, scholarship and service within the club and throughout the school. This year there are about sixty-five striving scholars who have attained membership. There were no exceptions to the Pioneers' tra- dition of a well-rounded and interesting group of programs in this year's club. One of the high- lights was a speaker from Brookhaven National Laboratory. With the aid of slides and pictures, he explained the possibilities of peacetime uses of atomic energy. At another meeting a teacher displayed her toothpick furniture and at a later date, her button collection. A trip to the tele- phone company and a tour of a newspaper office were planned by the club. The Pallas Club gave a party just prior to the Christmas vacation for their younger sisters. The Pioneers have planned to reciprocate some time in May. Presiding over the club is Barbara Long, her assistant is Elsie Dobler, recorder of the minutes is Laura Reid, and Marilyn Brooks guards the finances. The success of the Pioneers could prob- ably be attributed to two factors; the work of Mrs. Price, their advisor, and the enthusiastic spirit which always prevails in the club. 100 PATHFINDERS THE freshman boys who have obtained an average of ninety percent in four subjects, and eighty-seven percent in the fifth, are eligible for membership in the Pathfinders. These club members, besides retaining their high scholastic averages, place a great deal of importance on the development of their cultural backgrounds. Their advisor, Mr. Levin, helps them toward this goal by arranging slides and lectures on various topics. The topics presented to them by their various speakers covered a wide variety of subjects. Sergeant Goldstein, of the police force, gave a talk to them on the different aspects and ways of practicing safety. At a joint meeting of the Pathfinders and Pioneers, Heinrich Ickstadt told his interested listeners about customs and schooling in Ger- many. He is in a good position to give such a talk, as he was born, and spent much of his life there. At a second joint meeting, a lecturer from Brookhaven National laboratories spoke concerning atomic power. The Pathfinders elected Peter Peril to the Club presidency. He is assisted by Charles Lutz, vice- president. The man in charge of the records is Gordon Weil, and David Armstrong takes care of the club funds. The boys, in order to get away from their books for a while, decided to hold a hobby exhibit. At the exhibit, the club members were able to show off their own hobbies and to obtain ideas for new ones. Left to right. Row I: R. Leetherman, G. Wiel. A. Foster, T. Farina, J. Leifer, E. Bing.

This eager group comprised juniors and seniors, who were members of the Pre-Engineering Club. The club, directed by Mr. Windt, met twice monthly on the first and third Wednesday during ninth and tenth periods. Presiding over the meet- ings was president James Groonell. With the help of vice-president Douglas Witt, secretary Carl Weinstien, and treasurer Alan Craig, affairs were kept running smoothly. fulfill; and what phases of engineering are likely to present openings in the near future. They also have planned vocational aptitude tests to see if they were qualified for this field of work. Under Learning, the study of topics not included in the regular courses, such as the use of the slide rule and surveying, were taken up. They studied these subjects and the instruments and equip- ment involved. In order to be a member of the Pre- Left to right. Row I: C. Weinstein. Row II: F. Shugrue, J. Taft, C. McLaughlin, M. Shade.

The program of this organization was divided into two parts, consisting of Guidance and Learning. Under Guidance, with the advice of Mr. Windt, all of the members considered the following items; what branches of engineering they desired; which colleges have the best courses for them; what are the entrance require- ments, which it will be necessary for them to Engineering Club, one must be taking or have completed Intermediate Algebra and be inter- ested in some phase of engineering. It is hoped that by participating in the group's activities, the members will develop an even greater incentive to become engineers and will acquire a knowledge of the problems to be faced while working toward this goal. 102 Left to right.

SQUARE DANCE CLUB 1 I_I ONOR your partner, do-si-do. The fa- I J miliar calls of folk and square dancing resound through the Prospect School gym dur- ing a meeting of this lively group. Learning the square dances and foreign folk dances is fine fun for the boys and girls. Some are a bit awkward at first, but learn quickly under the instruction of Mr. Franz, their genial friend and advisor who organized the club in 1941. He learns the folk and square dances at the Com- munity Folk Dance Center in New York City, and then passes them on to the club. Occasionally, more advanced members have entertained at the G. O. student assembly, performing several dances from their extensive repertoire. Wednesday afternoon meetings are held weekly. Officers are George Devinsky, president, and Barbara Hurd, secretary. FISHING CLUB ON a clear, sunny, spring day, haven't all of you at one time or another wanted to relax by going fishing? Haven't you pictured yourself proudly parading home with fresh cod- fish, mackerel, or flounder? Most of the Fishing Club members not only have dreamt of these things but have made them a reality. The club has seen movies on sport fishing, and has heard lectures on how to rig tackle and equipment by their advisor, Mr. White, and by club members. Meetings are presided over by Kenneth Outwater, president, and minutes are taken by Charles Ricklen. Mr. Beddow talked to the members on fly- tying at one of the meetings held early in the year and gave out sample flies. His tips helped the fishermen on their trips. Left to right. Row I: A.

CAMERA CLUB WHILE walking through the halls, or in the streets of Hempstead, have you ever heard the sudden click of a shutter? This is a familiar sound to the members of the Camera Club and to many of the students of Hempstead High. The club is one of the most fascinating and instructive organizations in the school. Each member, having paid his dues, is entitled to use any of the school's equipment, when he is able to do so properly. This year, the club held a business meeting twice a month, in addition to weekly dark-room meetings. Meetings are di- rected by Ed Ford, president. Lewis Sherwood fills the office of secretary and Howard Harris controls the purse strings. Members learn the use of enlargers, developers, speed-graphic cameras, and the art of producing good prints. Many print contests are held throughout the year. Perhaps the most well known is the Miss Shutterbug contest, in which members enter their best pictures of any girls in the school. William Rapp submitted the winning photo in this contest, a picture of Sue Krim. A contest sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company on a nation-wide scale is held yearly and we have had several winning photographers in the past. In the spring, the club went on field trips, which were planned by the activities committee. Enjoying one of its largest membership in recent years, the Camera Club sincerely believes it has accomplished a great deal towards its objective, the taking, developing and printing of more and better pictures.

The girl assigned to this task must be carefully trained, since the switchboard is the center of all incoming and outgoing calls throughout Hempstead High. A single mistake can cause much disorder and con- fusion. In addition to the numerous tasks already mentioned, the members of the squad also assist Dr. Maure's two capable secretaries, Miss Rich and Mrs. Lagakis. The girls find that in per- forming this type of work, they gain knowledge of the various duties of a secretary, and learn how to carry out their assignments quickly and efficiently. Although the Principal's Service Squad is not as old as some activities in Hempstead High, it has certainly proved to be one of the most outstanding. We are certain that in future years, this squad will continue to be one of the leading organizations of our school. Ifc PRINCIPAL'S SERVICE SQUAD EACH period of the day in Office 3, you will find the members of the Principal's Service Squad performing their many duties quickly and efficiently. Dr. Maure, the advisor, chooses each girl on the basis of dependability, capability, personality, and scholastic standing. This year, Sue Crandell has been elected Chief of the squad, and Joan Williamson has been chosen Assistant-Chief. Of the many various duties which the squad members perform, including typing, filing, and 105 Left to right. Row I: Miss Abbott, Mrs. Stilger, M. Jacoves, M. McGuire, J. Kittell, J. Haste, B. Brooks.

PEN AND INK CLUB THESE seventy junior and senior girls, who are members of the Pen and Ink Honor Club, must maintain an average of ninety percent or above in all their subjects and Regents. The meetings planned during the past year sought to give the girls a wider knowledge of the fine arts and to provide diversion at the same time. Mr. Leusch projected numerous pic- tures which he had taken during his stay in Switzerland. He enlightened the girls on many facts about that country. Another slide program was presented by Mr. Pilkington on art apprecia- tion. An interesting and novel program was a talk on good grooming, clothing, and beauty by Kathryn Gay, a professional model. In addition to having speakers, the girls planned parties such as the ones held at Hallowe'en and Christmas. The club also attended the musical, Out of This World. Presiding over these meetings is their com- petent president, Joanne Kittell, while Stephanie Wilson is vice-president; Jeanne Haste, secre- tary; and Barbara Brooks, treasurer. Any freshman whom you meet will tell you how thankful he is to the club for the publication of the Hempstead High School Handbook, which gives the layout of the school and also much valuable information about the curricular and extra-curricular activities. Heading the publica- tion of this manual is Maureen McGuire. The business manager is Marion Jacoves. Inaugurated this year was the practice of giving a scholarship to the most deserving stu- dent of the club. Money for this award was raised by a cake sale held in February and by charging admission to a movie shown in March. Not forgetting their advisors, Mrs. Stilger and Miss Abbott, the girls give many thanks to them. 106 PENTAGON CLUB THE membership of the Pentagon Club con- sists of the male master-minds of the junior and senior classes, who have received an average of ninety percent or over in their major subjects during their first two or three years. The super- vision of the club is under the control of its advisor, Mr. Fish. The Pentagon's objective is to help the school in any and every way possible. The executives of the club are headed by their able president, Robert Batson. The vice- presidency is held by Sheldon Bloom. Charles McLaughlin keeps the minutes of the club, while the funds are watched over by Morris Rosen. To begin the year, the club officers, with the help of their advisor set out to write a consti- tution for the club. After a few weeks of work and discussion, a constitution emerged, which at the following meeting was ratified by an al- most unanimous vote. Besides devoting a large amount of time to their studies, these boys go in for the finer points of learning, while keeping an eye on the affairs of the world. Guest speakers, often professors, are asked to lecture to the club on such sub- jects as art, architecture, and music. This coach- ing, plus trips to the museums, is useful to the members in preparing for scholarship examina- tions. Those worldly-minded individuals, interested in international affairs, banded together and di- vided an entertaining day in the U. N. between a General Assembly meeting at Flushing Mead- ows and a meeting of one of the committees at Lake Success. Christmas tree ornaments were sold this year to raise money for the annual fifty dollar schol- arship award to the student with the highest average. A gold Service Key is given to the Pentagon member who was of greatest service to the club. Loft to right. Row I: S. Bloom. M. Rosen, R. Batson. M. Barkan, L. Schulman, R. Oman, R. Lutz. L.

MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB THE name of the Music Appreciation Club tells just about all there is to know about its functions. It is composed of a large number of students interested in talking over, arguing about, and listening to music. Membership of the club has become so large that its advisor, Mr. Fish, has been forced to divide it into two clubs, a freshman-sophomore group, and a junior-senior group. Although a great portion of the club members are from the band and orchestra, there is no requirement for entrance except a love of good music. Usually, at club meetings, records of a single composer will be played and afterwards his works discussed. The records are acquired by pooling the collections of the members and their advisor. Naturally, the club members do not confine their music to listening to records. At different times during the year, the club attended operas, concerts, and ballet performances in New York. These trips were especially enjoyable to the members who are attempting to attune their hearing to the finer musical works. Many of them play various instruments. The executives of the Junior-Senior Club in- clude Lawrence Wasserman, president and Peter Pill, vice-president. No officers were elected for the Freshman-Sophomore Club. Top picture. Left to right.

INDUSTRIAL COOPERATIVE TRAINING PROGRAM A RECENT innovation in the curriculum at Hempstead High School is the introduction of the Industrial Cooperative Training Program under the direction of Mr. Cramblet. This program is a cooperative activity con- ducted by the school with industry or business to provide the student with on-the-job training along with classroom instruction. Experience is made available in such fields as auto and radio mechanics, sheet metal working, carpentry, flori- culture, etc. Students participating work half a day and attend school half a day. In some cases two students may be placed on the same job alter- nating between work and school so that the employer always has one student on the job. Participating employers agree with the school on a starting wage, periodic raises, and length of time necessary to learn the trade. Employers must make adequate provisions for the health and safety of the students under his supervision. The school is responsible for the organization and operation of the work-study courses and coordination between on-the-job experience and class room instruction. A coordinator is engaged by the school to administer the program and act as a liaison man for the school with industry and business. The vocational guidance department assists students in choosing suitable occupations and directs the employers in their education of the students. Students enrolled in the program can actually learn a trade or job while attending school and receive pay for their work. Upon graduation they are better equipped to find employment in their chosen field as they have had actual work ex- perience. Realistic students anxious to get ahead by preparing for a specific job find this a practical and worthwhile program. This program still in its infancy in our school is doing a wonderful job and deserves our praise. 109 SOPHOMORE DRAMATIC WORKSHOP SEVEN SISTERS, a fine play, with an ex- cellent cast, was presented on the night of February 14th before a fine audience in our high school auditorium, by the members of the Sophomore Dramatic Workshop. It was directed by Mrs. Kantzler and Miss Randall. The play was the major production of the year for the work- shop members and resulted in a splendid success. Leading roles were played by Jacqueline Cody and Bruce Corrie. The Sophomore Dramatic Workshop is open to all sophomores desiring to participate in any form of dramatic activity. Meetings are held daily in room 34 before school in the morning. The purpose of this organization is to uncover and develop talent among the underclassmen and to provide dramatic experience for the members. It is hoped that by acting in plays as sophomores, the young thespians will be better prepared for roles in Footlight Club productions later on. Members also find that a great deal of poise and self-confidence can be acquired through acting. Left to right: J. Cody. B. Corrie. Left: J. Cody. Right, Standing: J. Martz, A. Tower. J. Hirshon.

A HUSH falls over the audience as the cur- tain is slowly opened, revealing another Footlight Club production. A complete sell-out was the reward for Robert Russell, Joe Schaedel and Joanne Rosengrant, stars of the very successful Broadway hit, The Hasty Heart, which the Footlight Club pre- sented. Another of the club's more notable pro- ductions was the magnificent Christmas pageant, presented for the high school audience during the Christmas assemblies. Busy juniors and seniors make time to partici- pate in this club, the only one in which one must earn his membership. Acting in plays, helping in any phase of back-stage production, ushering, sealing tickets, and publicity all help toward the goal of membership. Bob Russell holds the presidency of the Foot- light Club. His assistant is Joe Schaedel. The keeper of the minutes is Joanne Kittell and Mary Ann Chmylowski records the points. Pat Finn is treasurer. Miss Randall and Mrs. Kantzler direct the efforts of this club. Left to right. Row I: R. Miller, P. Cahill, M. Jacoves, A. Fritz, V. McDermott, S. Bloom. Row II: E. Ford, S. Frost, J. Wilson. J.

KEY KLICKERS EVERY third Thursday of the month during the ninth period in the teachers' cafeteria, one can see a group of vivacious, ambitious girls, at- tending a meeting of the Key Klicker's Club. It is the aim of these girls to gain a better understanding of the business world and more experience in the various business fields which will equip them for better positions when they graduate from high school. In order to attain these ends and broaden their interests, they planned various programs, one of which centered around a speaker who discussed the different aspects of employment with a bank. Each year at Easter time it is the custom of the club to take a special trip. This year the girls decided to see the musical, Out of This World. A beach party was planned to acquaint the freshman and sophomore girls with the func- tions of the club. To raise money for the various 112 activities, small pins symbolizing St. Patrick were sold at the Blue and White Corner. Aiding the girls in any problems they have is their advisor, Miss Silver. The four officers of the club are Electra Tsighis, president; Catharine Heinzerling, vice-president; Joan Davies, Secre- tary, and Carol Cloud, treasurer. OFFICE FIVE SQUAD THE students working in Office Five are a happy, friendly group. A recent addition to the school offices, this staff has greatly increased in the number of members during the past year. The competent chief is Barbara Brooks, who is ably assisted by Mickey McKeithan. Miss Ron- nerman is their advisor. The duties of these students include helping with the general office work, such as filing, run- ning errands, copying lists, and alphabetizing. New students often get their first view of Hemp- stead High in a tour guided by one of these affable people, who also orientate them as to our customs and regulations. The staff is made up of twenty-four students in all. The majority are sophomores and juniors, although there are freshmen and seniors on it as well. Both boys and girls are eligible. No special course of study is a prerequisite to membership on this squad. The two main requirements are dependability and willingness. This year a very pleasant and successful Christ- mas party was held for the members and faculty associated with the squad. The affair was en- livened considerably by the boys on the squad, who gave small, humorous gifts of the trick variety to the teachers attending. While the staff gains a certain amount of poise and clerical experience, its main purpose is serv- ice to the school. Left to right. Row I: N. Bergert, M. Oberfeli, B. Brooks, S.

J. Quail. SCIENCE CLUB COMMERCIAL CLUB ENTERING room 76 on the final Tuesday of the month, you find numerous young scien- tists deeply engrossed in some part of physics or perhaps chemistry. If you remain, you will have spent a profitable hour with the Science Club. Associated with the members for many years has been Mr. Faust who helps them per- form experiments in physics and chemical re- actions. For each meeting a member is appointed to do research work on a subject and to report to the club at its meeting. Early in the year they discussed the principle of a thermometer con- nected with meteorology. Since then they have demonstrated Hare's method of determining specific gravity. They plan to demonstrate the Proney brake to find the horsepower of a small electric motor. The officers elected this year were George Huling, president; Norman Goldstein, vice-presi- dent; Thomas Hooker, secretary; and Thomas Batira, treasurer. THE Commercial Club is a group that was organized purely for social activities. It is made up of those freshman and sophomore girls, taking a Commercial Course, who enjoy the company of others and are desirous of pleasant association with girls interested in similar va- rieties of recreation. At the monthly meetings there is sure to be an interesting program. Sev- eral of this year's activities include a trip to the United Nations, a Christmas party just prior to the closing of school for the holiday season, and a Valentine's Day party. Our future business women planned an Easter party and a picnic after school at Belmont Lake State Park some time in May. The president of the Commercial Club is Edyth Maxaner. Her assistant is Virginia Preston, vice-president. Margaret Maher keeps track of the club's finances. Miss Degenhart is advisor to the club. I 14 AUDIO-VISUAL SQUAD WHAT is the Audio-Visual Squad? Why was it organized? What does it do? Many students are probably asking themselves and others these very questions and here, we hope, are some of the answers. The responsibility of showing and distributing movies throughout the numerous schools in Nas- sau County rests with the many boys who com- pose the Audio-Visual Squad. They also perform other duties such as: running the Public Address system for home room notices: taking care of films and repairing them when damaged; keep- ing the motion picture projectors, record players and microphones in good condition and finally receiving and returning the films to the dis- tributors. This group was organized to carry out these duties in the Audio-Visual office. Every period there are several members in the office prepared to meet any difficulty which may arise. One can see by the professional way in which the boys handle emergencies which sometimes arise while pictures are being projected in the classrooms that they are trying their best to do a competent job. In addition they demonstrate their technical skill. Thanks to Mr. E. C. Moore, who has trained the squad since it was first established, both students and teachers have been greatly aided by the work of these boys. The squad is led by chief John Freggens, while Ed Ford holds the position of assistant-chief. Myron Marino is in charge of clinical work and also handles the organization's funds. So important is the work of the Audio-Visual Squad that it would be almost impossible to carry on efficiently the work of the various de- partments without it. Our thanks and congratu- lations to the members. Their work is much appreciated. left to right, Row I: L. Sullivan, S. Reich. J. Johns, G. Littman, R. Barnaby, J. Maraglio, H. Clark, S. Brecker, J.

CAFETERIA SQUAD ENTERING the cafeteria during the fifth, sixth or seventh periods, we observe the results of the work of the Cafeteria Squad. The task of feeding hundreds of hungry students as promptly and efficiently as possible, each of these periods, falls to the members of this organization. Behind the scenes, savory hot meals, soup, sandwiches and desserts are prepared in a kitchen equipped with some of the best and most modern facilities available. The food is served amid an air of immaculate cleanliness. Although the squad members are kept busy during lunch periods, you will find that they always manage to have a cheerful word or smile for each student. Members of the squad report that the roast beef and chicken h la king dinners are the most popular. There is sometimes such a wide variety of dishes that it is difficult to have to make a selection. The one thing that no one seems to hesitate about, however, is the purchase of milk. Milk seems to go faster than anything else. Desserts, such as ice cream, jello and pie, are other best sellers. Everything is sold at very reasonable prices. This is made possible in part through federal aid. If you ever wish to join the Cafeteria Squad, you will find that above all else, you must be both courteous and dependable. It is these quali- ties that Mr. Tobani, the manager of the Cafe- teria Squad, looks for when deciding whether or not you are eligible to become a member. Loft to right. Mr. Tobani. K. Wunderlich. Mrs. Hafner. Mrs. McConnell, Mrs. Clauser, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. King. BLUE AND WHITE CORNER FOR many years, the Blue and White Corner has performed a real service for Hempstead High. The fifteen members who work at the corner give as many as three periods a day to assist Mr. Davidson. The boys and girls are chosen from Retailing II classes for their marks, honesty and general appearance. Working at the corner, they get experience in making sales, in greeting customers promptly and serving them efficiently. They also learn how to fill out sales slips and to operate a cash register. Other functions of the staff are to sell tickets at the ticket window, and to decorate the display window. The boys and girls take turns in making the window attractive, thus acquiring skill in decorating and display. With the able assistance of Mr. Davidson, the Blue and White Corner has become one of the most helpful features of the school. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL ' A E serve.” This is the motto of a fine V V group of girls known as the Junior Red Cross Council. The organization is under the supervision of Miss Davis, their advisor. Marie Cirielli presides over their weekly meetings and Carolyn Tedesco keeps the minutes up to date. Throughout the year, the club has carried out many projects for the aid of others. One such was the making of soft toy animals and baby jackets for the benefit of children overseas. Later in the year, they distributed gift boxes to the other clubs of the school, and had them fill the boxes with all varieties of useful articles, includ- ing soap, pencils, paper and pads for some of the children who are less fortunate than we are. In the fall of the year, they held their annual membership drive. The council also distributed copies of the American Red Cross Journal in our school libraries and various classrooms.

Nancy Kowall, chairman of the Pre-Nursing Club, calls the organization to order. Anne Courtney, treasurer, assists her. The activities of the club are planned with the objective of helping the girls gain an under- standing of the field of nursing. An inspiring meeting was held in honor of Elaine Luick, a former member, who had been capped at St. Luke's Hospital. She returned to speak of her experiences while training. From Elaine's talk, the girls realized the hardships of their chosen pro- fession. Two field trips were taken which were very beneficial to the members of the club. One trip was taken through Meadowbrook Hospital, where the functions of the hospital were ob- served. Another trip was taken to the Cerebral Palsy Center in the American Legion Hall, where children recovering from the crippling effects of palsy were observed while receiving treatment. The members of the club work hard, but they also take time to enjoy themselves. Chaperoned by their advisor, Mrs. Marsden, they went to Point Lookout for a picnic. Although not all the girls may continue their interest in the nursing profession, the club aims to help all reach a decision and encourage those who wish to continue in this field. Left to right.

By combining, it was hoped that the clubs would have greater support for their activities and also increased membership. To start the season off Donald Chichester was elected president, Sue Marsden, vice-president, Angelo Cavioto, secretary, and George Bareille, treasurer. Money that was raised by the French Club and the French classes was sent to La Famille, an orphanage in Sedan, France. The club re- ceived pictures and letters of thanks. The orphan- age also received 100 pounds of clothes. Before the first of the year they entertained with songs, games, and refreshments at the Christmas party. They planned as part of their activities to see the play L'Ecole des Femmes by Moliere during Easter week. This play stars Louis Jouvet, one of France's most famous actors and producers. Furthermore, they went to New York to visit the French Line, saw a French movie, and then dined at a French restaurant. At their meetings the members try to improve their knowledge of France and its culture. They sing songs, listen to records, or view travel films. Two prizes of $10 each are awarded annually to the persons receiving the highest marks on the French II and French III Regents. Last year's winners were Hank Mailer and Pat Moore. Loft to right.

LATIN CLUB A GOOD suggestion to those people who believe Latin is a dead language is tor them to attend a meeting of the Carpe Diem Sodalitas. There, on the third Tuesday of the month, during the eleventh period in room 31, one can see the club in action. Managing the affairs of the club are its four officers: Elizabeth Lynch, first consul who carries out the duties of president: Douglas Palmer, sec- ond consul who acts as vice-president: Gail Moore, Quaestor who handles the money prob- lems, and Elsa Steinbrenner, scribe who records the minutes of the meeting. The biggest and most important project of the club is the raising of one hundred dollars for a scholarship which is given to the Latin IV student who has done the most for the club. In addition, two awards of five dollars each are given to the Latin II and Latin III students who receive the highest Regents grades. Money for these awards is raised by selling several varieties of Christmas cards and boxes of wrapping paper. Two of the programs presented this year were a film on Roman life and a Christmas party. As in the past, Miss Winter, the advisor of the club, took the members to see a play. This year half the club saw Member of the Wedding and the other half saw Peter Pan. SMnn. 120 SPANISH CLUB THIS year Miss Ignelzi assumed the position of advisor of the Spanish Club. She believes that the club should be run by students. Minutes are read in Spanish and meetings are conducted by the members, who confer with their advisor on matters of importance. The club started the year with a trip to New York, where eleven members attended the movie. Locura de Amor. The Mad Queen. After the show, they dined at El Fundador, a Spanish restaurant. Next on the program was the Christmas party. Decorations prepared by the students added a festive appearance to the gay occasion. Such traditions as the feast of the Pinata and Los Reyes Magos were re-enacted. The Christmas story was read in Spanish by a student, carols were sung, and refreshments were served. The Spanish Club journeyed to New York again in February, where they visited the Met- ropolitan Museum of Art. They saw paintings by El Greco and Goya. They also viewed the famous murals at Rockefeller Center. This year's officers are: Sandra Book, president; Angela Margiotta, vice-president; Doris Mueller, secretary; and Shirley Zylan, treasurer. A five dollar award is given annually for the highest grade on the Spanish II Regents. Last year Margie Janvey and Tina Gelo finished in a tie. The third year Spanish Regents award of a bronze medal was won by Robert La Rosa. Left to right. Row I: S. Breclcer, P. Mitchell, D. Pooters, G. Dessert. Row II: S. Zylan, S. Booth, M. Madigan, C.

Indeed, it is not too much to say that this club is one of the most popular in the school, with over one hundred members. Because the German Club membership has grown so rapidly in past years, it was deemed advisable this year to form two clubs, a junior-senior club and a freshman- sophomore club, or in German—Der Deutsche Verein und Der Deutsche Kreis, respec- tively. At the organizational meeting this year, the junior-senior club elected Gregory Pappas, president; Robert Rende, vice-president; Catherine Kleshefsky, treasurer; Joseph Schaedel, secretary. The officers elected by the freshman-sophomore club were Richard Leidy, president; Donald Taylor, treasurer, and Helen Hagenah, secretary. It is the custom of the German Club to give an award to the students receiving the highest second and third year Regents grades. Madeline Chini won the third year award; for the other a three way tie evolved among Morris Rosen, Fred Carmen and Natalie Geradi. GERMAN CLUB As in the past, the Christmas party held this year in the girls gymnasium was the outstanding event of the year. More than one hundred students from both clubs par- ticipated in the festivities. The major part of the time was spent in folk and square dancing, called by Mr. Franz. A surprise came in the form of Santa Claus, humor- ously portrayed by Mr. Zara, who distributed gifts from a grab-bag. Refreshments, which completed the arrangements of the party, supplied a perfect ending to the gay afternoon of entertainment. In a subsequent meeting the clubs competed in one of their favorite games, a spelling bee in German. On annother occasion, the musically inclined students in the department presented a musical program for the clubs. Helen Hagenah, who visited Germany last summer, related some of her experiences to the freshman-sophomore club at one of their meetings. In the club, students of German meet one another and their teachers in an atmos- phere less formal than in the classroom. They learn the art of conversation in a foreign language through this pleasant relationship. Monthly meetings were held under the friendly guidance of Fraulein Gunther and Herr Leusch. To end the school year on an enjoyable note, everyone will contribute to the fun and food of a picnic. 123 Cheerleaders and Tigerettes Varsity Sports J. V.

Of course the game itself is the thing but no game is complete without the band and the rest of the entourage. Along with the band itself are the Color Guard, the Twirlers, and the Glockenspiel players. These all go to- ward making Hempstead's unsurpassed band its pride and joy. First in line when the band marches out on the field is the Girls' Color Guard. This group has the important responsibility of creating the first impression of the band as it parades onto the field. This year, the Color Guard not only DRUM MAJORETTES Left to right: N. Novarine, P. Danforth, I. Freund. JUNIOR TWIRLERS Left to right. Row I: C. Mooney. L. Seaman. C. Rocchio, J. Salmeri, C. Wittine.

The girls in the Color Guard wear gold and white uniforms, with the exception of the captains, who wear blue and white. The capable co-cap- tains of the Color Guard are Grace Greenman and Charlotte Oakland. Twirling looks deceptively easy, but it is now justly recognized as an art requiring exceptional dexterity and gracefulness, which our twirlers have achieved so masterfully. These girls are di- vided into two groups, senior and junior. Betty Perkins and Gloria Clark are head twirlers. Per- forming with the twirlers are the high-stepping drum majorettes, Nancy Novarine and Elsie Freund. Among formations featured in 1950 were the musical note and the flag-swinging sequences. The Hempstead twirlers appeared twice at the Polo Grounds during the season. One of the unique features of the musical organization of our school is the emphasis on the glockenspiel in the band formations. Up to 15 steel harmonicas are played at once. Just as a prize-winning cake must have the best ingre- dients, so the best of bands must be made up of unexcelled parts, smoothly coordinated, as in our incomparable band.

Why, cheerleaders, of course, and the most dynamic bunch of acka- lacka-chee'ers around are the great 1950-51 Hempstead High School girls. Under the able direction of Mrs. Church, the cheerleaders di- vided into the varsity, junior varsity, and fresh- man squads, all were participants in the gala band shows. Co-captains of the Varsity girls were Jeanne Haste and Jeannette Oliver. No varsity game is ever complete without these vivacious groups of blue and white-clad feminine fireballs. The girls plan their own cheers and practice them until they achieve perfection. The JV and fresh- man groups show promise of keeping our varsity cheerleader squads among the best. So let's have a cheer for the cheerleaders—Are you ready— Let's go! Left to right. Row I: E. Finn, D. Sharlun. B. Hilmar, M. Shelfo, P. Leckie, J. Greenblat, H. Sormani, P. Plender, E. Robertson, A.

TIGERETTES HEMPSTEAD HIGH'S music department is unexcelled, so any group that is connected with it must be of the highest calibre. Such is the quality of the colorful Tigerettes, who graced Hempstead's gala band shows for the third year in 1950-51. Thirty-six junior and senior girls, gaily clad in their blue and white outfits, comprise the group. Membership is actually forty-two, since provisions are made for substitutes. Any senior girl who has been a Tigerette for two years receives a coveted and cherished Tigerette pendant for her service. Membership pins are awarded to girls after they have com- pleted their first year with the Tigerettes. The girls work hard to create and perfect new dance routines, which are always refreshing and original. The young lady responsible for the great success of this rapidly-growing group is Miss Miriam Birnbaum. Co-captains are Barbara Scanlon and Cleo Harbolis. The magnificence of Hempstead's band group has amazed spectators wherever they have performed, and the dynamic Blue and White clad Tigerettes have firmly implanted themselves as a vital part of this organization. Congratulations and best wishes go to Miss Birn- baum and these energetic, cooperative, and clever Tigerettes. Left to right. Row I: Z. Zentrich, B. Bertrand, B. Bush, T. Gelo, V. Maddock. M.

VARSITY FOOTBALL GRIDIRON fever was raised to the boiling point as Hempstead High's gridders pre- pared for another season under a new coach, Mr. Bob Schuessler. Many lettermen were return- ing, while a large group of graduates from the JV and freshman squads also made the team. Hopes were high as another Fall settled over us. FREEPORT 13-12 WINNER IN OPENER: Hempstead's traditional rival, Freeport, scored a 13-12 triumph in the season's first game, played at Hempstead. Ron Skip Ulip, Freeport scat- back, scored all 13 Red Devil points, while Roman Oleksiak accounted for the Tigers’ 12 points with 2 TD's. Going into the last period, the Tigers had led 12-6. MEPHAM PASSES REPULSE HEMPSTEAD BID, 37-21: A woefully inept pass defense ruined a brilliant comeback effort by Hempstead as Mepham triumphed, 37-21. Leaving the field at the half trailing, 19-0, the Tigers were exhorted by Coach Schuessler and struck back furiously to take a 21-19 lead over the bewildered Bucs after three periods. However, Mepham opened up through the air for the clinching 4th period TD's to win going away. The Pirates completed II of 14 passes. The game's most spectacular play, however, was a Rowehl-to-Sosnosky pass for a 60-yard Tiger touchdown gallop. SEWANHAKA WHIPS HEMPSTEAD BY 37-13 FOR THIRD TIGER LOSS: Hempstead was turned back at Floral Park by a powerful Sewan- haka eleven, 37-13, in a game that was close for three periods. Led by Earl Seagle, the Tribe scored freely in the final quarter to hand the Tigers their third straight defeat. CHAMINADE OVERCOMES TIGER LEAD TO WIN, 12-8: Chaminade's Flyers took advan- tage of Hempstead's 4th period ineffectiveness to overcome an 8-0 deficit and win, 12-8. An Oleksiak-to-Norton pass and a safety had given Hempstead an early lead, but two long last- quarter scampers by Chaminade's Krause re- turned the Flyers winners over a Tiger team win- less in four starts. BALDWIN LOSS FIFTH STRAIGHT FOR TIGERS: For the fourth time in five losing games, 130 the Hempstead gridders blew a lead in the last quarter. This time, the home team, Baldwin, was the recipient of Hempstead's over-abundant kindness, winning, 9-7. A pass by Grotz, top flinger in the league, gave the supposedly power- ful Baldwin team its only TD. Once again, the Tigers had come very close to upsetting some- body, but Baldwin was to remain undefeated. TIGERS CRUSH CENTRAL IN LAST HOME GAME, 32-6: Hempstead finally broke into the win column, and decisively so, at the expense of Central, 32-6. The Tigers' offense coordinated in beautiful fashion, and they displayed a stellar defense. The Valley Stream eleven was the last visitor to Hempstead for the 1950 grid season, and the first to leave defeated. MINEOLA UPSETS HUB FORCES, 18-7, TAK- ING BIG EARLY LEAD: An underdog Mineola squad surprised Hempstead, 18-7, in a game played at the Mineola High field. Trailing, 12-0, Hempstead staged a second-half drive that brought them to within less than a touchdown of the Maroon, but the home team held, and even added an insurance touchdown. The lone Tiger TD was scored by Roman Oleksiak, playing despite a painfully injured nose. Dick Martin added the extra point, his 8th in 15 tries. TIGERS WIN TURKEY DAY GAME AND CHAPMAN BELL AT GLEN COVE: In a wild game played on Thanksgiving morning, Hemp- stead outdistanced a host Glen Cove eleven, 32-20. This win gave the Tigers a record of two wins and six losses. Victory in this traditional battle gave the Tigers possession of the H. H. Chapman Memorial Friendship Bell as a trophy, symbolic of a win in this classic. The game was featured by a 70-yard jaunt by Sam Miller of Hempstead. The starting Hempstead eleven consisted of Al Norton and Don Daigneault at ends, Ray Udris and Charley Van Auderkerk at tackles, Santo Varbero and Art Szeglin at guards, and Bill Dempsey at center; Lou Flego, Roman Olek- siak, Dick Martin, and Walt Sosnosky in the backfield. Co-captains of the team were Al Norton and Dick Martin. Despite their mediocre record, all the members of the squad gave their best effort, and hopes are for Hempstead to get back on a winning track in the future. '(J1 AMISS is as good as a mile, as the 1951 Hempstead Varsity Basketball team unfor- tunately learned. Like their football brothers, the Tigers lost many a close game which could have gone either way. Mr. Royal Chief Benner’s forces compiled a 3-9 league record for a sixth place rating. In all, the Bennermen played 18 games, winning 5. Co-captains Gene Kinnison and Roger Shaffer, Bob Meddis, Bill Stevenson, and Byron Provost were the most frequent starters, but Chief substituted freely. Kinnison's 11.2 average was high for the Tigers. Shaffer followed with a 9.6 mark. Shaffer's 26 points against Baldwin were team tops. Despite their unfortunate season, the Tigers won the big one, a 57-49 upset over Freeport. This traditional was followed by a double- overtime thriller, won over Lawrence, 51-49. These final two games showed the strong poten- tiality of the Blue and White. No less than five games were lost by within 4 points. The crusher came in mid-season, when the Bengals lost a 37-35 squeaker to powerful Sewanhaka and a 59-57 heartbreaker to Baldwin in one week! Here s wishing more luck in the future to the Bennermen.

L. baseball race. They compiled an over- all record of 8 wins and 10 losses. Their league record was 7 wins and 10 losses, giving them fifth place. Hempstead's outstanding moundsmen in 1950 were Burt Rich, Bill Kelly and Richie Wright. Backing up these hurlers were Bob Domini, Dick Martin, and Bill Dempsey. The starting infield included Harold Kent, George Schierenbeck, Captain Bill Savarese, and Hempstead's only All-Scholastic representative, Bob Cooke. The outfield consisted of flychasers Walt Sosnosky, Gene Kinnison, and Bob Miller. Coach Bob Schuessler's forces turned in sev- eral outstanding performances, highlighted by a two-out-of-three season success against strong Sewanhaka. A grand-slam homer by Bob Cooke featured an 8-run first inning in a 13-4 win over the Indians, and Bill Kelly later shut out the Tribe. This series salvaged some glory for the Tigers in a mediocre season. It is to be remem- bered, however, that the Blue and White forces were often out-played but never out-fought. Left to right.

Hemp- stead received a setback early in the spring when captain and champion hurler Lee Dluginski broke his foot. Despite inexperience and the injury jinx, the Tiger track team, coached by Mr. Krause, cap- tured two trophies, for championship in the 440 yard relays, and in the shuttle hurdles, in which a new record of 50.5 seconds was established. Making his successful debut in the sprints was Jerry Noonan. Ed Carrao made a change to the 100-yard dash and defeated his teammates, Roger Evans and Ernie Walker. Evans was also a top relay man, along with Don Jackson, Robert Botch, and Noonan, while Walker was the top high jumper. A successful combination in the pole vault was Pete Wingle and Gary Glier. Mr. Krause expects much more from Glier and from John Murtha, the only sophomores on the 1950 teamr. For the first time in the school s history, a freshman team was formed. Under the direction of Mr. Voorhies, they excelled in nearly all events, losing only one meet. Left to right. Row I: F. Gonsalves. R. Botsch, D. Jackson, W. Steveson. N. Johnson. S. Natelson, R.

The opening meet of the year for the varsity tracksters was lost by a slim margin to Chami- nade. Disaster struck later in the season when Hempstead suffered their worst defeat in seven years, at the hands of Mepham. The outstanding Tiger victory was scored over Central. In the all-important triangular meet, Hempstead de- feated Freeport but took the runner-up spot to Sewanhaka. This eagerly awaited event climaxed the 1950 track season. 134 RIFLE TEAM VARSITY SOFTBALL ONE of Hempstead's most successful teams, if not the most successful, was the 1949- 50 rifle team. Coached by Mr. Voorhies, the Tiger nimrods won 15 and lost 3 for the Nassau County and S. S. A. L. championships. The first annual Mott Carmen American Legion Trophy was won by our sharpshooters. With its great array of talent, it's no wonder Hempstead placed 7th in the Nationals. Top stars were Dick Ser- mon, whose 183.5 average earned him all-scho- lastic honors and Dick Oman who compiled a brilliant 184.2 average. At press time, the 1950-51 team had not completed play, but this much may be said: this fabulous squad should rank with the greatest high school teams ever produced. The unbeaten Tiger aggregation has rewritten the record books with its torrid performances shattering both team and individual marks. The school’s con- gratulations go to Mr. Voorhies and his ace nim- rods for their stellar work. ONE of Hempstead High School's outstand- ing athletic teams in the past year was the softball squad. Coached by Mr. Keenan, they won eight games while losing but four, finishing in a second-place tie. Comprising the softball squad were: Ohland, Daigneault, and Dietrich, pitchers; Wilson, catcher: Noonan, Hansen, MacLeod, West, Wulff, Marone, Guando, and Rodzwicki, infield- ers: McLaughlin, Van Auderkerk, Meeker, Mc- Iver, Oliver, Boganski, and Cosmo, outfielders. Charles McLaughlin was elected 1951 captain. Al Hotzinger served as manager. Among the highlights of the 1950 softball season were a no-hitter pitched by Don Daig- neault over Lawrence, and a 6-5 victory over Sewanhaka, handing the league-leaders their only loss of the year. Prospects for next year indicate another strong team, with only the pitching staff hit hard by graduation. With Mr. Keenan's coaching to guide them, future teams should enjoy continued success.

The Hub players were unable to cope with the stiff league opposition they encountered, winning only one of eight matches. This put them in a last-place tie with Baldwin. The only win was scored over Malverne. Playing in the singles for the Hempstead netmen were Don Arnaud, Lester Schulman, and Bob Nesbitt. Alternating to form doubles combinations were Bob Magee, Dave Wootten, Artie Klunder, Dick Barnaby, Ed Clark, Rod Lewin, and Dick Lutz. The 1950 tennis team was composed entirely of sophomores and juniors, so no players will be lost through graduation. Hopes are for a much brighter future for the boys who represent Hempstead in tennis. Lett to right. Row I: D. Palmer, L. Schulman, R. Nesbitt, D. Barnaby. Row II: R. Lewin, R. Lutz, R. Zeph, D.

The 1950-51 squad, coached by Mr. Navarra, enjoyed a fine season. Their sparkling 42-8 mark earned a first-place tie. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost the league crown to Central in a sensational playoff. Co-captains Art Olsen and Walt Wood sparked the team. These apt keglers placed 1-2 in the individual scoring race with 183 and 174 averages! Olsen’s 661 series and 238 game were also league highs. Plawski, Vollmer, Matthews and Graham of Hempstead were also in the league's top 15 scorers. The Tigers’ 826 team and 165 individual averages were also tops. Congratulations to Mr. Navarra and team for a wonderful season. Left to right. Row I: W Wood. W. Vollmer. R. Plawski, A. Olsen. R. Matthews. Row II: Mr. Navarra. E. Graham, J. Reis, F. Carman, R.

Mr. Faust stressed them, with the result that his Hempstead golf team rolled to a successful season of 10 wins, 4 losses, and a tie. Eugene Silverstrone served as team captain. Other members were Richard Stroup, Danny Shybunko, Ed Darmetkoski, Richard Freny, Byron Provost, John Lyons, Frederick Shore, Benny Klemanowicz, William Kelly, Chester Snellback, and Richard Hixon. The Tiger team had the honor of winning Section No. 8 championship in competition with all other schools in Nassau. Lawrence and Oceanside were the only schools to defeat Hemp- stead. The Tigers played to easy wins in most of their matches, so effectively did they consistently perform for Mr. Faust. Left to right. Row I: R. Frenz, E. Silverstrone, C. Snellbach, P. Kanzler.

A boys’ riding club, under the direction of Mr. Schaedel, meets weekly throughout the year. For the year of 1951, 18 boys joined the Riding Club. Skilled instructors from the Biltmore Riding Academy cooperate with Mr. Schaedel in teaching correct form, and in helping boys conquer whatever fear of riding they may possess. In the future, it is hoped that cross-country trips will be made. The club is open to all four classes, and these equestrians find good opportunity to ride and to learn and gain experience in the sport they love. 138 Left to right. Sitting: S. Natel- son, W.

CROSSCOUNTRY PROBABLY no sport has ever caught on and developed so rapidly in Hempstead's history as cross-country. Though competing only two years the Tigers earned a rating which places them among the elite of the state s cross-country teams. This sensational success is attributable greatly to Coach Paul Moose Krause, who has patient- ly helped many a struggling boy to become an outstanding runner. A wonderful honor came to Hempstead s Joe Gorman, who was chosen to represent Nassau County in the intersectional meet in Schenectady. Gorman emerged a fine fourteenth in a field that in- cluded all the fine harriors in the state! The season was highlighted by victories over Baldwin and Valley Stream. The Tiger harriers, under Co-captains Don Jackson and Willie Stevenson, finished fourth in the League. Left to right. Row I: C. Nagel, G. Monz, F. Dovinsky, S. White, C. Gilbert, R. DeMott, J.

J V BASEBALL IF a baseball team is to have a successful season, it must play winning ball consistently. This fact was driven home to the Hemp- stead Junior Varsity baseball team, as a bad start spoiled their chances for a winning season. The first seven games resulted in Tiger defeats, but Coach George Wilson then rallied his forces for a strong finish. The overall record for the Cubs was four wins and ten losses. Fireballing lefthander Bob Collins did the greater part of the pitching for Hempstead. Outstanding performances by the team were a 7-1 win over a good Garden City team, pitched by Pete Salit, and a 14-2 romp over Lawrence. At the close of the season, Mike Ricigliano was chosen honorary captain. 139 Left to right. Row I: C. Dreitlein, B. Hahn, E Brown. N. Capozzoli, A. Mule, J. Junda, P. Meeker. T. Santoro, R.

You'll have to fight hard to keep those positions, if the 1950 JV graduates play the way they have for Mr. Tord Beck, their coach. The Junior Tigers hustled their hearts out, and finished with a good record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and I tie. Several players actually were promoted to the varsity during the season, which may be a good sign, since in the past years, players consid- ered good enough to make this move have often starred for the varsity. Outstanding players among the 1950 JV squad were Ed Imbroll and Garry Dorns. The first JV game was against powerful Sew- anhaka, and resulted in a Tiger defeat, 39-6. The Cubs then hit their stride and battered Central, 25-6. The third game resulted in a 6-6 tie with Lawrence. Hempstead then ran into strong Mepham. The Tigers fought hard at first to win, but later, to keep Mepham from piling up the score. Hempstead then mowed down the Chaminade Flyers, 19-0. The season ended with a thrilling 19-14 victory over Baldwin. Once again, the willingness of player and coach to cooperate proved a winning formula, as the JV football squad experienced a fine season. Left to right. Row I: W. Wright, B. Gage N. Mays, M.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL ONE of the toughest jobs of a coach is to take a group of inexperienced boys and mold them into a winning football team. This task once again fell on the broad shoulders of Mr. Keenan, who guided his squad to another winning season. The freshman squad’s record of three wins, two losses, and two ties belies its actual stellar season. The Tiger Cubs amassed one of the best defensive records in the country's list of yearling teams. In their last five contests, the youngest of the Blue and White s gridiron machines allowed a mere two touchdowns. In fact, the season ended with a string of shutouts for the Cubs. The season's toughest loss was a 7-6 squeaker to Valley Stream. The strong, undefeated Law- rence eleven was held to a 7-7 tie by Hempstead. Then came a great defensive streak for the Tiger Yearlings, and as the season progressed they grew stronger game by game. Quarterback Adrian Butash and halfback Bruce Gluck were elected co-captains of the squad. Mr. Keenan attributes the success of the team to the ability and willingness of the boys to cooperate. His guidance and the fighting spirit of his team will continue to provide impressive records. 141 VARSITY CLUB WRESTLING FOR the first time, Hempstead's varsity letter- men are organized into a single group—the Varsity Club. The elite of the school's sports stars will make this organization one of the finest of its kind on Long Island. President Will Stevenson, Veep Lou Flego, and secretary Art Szeglin have formulated many plans, including purchasing of club jackets. Money raised at the club-sponsored Faculty- Varsity basketball game will be put to use. The club also co-sponsored the Shamrock Hop with the cheerleaders on March 16th. It was long coming, but at last it's here, and very welcome. Congratulations to the pioneers of our Varsity Club, which represents every fine ideal our school stands for. LOOKING toward the future, Hempstead or- ganized a new Wrestling Club in 1951, with Mr. Tord Beck as coach. Hopes are that this club will develop the nucleus for a varsity wres- tling team. Practice was held at Prospect Street School thrice weekly. On several occasions the squad traveled to Mepham for practice with the well-versed Mep- ham grapplers. Although not competing with other schools, the Tiger wrestlers took part in the South Shore preliminaries. All made an excellent showing. Art Szeglin was outstanding losing his bout only by a decision to a 3-year Mepham champ. On March 6th, an all-weight tournament was held in th e boys' gym. Mr. Beck has a fine start for a wrestling team. Left to right. Row I: J. Taft, B. Provost, C. Marrone. W. Maloney, D. Jackson, R. MacLeod, R. Bernstein, P. Picciano, E, Sil- verstrone. Row II: R.

JV BASKETBALL GUIDED by the unconquerable Hempstead spirit and the incomparable Mr. Lou Zara, the Tiger JV Basketball team completed a good 1951 season with an 11-7 record, despite three I-point losses. Frank Noonan and Bill Darcy led the Tigers in scoring with 8.5 averages. Garry Dorns, Captain Dick Martin, and Bob Richardson followed. Champ Freeport was beaten only once, by Mep- ham, and the JV Tigers beat Mepham twice! Mr. Zara points out the fact that 80% of games are lost on foul shots. Poor free-throwing was re- sponsible for a brief mid-season deluge of close losses, but too much talent and spirit can always crush any slump. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL MAKING up in spirit what they lacked in finesse, Hempstead's latest freshman bas- ketball team fought to a fine second-place finish under Mr. Luke White. The Cubs compiled a 7-3 league record, bettered only by Lawrence. They lost their title chance only on the last day. Howie Kennedy and Henry Kitchens were the standouts of a fine squad. Kennedy racked up a scorching 18.3 average, while Kitchens clicked for 13.8 Bill Coleman averaged 15.8 in 6 games. The best team effort was a 52-46 victory over Lawrence. A 39-37 comeback win over Mineola was another gem. Mr. White feels he had sev- eral future JV and Varsity stars under his wing in 1950-51. 143 Left to right. Row I: J. VanNess. S. Crandell. R.

These upper-class girls, carefully selected in February, are in charge of helping to plan the dances performed on the night of the Greek Games and of teaching the other girls who take creative dancing. THE 1950 Games were dedicated to Dionysus, god of Drama and Vegetation. The leg- end of Dionysus was told in a beautiful series of dances by the girls in the Modern Dance Club and Creative classes. This year's dances have been dedicated to Zeus. There prevails among the girls a strong spirit of cooperation and a love for the difficult tasks they must accomplish. These are the main rea- sons for the shining success of the club, not only at the time of the Greek Games, but also on Senior Class Night, when the girls have a big part in the program. Edna Heuffner is the president of the Modern Dance Club, which comprises about 30 mem- bers. Joan Tavis serves ably as co-president. Everyone agrees that the warm, friendly person- ality of Miss Birnbaum is one of the club’s big- gest assets. Her talent for dressing up unusual dances has proved invaluable. 144 GYM AIDES ONE reason for the excellent organization of the girls' gym classes is the presence of the Gym Aides. This group comprises sopho- more, junior and senior girls who take an interest in sports and who show ability in leadership. As the head of the Gym Aides, one of the two largest girls' organizations in Hempstead High School, Dawn Mclnerny merits much credit for her efficient leadership. As the girls, who give up so many free periods a week, perform their duties, they are incited by the desire for the H which a girl receives after a certain number of points has been earned. A Gym Aide is rated according to the time devoted, her cooperation with the gym teacher and the other aides, her appearance, knowledge of rules, and her general attitude. Left to right. Row I: S.

Dinkelacker, J. VanBuskirk, K. Cole- man. P. Carroll, T. Beroza, J. Schweizer, P. Hathway, L. Schlosser, C. Scarinzi, M. Bligh, C. Mul6, J. Riesterer. Besides assisting the gym teacher, a gym aide is also expected to help girls who have difficulty with a certain activity. Since there are about six aides in each gym class, the duties are divided accordingly. In addition to supervising locker rooms, taking attendance, and preparing the respective equipment, a Gym Aide must also be familiar with the rules of the sports, because she is expected to supervise such indoor sports as basketball and volleyball, and such outdoor sports as hockey, fieldball, and softball. The Gym Aide Organization is a great help not only to the teacher but also to the various gym classes. Moreover, girls who intend to make Physical Education their career have the oppor- tunity of gaining experience in teaching and leading a group of girls. It is gratifying for our girls' gym teachers to see their assistants carry- ing out their many tasks with such ardor, and making it possible for the distaff side of our Physical Education system to function as smoothly as it does. 145 146 Left to right.

GIRLS' SPORTS LEADERS '■— NE of the highest honors attainable for a Hempstead girl is V— to become a sports leader. The girls' physical education in- structors annually make careful selections of dependable and skillful girls. This year, the position of Gym Aide head is held by Dawn Mc- Inerny. Arlene O Neil is student chairman of the Greek Games. Vivacious Jeanne Haste and Jeanette Oliver are co-captains of our cheerleader corps. Edna Heuffner represents the Modern Dance Club. Jean Ten Brock leads bowling. Basketball is led by Nelda Din- kelacker. Katherine Gay leads softball, while June Armstrong repre- sents badminton. Elaine Peatfield leads archery. The Girls' Riding Club is headed by Eguestrian Madeline Chini. Hockey is led by Cynthia Hill. The girls' gym system owes much to these energetic senior girls. Left to right. Row 1: E.

ARCHERY ’ 1 I SHOT an arrow into the air; it fell to earth 1 know not where.'1 | We all recognize these words as coming from the pen of Long- fellow, and, famous as they are, they are definitely not applicable to the archery team of Hempstead High. In its second year, this popu- lar girls group is rapidly developing. Miss Prediger, a skillful bow- woman, is director of this group. Elaine Peatfield is leader, or sagit- taria maxima of the team. An intra-squad tournament was held as one of the season's high- lights. Elaine Peatfield was the winner, with Doris Petersen runner-up. Archery playday was held at Great Neck with three other schools, and Hempstead s archerettes made a fine showing. Archery has gotten a good start and we wish Miss Prediger the best of luck.

BASKETBALL Q ASKETBALL ranks highest on the list of girls' sports in popularity, D testified to by the enthusiasm with which Hempstead's girl cagers take part in the game. This year, the top junior-senior team was led by Audrey Thaw, while the top sophomore team was led by Rhoda Thaw. Both teams went to Great Neck to compete against their top ranking girls. Mrs. Reichert, Miss MacCallum, and Miss Prediger head the junior-senior, sophomore, and freshman groups respectively. This year's successes were encored by Audrey and Rhoda Thaw, whose sophomore and freshman teams were tops a year ago. Pat Hathway also served as team captain this year. At the end of the season, numerals and letters were awarded to deserving girls, with Audrey Thaw's team winning the tournament. 147 Left to right. Row I: R. Dorsey, D. Robinson, M. Moores. K. Gey, Y.

GIRLS' SOFTBALL ANY female is probably dangerous with a formidable weapon in her grasp, and in the case of the girls' softball team, the weapon is a bat, and the victim is that poor softball. Of course, the elusive melon sometimes defeats the purpose of the carefully aimed bat, but these girls get their share of good whacks in. In any event, all the girls have a good time. Joan Collins was 1950 leader of softball. Miss MacCallum and Miss Prediger supervise the sport. Class tournaments were held, with Joan Collins' team emerging triumphant. Playday in Hempstead was another highlight of the season. Katherine Gay is 1951 leader of softball. BOWLING CLUB THE secret of bowling's popularity is that any- one can bowl. Therefore, the sport has an enthusiastic following among the girls of Hemp- stead High. A junior-senior group and a sopho- group function throughout the fall semester. The highest average in the junior-senior group was compiled by Shirley Spuhler, whose mark was 112. Leader Jean Ten Broeck rolled III. Fran Thompson, Madeline Case, and Barbara Moseman followed. The top sophomore average was compiled by Barbara Payne, who broke an even 100. Many enthusiastic girls participate in bowling every year, a tribute to the coaching of Misses Rowles and Silver. 148 RIDING CLUB BADMINTON EVERYONE enjoys the sight of a graceful girl who is a good horsewoman. 45 such girls are members of Hempstead's Girls' Riding Club. Every Wednesday in the Fall and Spring, these girls ride horses from the Mayfair Riding Club, learning pointers about expert horsemanship. Madeline Chini is leader of this group. Miss Prediger and Miss Marion instruct the girls. Ac- tivities are carried on until Thanksgiving and after Easter. The club was blessed with consis- tently favorable weather. Plans for the immedi- ate future include a hayride in June. The Girls' Riding Club continues to develop and train girls who aspire to be expert equestrian-ettes. BADMINTON has rapidly developed into one of the more popular of the girls' sports. It is organized under the leadeship of Miss Mac- Callum. June Armstrong is the leader of this sports. Juniors and seniors play on Tuesdays and Thursdays; lower classmen on Mondays and Wednesdays. A round robin doubles tournament was the highlight of the badminton schedule. Winning teams, from freshman to senior, were; Pat Shan- non and Doris Bernecki, Sue Cochran and Irene Butterworth, Mary Schuman and Lillian Schlosser (tie), Helen Cochran and Stephanie Polack, June Armstrong and Mary Edwards.

In the spring of 1950, Hempstead High School held its Greek Games Festival, an athletic contest held in the boys' gym, which was transformed into an Olym- pic plain. This time, Dionysus, god of drama and vegetation, was honored. Recognition was given, not only for excellence in athletic ability, but also for art and literature. Sophomore Carole O Brien was honored for her composition of the winning ode. The design of the program cover was done by sophomore Gail Moore, and freshman Jeanne Elflein drew the prize chariot design. Commencing the Games, the colorful entrance of the freshman and sophomore athletes was made, preceding the appearance of the glee club singing the Greek National Anthem and Floods of Spring.” Original dances in honor of Dionysus, god of the vine, featuring Joan Tavis as Dionysus, Grace Pinn as the Evil Spirit, and Katherine Gay, Rose Gteve, and Doris Bedell were presented by the Modern Dance Club. The athletic events of the evening began with hurdling for form, and freshman Mary Menke- wich was the winner of this initial event. The freshmen won their second victory in a row when Barbara Kohanowich displayed the best F. Sullivan. form in discus throwing. The sophomores won their first event when Helen Langlois and Evelyn Spesak led their hoop teams to victory. One of the evening's most exciting events was torch rac- ing, and both the freshman and sophomore teams scored, with Della Ebron and Joan Bernecki serv- ing respectively as captains. The presentation of the chariot exhibitions, colorful and original, was another triumph for the freshman team. The vic- torious group included charioteer Gail Anderson and horses Betty Ann Baker, Lynne Horsfield, Janet Martz, and Dale Molter. Ending the ath- letic competition was the chariot race, and the freshman team won again, with Gail Anderson Horses, left to right: H. Brown, C. Harbolis, E. Prober, T. Beroza. Charioteer: G.

Officiating over the solemn wreath ceremony were sophomore priestess Florence Thompson and freshman priestess Nancy Novarine. They presented laurel wreaths to the winners of each competitive event. After the announcement by the judges of the final score, which showed the freshmen winning by a 53-4 count, the winners led the athletes from the floor in victorious jubilance. Thus the Greek Games of 1950 were onded. This victory was the fourth in fifteen years for the freshmen. Sponsoring and directing these games are Miss MacCallum, Miss Birnbaum, and Miss Prediger, instructors of the Girls' Physical Education Department. The student chairman was Audrey Fremgen. The 1951 Games will be in honor of Zeus, the king of all the gods. Included in the program will be a dance representing the sparkling constel- lations appearing from the jet black depths of night. Once again, the girls of the Modern Dance Club are responsible for the creation and staging of such gala presentations as the afore- mentioned. As in the past, we are confident that the combined efforts of the girls' gym instruc- tors, the ingenuity of the upper-class girls, and the skill and cooperation of the competing fresh- man and sophomore classes will continue to make the Greek Games Festivals the successes they have been. The hearty congratulations of the school go to the girls' physical education system for producing these annual spectacles, which are always so very enjoyable. 151 Late Sports Review Special Events Sports and Campus Patrols Dances Custodians Commencement FEATURES • BUSINESS DIRECTORY A P 90-01 Sutphin Boulevard Garden City 7-6520 Jamaica 2, N.

Tiger teams have been faring well this spring and in no sport is our school's record any worse than even. The sports picture as of May 1st is as follows: BASEBALL: Tiger pitching has shown the way in the diamond campaign to date. With a record of 4 and 3 our club is still very much in the running for the championship in a tight league race. In a tense pitching duel with Freeport, Schues- sler's boys led by Bob Lloyd fought to a 0-0 stand-all. Another contest ended on a wrong note as Burt Rich was the loser despite hurling a no-hitter. Most recently in a lengthy twelve inning duel Rich and Lloyd combined to shutout Baldwin 3 to 0. TRACK: A ter four dual meets the Blue and White tradesmen find themselves with a record of two victories and two defeats. In the most recent contest, although fighting hard all the way they were edged by a strong Mepham out- fit, holding 28 straight victories. Led by Captain Don Jackson who is still undefeated in the 440 the entire squad is eagerly awaiting the sec- tionals. SOFTBALL: By all indications Hempstead's softball forces may finally win the coveted league championship that has been escaping their grasp for the past few seasons. Coached by Mr. Keenan, the team is currently undefeated in league play and in sole possession of first place. GOLF: Led by Captain Eugene Silverstrone the Tiger golfers are undefeated in league play and have won two non-league matches for a total of seven straight triumphs. With Mr. Faust's coaching the linksmen have played some fine golf and are hopeful of copping the champion- ship. A three to two victory over defending champion Lawrence has been the key triumph of the season to date. TENNIS: With the season a little more than half completed, Mr. Menza's boys are holding a three to two record in league play. The net- men, led by Don Arnaud and Les Schulman, are looking better match by match. 160 ALL UNDER ONE ROOF JOHNNY'S MARKET Delicatessen - Meats - Poultry Groceries and Frosted Foods 456 NASSAU ROAD ROOSEVELT, N.

Only great talent, practice, and superior instruction could be responsible for such beautiful music. One of the most outstanding performances given by these talented students was their par- ticipation in a concert at Carnegie Hall. To some of us giving up Saturday mornings and vacations would seem like a hardship. But, to these students, it is just a means of practicing without interruption as is the case during the regular school day. One of the means of bolstering these students to greater achievements is the appearance of guest conductors and artists such as Mr. Milton Forstat, conductor of the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Leon Barzin, conductor of the National Orchestral Association, and others. From these artists, the students acquire artistic achievements they would not otherwise receive. One of the thrills at the Winter Concert was the recordings made by the Voice of America. They made a complete recording of the concert and then interviewed a group of students who were of foreign-born parents. By this they wanted to show the people of other nations the oppor- tunities offered to school children in the United States. Our greatest thanks to the music department for the job they have performed in making our high school orchestra outstanding. 162 D. A. ELDREDGE, Inc.

SPORTS PATROL AT the football games, some people get a sudden urge to try commando tactics in order to see the game. Leaping over the fence is only one of the tricks in their repertoire. But much to the disappointment of some, this isn't at all easy. In the first place, the watchful eyes of the Sports Patrol prevent them from doing anything they might be sorry for later on. These boys, carrying out their duties to the best of their ability, are proud to be members of the oldest police force at our football games. We advise not trying to enter a game ille- gally because you won t even get within ten feet of the fence, and even if you do, there is a chance that you will end up with a torn pair of slacks. These boys are only doing their job, and are doing it well. Est. 1913 Hempstead 2-4465 -4 I.

A GREAT amount of praise must be accred- ited to the Rifle Club and Team for its fine work. In the past few years, Hempstead has produced the finest rifle teams on Long Island. Backing up these young boys and girls are Mr. Voorhies and Mr. Wickham, whose tireless efforts in promoting riflery have been responsible for the success of the team. Pictured above, with his eye pinned on his favorite rifle, is Dick Oman, one of the finest marksmen ever produced by Hempstead. His 193 will go down as one of the best scores in high school history. With a grin on his face, Mr. Voorhies views Dick, with Charles Maass, a mem- ber of the team, looking on. An interesting feature of the club, of which these boys are members, is that they can shoot inexpensively with rifles provided by the school. There is a spirit among these riflers which is surpassed almost nowhere. To Dick Oman, their captain, we offer our praise and congratulations.

TOY LIFT DANCE ON November 10th, 800 students packed the boys gym for the Toy Lift Dance, which was sponsored by the Student Council. A total of 2,000 cakes of soap, one hundred pounds of clothing, and three hundred toys were donated. These gifts were distributed by the American soldiers in the American zone of Berlin at Christ- mas parties. Herman Stenzler, blind accordionist, and his orchestra provided the entertainment. The danc- ing continued from 2:30 to 5:30. From the great total of gifts 39 full packages were made up. They were wrapped by members of the German Club. Accompanying these packages were let- ters written by the German classes. The large attendance and the great enthusiasm shown at the dance proved conclusively that school spirit at Hempstead is far from lacking.

COACH SCHUESSLER MAYBE we missed that first down by inches; maybe that called third strike looked low. Such minor catastrophes make the life of Coach Bob Schuessler an unusually eventful and sometimes agonizing one, but the colorful Hemp- stead alumnus thrives on such an existence. Be- sides coaching varsity football and baseball, Mr. Schuessler teaches General Science and Earth Science. He is one of Hempstead's most popular teachers. Mr. Schuessler is one of Hempstead's out- standing alumni. His college education was ob- tained at Manhattan, RPI, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Hofstra. Bob was a member of the U. S. Navy for four years. His favorite hobby is strictly sports, but he likes to work around the house, as most men do. Mr. Schuessler has a very lovely wife and a three- year-old son, who is the apple of his daddy's eye. The Schuesslers, along with Mr. and Mrs. Keenan, are members of the Schuessler and Keenan Once-a-Week Bridge Club.

OLD CLOTHES DAY RAGS to buy! Rags to buy! The familiar cry of the rag-man went unheeded, for indeed, rags were in great demand on the traditional Old Clothes day at school. Attics were ran- sacked for that old skirt and blouse and those old beat-up trousers. Smart apparel was defi- nitely not chic and milady joined the ranks of the raggle-taggle gypsies, while her swain, dressed like a tatterdemalion, looked more like an urchin playing hooky than a smoothie col- legian. While this unique Hempstead custom is restricted to seniors, some underclassmen join the parade. We wonder what desires are ful- filled by wearing old clothes. It is a revolt against fastidious dressing; a desire to be more than casual in appearance, or is it just a contrasting prelude to Dress-Up Day, when these same stu- dents come to school dressed to the teeth or rather dressed to kill?

SHAMROCK HOP THIS year the cheerleaders and the Varsity Club staged a dance in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Friday evening, March 16. 1951 in the boys' gym, the gala affair took place. Bill Lotoke and his band supplied the music for the dance. A Charleston contest was held and judged by two very wonderful dancers, Phyllis Gehrig and Donald Weissmuller. Before the contest started, they very graciously consented to dance for us, and were received with tremendous applause. At the end of the evening a Saint and Sinner were crowned. The president of the Student Council, Dick Oman, found himself as the Sinner and his date, Barbara Balls as the Saint. Everyone had a good time and regretted see- ing the night come to a close. Homeward bound, they thought of the wonderful time they had. Our thanks go to the boys and girls who worked hard to make the dance a success.

FACULTY-VARSITY GAME AS usual, the most exciting game played during the basketball season was that be- tween the masculine side of our faculty and the varsity basketball team. Led by a very capable band leader, a group of hoboes'1 lent added enjoyment to the occasion by playing on their so-called instruments. This year we were proud to have the thing visit our school. Mr. Zara, dressed as a hula dancer, displayed his talents by refereeing the game. A group of masked teachers cheered for the faculty. Despite the masks, we are sure we could do a bit of black- mailing. We noticed a few of the faculty cheer- leaders chewing bubble gum. An exciting game, it was brought to an end with the faculty out in front. Everyone had a good time and no one will forget the little varsity cheerleader who stole Mr. Zara's grass skirt, causing an uproar from the spectators. Phone: Baldwin 3-8686 Lie.

COLONIAL TEA LAST year, about the first of May, all the members of the Colonial Staff met in Room 16 for their annual Colonial Tea. This was the day on which all the members, editors especially, were able to sit back and relax, for at last the hurry, scurry and excitement of producing a yearbook was over. The Hempstead High School 1950 Colonial was completed and ready for distribution among the eager students. This book was dedicated to Miss Camille Yilek for her long years of service to Hempstead Public Schools. At the tea she was presented the first Colonial. The presentation of the first copy was made by Doris Anderson, the Editor- in-chief. Copies were also presented to mem- bers of the administration and to the advisors of the Colonial. After this, refreshments were served and the rest of the afternoon was thor- oughly enjoyed by everyone. NASSAU MUTUAL FUEL CO.. Inc. THE NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO.

CUSTODIANS HAVE you ever noticed the snow-covered walks as you leave school and then upon returning the next day found them clear? The shining windows and the waxed floors? The broken lockers which are fixed without a com- plaint? The green lawns in the spring? This is the work of the custodians. We are thankful for the blazing fires which keep us warm throughout the day. There aren't enough words of thanks for our custodians. They are always on hand to help us with our problems. The beautiful flowers around the flagpole are the result of the work of the custodians. Let's remember that they have their jobs to do and let's help them as much as possible. It isn't asking very much that we walk on the sidewalks or throw our old papers in receptacles. We should be glad to do our part in keeping Hempstead High School neat.

This popular junior made his first appearance with the orchestra in his freshman year and has performed with it yearly since that time. He is a member of the orchestra, honor club, and many other organizations at Hempstead. His career as a soloist began when he played the Mendelssohn piano concerto in his fresh- man year. At the Music Department's final con- cert last year, he played the first movement of Schumann's piano concerto with the high school orchestra. He had played previously in the two- piano arrangement of the Carnival of the Ani- mals in March of that year. Larry has also been a popular attraction at the G. O. assemblies. The proof of his outstanding ability at the key- board came this year when he was asked to appear at the Town Hall, New York, with the Little Symphony Orchestra. FRANK E.

H. S. Sea Spray'' [) was the theme of the Junior Prom held Saturday evening, June 24, 1950. The boys' gym was transformed into a huge ship with fish and nets about the place. The dance band was situated in an attractive sea shell. Fran Wood and her capable staff of juniors worked unceasingly for many weeks preparing the set. Jeanne Haste and her crew planned the entrance. Under Cleo Harbolis' direction, a crew of energetic juniors decorated the ship gaily to make the trip delightful. Louise Berardi and her mates were in charge of table decora- tions and refreshments. Taking this pleasure cruise and drinking cool punch on a warm June night was an experience out of this world. Dancing to the beautiful music on the decks was an enchanting dream. No one who took the cruise on June 24th will ever forget the grand time he had. NEEDLECRAFT MFG. CO. 516 EAST 162nd STREET MOLLINEAUX ZIMINSKI Fuel Oil - Oil Burners and Service LeROY D.

Even the fact that Hempstead High has a large stu- dent body doesn't seem to perturb these boys. Trying to keep our eager students inside the school at the right time and also outside the school at the right time gives them an oppor- tunity to show their skill in handling students. However, we must remember that the members of the Campus Patrol are just as human as we are and we should help Ihem as much as we can. Don't ever think they are trying to be mean when they ask you to stay outside until the bell rings, because they also have to stand in the rain to make sure a few smarties don't try to sneak in. Our thanks go to Mr. Fish for training these boys to help maintain a code of good conduct in Hempstead High School. Hempstead 2-3641 Res.

SENIOR FROSH DAY EARLY each fall, the halls of Hempstead High School are transformed into a scene typical of a kindergarten. Baby-faced girls roam the corridors carrying rattles and lollipops which are liquidated by motherly girls carrying dolls. What is it? Why the annual senior-frosh day. This is the day set aside by the seniors, to wel- come their little sisters, the freshmen, into our high school. At the close of the day, when the supply of lollipops has dwindled and classtime is over, a gala party is staged in the boys' gym. The band strikes up a lively march and the freshman girls don their prettiest smiles and parade in front of the senior judges. With much difficulty, the frosh with the prettiest smile, the most sophisticated, the most typical, etc., are chosen. After prizes are awarded and pictures taken, the entire fresh- man class feels truly initiated into high school. 188 Compliments of H. HOLLY PATTERSON SHOP AT BUTLER BROTHERS Tel.

These were student council members who had taken their detective kits out of mothballs to hunt for some of Hempstead's talent. A few days later they sealed themselves behind locked doors, paper and pencil in hand. When they emerged they had the plans for the annual G. O. talent assembly. Sheldon Bloom wrote the resulting script. M. C. Paul Mitchell portrayed a graduate look- ing back over his years at Hempstead High. For the opening number on the program, Mae Carpenter did a tap dance, after which Barbara Brooks sang. Larry Wasserman played a piano selection. He was followed by Bill Lotacke, ac- cordionist, playing a medley of tunes. Next came Gertrude Lent’s singing. The show ended with a school room scene. Hempstead High is brimming over with hidden talent. Through the efforts of the Student Coun- cil, we are enabled to discover some of it.

We think of our friends who will leave us and go on to new and exciting experiences. Every- one looks forward to commencement; but when the time comes, his thoughts turn back to his first day in Hempstead High. The frightened looks on the faces have changed to smiles of confidence. Then of course there were dances and football games where all had such good times. If only this could go on forever! But as all good things must end, so do the careers of boys and girls as students of our school. The world awaits our adults of tomorrow. The memories of their school days will long be remembered as some of the happiest times of their lives. They leave high school confident of their success in the world, because they know that with the knowledge gained in high school, their future is destined to be bright. CHIN LEE CO., Inc.
