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.
