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

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
