SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS— K. Weiss. J. Williamson. J. Oliver D. 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.
