NO doubt most of the students in Hempstead High School are familiar with Mr. Windt, our new assistant to the principal, whose job it is to supervise the work of office two. Mr. Windt and the members of his department are in charge of the discipline and attendance problems of the student body. The athletic program of the school is supervised by Mr. Windt who in addition authorizes the formation of new clubs and organizations. Extracur- ricular activities and records pertaining to the point system are also under his juris- diction. Hailing from Rochester, Mr. Windt came to Hempstead High in 1939 after gradu- ating from Cornell and obtaining his Mas- ter's at Columbia. Prior to his present posi- tion, he taught mathematics in our school and has been faculty advisor of the Pre- Engineering Club in previous years. Besides enjoying music, Mr. Windt, a Yankee fan, is interested in sports, especially bowling and hiking. He is also co-author of the book, Everyday Algebra. We wish him well in his new position. 16

OFFICE SECRETARIES THE school secretaries in offices two, three, four and five who work as assistants to the administration have many responsibilities which require a great deal of skill and abi ity. These ladies are kept constantly busy with their numerous tasks and are considered by their superiors to be invaluable. The counsellors are able to spend more time solving serious, individual problems while the time-saving secretaries assist stu- dents with clerical problems. These problems can usually be taken care of in a matter of minutes without disturbing any of the immediate superiors. Among their other duties, the secretaries do some bookkeeping, make appoint- ments, adjust schedules, type notices, file records and perform other general jobs. Their many duties provide a great amount of work and leave little time for leisure during the school day; yet a few of the young women attend night classes at college. Below are pictured these helpful young women. Miss Merrick and Miss Ronnerman are assistants to Mr. Pill in office five. Miss Rich and Mrs. Pashley are the assistants to our principal in office three. In office four you will find Miss Kubick, Miss Kinsey and Miss Duryea always ready to introduce you to the personnel of their office. Last but not least is Miss Ward, assistant in office two. Sometime during your career in High School you will have occasion to meet and be helped by these assistants.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS THE administrative assistants work many hours to enable our students to outline their courses in accordance with their fu- ture plans and to help them with their school problems. Mrs. Foster, Dean of Girls, helps girls with attendance, and other school prob- lems; in addition she supervises their gen- eral conduct. Mrs. Foster also works with the teachers in regard to their attendance registers. This year Mr. Pill advises the Junior and Senior college preparatory students and assists them in the selection of colleges suitable to their individual needs. The schedules of upperclassmen in the Commercial and General courses are ar- ranged by Mr. Turnbull who helps them select those subjects best suited for their chosen vocations. Miss MacDougall, Sophomore counselor, assists the members of the Sophomore class in planning their program and conducts periodic personal interviews. The Freshmen are counseled by Mr. Wat- son and Mr. Prahl who endeavor to start them off in the right direction. The guidance department and teachers may refer students with personality or study problems to Mrs. Walters, the school psy- chologist. Mrs. Walters also gives individual aptitude tests. Mrs. Hueston, Registrar, sends tran- scripts of school records to colleges where our students seek admission. Mr. E. C. Moore trains the Audio-Visual Squad in the handling of the film and sound equipment in room 18a. Louise Hueston Anne MacDougall James Turnbull Hazel Foster Emilie Walters 17
