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.

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

ART AND LITERATURE THIS busy art class, ably instructed by Mr. Pilking- ton, is working on a number of geometric figures from which they will develop an abstract design. These students work on various problems in art, solved according to their own artistic abilities and talents. Many phases of art are studied and in each phase special emphasis is placed on the individual's self expression. Our libraries, supervised by Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Cul- len and Mrs. Anderson, provide a quiet and studious atmosphere for those students who wish to do refer- ence work or just read for pleasure.
