WILLIAM D. BEDDOW Principal OMMENCEMENT this year will bring to a close Mr. Beddow's second year as principal of Hempstead High School. Although being principal of a school as large as ours is no easy iob, Mr. Beddow finds sufficient time to be a member of the Masons, Kiwanis, Alpha Tau Omega international fraternity, American Association of School Administrators and other professional associations. Raised on Long Island, Mr. Beddow claims the University of Madrid and Muhlen- berg University as his alma mater. At the present time, he is seriously concerned with the problem of improving schedules once the registration decreases. He is looking forward to longer class periods, supervised study facilities, and the elimination of over-crowded study halls. Although he has numerous responsibilities, Mr. Beddow finds recreation in bowling and badminton during the winter months, and in the warmer weather he may be found with a fishing pole anywhere where there are water and fish.
