BEDDOW Principal OST students have the idea that the principal of a school is cold, austere and forbidding. By spending some time getting acquainted with the top man on the Hempstead totem pole and listening to his ideas on raising Hempstead's al- ready high standards, one discovers that such is not the case. The distinguished man in the picture, our principal, is a package of dynamic energy bursting with infinite ideas for the welfare of each student. Mr. Beddow would like all the Hempsteadites to know thai' they are under the guidance of an understanding, warm-hearted faculty. He feels fortunaie that our school has such fine students for whom the gift of cooperation is a natural. Our hard-working principal is looking forward to the day when our s:hool will no longer be bursting with an over-abundant population. He wishes to have more time given to each class, more elbow room while passing in the halls, and more space in the cafeteria. Expanding our buzzing activities is another of his ideas. Our enthusiastic response to the G. O. makes him proud. For a personal touch, Mr. Beddow'5 hobbies are reading and trout fishing. We can share his desire for a beautiful, spring schoolday, when under a large spreading oak tree beside a lovely lake with hook and line in hand he patiently awaits a bite.

DR. W. AMOS KINCAID Superintendent 0'-nu.,h,h-MNMMIW X V, - if ,, ,Zk,1EA , T is surprising the part fate plays in our daily existence. A striking example is the case of our own Dr. Kincaid, who has achieved notable success in his manifold duties. Our superintendent of schools had different aspirations when he attended college where he acquired a degree in business management. While visiting a small town, he was placed in the position of high school principal by the board of education. Among other things, he coached the girls' basketball team and dramatics. His education was then furthered at Columbia University where he received his Master's, and his Doctor of Education degree. Dr. Kincaid firmly believes in the functional side of education-making a living, living with one's self, and living with others. His daily life exemplifies his philosophy. One can readily understand why he finds it necessary to have his own hideaway in Cutchogue, where he relaxes and indulges in his favorite pastimes-fishing, golf, and a good game of bridge. I3

th , g ht 1 5. ' t f ALFRED P. WINDT Assistant to the Principal HE three people who hold immensely important positions in the running of our school are the Administrators. Mr. Windt, who is Assistant to the Principal, is, among other things, in charge of discipline and attendance. He has always been intent on teaching math, but if one brings up the subiect of math, he will produce his 'familiar smile and say, I prefer my iob as Assistant to the Principal. The Guidance Counselor, Mr. Pill, helps students to decide what college or insti- tution of higher learning they are suited for after leaving their Alma Mater. His iob is of great importance, as many students go to him for advice. Mr. Moore may tell you his main job is that of Curriculum Co-ordinator, but he will be sure to say his offshoot is that of head of Audio-Visual Aids. As co-ordi- nator, Mr. Moore integrates the work of the elementary schools with that of the high school. FRANK PILL, JR. Director of Guidance E. CARLETON MOORE Curriculum Coordinator I5
