HENEVER a problem arises that requires the attention of the Board of Education, we can be sure that its members are immediately busy at work, giving all their time and effort to serve the community with a fair and iust de- cision. Their work is aided greatly by the serv- ices of the superintendent of schools. The board comprises five members, each of whom is chosen for a term of five years by the taxpayers of the Village of Hempstead. One new member is elected each year. Their meet- ings are held regularly once a month in the superintendent's office, and special meetings are called whenever the necessity arises. Each year the members of the board are en- trusted with the expenditure of thousands of dollars which are used wisely in order to benefit the schools of this community. The board also decides the policies by which all the schools under its iurisdiction shall be run, and it is the final governing power of our school system. Our sincere thanks go to the board for its devotion to the cause of education.

Health and Physical Fitness Mrs. Marsden gels the measurements. NE division of the Physical Education department is the nurse's ofhce. Here every student gets an annual medical ex- amination. The nurse's oftice also takes care of all first aid in the school and such minor maladies as headaches and stomach aches. Another division of the Physical Educa- tion department are the boys' and girls' gymnasium. The girls' gym is usually buzz- ing with activities. About the middle of the school year, preparation begins in the girls' gym for Greek Games. A popular activity with the girls, it is modeled after the games of the ancient Greeks. The boys play basketball, baseball, and football in the appropriate seasons. The boys are encouraged to try out for the school teams. The healthful aspect of physical edu- cation is very important, for a growing body needs exercise. Aside from the healthful points, it is necessary because it promotes a sense of fair play and team- work among the students. lt acquaints them with the disappointment of losing, the ioy of winning and the acceptance of both with poise and dignity.
