The counselors work together with the individual student and his par- ents in channeling the student's aims and abilities into the proper courses of study. Freshmen are advised by Mr. Prahl, and Sophomores by Miss MacDougall. Mr. Pill advises the academic juniors and seniors as to the requirements of a college or university. Commercial and vocational juniors and seniors are aided by Mr. Turnbull in choos- ing a vocational school or in securing a position. Every student has had occasion to use Hemp- stead High’s well stocked libraries. Miss Rhodes is in charge of ordering all the new library books and supervising the main library; Mrs. Cullen the senior library, and Mrs. Anderson the textbook section of this very efficient department.

UeJ PHYSICAL education and health are both very necessary for the proper functioning of our school. The health office is the infirmary for anything from a broken arm to a stomach ache, thus ren- dering first aid to the teachers, students and custodians. Here, cases are handled by either Miss Best, the school nurse, or Doctor S. A. Combes, our school physician. Another division, the Physical Education De- partment, consists of the boys' and girls' ath- letic activities. The boys' predominant sports are football and basketball followed by wrestling, bowling, track, and softball. The girls take part in softball and basketball, but nothing is more exciting than their prepara- tions for Greek Games. Therefore, you can see why health and physical fitness go hand in hand in establishing sound citizens. B. Voorhies gives R. Campanella medical aid. John Streeter and Raymond Meyer practice calisthenics in Mr. Krause's gym class. 23

AN important part in the administration of our school is performed by the clerks and secretaries in each office. These girls are well informed on matters concerning the school and its students. All records and transcripts are handled by the secretaries in office 1A. Mrs. Siegmann, also located there, is the student activities treasurer and handles all school banking. Mrs. Pashley and her assistant, Evelyn Wolf, find themselves busy taking care of the swi'chboard and attend- ing to Mr. Beddow’s official bus'ness. In office 2, the girls take charge of all the typing and cor- respondence. In offices 4 and 5, they take change of all correspondence and filing pertaining to guidance. Also, they arrange student interviews, in order to help the students plan for the future. To obtain their position in the school's admin- istration, all of them have taken Civil Service Examinat’ons. These girls have been picked on the basis of appearance, personality and training in business education. They have proven themselves to be efficient, polite and courteous. an i Secret a ri eA Left to right. Row I: Eileen Brennan, May Duryea, Jane Merrick.
