SENIORS, “your goal is your life. That was the motto to be symbolic of your outlook on life after leaving Hempstead High. Your flower was the White Rose. Blue and silver was your choice of colors to be representative of the Class of '57 graduated in June. Leading your senior class was Johnny Edwards, President. His leadership was not confined to this position. He was co-captain of our varsity football squad, four year member of the Honor Club, three year member of the Student Council, sports editor of the Patriot and president of his Junior Class. In addition, he still found time to pursue such interests as swimming and learning the Cha-Cha. Working right along with Johnny, as vice- president was versatile, active Brenda Baskind. She held the office of secretary of your class when you were juniors. She was art editor of the Patriot. Brenda made a great cheerleader. You were proud to have her represent the school as Miss Arnold Constable.” Sally Dunmore, class secretary, held the same position in her sophomore year. In her junior year, she headed the Colonial art staff. Along the same line, Sally was a member of the Sketch Club. Much of her spare time was spent par- ticipating in the band show and following hob- bies, such as music and art. Popular George Bookie Bookhard was elected as your class treasurer. He was known to many in the past as an asset to the basketball team, of which he was captain the senior year. ADVISORS Left to right: Mr. lints, Mrs. Dendy, Mr. Lawson. There were other people who helped you to make your many contributions to Hempstead High. There was your Booster Club president. Student Council president, Patriot editor, and the Colonial editor. You owed a great deal to your chief class advisor Mr. Lints; the other advisors, Mrs. Dendi and Mr. Lawson; and your guidance counselors, Mr. Pill and Mr. Turnbull. All those people and activities helped mold you so that when you said, Your goal is your Life, you had a high goal in mind. M. Binday, D. Richardson, B. Faust, S.

Senior Executive K ounci DEMOCRACY in the senior class is provided by the Senior Executive Council, which is composed of representatives chosen in Septem- ber by each American History class. The Council works for the benefit of the seniors, and decides their schedule of activities for the year. It only acts upon those activities which are approved by the class as a whole. The officers of the senior class this year, who took their positions on the Council and assumed the great responsibility of keeping this democ- racy, were John Edwards, president; Brenda Bas- kind, vice-president; Sally Dunmore, secretary, and George Bookhard, treasurer. Under the excellent guidance of Mr. Lints, the council ful- filled ils responsibility with great success. This year the D. A. R. and S. A. R. awards were given to the senior girl and boy who were the most outstanding in their class. The senior class motto, flower and color were suggested by the class, and the council selected the best three in each field and the seniors voted on them. The theme of the Senior Ball was chosen mainly by the Art Department and the Senior Executive Council. The council decided on the three themes it would prefer and the Art De- partment picked the one that would be the most suitable. This dance is one of the main events in the senior year. This year the Council decided on Senior Week, a week devoted mainly for the interest and en- joyment of the senior class. Another day eagerly awaited by all classes, whether freshman, sopho- more, junior or senior, and carried out under the excellent supervision of the council, was Senior-Frosh Day. This year, as always, the Senior Executive Council has successfully guided its fellow class- mates through another year. It has proven that it can undertake and complete the problems and activities facing the senior class with little diffi- culty and great efficiency. 30
