Coming to Hemp- stead in 1922, Mr. Beddow has watched the school grow and is very much pleased with the success and standing it has maintained. Hemp- stead High has seen many good changes throughout the years and, along with Mr. Bed- dow, is eagerly awaiting the initiation and re- sults of the new schedule for next year. A graduate of Muhlenberg College, Mr. Bed- dow is very well qualified for his position at Hempstead. Despite his busy schedule, he al- ways enjoys a good basketball or football game and is duly proud of Hempstead's standing this year. As an active citixen of our community, Mr. Beddow is a member of Kiwanis, Community Chest and other professional groups. Badminton and fishing also occupy some of his leisure time. The seven years Mr. Beddow has been prin- cipal have been very profitable and memorable ones and we all hope there will be as many successful ones in the future. 12

Superintendent of Schools DR. W. AMOS KINCAID SINCE his arrival in 1947 Dr. Kincaid cer- tainly has achieved notable success as the superintendent of schools. Our schools have benefited greatly because of the limitless time and energy he has expended. He has a very vital role to play, each day different circum- stances arising which tend to make his job sometimes difficult, but always challenging. Some of his numerous responsibilities include selecting personnel, planning and supervising the district budget, visiting the schools, and frequently speaking before business and professional groups. Dr. Kincaid performs each task with the utmost capability and vigor. At the University of Ohio Dr. Kincaid ac- quired his first college degree. He earned his Master's Degree and Doctor of Education Degree at Columbia University. Shortly after, he went to Montpelier, Vermont, and remained there as the superintendent of schools for eleven years. In Summit, New Jersey, he attained once again the same position. With this excellent back- ground and wide experience we are very for- tunate to have Dr. Kincaid as our own super- intendent. Somehow Dr. Kincaid manages to find time to relax despite his busy schedule. At Cutch- ogue. Long Island, where he spends his sum- mer vacation, Dr. Kincaid has an opportunity to enjoy his favorite sports which are badminton, golf, and fishing.
