WILLIAM D. BEDDOW EXT year, the name Thomas Sheldon will be a very familiar one around Hempstead High, for Dr. Sheldon will take over the reins of the school from the hands of Mr. Beddow. He comes to us from Minoa High School in Minoa, New York, where he has served as a teacher of physics, chemistry, biology, and driver educa- tion, as well as coaching the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Dr. Sheldon is a graduate of Syracuse Uni- versity, where he has earned B.S., M.S., and Ed.D. degrees. He has also returned there as a guest lecturer. In the United States Army he supervised Radio Teletype Training as an elec- tronic technician. Some of the professional or- ganizations with which he is aftiliated are the New York State Teachers Association, New York State Health and Physical Education Association, New York State Coaches Association, and the New York State Science Teachers Association. With a record such as this, there is little doubt that Dr. Sheldon will make a fine principal, and we heartily welccme him to Hempstead High. Principal ELL-KNOWN to every student at Hempstead High School is our outstanding principal, Mr. William Beddow. A graduate of Muhlenberg College, he came to Hempstead in 1922, and in the ensuing years as a teacher and then at the helm as principal, steered the school's develop- ment with masterly ability. Mr. Beddow, despite a hectic schedule, is always active, whether in community participa- tion, enioying his hobby-fishing, or cheering Hempstead's basketball or football team on to victory. Wide experience as a teacher and as a par- ent has enabled him to understand and counsel with wisdom those students who seek him out with their problems. Hempstead High School is deeply indebted to Mr. Beddow for the genuine interest and fine leadership which he has given so whole-heart- edly. After serving the students of Hempstead High with genuine interest and ability for 38 years, Mr. Beddow has decided to retire. We would like to thank him for everything he has done for us and wish him the best of luck. THOMAS D. SHELDON

EACHING is a full time iob. A teacher's day does not start with the first class and end with the last one. Every teacher takes a personal interest in each one of his students. Just about every night most teachers have a stack of homework or test papers to take home and correct. Most of the teachers at H. H. S. are also advisors to an extra- curricular club. Besides giving the student all the knowledge he has to give, the teacher tries to pro- vide his students with the incentive to learn so that the students may broaden their scope of learning. The teachers' duties never let up. They take extra courses during va- cation and summer to provide you, Mrs. Cullen helping Harvey Cohen with research work. v 3 i r y l -.1 ' r' v g J 1 1' L' his l ifvl JPLH luwnx A . 'L' i . , J.
