In the classes of these subjects, the students are able to gain much understanding of the cultural and political backgrounds of both the Uni- ted States and Europe. Since no one will disagree with the fact that a brilliant mind needs a healthy body, our faculty also boasts of several physical education teachers. In conclusion we must admit that every student graduates from Hempstead High as a well-rounded citizen. This is due to the diligent and faithful work of our faculty. We are deeply grateful to our faculty for the education and preparation they have given us so that we may be able to face the future years knowing that we have been afforded the opportunity to learn.
