While our administrative staff is virtually un- changed from last year, many of its members are now working under new titles. Upon his return from military service, Dr. Thomas D. Sheldon assumed the position of Associate Superintendent of Schools, under Dr. W. A. Kincaid, who is Superintendent. Thus, the position of prinicpal of Hempstead High School was vacated, to be filled by Mr. Arthur Flax, who served last year as acting principal. Mr. Fred Pilkington, last year's acting assistant principal, is now assistant principal. . . . . . , . . It's about time wc had a man to man talk. Other members of the administration are Mr. Prahl, Director of Guidance, Miss Brennan, Dean of Girls, and Mr. Keenan, Dean of Boys.

ARTHUR J FLAX Principal From The Vice Principal To Tlx Class Of 1963 From The Principal To The Class Of 1963 AS you seniors graduate, we usually try to examine your development over the preced- ing four year period. We have a tendency to look at final results rather than to review your four years' growth. I am sure that as you review your experiences at Hempstead High School, you will see how you have grown and matured. Your educational progress and social develop- ment have been the result of a conscious effort on your part under the direction of both teachers and parents. This effort has resulted in outstanding achievements in academic pursuits, music, athletics, and other school activities. In spite of occasional grumblings, I think, that as most of you look back, you will agree that high school has been a re- warding experience. Hempstead High School will continue to bask in the glory of your future successes and achieve- ments. The school administration and faculty have enjoyed working with all of you who are mem- bers of the class of 1963. We wish you continued success in your future endeavors, both in schools of higher learning and in the world of business. IT is a pleasure to greet the class of 1963 at the time of the publication of the 1963 Colonial. The following pages reflect especially the faces and recorded highlights of an important segment of the formative years of the lives of our Senior students and provide a brief and condensed history of their aspirations, participation and achievements in the many aspects of our high school community. The 1963 Colonial is a tribute to those who are being graduated and who, in the immediate future, will travel rapidly diverging paths of many- different natures. As the passage of years dims the crystal clear recollections of today, it is hoped that these pages will provide testimony of those important events and experiences, the friendships and learning, the amusing incidents and serious decisions, which contributed in no small measure to the weaving of the fabric from which rich and full lives and real happiness have been created. FRLD PILKINGTON Vice Principal

Faculty Gains New Members A major purpose of a teacher is to maintain the highest educational standards for his pupils. Hempstead High School's faculty has never been lax in this duty. Since it is an active and robust faculty, our teachers never fail to help in- crease their pupils' knowledge and prepare them for today's world. Throughout the history of H.H.S., its faculty has played the most important role in presenting a continually improved educational program. Stu- dents representing the academic departments, for- eign language, mathematics, history, science, and English, continually win honors. The achievement of students in all departments attests to the quality education and training offered them at Hempstead. How do you spell sex appeal? 16
