To the Class of "1980"
BE THE BEST
If you can't be the pine on the top of the bill Be a scrub in the valley - but be
The best little scrub by the side of the bill. Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass, And some highway happier make.
If you can't be a 11muskie," then just be a bass, But the liveliest bass in the Jake.
We can't all be captains, some have to be crew, There's something for all of us here;
There's work to be done, and we've all got to do Our part in a way that's sincere.
If you can't be a highway, than just be a trail; If you can't be the sun, be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail; Be the best of whatever you are!
Adopted from the works of Douglas Malloch

Charlie Mills, Principal
There will always be disappointments and setbacks along with tbe triumphs, but still progress goes on, and students who conquer tbe challenge of Hempstead High School will be the richer for the experience.
The year 1980 kicks off a decade of challenge and opportunity wbicb will no doubt surpass our most imaginative expectations.
The Class of 1980, weaned on the rebellious '60's and boned on tbe belt-tightened '70's, are ready to meet these years of challenge. These students have matured in a world troubled by international unrest, inflation, energy shortages and economic strife. They know there are no free rides.
Hempstead High School takes pride in having participated in their journey into adulthood. We extend warm wishes to the Class of 1980 knowing they will find tbe means to cope effectively with their world.

In Retrospect In our four years here, we have experienced many changes. HHs was a part of these changes.
New friends in a new School Co-ed Gym/swimming the arrival of new teachers the exit of others a new dean of girls Participating in the 1st district Christmas
festival. Sneaking out to smoke between classes. New rules and regulations. Loss of one boy/girl friend, the gain of
another. Struggling through Mrs. Fitzpatrick's
English 11R class.
Running through the balls at break neck speed to reach Mr. Smernoff's class on time.
Experiencing first Jove. and even the simple change of growing from Freshman to senior. In adapting to those changes, we enlarged our realm of experience.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
My years at Hempstead High have been very happy ones. I have gained much knowledge and maturity. My friendships with both students and teachers have enhanced my experiences.
Being Senior Class President has been very challenging. The help and support of those special people, who always were willing to help, made the job much easier.
To the under graduates, I'd like to say, ~'keep the faith" and always strive for excellence.
In closing, I'd like to express my thanks to everyone who bas made these 4 years at Hempstead High ones I'll always cherish.

JUNIORS
Judging by what we've seen this year, we are sure that the 1981 graduating class will be a credit to our school.
Now on their third step toward graduation, the knowledge and experience they have gained thus far will help them greatly when next year they take over the full responsibility as leaders of our school.
One of the highlights, of the year was the Talent show sponsored by the Junior class which took place in the spring to the year. The Talent show provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate their unusual talents in the area of the performing arts, and provided us with some excellent entertainment.
The Juniors were also busy ordering their class rings, taking the PSAT'S and numerous other Begents exams.
The Juniors have been very fortunate in having Rev. Jones as their advisor to assist them with their problems and activities. These activities united their class, strengthened and created friendships, and fostered memories that will never be forgotten.

SOPHOMORES
THE SOPHOMORE CLASS
Having finally been oriented to High School life, the Sophomore class demonstrated its ability to have an outstanding class.
One of the most important events on the class's calendar was the election of officers.
Under the leadership and guidance of their advisor Mrs. P. Reed, the Sophomores sold candles and stuffed animals as their yearly fund raising activity and closed their year with a Dance-A-Thorne.
With half of their school career already a thing of the past, the Sophomores still have much to look forward to.

Orchestra
Sectionals, Sectionals, Sectionals! What are they? Just ask any band or orchestra student and you will get the answer.
To these students, one of the most gratifying periods of the school day is orchestra during zero period. During that period the students Jearn the fundamentals of music both as a science and as an art.
The one person who should be given credit for the wonderful concerts and for the orchestra's prestige is their director, Mr. Ken Muller. He is assisted by the entire music faculty who serve the whole district: Adrienne Charash and Barbara Sepe, Strings; Mrs. Jeredythe Muller, Flute; Reginald Johnson, Brass.

Every member of the choir is extremely proud, not only of the ability of the group itself, but also of the music they perform, so inspiringly. A great deal of bard work and enjoyment is shared in every class and at every concert.
The choir's success can be traced to its director, Ms. Joy Peterson who gives her time and talent for the success of the choir.

What we have left is an elite group of young people who are learning to be our future leaders.

YEARBOOK
A year ago, Colonial "80" existed only in the minds of the advisors and about 20 students who became the colonial staff. Today, the Colonial "80" is s reality, not only to the staff, but to all of Hempstead.
Our goal in planning this book was to present to everyone, and especially the seniors, s Panorama of HHS which will recall to all the pleasant memories of their high school years.
This book came to be what it is today through months of contemplation and bard work. The ideas in the minds of the staff were converted into words, photography, and art work. Hours of bard work went into the designing of layouts, conducting interviews, the writing of copy, fund raising and the general preparation of the book.
Finally, you have the finished product which you now bold in your bands. A miracle at HHS bas occurred. We crested s book!
