CLd.mZni4f4aCion School Board In every walk of life, in any govern- ment of any kind, there will always be found one group of individuals who are responsible, clear thinking and far- sighted. An acknowledgment of the services that have been rendered can, in some measure, repay that group of individ- uals. To the School Board, through whose efforts the Olinger and Leslie play- grounds have been opened and who have directed Salem schools to higher standards, the school extends its sincere thanks. Members of the School Board for this year are: Mr. E. A. Bradfield, Mrs. David S. Wright, Mr. Frank Neer, Mr. Walter Minier, Dr. B. F. Pound. eight I Principal Emeritus A tribute of recognition, a tribute of admiration, a tribute of respect, if ever deserved, is won by the individual who puts a sincere heart and soul into the tasks of life. Mr. james C. Nelson, philosopher and author, has endowed the students of Salem I-lighSchool for the past seven- teen years with an inspiration, with an understanding of life that will never cease to exist. He has molded in the minds of youth the one monument, the one tribute that will never crumble, the memory of a teacher who was a friend, the memory of one who is truly a gen- tleman and scholar.
