FRFD D. NVOLF EDMUND A. C:'XRl-E'lON Principal For thirteen years the broad shoulders of Mr. Fred D. Wolf have been intermittently located behind the big desk in the inner office, and the many students Who have come to know him realize the tree rriendous amount of work that has passed through his hands. They realize that his capacities and efficiency have been the mainstay of Salem High. When not hard at Work around the Viking Villa or throughout Oregon in educational activities, Mr. Wolf finds diversion in hunting and fishing, at which, we learn, he is an expert. Dice Principal When it comes to handling diversified tasks, Mr. Edmund A. Carle- ton, assistant principal, is among the best. Rare, indeed, is the student who l'1asn't met Mr. Carleton in one channel or another-signing slips, handling the public address system, advising the ASB. council, and carrying out the other jobs that only an assistant principal can, besides teaching social science and math. lt is safe to say that the efficiency of the Fourteenth and D establishment would be vastly lowered if it Weren't for the Work of this ever present official.

Superintendent Recognized as one of the outstanding educators of the state, efficient Mr. Frank B. Bennett has now held the vital position ot superintendent ol schools tor three years.

MABEI P ROBERTSON FRANK lf. lNllfliR Dean of Girls Always busy doing something for someone else, Miss Mabel P. Robertson is genuinely admired and respected by her large 'lfamily of girls. ln her years of service to Salem High School she has achieved an enviable position of influence and importance. In the present emergency she has not only done her part as an individual, but has also encouraged girls to knit, take part in local defense work, and, incidentally, learn The Star Spangled Banner . Miss Robertson's innumerable duties, besides teaching two periods of world history, include handling the social calendar, acting as adviser to Girls' League and, of course, attending to girls' problems. Among her outside interests are reading, knitting, and other domestic pursuits. Dean of Boqs When a boy needs help with a problem, real or imaginary, he naturally turns to Mr. Frank E. Neer, Dean of Men. ln the morning Mr. Neer can be found in room lU9, where he teaches American problems, but in the afternoon he takes full possession of his dean's duties and handles, with characteristic understanding and cheerfulness, a few American problems ot his own. When he's not helping young people grow up, Mr. Neer likes to putter with the rose bed in his back yard.
