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.

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.

Cffice Staff C Even a paper shortage can- not daunt our indispensable office staff, which capably handles all the details threat- ening the smooth routine of our school. For twenty years registrar and principal emeritus Mr. lames C. Nelson has served Salem High School. Always pursuing knowledge, Iim1'nie is now reviewing Portuguese and Spanish. Smiling Miss Myrtle McClay, office secretary, is envied by everyone for her ability to be on hand bright and early every morning. Miss McClay is a graduate of Salem High. Her pet hobby is cooking. Newcomer to the staff is Miss Aileen Lineback, a Baby Snooksu fan, who has served one year as efficient assistant secretary. Cafeteria Staff Feeding six hundred students aday, five days a week, thirty- six weeks a year is no simple task, even for such an exper' enced hash-slinger as our ow Burton K. Pop Crary. Pop , manager and head chef of the cafeteria, has been assisted during the past year by Mrs. Marie lackson, Mrs. Katherine Wodaege, and Earl Kleen, kitchen apprentice, who, in turn, have been aided and abetted by a score of chic, blue-aproned student assist- ants. Custodians The principal duty of our genial and hard-working jani- torial torce is the upkeep and preservation of the school and the surrounding grounds. Suc- cess in this field requires not only a certain flair for wield- ing a broom or blackboard eraser, but also a dependable sense of humor, especially since most of us are all too prone to disregard the basic purposes of the many waste- paper containers that these custodians have supplied in our school. oi
