They were: Clifford Belcher, Harriet Anne Clark, Thomas DeLashmit, Gladys Jane Edwards, Julia Falconbury, James Higgans, Barbara Jameison, Vernal Leathers, Eugene Lowe, Norman McRoberts, Darrell Mitchell, Wilma Rawlings, Ruby Lee Rudder, Phyllis Rush, Robert Seaton, Charles Walton, Pearl Wethington, Roxie Lee White, Maurice Wilhoite, and Joe Wyeth. Irene Robbins was the teacher and Russell Landreth, the principal. Wallace Trotter, Madonna Wethington, Karl Cram, Iramae Ray, and Katherine Hina rd entered during the year and James Higgans, Roxie White, Robert Seaton and Pearl Wethington withdrew, leaving us with twenty-two pupils at the end of the term ending April 22, 1938. When school started in the fall of 1938, the first grade had moved one door north in the grade school building. Our new teacher was Mrs. Merle Soots. The pupils were the same except for Joe Wyeth, Madonna Wethington, and Katherine Hinard. Velrna Grirnes, Louisa Leigh, Willard Walton, Luther Jones, Dessie Johnson, Betty Edwards, James Hickxnan, Lonard Basham, and Marcia Kisner entered during the year. Those who withdrew were: Clifford Belcher, Louisa Leigh, and Luther Jones. This left a total of twenty-three at the end of the term ending April Zl, 193 9. On September 1, 1939, we moved across the hall to grade three. Two of our former classmates, Wallace Trotter and Willard Walton, had moved during the sum- mer. This left us with twenty-one to start the third grade. Our teacher this year was Mrs. Mary C. Daly. Betty June Edwards and Dessie Johnson moved during the year, but Jetty Disney and Virgil Wardlow entered in their place letting us retain our same number when school was out on April 19, 1940, When school started September l, 1940, we moved two doors down and entered grade four. Our teacher, Mr. Gossett, started the year with fifteen of us. James Brennan, Virginia Lee, Kenneth Stewart, Neva Wray, Rosalea Hanks, Billy Owens, and Roy Walter entered during the year. This made a total of twenty-two fourth graders. On August 30, 1941, we walked into the grade school building and went up to the second floor and into the northwest room which was room five. The class had twenty members at the beginning of the year. During the year we had four additions, they were James Armstrong, Alberta Lovins, Virginia Johnson, and William Ashley, Those who withdrew during the year were: Norman McRoberts, Gene Revell, James Armstrong, and Alberta Lovins. This left us the total of twenty. When school opened in the fall of 1942 there were twenty of us enrolled. Elwood Kelley, Joe Hostetler, and Keith Gordon entered during the year. Miss Ruth Perci- field was our home room teacher. Later in the year William Ashley, Keith Gordon, Gladys Edwards, Donald Yeager, and Julia Falconbury withdrew, We only had seven- teen pupils enrolled when school ended on April ZZ, 1943, When school opened in the fall of 1943 we found ourselves just across the hall from the previous year under the home room teacher, Mrs. Thompson. We had heard that the seventh grade was the hardest, but that just gave us more determination. We had maintained the same seventeen students during the summer. Later in the year Martha ,Jean Baird, Lyle Gordon, Daniel Walters, and Shirley Lynch entered, but Jetty Disney, Lyle Gordon, and Wallace Trotter withdrew during the year. This left us eighteen stu-dents when school was out April Zl, 1944. 9 In the fall of 1944, we were in the room which had a big 8 on it. We worked with real interest this year because we were anxious to see what high school would be like the next year. This year we gained John Sirnon and Earl Vansickle who had decided to remain in the eighth grade. Neva Wray had moved during the summer but she rejoined us again during the year. Shirley Lynch and Earl Vansickle withdrew. This left us eighteen to enter the first year of high school. When school opened August 31, 1945 there were eighteen freshmen. We managed to survive the initiation given us by the sophomores, and fulfill our roll as high school students. Our faculty for this year was as follows: Virgil Freeman, principalg Ed- win Gossett, Elsie Thompson, Mabel Smith, Esther Rice, and Roberta Miles. Mrs. Rice was our sponsor. We had only one new student this year. He was Robert Young from Greencastle. Ruby Rudder withdrew and moved to Pittsboro. We only had one boy who made the first ten. That was Jirn Hickrnan. We were really proud of him. When school was out April Z0, 1946, we just had sixteen pupils left. Daniel Walters and John Simon had quit during the year. At the opening of school in 1946 there were sixteen students enrolled. We were on the other end of the initiation this year. Mr. Dale E, Brock was our principal this year and Mr. Ralph Bunton became the coach. Bob Young and Neva Wray with- drew during the year. This left us with fourteen pupils to start the junior year. Mrs. Rice was our sponsor again this year. When school opened in the fall of 1947, there were thirteen enrolled. We gained Dick Hancock, from Lizton, the first semester. We lost Martha Jean Baird who moved during the summer, James Brennan who quit, and then Dick Hancock quit. This year we became great actors and actresses. We presented the play, Take lt Easy, which was a very huge success. We also entertained the seniors at a re- ception in the General Brock Hotel in Ontario, Canada. Our faculty this year was -- Mr, Brock, principal, Mrs. Thompson, our sponsor, Mrs. Kloster, Mr. Bunton, Mrs. Rice, and Mrs. Bales. When school opened in 1948, we were dignified seniors. Mr. Ralph Harbison was our principal and Mrs. Kloster was our sponsor. Our other teachers were: Mr. Bunton, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Sullivan, Mrs. Bales, and Mrs. Rice. We sold cards, wrapping paper, and napkins this year to make money for our senior expenses. We were on the receiving end of the reception this year, it was given by the juniors. On May 1, 1949, our Baccalaureate was held in the Christian Church. Reverend John Deal was the speaker. On May 5, 1949, our graduation exercises were held in the high school auditorium. The speaker was Dr. Robert Hall, Chaplain of Mich- igan State Prison. We were dressed in blue caps and gowns. This ended our happy twelve years of school life and we were ready to start work in the world with much more knowledge than twelve years before. Those classmates who went all twelve years together were Wilma Rawlings, Phyllis Rush, Maurice Wilhoite, Charles Walton, Darrell Mitchell, and Vernal Leathers. 10 CLASS WILL We, the dignified Seniors of 1949, being of sound mind, do hereby ordain and establish this, our last will and testament, We will: JUNIORS To the juniors we will our seats in the assembly and also the right to sell Christmas cards and to publish next year's annual.

The University of Southern Salem and the Fighting Irish of Winchester College, two of Indiana's rival teams, are to participate in the game today. Since this is Salem's homecoming game I decided to attend this event and maybe I would see some of my old classmates. I.,et's see, it was the year 1949 when they graduated. The crowds were already filling the stands. As Imoved along slowly in line, I noticed two gentlemen and a lady ahead of me. As she turned I recognized Phyllis Rush. As Imoved closer she recognized me, so I asked her what she was doing. She told me that although she never married, she still dates Bob Porter and La- verne Davidson. She said she had never married because of her career as a con- cert pianist, and then she can't see any reason to since she is kept busy with the two of them. She figured it would not be a good plan to disappoint one of them when she couldn't marry both. She attended a musical college in Kentuckyg after graduating from there she came to Indianapolis and was recognized by the famous concert leader, Fabien Lekowsee. She has played with this orchestra several years now. I asked her about other classmates, but she told me the only one she has had any contact with is Darrell Mitchell, He is playing in the same orchestra as a vi- olinist. Darrell married the former Patricia Klein of North Salem and is now living on the outskirts of Hazelwood. He owns a large skating rink there, and the town is proud to have such a man as Darrell to promote good work in the town. After I left Phyllis I heard a great commotion behind me. I turned and a flock of teen-agers were making over some mang I imagine a celebrity. As I looked closer I thought the man looked like Elwood Kelley. I spoke and he stopped, with a good excuse to get away from the girls. He told me he played football and in the girls' opinion he was quite a star. He is now athletic director at Belleville and just recently won the National Golf Championship. Elwood has never married since he says women are such a waste of time and keep him from his important business. A few minutes later I was standing in front of the ticket window. Who should be behind it but Wilma Rawlings. She said it was an honor to sell tickets at such an important game. Wilma is now teaching at Tudor Hall in Indianapolis. After graduating from Ladywood College in Barnard, she taught a few years at Lizton but her teaching ability was wasted there and she soon was promoted to Tudor Hall. With all of this excitement, I was becoming just a little hungry and thirsty, so I walked over to a small hot dog stand. I stepped up beside a man who was munching a hot dog. I thought his face was a little familiar, but before I got a chance to speak to hirn he called me by name. It was none other than Roy Walter hirnself. Roy in- troduced me to the little woman , the former Mary M. Bales of Danville and four of the little Walters, Roy, it seems, is a veterinarian now, as he has been for several years, and is practicing somewhere in Illinois. As I started to look for a seat, I noticed a couple coming toward me. As I came closer I recognized Charlie Walton. He told me that he has been married exactly two weeks and he and his bride, the former Patricia Porter of North Salem, have just come back from their honeyrnoon. Charlie, who was a former captain of the undefeated team of University of Southern Salem, is now coach for the North Salem Blue Devils. Just at this moment I sighted a seat far up in the stands. As I started edging my way up through the crowd I heard a yell and someone called my name. I turned and saw a hand waving in the air and who should it be but Maurice Wilhoite. I-Ie found me a seat by him, his six other little Wilhoites, and his wife, the former Norma Eggers of North Salem. Maurice told me he has been having a difficult time in find- ing a job suitable to his taste and at present he owns a small grocery store in the south part of North Salem, 12 Lady lrarnae Andrews was arnong t.he spectators also -- the former Iramae Ray. A year after Iramae graduated she met Lord Chancellor Robert Wayne Andrews. He was traveling in the United States for an unknown reason. The following summer they were married and returned to England. The-5 reside in the White Castle in London, England. They now have three children: Norris Dee 5, Norwood 4, and Robert Jr. 3. As Iramae and I were standing there talking, who should come up and start talk- ing to us but Vernal Leathers. Vernal looked the same as ever, only of course a little older. He is married now to the former Charlene Travis of North Salem and has two little girls -- Gloria 6, who is starting school this winter, and Charlene, who will be four in July. He owms a large horse ranch at Southern Hadley. I asked him if he had heard anything from Keith Gordon. He said he had married a few years after graduating from high school to Miriam Roth, formerly of North Salem, and that they have seven children -- five girls and two boys. Keith owns the Stock Yards at New Maysville and is making very much progress. When I sat down, I noticed someone holding a red and blue pennant that read 1949, so I went down to see who it was. When I stepped down on the row behind her I saw it was Marcia Kisner. We started talking and she told me when she grad- uated from high school she entered Nurses' Training at Barnard Medical Center, After graduating from there she started nursing in the Killem Hospital where she nursed for almost three years, but her attentions were drawn away from nursing when Bill Scott of Danville proposed to her. They are now living in Danville where he is a professor at Canterbury College. They have a set of twins. In all this excitement I had nearly forgotten about the game I had come to see. The score was now 13 to 7 in favor of University of Southern Salem with only two seconds left to play. The famous team had scored another victory. As 1 started for the parki.ng lot I heard a commotion. I saw two men arguing over some matter of cars. As I moved closer I recognized Jim Hiclunan. Beside hirn was his wife, the former Bonnie Frazier of North Salem, and their daughter Jacquie. Mr. Hick- man was having trouble with his car it seemed, but finally gave up long enough to tell me that he is now State Senator. After graduating from college he entered pol- itics where he is to this day, He hopes some day to become President, As I started for my car I realized that this day had been a day worth remember- ing. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The Junior-Senior Reception was held in Indianapolis on April ZZ, 1949. The banquet was held at Ramsey's, 1435 North Meridian and after the banquet we at- tended the stage play, I' Remember Mama , at the Civic Theatre, The speech of welcome was given by Don Ward, president of the junior class, and the response was given by Jirn Hickrnan, president of the senior class. The place cards for the banquet were miniature graduation caps made around mint cups with removable tops. At the side of each plate were flowers and a mem- ory booklet. In the center of the table were twelve balloons with small prophecies on the inside for each of the twelve seniors. The prophecy for the senior class and the will of the senior class were read and a very nice evening, which we hope may long be remembered and cherished, was enjoyed by all. 13 FX -2 ,QI xg NL.. 91 JUNIOR CLASS FRONT ROW: Betty Davidson, Joan Lee, Joan Pritchett, Marthadel Wiles, Jixn Wilson, Mrs. Thompson.

Avon won their first county championship when they defeated the Blue Devils 36 to 32 in the final game. The draw was very good and matched the teams very evenly. Clayton and New Winchester opened the tourney Thursday night, January 13. Clayton came out the winner 43 to 42. In the second game Avon won over Browns- burg 46 to 35. In the first of three games Friday afternoon Stilesville beat Plainfield 38 to 34. North Salem advanced to the semi-finals by defeating Lizton. The Blue Devils won going away by a 38 to 26 score. Danville finished up the afternoon by winning over Pittsboro 32 to 26. Clayton surprised Amo Friday night and won an easy 40 to 26 decision. Avon's last minute drive overpowered Stilesville 49 to 38. In the serni-finals Saturday afternoon Avon downed Clayton in a close one 36 to 35. North Salem gained the right to play inthe final game by defeating Danville 51 to 42. The first half was close and ended 21 to 20 in North Sa1em's favor. The Blue Devils showed plenty of speed and hit often in the third quarter to build up a 17 point lead. North Salem eased up the last quarter and coasted to their second victory of the tournament. Saturday night North Salem took the floor against Avon. Cautious play and tight defense work featured the first half which ended with Avon leading ll to 9. The Orioles began hitting their long shots in the third quarter and broke away to an eight point lead. In the last quarter the Devils outscored them 17 to 13, but cou1dn't quite overcome the lead they had built up. The score was 36 to 32 and Avon was crowned the new county champions. The North Salem Seconds have had a very successful season. At this date they have won eight and lost five, They have won their last five games in a row. Their victories are: Lizton, 25-55 Pinell, 29-175 Perry Central, Z6-205 Jack- son Township, 19-18 and 16-155 Avon, 24-225 Pittsboro, 27-22, and New Win- chester, Z4-18. Their losses are: Amo, 23-205 Plainfield, 26-225 Clayton, 33-145 Stilesville, 22-13, and Roachdale, 25-22. At this date there are three remaining games on the schedule. They are: New Ross, Whitestown, and Amo. With this good record it is evident that Ndrth Salem is going to have a good team in the next few years. Other Sports The 1948-49 basketball campaign has been a very successful one for the North Salem Junior High. They have won seven games in a row and have not been de- feated. The softball team won Z out of 3 games this year. Their only defeat came at the hands of the high school freshmen. They defeated Jackson Township 15 to 3 and New Winchester 13 to 5. 27 AX v 1 1 Quang- V i I 1 .io an ff STUDENT COUNCIL LIBRARLANS 1 OFFICE FORCE ANNUAL STAFF xll?. f I ! , . BOY SCOUTS BROWN!-ES 29. 5 KNOW YOUR BUSINESS DEPARTMENT ls it worthwhile ? Of what does it consist? Who takes it? These are some of the questions to be answered in the following article. First let us see what courses are offered and to what students. The commer- cial course starts in the sophomore year and continues through high school. Be- ginning and advanced typing are offered. It will be useful in everyday life, in letter writing, both social and business correspondenceg in writing papers in school and themes in collegeg in making our contracts and legal docurnents. In short it can be used wherever writing is needed. Then there is always the opportunity open for earning one's bread and butter with such a tool. lt is excellent training in accuracy, in neatness, in concentration, and in arranging material on the page in an artistic, well-balanced manner. In the second year we learn to write the various kinds of letter forms, such as the block style, indented style, and inverted paragraph style. We learn to write such legal papers as leases, deeds, proxies, contracts and agreements of various kinds, and other manuscripts such as min- utes of meetings, annual reports, resolutions, inventories and many others, At the same tirne we keep up our norrnal increase i.n speed and accuracy. Another subject in our department is bookkeeping. This is not designed merely for those students who expect to enter the business world as bookkeepers or office workers. Each student is given training in the fundamental principles of business that are needed by every member of society regardless of his vocation. Some of the practical business procedures in the course are keeping a check book, personal cash records, records for lodges or social organizations, proper checking of in- voices and bills, and a knowledge of the purpose of the principal business papers. By keeping an accurate record of our expenditures, we can more easily make them fit our income and arrange for the accumulation of savings. What we learn about the interpretation of financial statements should enable us to invest our savings in business ventures with a more intelligent knowledge. Many excellent positions are open to those who wish to go further into the subject of bookkeeping and ac- counting. With the advent of the sales tax, the income tax, etc. in our state and national governments, an increasing amount of bookkeeping and clerical help is needed. In addition to this, the Social Security Act requires firms to keep accurate and complete records. For this work, training in bookkeeping is a valuable asset, The efficiency of the shipping clerk, the stock clerk, the salesman, and the stenog- rapher will be greatly increased if they can keep accurate and systematic records of business transactions. Shorthand is another of our favorite subjects. Success in it depends largely upon the interest, It is the highest form of writing, which is itself the greatest invention of man. We are proud to be able to record the language in graceful lines and curves. Skill in the use of shorthand is a possession that has been coveted by the wisest of men and women, for it is not only a practical instrurnent in com- mercial work, but a much-prized and valuable accomplishment and a means of mental culture. The outcomes we strive to attain are to encourage the develop- ment of a comprehensive vocabulary of understanding, teach an efficient handling of pen, notebook, letters, carbon paper, etc., help students to acquire a usable, practical knowledge of the fundarnentals of English and business usage that can be applied instantly to transcription, develop correct posture and health habits, en- courage good personal qualities and a love for stenography, cultivate office stand- ards in conduct and workmanship. This is one of the highest paid office jobs. It can also be used for personal use in taking notes in the classroom, etc. 30 The other course offered in our department is office practice. It is of value to any student, regardless of what course he is pursuing or intends to pursue. It teaches the fundamental principles of business, such as everyone should have in order to manage his own personal business affairs. We learn the use of checks, drafts, promissory notes and money orders. A great deal of time is devoted to business forms and terminology, and also we are taught all about endorsements of negotiable papers. We learn how to ship goods by parcel post, express, and freight -- the difference between an order bill of lading and a straight bill of lading and when to use each. I consider it an irnportant step in the preparation for life, regardless of one's occupation. It informs us on the social and economic problems of today. We shall be better producers and consurners because of our ability to in- terpret business facts. In this class, too, we publish the school paper, The Booster. This is enjoyed by everyone and is of benefit also. ln this work we learn to use the rnimeograph and mimeoscope, learn to type stencils and the use of other art equipment. The equipment we have includes a mimeograph, a mimeoscope, Z3 typewriters, and a liquid duplicator. In the future we hope to have a calculator, comptometer and voice recording machine so that a course in office machines can be given. These machines are used in most business offices and there is always a demand for operators. This would give us a well-rounded business education. There is a high percentage of our graduates who use their knowledge of com- mercial work in making their living or in helping finance their college work. In the last two years' classes there are eleven students who are now working and some of this year's class intend to do so. Those from the last two years' are BS follows: Marcella Courtney--insurance officeg Barbara Francis--limestone company officeg Wynona Leathers--comptometer school, Betty Simon--license bureau office, Phyllis Stewart--insurance office, Lois Daugherty--insurance of- fice, Dorothy Duncan--office, Theda Hawkins--office, Marjorie Lee--office and Harriet and Mary Nichols are helping earn their way through college by office work. Not only do these girls have office jobs, but most of them pay nearly as well as business school graduates receive. This is proof that your high school com- mercial department is irnportant and in closing I quote from an article in The Business Education World, We need only to realize that a community judgesw school by the business graduates. We are happy to have this opportunity to present some of our work. We ex- tend a cordial invitation to you to visit our regular classes at any tirne and see more of the things we are doing.

The girls' chorus meets on Monday and has 24 members, The boys' chorus meets on Wednesday and has 16 members. The mixed chorus meets on Friday and has 32 members. From these groups the girls' sextet was chosen which won first division at the district contest and went to Terre Haute to participate in the state contest. The boys' double quartet was chosen from the boys' chorus and enjoyed performing on several occasions. The three choruses participated in the county musical at Danville in March. The band has made great strides this year. They gained statewide attention through the untiring efforts of their parents in raising money for their new uni- forms, which were purchased in February, after a brief six weeks campaign. The band members participated in the district solo contest with four placing in first division either in solo or ensemble. On April Z, the band journeyed toAlexandria and entered the district contest in Class D. The uniforms were dedicated in March at a public concert. The American Flag and school flag were gifts from the American Legion Post and the American Legion Auxiliary. Next surnrner they will play their first planned series of concerts on Saturday nights.

OUR 4-H JOB We have a job to do. You and I and everyone. Our job is this -- to make 4-H club work for boys and girls more attractive he re at North Salem. We have no better example of democracy in action today than a 4-H club. A girl or boy may join or stay out. Members elect their own officers, A member may decide for himself what he does or the self-improvement he cares to make, Opinions are sought, not suppressed. Several thousand men and women of the future 4-H club boys and girls now are enrolled in 4-H club work in Indiana. Many of them are destined' to become leaders not only in agriculture but in industrial, professional, and community life, They merit our respect and our best wishes for they are to take our places when we pass on. I believe that this gene ration of boys and girls is the equal of any that have gone before. The future of any industry, the future indeed of any nation, depends solely upon its youth, the workers and citizens of the future. The individual success of young people depends upon their own ability to build on the past with a vision of the future. To know what has gone before and to improve upon the experience of past gener- ations. In inspiring such vision and practical work towards the larger ends of progress, I know of no organization which has served boys and girls so well as the 4-H Clubs of America. Their program is a practical working plan insuring the future of America's farms and the prosperity of her farmers. If education is to be of real service to farm life and to rural children we must cease to be awed by traditional subjects and procedures and build our schools on the essential needs of the countryside and country child. Today we have lost our way in the mass of specializations, each worshipped for its own sake rather than for what it can contribute to happy and successful living. ln building up this country our interest has centered too much in machines, industry, city life, rather than in the land and rural life. We are the beginning of what bids fair to be a rural renaissance. Country life is receiving attention-- unequalled since colonial days. For rural schools, this means a new opportunity and a new duty. Nothing can take from the 4-H clubs the feeling of success in its accomplish- ments for the good of the boys and girls and for the welfare of the nation. We know that 4-H clubs are succeeding. We know it can succeed here at North Salem. The boys and girls that are members know of its accomplishments and appreciate them. The 4-H boys and girls have launched out in great projects. They have spent hours at their work. They have met obstacles and problems and have solved them. They carried on because they knew that success lay ahead of them. That is the spirit which motivates service and accomplishments. I believe that the 4-H boys and girls are entitled to the best of everything. We ask those outside the fold to join with us in carrying on this great organization and all its projects. A new year is just ahead, May it bring everyone the greatest joy, the richest blessings, the maximum happiness. May it stamp upon the minds of the fathers and mothers of these club members and upon the public mind the joy and the bless- ings and the happiness that comes from service and accomplishments that the 4-H club renders, M r . Sullivan 36 SUNSHINE SOCIETY Our Sunshine Society was organized last spring. The Crawfordsville Chapter installed our chapter at an evening meeting with our mothers and teachers as guests. Last fall we held our first rough initiation. Remember those large ties girls ? Next came the forrnal initiation which was really work for us too, since we were still so new, The Sweetheart Dance held February 14 marked the highlight of our year. This was the first formal dance ever held in this school. We're proud of our record and we're looking forward to next year.

When changing positions from one school to another and also changing from one type of work to another, I wondered just what was in store for me. I try to approach a problem of this sort on the theory to expect the worst, hope for the best, and take what comes. I have received the best at North Salem. There have been numerous activities that have taken place in our school that have made for a better school, Ones that have impressed me most are the conduct of you students, the wholesome attitude you take toward learning, the attitude that you take toward the faculty and school life in general, the businesslike manner with which you conduct yourselves about school, and the willingness to co-ope rate and work to get a job done. One cannot overlook the complete co-operation the school has received from the community. The backing the comrnunity has given our athletic teams and our band program is evidence that our community reacts favorably toward the total educational process. In planning our program for this year, I have tried to plan as well-rounded a program as possible. Naturally the first item of consideration is the curriculum. At present a student has his choice of four courses of study -- Academic, Com- mercial, Home Economics and Agriculture, Along with the regular school studies, I have tried to have enough extra curricular activities so as not to make Jack a dull boy. In my opinion these extra curricular activities add color to our school life and also help develop our personalities, In the future our school is going to grow, Our enrollment is going to increase and along with this increase will come an increase in the curriculum offerings. This year we have added the Agriculture courses plus Latin and Physics. Next year we hope to offer Chemistry and keep on building our Science Department. Also along with our Agriculture program we hope to add a Farm Shop course, On the humorous side of my first year at North Salem was the incident that happened in General Mathematics class. I was calling the roll the second day of school from a paper the students had signed. The writing was very typical of a boy in the freshman class and my not knowing whether the writer was a boy or girl added to the confusion. I finally guessed the name as Diana, I was a bit surprised when a boy by the name of Dwain answered. Need I say the boy has never lived the name down in Math class yet. My first year as principal has been a busy one -- I would have it no other way, I cannot overlook the fine faculty we have hadg their willingness to enter into all phases of the educational program. The enjoyrnent I receive from helping boys and girls to better themselves is certainly worth my time and effort to help build a better school. The thoughts of that first year at North Salem shall always be a bright spot in my book of memories, Mr. Harbison 3 FN FACULTY 5
