6 Gm? I In this class of '37 we have a hall of fame, VVhere every student with some outstanding trait May have engraved in flaming letters his name, Showing exactly how much with 'us he or she does rate. First, we have Virginia Russell and Leo, 1937 versions of Marc Anthony and Cleo. Then, for examples of the athletes of Troy, lfVe have Marguerite, the girl, and Glaspey, the boy. Every class must have, of course, wit and humorg So, Helen and Billy XVilson, we should have thought of this sooner Alsoremember, whatis a class unless it has a goof? Freddy and Pearl are our definite proof. Rita and Alan make a good pair,- Brains are in heaven, noses in the air. As for those who are clothed the best,- VVhy Gladys Smith and Leo are the best-dressed. ln every class there are those who are shy,- Pauline and VVayne: you guess the reason why. Marvin and Audri talk more than any, While Eddie and Mary receive the vote of many For being a modern Romeo and Juliet. Peggie Smith and Kugler defy the hands of Fate, By always arriving at any function late. VVhile Marie and Joe Russell plus an appetite VVould eat anything and everything in sight. A pair that causes many rapturous sighs Are Mary Charles and charming Clement, A poised self shone where'er they went. The biggest Hirts are XfVayne Benner and Irene, Their eyes wink perpetually at every one seen. The best salesmen we found out were Henry Budowsky and personable Thelma Archerg As for those who trip on the light fantastic toe, Dot Sheppard and Billy are the best we know. Marian VVoodward and jack Carpenter are the brightest, VVhile Van Sheppard and Bea Croft are the Hightiest. I think we've covered this list fairly well. And now, don't you think it would be swell, ' If we include the whole class in the next lines? VVe say, as shivers run up our spines, That, all in all, this has been a great class From the very first year of school to the last, And if in this hall you don't find your name, You'll probably see it later in a greater hall of fame, One in which the whole world competes, And the one that has the stuff is the one that beats. 28 ' Q5 as

W HYTE Secretary and Treasurer Senior Representatives junior Represe11tati'ves Sophomore Represe'nfati'ves Colored Represc1Itati'vvs Adviser Since 1925 Salem High School has been governed by a Student Self Government Asso- ciation. During these last twelve years it has been necessary to make many amendments and add to the regulations governing our association. Perhaps the most important subject discussed this year was the point system, which most schools have adopted and found very effective. Suggestions were made for the develop- ment of school spi-rit and for the encouragement of better manners in the halls, cafeteria, and classrooms. For the hrst time the entire council went to the State Teachers' College at Trenton to attend a Student-Self Government meeting. Two members of our council, Virginia Rus- sell and James Bivins, gave talks before the assemblies. Jack Wright acted as chairman at one of these gatherings. Various other members took notes and reported their findings at a special assembly. . A new safety patrol was organized to aid trathc before and after school sessions at Star Corner. This squad has done a very eflicient job. To aid conditions in the cafeteria at noon time, a service patrol was organized. The study hall problem was discussed and much done to improve this condition, but due to a lack of rooms the study halls are over crowded, making the problem a serious one. President CARLTON DUNN Vice-President DAVID ELVVELL Secretary JAMES BIVINS Adviser XVILLIAM EVANS The Future Farmers of America is an organization designed to create a better knowl- edge of country life and to promote greater interest in agriculture in those students of public schools planning to choose farming as a vocation. During the hrst semester the activities of the club included a trip to the county fair at Reading and another to the State F. F. A. meeting and judging contest. Competitive sports in wrestling and boxing were held. At the close of the semester, forty F. F. A. mem- bers traveled to the State Fair at Harrisburg. ' The club's activities during the second semester included tryouts for the F. F. A. play, participation in a Hilly Billy Orchestra, spring judging contest for poultry and dairy pro- ducts, and a Father and Son Banquet on parents' night. At the close of the school term, twenty-five F. F. A. members spent the week-end at Highpoint Camp, New Jersey. , President MARY CHARLES FIGLESTAHLER T F D L OW . - ' RANCI O B J Vrce-President JAMES BIVINS Azieqsmer M SL OEHR F Secretary NTILDRED CASTLE Umar ARIE ' L' This year Cap and- Bells continued its tradition of presenting many fine plays to the student body and the public. The Junior three-act play, December 3 and 4, was a new addi- tion to the Cap and Bells' production program. This and the Senior three-act play were the .only ones- shown to the public. One of the most touching of the one-act -plays given in assembly was the Senior Lincoln Day program, The Boy in Blue. This play clearly showed how family relations were torn by the Civil War. The Washington's Day feature, In Warb- ivrgtwfs Day, was given in assembly by the Junior Class. Other performances much enjoy- ed by the student body were just What They Wanted, a Christmas play, Dress Reversal, 21 comedy play with 21 cast entirely Of boys, and just Before the Prom, a mystery play with a cast entirely of girls. The annual Senior play,Tl1e Eyes of Tlaloc, April 7, 8 and 9, concluded a most satisfactory and entertaining year in Cap and Bells. Captain GLENDON LODGE Adviser GRACE L. XVHYTE .
