A-lu IW N' I QI Alumni A book interesting indeed to read would be one filled with letters from all the Alumni of Salem High. Those interested in the Lyon this year hoped to have a few messages from S. H. S. grads so some of those who are doing work that is dillicult or who have been especially successful in their line of work were asked to send messages to Salem High School and those interested in her. Of the number asked we have these greetings:- Let my greeting to the Annual be this quotation from Douglas Malloch: We talk about the world around us: I wonder how the World has found us. We cannot stand aside acclaiming The things we like and others blaming. 'Whatever weakness We discover, Whatever wrongs around us hover, We are the world an-d ours the duty To change the ugliness to beauty. Harriett Reifl, '9 7 Miss Reid is one who has always been interested in Salem and in Salem High School. She capably holds the position of Arbitrator of Illinois, usually held by men. Always Miss Reid has tried to turn the ugliness into beauty and we can readily see why this quotation would appeal to her. From a brother and sister in Hawaii, we receive this greeting:- Ora Anna, '22 and Paul Alexander, '15 extend to S. H. S. and Alumni ALOHA from the Paradise of t.he Pacific, where they are engaged in different phases of Hon,- lulu's social service work. Even in Porto Rica, which seems far away, S. H. S. is represented and remem- bered. Santa Isabel, P. R., .December 30, 1923. Students and Faculty of Salem High School:-- It is a long established fact that when students leave High School, they go out to all parts of the country, and it seems especially true of the class of '22. Being the only one of that class here I send greetings to all the people of Salem High School. I am working here as a teacher in the first and second high schoolg being pr:- moted to this place from that of a teacher of English in the seventh grade. Most of my work now is that of English, and it is that which is the most needed since there are few American teachers here and the Porto Rican teachers don't know English very well. The school work and system here are almost the same as any other place, except that the work must be made much more simple. Here there are very few rural schoois and very few people living in the country. The enrollment and number of teachers to each school are exceedingly large: in this town of 1500 inhabitants we have an en- rollment of 545 pupils. lPage eighty-sixj
