Downbeat Salem High School is well kiKiwn for the especial interest it assumes in students who are musically talented. Realizing that each and every one of us has a few whistling or rhythmic foot-tapping tendencies, the school wishes to develop these abilities to the fullest extent, and at the same time to give the less musicallv inclined the benefit of listening pleasure. .With this in mind, the music department caters to its students mitsical aptitudes by providing training in l)and and choral work under the direction of Mr. Charles JNIoyer. Each year the band enters several contests and always manages to rank high in the district and state contests. Also, in musical competition, many of Salem ' s students capture firsts and seconds for their vocal, piano, and instrumental numbers.
