Boss Ili The Salem Show . . . His hobby is making personal contacts with adolescent youth. No better proof can be offered than the fact that daily in his busy routine of ministering to the needs of a large high school he is ever willing to call time and confer with a student despite the size of the student's problem. No better testimonial can be given than that of the nine hundred students in S. H. S. who daily seek his understanding and willingly rendered advice on some problem which their adolescent minds cannot solve. Second only to the aforementioned comes Athletics as an avocation. He is recognized as one of the state's foremost authorities on Interscholas- tic Athletic competition. Before his appointment as principal of S. H. S., Mr. Springer was head coach and produced a bevy of championship squads during that time. One of his most outstanding achievements in athletics is the widely known Salem Night Relays of which he is the director. He enjoys the beauty of nature and is a lover of flowers and wild life. Sunday n ' morning he may always be found teaching Wilbur J- SPUUSC1' his Sunday School Class of some twenty or thirty young men. All these things play a great part in the life of Mr. Springer but I'm sure if one would ask he would confide with a proud smile that his greatest business and the thing which overshadows all his other hob- bies and avocations is his gracious and charming wife and his fine family Johnny, Betsy and Billy. In a brief message to the Graduating Class, Mr. Springer says: Every class which graduates from Salem High School endears itself to its faculty. Much is ex- pected of its leaders who have distinguished themselves on the gridiron, court, track, N ' 'l stage and in the classroom. Predictions of their continued success are made by enthus- iastic faculty members. But it remains for Time alone to reveal the degree of accuracy due these predictions. Those who read these lines in 1956 will recall the marked leadership tendencies of the class's most distinguished graduate. Many of the successful men and women in 1956 from the class of 1936 will be little- remembered pupils of S. H. S. Unfortunate- ly some of its most talented graduates may eventually become less spectacular. Your parents and teachers have left with you ideals and tools with which to work. The degree to which you achieve success lies with you. The greatest remuneration to parents and teachers lies in your successes. Page 10
