AIIVIFE - To The Ladies - llc-an Ili Girls - Aiding young people is her hobby. Through her guidance and careful consid- eration not a few students of Salem High School have been guided by her only-too- willing and knowing hand in choosing their life work, selecting the proper and practical College or University where conditions are best suited for each student's individual re- quirements. She has helped them plan their course of study for High School in the things which will aid them most in years to come. She has a pleasant and congenial way of instilling into students the fact that they must prepare their life's work even as early as a High School Freshman. She helps them realize the need for higher education. A glance into her personal life shows us that she is very fond of travel. She likes to become better acquainted with other people in the other countries and her personal friends are legion even from the four cor- ners of the earth. She has toured England and the Continent. Maude Hart Nature and its beauties play a great part in her life for she is very fond of the great out-of-doors and she has made an extensive study of wild flowers, cultivated plants and trees. Another of her many avocations is philately or collecting stamps. Her career in Education is an interesting and colorful one. She is a graduate of New Jersey state normal college and Columbia University. ' ' She has taken special graduate work at Exeter, and London Univer- s1t1es in. England where for several summers she attained a rich back- gI'0UHd 111 EI1gl1Sh HlS'f01'y. art and literatu1'e in a special field course Miss Hart says: Education, as offered by the school, is not, as so many believe, merely a preparation for the future. It is rather a process of growth or development through natural daily experiences, which it is the province of the school to provide. That institution is not primarily concerned with what the student will be thinking or doing years from now, but rather with his reaction to his present environment: that the necessary elements, including good- will, cooperation and justice, may enable him to live a happy, efficient, constructive life.

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

'l'lley're More Than To-aelmrs . . . We are proud of our faculty. We present herewith as fine an ar- ray of pedagogues, as grand and versatile a teaching staff as can be found in any other secondary educational in- stitution in the land. They have struck a pleasing medium be- tween the monotony and drudgery of tough assignments and the de- lightful and fancy-free pleasure of play and fun. Never too austere or stern in their ways to see and laugh at a good joke regardless of the situation. Always ready to crack right back at you with a better one. They can understand the lighter side of life amid the work-a-day routine of a busy high school, for they have learned to use their spare time to useful advantage. Some of the hobbies with which the Faculty abounds are music, pro baseball and basketball, hunting and fishing, the ministry, politics, selling insurance and authoring text books. It is their lot to exert that prime characteris- tic called patience, the use of which often de- termines one's success as a teacher. They have learned to understand their unsettled and sometimes problem charges, working with them in sincerity and interest. All in all we are proud to present a whole bundle of good sticks.
