For 1942 marks the 25th year that Miss Ethel Beardmore and Mr. R. W. Hilgendorf have been members of the Salem High faculty. Miss Beardmore and Mr. Hilgendorf joined the Salem High faculty when the present high school opened in 1917 and from that time on, until the present day, they have rendered such excellent service to the community and students of Salem and Worked with such sincere effort both in their daily tasks as teachers and in their positions as advisers that we have made them honorary dedi- catees of the 1942 Quaker annual. We feel that this honor, insignificant and humble as it is in view of the great trbute that Miss Beardmore and Mr. Hil- gendorf deserve is the best means we have of showing our appreciation and gratitude for the help, the advice and, above all, the capable instruction that it has been our privilege to receive from them. And so, with profound admiration and respect in our hearts and the heartiest of congratulations in our minds for their re- markable accomplishment, we proudly an- nounce Miss Beardmore and Mr. Hilgen- dorf as the honorary dedicatees for the 1942 Quaker annual.

The 1942 Quaker Annual Presents A Quarter Of A Century Oi Progress On January 2, 1917, a day of special significance in the history of Salem public education, approximately 298 high school students, returning to school after their Christmas vacation, entered a brand new high school building, that had just been completed at a cost of Sj5200,000. That building, which was used for the first time when those students excitedly entered it in 1917, is the same high school in use at present, and this year it is con- cluding its first 25 years of educating and preparing Salem boys and girls for the future. The faculty of Salem High school, when the new building was opened, consisted of 16 members, headed by John S. Alan, Superintendent of Schools, and Frank W. Lease, Principal. All of the members of the faculty had transferred directly from the old high school on Fourth Street pic- tured below to the new building. When the new high school was built, it was sorely needed. And it came mainly as the result of the efforts of two men, Mr. Alan and Mr. Lease. For in their positions as superintendent and principal, respectively, they realized the dire need for a larger and better equipped high school, and they gave unselfishly of their time and effort in working to remedy this need.
