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.
