N I Twenty Five Years Is not so long when measured by the span of time but it is certainly a milestone in the life of an educational institution. Some of the greatest achievements in educational his- tory have taken place during the past 25 years and in the community of Salem, edu- cational progress and Salem High school are synonymous. Today we proudly look back on the steady steps of progress made and point out the outstanding achievements of our high school. Now, as We honor Salem High on this silver anniversary, We look forward to a bril- liant and even more successful future and join unanimously in a hearty Wish that when another 25 years have passed our high school may once again look back upon a quarter of a century of continual progress as a public servant devoted to the application of the principles and purposes of modern education. 12 w

THRU THE YEARS When Mr. Frank Lease took charge of the new high school as principal in 1917, he unfortunately was destined to work in it only five short months. For during the summer of 1917 he was shot and fatally wounded. His tragic death came as a shock to the student body and faculty and N. E. Pettibone was engaged to replace him. Pettibone held the office of principal for two years, from 1917 to 1919, and then was followed by Karl E. Whinnery. Whinnery also headed the Salem High faculty for two years, giving way to C. lVl. Rohrabaugh in 1921. Rohrabaugh served as principal from 1921 to 1925 and in 1925 W. F. Simpson came to Salem High and remained until 1928. In 1928, Wilbur J. Springer was hired by the school board and re- mained for eight years, the longest period served by any of the past principals. It was during this period also, in 1931, that John S. Alan, who had been superintendent throughout the entire life of the new school, died and was replaced by E. S. Kerr, present superintendent. In 1936, Springer left Salem High and his place was taken by Harold M. Williams who held the position until this year when he resigned to accept a position in Youngstown. Williams' place was taken by B. G. Ludwig, present principal, who is serving his first term in that office this year. Shown ab-Ove are the teachers who serve-d on the Salem 'High schiool faculty during the 1917-18 school yeair.
