Mullins Vice-president - A. E. Beardmore Clerk - G. F. Koontz It seems to be a general opinion that, although the Board of Education has direct control of Salem High school and its activities, the students do not know very much about these men in whose hands rests the responsi- bility for their education. Actually, however, this is not true. For, the students in Salem High do know who the members of the Board of Education are and they know the board members are all promi- nent citizens selected by the people of Salem to direct the education in Salem schools because of their recognized ability. Each student has direct contact with the board and its policies every day, for the thorough going curriculum, the well-developed extra-curricular program and the modern supplies and equipment provided for the use of the students are all direct results of the board's efforts. Although all the students of Salem High may not be fortunate enough to know each board member personally, the fine work done by the board is recognized and appreciated by every member of the student body and, consequently, an intimate association actually does exist between the students and the Board of Education. 16

:E ti! I ing To The Class of 1942: On leaving High school you will enter a war-torn world-a world most of whose people are tense and wor- ried. With our country fighting for its life, you are called to do all with- in your power to help in every way. Through twelve years of schooling you have had opportunity to come in- to some knowledge of the heritage of freedom. In addition to helping with your hands, we are depending on you to assist with the important work of maintaining the morale of our people by thinking straight. E. S. KERR, Superintendent They Solve Our Educational Problems To the Class of 1942: Our country offers every one of its boys and girls the opportunity to acquire twelve years of free educa- tion. No other nation in the world is so generous. You saw fit to accept this invaluable gift. You are to be congratulated for meeting the re- quirements for high school gradua- tion. I know that all of you have learned some lessons better than others, but I hope that you have learned and will not forget the lesson of self-reliance. As you leave Salem High School you have my very best wish for health, happiness, and suc- cess in your chosen field. B. G. LUDWIG, Principal 12'
