M A group of prominent citizens, Who are chosen by the people of Salem to run the schools because of their recog- nized ability, make up the Salem Board of Education. These members, who are men of unusual interest and merit, are responsible for the Welfare of our school and for setting up the standards of education for its students. Although they are Well known to the faculty, the principal and the superintendent, they remain in the background as far as the students are concerned. They carry on their Work efficiently and quietly, seldom coming into direct con- tact With the student body. The Board provides supplies and repairs that are necessary. It studies Om Z9 the needs and duties of our school and takes care of them. This year it has been busy facing the many kinds of problems that wartime presents. To- gether with Mr. E. S. Kerr, superin- tendent of Salem public schools, it for- mulates school policies and plans. Mr. F. P. Mullins, Mr. A. E. Beard- more and Mr. George F. Koontz are president, vice president and clerk, re- spectively. Without a Board of Education both our school and its students would be lost. To this Board we wish to express our appreciation and sincere gratitude for the loyal service and innumerable advantages it has given us. Left to right: G. F. Koontz, Superintendent Kerr, George Baillie, F. P. Mullins, A. Earl Beardmore, John T. Burns, George P. Lozier.

Principal BEMAN G. LUDWIG Few students, if any, realize the amount of effort and patience necessary to maintain Salem High school functioning on a smooth and efficient basis. Gratitude for performing this thankless task well is extended to our principal, Beman G. Ludwig. It is only when a job is neglected that people are con- cerned with the functions of that office. That is why it becomes pertinent to show the achievements of this man during the past two years. His resourceful planning has provided the students with a balanced program of education and recreation. With the event of war, shop, mechanical drawing, science, and mathematical courses were emphasized. In the past year, a program designed to correlate high school shop work with actual shop production has been arranged by local manufacturers. Extra curricular activities include interscholastic sports, clubs, a weekly school publication, a yearbook, and debate. Although assembly pro- grams had to be curtailed this year, he has attempted to engage speakers who could give the students a better understanding of the present conflict and the peace to follow this war. When he came to Salem High school two years ago, he was no stranger to most boys and girls since he previously held a similar position at the junior high school building. Mr. Ludwig can be justly proud of the fact that a job well done applies to him. I2
