W A ,7 Classes at Salem High school were not as usual this year. Almost every day, at least one of your class- mates withdrew from school. If it was not the army en- listment center or the draft, then it was farm work or factory help. Enrollment dropped appreciably in all classes. Herewith we present those classes of students who have just witnessed a history-making year at Salem High during which time the school shifted to a war basis. Of the 178 seniors who will be graduated this year, many will go into war industries and into the armed forces of their country while the other classes move on toward their goal and hope to attain the high standards set up by the class of '43. This senior class is a war graduating class, but its members have learned in this last year of school how to get along in a war-time world so that with a minimum of adjustments they may get in stride with their times. 21

I. Was only one of many similar educa- tional upheavalsv. Another idea conceived by mem- bers of the class was the launching of a high school boosters clubg also the class of '43 is the first graduating class of Salem High to Wear caps and gowns for Commencement. Those of the class of ,43 were ex- tremely active in all extra curricular activities. A high percentage of the football, basketball and track teams were seniors of this year. They con- stituted one third of the high school marching band, the entire active de- bate squad and a great portion of the library staff. The class gave to the Quaker Weekly its editor, Mary By- ers, and business manager, Herbert Hansell. The class also possesses a strong sense of humor. Both of its class plays, '4Ever Since Eve and Everbody's Crazyi' were hilarious comedies. The graduates of 1943 have been interested not alone in fun and extra- curricular activities. Their honor list is long. The race for top scholastic hon- ors Was close with Emma Bauman, Gene McArtor and Elizabeth Benedet- ti, finally tying for first place. The class elected Anne Cosgarea Football Girl . The selection of class officers also was a tribute to their good judgment. Herbert Wilker was senior class president, Dick Culberson, vice president, and Ruth Fidoe, secretary- treasurer. So, this is the class of '43, scholarly, active and possessing an admirable sense of fun. It has made an outstand- ing record for itself during these four short years and will long be remem- bered for its worthwhile achievements. Paul Evans flirts with Howard Evie Coy in the Senior play.
