With a ell ' ' rltten Script B. G. Ludwig Principal Behind the planning of the curricu- lum of Salem High School is Principal Beman G. Ludwig. It is he who plans the daily routine for high school pupils. Aside from his duties in connection with regular school day courses, he makes provisions for assemblies, gathers material for outside organizations need- ing information concerning persons who have formerly attended Salem High, and cooperates in full with the students, lis- tening carefully to their requests and giv- ing advice to them whenever it is needed. It is Mr. Ludwig who encourages the extra-curricular activities of the school which include, among others, the club programs and interscholastic athletics. The job of coordinating school activi- ties efficiently is one for which, generally speaking, little credit is given. However, because of his friendly nature and care- ful planning, Mr. Ludwig has helped to give Salem High School the high schol- astic rating it has today. He has, along with this, gained the admiration of both teachers and students.
