,l 4 E. S. Kerr Superintendent of Schools by leaders like our superintendent, active in educational tasks, E. S. Kerr, superintendent, has the task of seeing that the school machinery throughout Salem is in working order and runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This obligation requires skill and competence of the highest degree. The standards of any organization are directly derived from the standards of those at the head of that organization. Certainly the quality of the Salem educational system reflects the qualities of worth inherent in its administrator. Renowned for his great ability and integrity, Mr. Kerr has been afforded a large portion of the educational leadership of this region. One of the many evidences of this fact is his recent presidency 'of the Northeastern Ohio Teachers Asso- ciation.

and our board of education, planning a greater school system, With gratitude and tribute the members of the Salem Board of Education are saluted for their work in providing the means for Salemls educational programs to be carried out. The board is composed of prominent members of the com- munity, elected to represent the public and to serve as the agent of public desire. Among the innumerable and indispensable tasks which they perform are the approving of educational policies, staff appointments, paying of bills, and making every effort to see that Salem's boys and girls get the best possible educational opportunities the community can afford. The board's specific goal this year is represented by the building program to house the increasing number of pupils entering the elementary schools. Included in this program are the completion of the nine-room Buckeye elementary school, construction of a gym-auditorium and four-room ad- ditions at McKinley and Prospect schools, the planning of a gym-auditorium and twelve-room addition at Reilly, and a gym-auditorium for the Junior High School. Although the students have little opportunity to become personally acquainted with these men, they come in contact daily with the results of the board's careful planning. They are sincerely grateful for their efforts to give the Salem edu- cational system the advantages it has today. Row One: Edwin S. Dawson, vice-presidentg George P. Lozier, presidentg George F.
