Earl S. Kerr Superintendent of Schools . . . I-Iere's a man you should meet right away, Jack. He is Supt. Earl S. Kerr, who is widely known for his inherent qualities of an educa- tional leader. His responsibilities here as chief administrator are of no small importance, for his is the job of keeping a modern city school system in operation at all times. His fine leadership is a significant public service to the community of Salem. Continually working for the betterment of the local schools, he has gained the esteem and co-operation of the stu- dents, parents, and teachers. But such a job could never be handled alone, Jack, and this is no exception. Working with Mr. Kerr in the planning of a progressive school system, are several prominent men who are elected by -the citizens of Salem to repre- sent the public and who make up the Board of Education. Their tasks are numerous. They finance the operation of the schools, approve staff appointments, buy textbooks and sup- plies, and keep the buildingslingfgood repair. All in all, Jack, our superintenderililand board members are important factors of our schools. We really don't appreciate them enough . . . community

Beman G. Ludwig Principal . . . A friend of the students, a man who is responsible for the organization and manage- ment of our high school-this is our principal, Beman G. Ludwig. He really has a job, too. Included in his daily program are such tasks as conferring with faculty and students about their work, setting up the school calendar, and supplying colleges and employers with data pertaining to the students. His leadership is an important part of Salem High life. Miss Ala Zimmerman, who reigns over the feminine pulchritude, has the interest 'of each individual girl at heart. As supervisor of the Welfare of all girl students, she is found to be liberal and modern in her point of view, but firm and purposeful in her guidance. And then there is Dean John R. Callahan who, through his clear understanding of boys, has been able to help solve their personal and vocational problems and guide them to the opportunities available after graduation. Such are our administrators, Jack, who work together with the faculty to provide for the students of Salem High School a sound and well-rounded education. counselors
