Keeping our school scholastically high, making up the routine necessary for the proper function of the school, and patient- ly helping to correct errors made by the students were just a few of Principal Be- man G. Ludwig's duties. Mr. Ludwig, who could be identified by his very special laugh, was always available to talk over any troublesome matters with students and to confer with teachers about their problems. Through his office a variety of assemblies was presented. Miss Ala Zimmerman, dean of girls, had an extensive leave of absence this year. Mrs. Leah Strain filled this position, and through her sincere interest and willing- ness proved to be a valuable consultant. One of Mrs. Strain's big jobs was helping senior girls decide on prospective careers. A friend of every boy was John R. Cal- lahan, dean of boys. Through him employ- ment was found, school difficulties were straightened out, and future careers were planned. Set High Standards Beman G. Ludwig Principal Ala Zimmerman Dean of Girls John R.

They approve appoint- ments, buy textbooks and supplies, keep the buildings in good shape, promote the welfare of the schools, and set high stand- ards of education. Alfred Fitch was unanimously elected president of the board this year. John C. Litty was selected vice-president, while George Koontz retained his post as clerk. Salem voters responded with their usual generosity in 1953 when they voted to re- new a former school levy and passed a new one. Because of this new levy the board was able to approve the largest budget in Salem's history to meet increased expenses. E. S. Kerr, superintendent of schools, works closely with the Board of Education, acting as its chief executive. The respon- sibility of setting up an educational pro- gram in accordance with the policies estab- lished by the board rests upon him. Through his guidance the schools are run to best serve the needs of Salem youth.
