Within these covers is the story of our life in Salem High during 1953 and 1954-these are the things we did, the friends we knew, the heroes We praised, the teachers we Worked and laughed with, the games we won, the losses we mourned, the rooms We were so famil- iar with-the library, the labs, the shops, the study halls. These are the things that have added color to our school and that have made us different from, and still so much akin to, all the other teenagers in America. These are the things we shall want to remember when we talk about the good old daysf' because, for better or Worse, This Was Our Life In Salem Hlgh

Jesse 0. Hagedorn Chosen . Once in a while a man is found who is completely dedicated to the job he has chosen to do, who is obviously happy and ful- filled in his everyday Work, without the need of outside stimulus. The man to Whom We dedicate this book is one of these. He has devote-d a lifetime of service to the field of education, 11 years of which have been spent with the boys of Salem High. It is his earnest conviction that one of the purposes of a high school is to make men out of boys, and this has been his goal- accomplished sometimes through kindliness, sometimes through sternness, always with the aim of giving a boy What he needed in order to make a man out of him. For his contribution of unstinted hours, Cfor many a night the lights burned in his shopj, of devotion to the development of Salem boys, of unexcelled craftsmanship, and of 11 years of service to Salem High, We dedicate this yearbook to Jesse O. Hagedorn. 4
