IN SHS FEATURES, leadership qualities and ap- pealing personal traits are discovered, Bev Mercer and Jo Bailey, cheerleaders in mufti, pep up the seniors in anticipation of an evening game. STUDYING IS exploring knowledge. Virginia Ross and Judy Whinnery pool gray matter as they dis- cover that doing homework together is more efficient and more fun than working alone. Let's Explore Salem High, I am going exploring. With telescope in hand I, Sam, the Quaker man, am nosing around thy school, peering into classes, cupboards, and cobweb-filled heads. For thee, students of today and of the distant future, I am recording my dis- coveries and presenting them to thee, that some day thee may look back upon this book as an account of thy school life here in ’56 and '57, Thee may then renew for- gotten memories, recapture the spirit of thy school, and perhaps relive in thy minds some of the happy experiences of thy youth. For other folk this book will be a win- dow through which to view SHS, to see what goes on, and to gain understanding of the life here. So come, all ye Quakers, let's explore Salem High School. 4

RIGHT IN STYLE with a private office, librarians Dixie Alesi and Linda Davis show off their ex- clusive cubby hole, complete with a sink and mirror. Here they mend and letter books, catch up on woman talk, do odd jobs, and primp. THAT DARK, MYSTERIOUS room across from 210 is obscure to most students, but Karen Zeigler, captain of the stage crew, knows it like home sweet home. There are stored scenery and memories of past class plays, style shows, and assemblies. IF YOU JOIN the tour of the wood shop you will see machines galore. In the storeroom you might find Lynn Costlow and Jim Berg tucking timbers of walnut under their arms to use in fashioning a modern Hollywood bed. Let's Peek into GIRLS! HAVE YOU been tempted to sneak through the boys’ locker room en route to gym class? For the survival of the curiosity cat, the Quaker private eye snooped, found Ronald Linder trying out the new tennis-shoe hideaway. 6
