They relax and fulfill diversified interests Once outside the “ivied halls of learning ' our faculty members achieve self-expression and per- form many public services. Hobbies rank high in sparetime activities. Re- finishing furniture is one of the out-of-school in- terests of Mrs, Tarr, Mr, Oana, and Mr. Zellers, Bee-breeding is Mr. Howenstine’s avocation, while Mr. Allen thinks big and raises horses. Delighting in the sounds of “swing your partner ’ Mr. Knight calls square dances. The Salem Board of Health claims Mrs. Cope as a member, while Mr. Phillips serves on the County Commission on Youth Affairs. Dedicated to high ideals, Mr. Ludwig is both church treasurer and library board member. Though possessing varied origins and wide div- ersities of interests, all of our teachers hold in com- mon a love for youth and a desire to contribute to their development. SUMMER VACATION provides a refreshing change for language teacher Miss Irene Weeks. Clearing weeds from the pool on her wilderness is a far cry from her usual occupation of teaching German umlauts and French nasals.

scope by specialized graduate study, workshops Never satisfied with their present knowledge, our teachers are devoted to being truly educated educators. To improve themselves as teachers and individuals, they frequently journey to nearby campuses to earn extra credits. Many pursue sum- mer courses to seek new knowledge in their sub- jects, while others watch early-morning educational television programs. Still others attend evening classes, thus often administering one test during the day and struggling through another at night. Consequently, nine of our faculty have attained master’s degrees, and all of our teachers are not only college graduates but well-informed scholars. KENT STATE graduate students Mrs. Ruth Loop and Mrs. Doris Cope glance over a survey they made before writing a paper on Salem High's social climate.

Serving as central treas- urer and bookkeeping teacher for the past eight years, he kept both the QUAKER and SHS organ- izations out of the red. Countless school treasurers and young businessmen received guidance from him in balancing their books and handling finan- cial transactions. His quiet efficiency and warm humor will always be remembered by those who were close to him — the faculty and students of Salem High School. 25
