At the end of this all too short vacation, we returned to school prepared to spend the greatest of all high school years. No longer need we look up to the Senior Class, we had reached the top, we might look down now with scorn upon the under classes. VVe spent very little time in this activity, however, for we had a great deal to do. Gur Senior elections resulted in the following peoples being chosen: Alexander Juralewicz President Alice Boyes Vice Preridenf Albert Letarte Treasurer June Hadley Secretary With these competent people to lead us, and with the ever present help of Mr. Day, we presented our First social function of the year, which was our Senior Valentine Dance. Enhanced by beautiful decorations comprised of huge red hearts, and by the music of Norman Gleason and his orchestra, the dance proved to be representative of the wonderful spirit of the Class of '37. ln April, a cast of Dramatic Club members, comprised mainly of Seniors, presented the stage hit, The Late Christopher Bean, to a capacity audience. The acting was superb and the play very entertaining, and the funds rolled in accordingly. Toward the middle of the year, the Class of '37 began to show their real worth by introducing to Salem High School three new ideas: the Yearbook, caps and gowns, and the Chapter of the National Honor Society. The first has been more than ably guided by our staunch class advisor, Mr. Murray, and has proven to be a great addition to our high school life. The second beautified our graduation and added to the depth of meaning of that great event. The third, under the guidance of Mr. Day and Miss Mulligan, has contributed greatly to the scholastic zeal of our students. This year's Football, Basketball, and Baseball teams have completed es- pecially hard schedules with especially noteworthy success, and our cheerleaders and baton twirlers have been the mainstay and support of our interscholastic events. One particularly imposing fact is that we have an standing among our Senior students, thirteen having This makes history at Salem High School. ln the closing hours of our high school life, three for the last happy times. First, the Graduation, then unusually high scholastic averages of over ninety. events bring us together the Banquet and, finally, the Senior Reception. All three were colorful and lively, but just a bit saddening. Although Time has taken its toll upon the five hundred Freshmen who entered in I933, still Salem High School graduated its largest class this year. And so, with these words we take our leave of Salem High, but we feel that our years here have been a complete success. We owe our social successes to Mr. Murray, our athletic successes to Coach Broderick, and our widened knowl- edge and broader experience to Mr. Day and his faculty.wCARl. T.

CLASS OFFICERS A. Juralewicz, A. Boyes, J. Hadley, A. Letarte CLASS IIISTIIRY ln the year 1933 nearly five hundred Freshmen found their way to the Assembly Hall of Salem High School, and with great hopes and expectations awaited the discussion of their fate. Not one of those young people realized what our class was going to mean to the high school, or to what heights we ourselves might soar. We set forth with the din of uupperclass sarcasm in our ears, to found one of the greatest classes Salem High has known. l,ittle oppor- tunity is given Freshmen to express themselves and so the first year passed quickly and uneventfully. After a short but pleasant summer vacation, we returned confidently to school, planning to make the most fun possible of the poor creatures who had taken our places as Freshmen. So with bigger heads and bigger mindsf-we hopeewe ploughed our way through the second year of our high school life, only to come to another summer vacation. But at last we could see in the near future an opportunity to show ourselves worthy of being a part of Salem High School. That opportunity came when we elected our first Class officers. How proud and haughty we were and how sure we were that we were going to set the world on tire. Nevertheless our Class oflicers were representative ofour good judgment. They were: Alexander Juralewicz Preriden! Alice Boyes Viee President Albert Joyce Treasurer Alice VVare Seerelezry. We were not long in showing that we were destined to succeed, for our Junior Promenade was rated as the best in years. Due to the beautiful decora- tions, the sparkling music of Arthur Litka and his orchestra, and the steady guidance of Mr. Murray, our Class advisor, and Albert Joyce, our Class Treasurer, the dance was a huge financial and social success. For the first time in the history of the school the Class rings were purchased in the Junior year instead of the Senior year in order to cut down graduation expenses. The rings are of black onyx set in gold with a gold witch set on the stone. At the end of the year, Alexander Juralewicz, our Class President, was chosen football captain for the '36-'37 season. Time was fleeting faster now, and before we knew it another summer va- cation was upon us. 14
