JAMES J. MURRAY Principal Zo the Class of 1943 It is no easy task to write a message to the Senior Class graduating this year because the Class of 19 fS goes into a world suffer- ing from the greatest tragedy known to mankind . . . War. In full realization of the jeopardy which threatens the very basic foundation of our “ life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness many boys from your class are already in the armed services side by side with hundreds of boys from High Schools of our na tion. Many more will probably soon be called to serve. Girls in this Class of ' fS will do their share in defense plants or offices. In whatever capacity it may be yours to assume in life, you will soon appreciate more than ever before, the educational advan- tages which you have been privileged to acquire in Salem High School. Pursue some higher educational attainments, if possible, since the need for trained men and women becomes greater each successive year. Be brave and courageous, fulfill your obligations faithfully, be a credit to yourself, your family, your school and may God bless you. James J. Murray
