McDERMITH Supvi ' in t n rivn l To Members of the Class of 1944: You who remain of the original Class of 1944 are to be commended for your steadfastness of purpose in successfully pursuing your program of study to its conclusion. Temptations that normally confront high school pupils to deviate from the course ahead have been supplemented during this war period by many others that have required good judgment and courage to resist. Special recognition should be given those members of your class who because of the circumstances of war cannot be present to share in your class exercises. They are making great sacrifices in order that you and others may enjoy the benefits of our American Way of Life. It is my sincere hope that y ou will continue to develop into fine useful citizens worthy of the many privileges and oppor- tunities that are our heritage. C. W. McDermith, Superintendent of Schools .JAMES J. MURRAY Principal To the Class of 1944: My hope for this graduating class is that before long our nation will have put away the sword and given itself over to healing the wounds of a bruised and bewildered world. When you are called upon to accept your share of the re- sponsibility, may you remember with considerable pleasure the four years you have spent at Salem High School. The vision and gallantry of youth is yours and I know you will carry on in a manner which will be honorable to your city, your school and your parents. James J. Murray, Principal P. T. KEANE ALLEY Vice-Principal The Witch provides, almost at a glance, a picture of school life that will be cherished for years to come. To a large group of students, the Witch gives valuable experience in publishing, which involves design, journalism, and salesmanship. The Witch’s success, year after year, as a book as well as an activity, emphasises its value as a school enterprise. P. T. Kennealley, Vice Principal Dedication To our fellow classmates who have answered the call of their country, leaving with us the memory of the courage, determination, and devotion of real Americanism, this book is sincerely dedicated. F oreword Directed by the wise counsel of the faculty and supported by our own earnest endeavors, we the class of have advanced to the position of the graduating class. Although we are sad to leave the ones on whom we have often relied, ice feel confident that ive are prepared to enter the great contest in which we must make our place. As ice depart from Salem High School which has been our guide during these past four years, we, the class of leave to the future graduating classes the tradition of scholarship, friendship, and high ideals which ice have always cherished.

We freshmen during the first few days of school were inclined to be green and trusting in the seniors for help, but gradually we became accustomed to the intricate numerical method which governs the exact location of class rooms at Salem High. During this period of adjustment, we consoled ourselves with the thought that each class before us had experienced the same dilemma. Through all this and more too the freshman class passed unscarred, having proven themselves, during the year, worthy to be called students of Salem High. After a wonderful summer’s rest we returned to Salem High School, which was destined to be the place where most of our happy times were to be spent. We were no longer handicapped by inexperience; our eyes and minds were now open for the task at hand, mainly that of taking our place with the older and more sophisticated members. Our junior year — yes, our junior year — finally came. We were now a part of the leading group of Salem High. As the year progressed, we elected our class officers who were to guide the class through the remainder of the year. President George Vallis Vice President Nancy Ryder Secretary Joan Sadoski Treasurer Thomas Lynn The academic program of our junior year was at times interrupted when our teachers were asked to assist in the distribution of ration books. Yes! the war was here and we of the junior class were later to feel materially the sting of its presence. The main event of the year was our Junior Promenade, which will always be prominent in the minds of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-four. Through the enthusiastic support of the Piincipal, teachers, and class, our Prom- enade was indeed an outstanding event. We of the junior class were now of the social elite. But the best was yet to come; we were advanced to the rank of seniors. How our heads were raised in a manner of confidence, self-assurance, and pride. Our esteem for the officers of our former junior class was shown by their re-election to the position of senior officers. The social activities of our final year were launched by the Senior Dance, which proved successful although placed under a disadvantage by the war. This event served as an impetus to the enthusiasm and energy which we utilized in our preparations for graduation. Our greatest accomplishment was an important one, our Yearbook; we earnestly hope it will be a memorable one. At the peak of the confusion, our thoughts were forced to turn toward the final exercises. Then, in rapid succession came the Senior Reception, Banquet, and triumphant Graduation. As the excitement subsided, we stopped to look back, to review, to fix in our mem- ories the most joyful years we would ever experience. It was then that we understood and appreciated the wise guidance given us by our principal, Mr. James J. Murray, our vice principal, Mr. Patrick T. Kennealley, and other members of the faculty. 444 George Vallis Nancy Ryder Joan Sadoski Thomas Lynn Student Council Atlvance Yearbook Latin Club Dramatic Club Art Club Movie Club Spanish Club Orchestra Commercial Club Red Cross Club Student Council The Student Council was organized in 1936. The purpose of such a council is, in general, to aid in the government of the student body; to promote better understanding and co-operation between the students themselves, and between the student body, the teachers, and other school officials. The Council is composed of the presidents of the various clubs and delegates from each of the classes. The idea of the Council is to discuss with the pupils problems affecting their future. These discussions emphasize character development and special prominence is given to those virtues admired and desired by all. In the past the Council has been an important factor in the program of student management and there can be little doubt that such an organization is a practical and favorable influence upon the pupils and the problems con- fronting them. This year the Student Council gave most of its attention to plans for a co-operative effort on the part of the student body to keep the lunchroom clean and also to making the Fourth War Loan Drive a success. When Mr. Fallon assumed the principalship of the Bowditch School, Mr. Brown became advisor to the Student Council. Mr. Brown’s advice was deeply appreciated by the Student Council. •147 Advance Staff EDITORIAL BOARD Editor Associate Editor JANE DALTON ZEANNETTE WHEELER LITERARY BOARD Senior Reporter Exchange Editor AMELIA KASPEROWICZ ARTHUR DRISCOLL Junior Reporter Art Editor KATHERINE MURRAY JACQUELINE ROUSSEAU Sophomore Reporter Circulation Manager VIRGINIA TREMBLAY DAVID WALKER Freshman Reporter Society Editor WILLIAM IVES NANCY RYDER Alumni Editors Athletic Editor CAROL PITMAN MARY SOUTHAM JOHN FEENAN BUSINESS BOARD Accountant SAHAG SAHAGIAN Advertising Staff LINDSEY PERRY IRVING NOVICK ELINORE MARON BURTON POLANSKY HERBERT ENG JAMES CAULFIELD PHILIP JOHNSON ANNE CLOUTMAN FACULTY ADVISERS Literary Adviser Financial Adviser MISS A.

It has given bits of advice and quaint philosophy in its editorials. Stories written by our classmates added another interesting part to our magazine. Under the careful guidance of Miss A. Louise Barker, the Advance Staff endeavored to make this magazine one of the best school publications ever written. Much credit is due to Mr. Festus Rousseau for his assistance in pro- viding artistic covers for the various issues. Mr. George Filion who managed the financial and advertising sections of the Advance deserves much credit for his untiring work to make our school magazine a success. 149 } Yearbook Staff 1944 Editor -in-chief, Robert Collins Assistant Editor, Phyllis Rock Business Manager Saul Axelrod Assistant Business Manager Marie Slattery Literary Editor, Arthur Lamprey Assistant Literary Editor, Ann Harris Assistants Jane Zielinski Clarence Graczyk James Yeannakopoulos Janis Chartier Fletcher Missud John Murphy Nancy Cousins Photography Harvey Miller Amelia Kasperowicz Gertrude Fabiszewski Dorothy Zarembska Margaret LaForge John Feenan Ruth Allen Assistant Photography Janis Kneeland Merle Phipps Boys’ Sports Edward Fabiszewski Assistant Emery Tanch Girls’ Sports Rose Pierro Assistant Marjorie Budgell Club Editor Marie Crowley Assistant Theresa Levesque Art Editor Jacqueline Rousseau Assistant Gerald McCarthy Circulation Manager, Warren Call Advertising Manager Sahag Sahagian Assistant Karl Patten Advertising Committee Eleanor Cohane Patricia Bowes Jeannette Beauregard Edward Whalen Brendan Conway Helen Tarnowski Jean Michaud David Weinberg John Cappuccio Ted Jaworski Marie Kaelin Priscilla Begin Priscilla Dickinson Barbara Bennett Photography Committee George Vallis Joan Sadoski Nancy Ryder Thomas Lynn Yearbook We, the class of 1944 endeavored to carry on the work begun by the preceding classes. Its chief purpose is to recreate for the senior class the activi- ties which it has enjoyed from its first year through its fourth year. The pic- tures of the different members of the class will hel p bring to mind, in later years, the varied personalities of our classmates. This book has been made possible through the tireless efforts of the many members of the faculty and student body, to whom we wish to express our deep indebtedness. We cannot begin to express our appreciation to Mr. Kennealley, our advisor, who so kindly gave his time to make our Yearbook the success it is. It is the sincere hope of the Yearbook staff of 1944, that in the future years the members of this class will open this Yearbook proudly and look back to the many pleasures and fulfillments made during the years spent at Salem High School. 151 Latin Club Consuls Jane Dalton Arthur Driscoll Aediles Priscilla Tracy Gloria Levine Donald Powers Praetor Rosemarie Kissling Propraetor Naomi Simkes The Latin Club, which has functioned longer than any other organiza- tion in the Salem High School, was formed in 1913. The main purposes of the Latin Club are to acquaint its members with the times and customs of the ancient Romans, and to strengthen friendships. Many interesting meetings have been held, at which the students interested in Latin get together and express themselves freely. Miss Shearer, the helpful faculty advisor, deserves much credit for the part she has taken to make the Latin Club such a wonderful organization. 152 Dramatic Club On Monday, February 21, the Dramatic Club presented its annual evening of one-act plays. A large audience thoroughly enjoyed the finished portraits of the actors and the effective scenic and lighting effects. The opening play was “Suitable For Charity,” by Paul S. McCoy. This light comedy showed the trials of a family when the mother runs prac- tically every charitable organization in town. Rachel Field’s well-known one-act drama, “The Patchwork Quilt,” was the second play. The members of the cast were justly applauded for their presentation of a difficult play. When an earnest burglar unfortunately meets a very inquisitive and unusual family, “Nobody Sleeps.” The audience certainly didn’t, for not a word was missed in this laugh of the night. “The Charm Racket,” by Evelyn Neumberb, a hilarious farce with an all-girl cast brought the evening to a happy close. The success of these plays could not have been made possible without the tireless efforts of Mr. Tellier. The secretary-treasurer was Miss Barbara Bennett to whom we owe a great deal of thanks. Art Club The Salem High School Art Club had a most successful year under the careful guidance of Mr. Festus Rousseau. Many of the Art Club’s members were inspired to draw posters for the Spanish Fiesta which was held. These posters brought out the wonderful training which the members received from their teacher and friend, Mr. Rousseau. The club enjoyed many interesting meetings this year, all of which proved very helpful and educational to the members. At these meetings members of the student body were invited to join in with the members and obtain helpful information about art. The officers who had much to do with the success of the Art Club are: Bernice LeBlanc, president; Leo Deschenes, vice president; Ann Nichols, secretary; Harry Wong, treasurer. 154 Movie Club The Movie Club is one of the most successful clubs of our school. The Movie Club came into existence in 1935, under the supervision of Mr. Ed- ward J. McCabe, member of the faculty. Under his guidance the club has made rapid progress. The subject itself is extremely interesting and all members that have joined have enjoyed themselves immensely. At one of the meetings Mr. McCabe delighted the members by show- ing them moving pictures taken by former pupils. A few years ago the club was delighted at having as guests, two screen stars who were Michael Whelan and Jean Muir. The Movie Club has donated to the school, a service flag. The num- ber of stars that are to be placed on the flag will soon be brought up to date which will equal approximately 75 stars. The officers of the Movie Club are: Jean Walker, president; Barbara Ward, vice president; Naomi Simckes, secretary; Janis Chartier, treasurer. 155 Spanish Club Under the capable and willing assistance of Miss Alice Feenan and Miss Mary Dorn, the Spanish students of Salem High School formed a Spanish Club. Its main purpose is to acquaint the student with the life of the Pan- American countries. Its many members strove hard to make a success of the “Fiesta” on April 14. It was one of the highlights of the school year. By the wonderful attendance at this social the members were well rewarded for their untiring efforts to make this a success. With the proceeds of the “Fiesta” the seniors of the Spanish Club were given a Farewell Banquet at Swenbeck’s, Salem Willows, on May 19. Henry Upton was toastmaster. Following the supper, speeches were made by the officers of the club. There was an attendance of about 50 members. Chap- erones were Miss Mary Dorn and Miss Alice Feenan. After such a remarkably prosperous year, it is hoped that the Span- ish Club will continue this work of entertaining the members and teaching them Spanish in its enjoyable manner. The officers of the Spanish Club are: Brendan Conway, president; Nancy Ryder, vice president; Loretta Hojanowska, secretary; Joseph Tassinari, treasurer. 156 Orchestra The Salem High School Orchestra was organized in 1925 under the direction of Claude Phillips. Due to the helpful co-operation of the Kiwanis Club, several brass instruments are loaned free of charge to any interested student who wishes to become a member of the orchestra. This organization is a very active one. Rehearsals are held once a week after school, and credit is awarded to those students who participated in it. The members of the orchestra receive a very valuable background in orchestral work under the leadership of Mr. Phillips. Each year the best qualified student is chosen to lead the orchestra at the school assemblies. Jean Michaud was selected this year. He made an excellent leader of our school orchestra. Commercial Club The Commercial Club, one of the largest clubs at Salem High School, was organized in November 1937. The main purpose of this organization is to further the social and educational contacts of those students who are interested in Commercial Education. Since its founding, the Commercial Club has been one of the most popular clubs at Salem High School. This club draws students not only for edu- cational ideas, but for the many social functions that the Club sponsors. Roller- skating parties made up part of the social year. Frequent informal meetings were held, fastening friendships among the members. At the termination of this school year, the club ended one of the most successful years it has known. Such success could not have been possible without the helpful co-operation of the Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Dubois and the capable leaders. The officers of the Commercial Club are: Peggy LaForge, president; Stanley Nelson, vice president; Norma Freedman, secretary; Robert Connell, treasurer. 158 X M ' S ' ■ _ r ll _ M i . Red Cross Club The High School Red Cross Council, organized two years ago, grew out of the Girls’ Red Cross Club which has been in existence since 1931. The motto of the Junior Red Cross, “I serve” is the key to its ac- tivities. The delegates this year gathered small articles for the Christmas boxes for the children of foreign countries. During the Fourth War Loan Drive, an informal evening dance was held in the gym on Friday, February 11, 1944. The dance proved to be a great success and the proceeds were put into bonds which were accredited to the school. This year, due to the world conditions, the demands upon the Junior Red Cross have increased. Every member of the Junior Red Cross has done splendid work in the past and has served many times in work for the Salem Chapter, American Red Cross. The Junior Red Cross Club has been a success due to the splendid work of their sponsors, Miss Yerrinton and Miss Dorn. The officers are: Nancy Ryder, president; James Caulfield, vice president; Mary Lou Ryder, secretary; Nancy Cousens, treasurer; Jack Holland, freshman representative. 159 } Football Cheerleaders Basketball Track Baseball Golf Girls’ Basketball Football Coach Glenn O’Brien Assistant Coach David Mishel Assistant Coach Thomas McNamara Captain Leonard Shea Manager Dana Anderson ( Summary of Season Salem 6 Newbury port 0 Salem 25 Lynn English 0 Salem 0 Marblehead 9 Salem 0 Everett 19 Salem 13 Manchester Central 7 Salem 0 Gloucester 20 Salem 0 Lynn Classical 13 Salem 0 Revere 20 Salem 7 Peabody 9 Salem 13 Beverly 0 462 The football team had an interesting season, acquitting itself favor- ably in every game. Since the only returning regulars were Captain Lenny Shea and Phil Dooley, Coach O’Brien and his assistants deserve great praise for their ceaseless efforts in building up a new team. Newburyport, Lynn English, Manchester Central and Beverly fell before the swift and savage onslaught of the Salem frontiersmen and backs. Captain Shea proved himself to be one of the finer backs in the County with his shifty running and outstanding defensive play. The traditional game with Beverly, which marks a successful or un- successful season for each team, was won by Salem, 13-0. The Witches shooting through their plays with precision and smoothness, went out front early in the game and went on to win handily. Joseph Tassinari, an outstanding lineman all season, was elected captain of next year’s squad.

These boys and girls made quite a spectacle as they performed to the rhythm of the cheers, dressed in their colorful u niforms of the traditional red and white. As a crowning glory to their already complete season, the Cheer- leaders’ Football Dance, which they sponsored, was a tremendous success, both financially and socially. It can safely be said that not one moment of this thrilling season will be forgotten by these cheerleaders. 464 Baton Twirlers Standing: Nancy Braphy, Gertrude Gagner, Theresa Madly, Audrey Ulitliy, Lucy Rousseau and Marjorie Sepuh Kneeling: Mary Jane Carr, Barbara Casey, Betty Cronin and Lorraine Madly Basketball Although only one veteran from last year’s great squad returned, Coach O’Brien moulded together an aggregation of which all Salemites can be proud. Consigned to the cellar by pre-season selections, the Witches wasted no time in proving them false. Their Essex County League record was eight wins as against six losses. It would be very difficult to pick out the outstanding member of the quintet for in all cases teamwork came before any individual accomplishment. Captain John Cappuccio and Meo Belleau were stalwarts at the guard positions. Jerry Deschenes and Gene Tremblay, two speedy and aggressive forwards, were high scorers on the team with the latter setting the pace with 104 points. At the completion of the season, Meo Belleau was elected to lead next year’s quintet.

Also returning are a number of players who saw limited action last year but are ex- pected to adequately fill the remaining positions this year. Among these are outfielders James Murphy and Ken St. Pierre, infielders Emery Tanch and Louis Shoer and pitchers Les Kenniff, George Vallis and Norm April.

Miss Mary Hanify was the coach of the girls teams. Senior Team players were Rose Pierro, Mary Pierro, Dorothy Procter, Anne Froncki, Barbara Lord, Dorothea Hughes and Marguerette Fallen. This year swimming at the Boys Club in Lynn, was participated in for the first year. Seniors and junior went on Monday nights. This by far was the most enthusiastically received sport this year. Bowling, badminton and horseback riding were participa ted in.

In War and Peace For more than 100 years Pequot Mills has given em- ployment to the people of Salem. Prosperity in the community has been closely associated with the prosperity of Pecjuot. Through good times and bad; through wars and peace, Pequot has shown steady growth and offered expanding opportunities for employment. Many fine responsible individuals have worked in our organization for periods of 25 to 50 years and have found the mills a congenial place in which to work. Wh en peace comes, our war production can be con- verted to civilian products without any delay. The outlook for Pequot in the postwar period is exceptionally promising.
