.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

C. W. 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

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
