No one could mistake those timid little creatures, all lanky arms and legs and gawky stares for upper-classmen! Their earnest, sober little faces as they readily accepted the Seniors’ beguiling advice were changed to pitiful masks of puzzled bewilderment when they found themselves in the inner recesses of the dingy boiler room or within the forbidding portals of the gym of the opposite sex. How they were victimized, plagued, and tortured! As we, secure in the knowledge of our prowess and social distinction, look back upon our Freshman misfortune, we can scarcely believe that at one time we were so submissive and all-enduring. As Sophomores, we were relieved of our torture as new victims presented themselves but, unhappily, we received little consideration. Junior year, however, found us delighted with our newly won social importance. Eagerly and enthusiastically we conducted the election of our class officers. After a spirited campaign and a flurry of pre-election excitement and anticipation, Phil Dooley was elected Junior Class President with Mary Lou Ryder, Barbara Wilkinson, and Jere Burns as Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Under their guidance and leadership we experienced an unforgettable year which ended with the Junior Prom complete with spotlights, festive decorations, and the mellow music of Shep Wolan’s Orchestra. Since this large-scale undertaking was a financial and social success, it marked our impressive entrance into the high school’s social elite. As exciting as Junior year may have been, it was but the prelude to the grand finale. The election of officers was held at an early date so as to insure a successful and profitable year. Ralph Gray emerged victorious as our President-elect and Louis Mroz, Florence Dziewguc, and Henry Upton as Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. With such leader- ship, and with the invaluable and untiring guidance of Mr. Arnold, Mr. Kennealley, and Miss Shortell, class advisor, we could do nothing but succeed, and succeed we did, in all of our endeavors whether social, scholastic, or athletic. Our Senior year will be memorable for the record of our football team alone. Our undefeated team, having accepted Miami High School’s invitation, nonchalantly walked off the field with a 7-6 victory. Needless to say, the players were given a rousing welcome. Nor were we less active socially. As a class, we sponsored two informal dances, the Senior Hop, and the Record Hop, and many of the members contributed to the success of the club dances. The banquet held in June was, as usual, a most en- joyable event. Fortified with a generous supply of turkey and all the “fixin’s,” we listened attentively to the delightful verbal barrage of our three banquet speakers: Kay Murray, Herman Bushek, and Donald Goolsby. Despite the male shortage, the Senior Reception proved a great success. Soft lights, sweet music, gayety tempered with senior sophistication, reigned supreme. The girls’ gowns of bouffant net and tulle blended with the festive surroundings. We, the graduating class of 1945, will long remember our Salem High School days. Nor will we soon forget the team work, the goodwill, the teen-age compatibility, which made our high school career so worthwhile. {46 Our Tfaze by Elinore Maron We were the freshmen, the pea-green freshmen, Always rushing to and fro, we didn’t know just where to go — Take the elevator? Find the stairs? — The bell has rung, we’re late for class. Is this the gym? We’re looking for Math — Oh, wretched life for us was then. The wrangling horrors of poor freshmen. We were the sophomores, the silly sophomores. How we longed to get ahead, envied juniors in their stead — Bothered frenzied pedagogues, devil lurked in all our thoughts. Were you like that? Were you? And you? “No, no,’’ you cry, it can’t be true! — Oh, savage life for us was then. The villians of the high school den. We were the juniors, the jolly juniors. Everything was going fine, to be upperclassmen was divine — Will you vote for me? Just sign right here. The Prom’s tonight? My hair’s a mess! Did you make the team? We’ll win again. Oh, junior’s life, a happy chore, Rembunctious tribe we are no more. We are the seniors, the sophisticated seniors. Now at last we’ve reached the top. Our goal is high, we’ll never stop. Are class dues paid? Who goes with whom? Read the Advance — get all the news. The Senior Hop, Reception, too. The curriculum’s full — The time just flew. And graduation now at hand — we come together, a stalwart band Oh, life shall lead us seniors far. But first, our thanks — and au revoir! Student Couneil President Louis M roz Vice President Donald Poitras Secretary Rebecca Caldwell Treasurer Arthur Sarkisian The purpose of the Student Council is to aid in the government of the student body and to create a better understanding and co-operation between the students themselves and their teachers. In each homeroom officers were elected and a homeroom period was held once a month to discover the views of the pupils. These ideas were pro- posed at the general council composed of two delegates from each homeroom, the presidents of various clubs and the leaders of each sport. All the proposals were brought before the executive council which is made up of four students from each class elected from the general council. After the proposals were ratified they went back to the general council for the final vote. This year the council was very active and inaugurated the following improvements: dancing is now allowed in the gym during recess; examinations are extended over a period of three days; there are now more numerous assem- blies, and the lunch room is now more properly supervised. The student council deeply appreciates the advice of Mr. Brown and Mr. Lyons who acted as the advisers throughout the year. {49 Admm Staff EDITORIAL BOARD Editor Associate Editor CAROL PITMAN NAOMI SIMCKES LITERARY BOARD Senior Reporter Exchange Editor JOSEPH KILFOYLE PATRICIA JENNINGS Junior Reporter EUGENE STREET Art Editor JOSEPH ABLOW Sophomore Reporter DOROTHY BATES Circulation Manager IRVING NOVICK Freshman Reporter JOHN LOWELL Society Editor ANNE NICHOLS Alumni Editors PHYLLIS STEINHARTER MARIE MAHONEY Athletic Editor RICHARD WINER BUSINESS BOARD Accountant YVONNE THERIAULT Advertising Staff ELINORE MARON PHYLLIS YOUNGER PHILIP JOHNSON JAMES CAULFIELD HERBERT ENG ANNE CLOUTMAN BURTON POLANSKY FACULTY ADVISERS Literary Adviser Financial Adviser A. LOUISE BARKER GEORGE FILION Art Adviser FESTUS S. ROUSSEAU Admm The Advance has just passed through another successful year, made memorable by the splendid contributions of students and teachers. As a result of the co-operation and enthusiasm of all, the Advance was able to bring to the student body a magazine comparable to any other high school publication in the country. It has served as a social and literary organ bringing humor and friendship to its readers and has given bits of advice and quaint philosophy in its editorials. The Business Board deserves credit for an increased circulation which rose to two-hundred and twenty-five subscriptions over and above the sum total of previous years. This zealous trait abounded among all the members of the Advance Staff and urged them on to paint and redecorate the editorial room during their winter vacation. We are certain that the Advance will continue to maintain its high standard of literary and social leadership in the years to come. No praise is too great to give to our faculty advisers: Miss A. Louise Barker, literary adviser, Mr. George Filion, financial adviser, and Mr. Festus Rousseau, art adviser, who have worked so vigorously and untiringly to give the students the best kind of magazine possible. {51 } yearbook Staff Editor-in-chief, George Mulcahy Assistant Editor, Josephine Gajewski Business Manager Assistant Business Manager Jeremiah Burns Eva Berube Literary Editors Naomi Simckes Connie Garvey Assistants Pearl Przetakiewicz Roger Nicholson Edward Mack Rebecca Caldwell Jeannette Prager Alita Gray Albert Shortell Photography Herbert Eng Boys ' Sports Editor Cliff Roby Girls ' Sports Editor Jeanne LaPorte Club Editor Patricia Tassinari Kay Murray Elinore Maron Richard Winer Richard Berry Sylvia Packer Yvonne Theriault Norman April Assistants Cecile L’Abbe, Louis Shoer Assistants Stanley Froncki, Tommy Brennan Assistants Dolores Jordan, Elaine Cronis Assistant Patricia Rose Art Editor Anne Nichols Assistants Bernice LeBlanc Robert St. Pierre Rita Martin Renald Cote Leo Deschenes Circulation Manager MaryLou Ryder Assistant Barbara Wilkinson Advertising Manager Burton Polansky Assistant Lester Kenniff Madeline Slattery Connie Monacco Barbara Upton Donald Goolsby Phyllis Steinharter Advertising Committee Geraldine Sztramski Deborah Perkins Barbara Splaine Rosemary Kissling Vivian Lander Robert Share Ramona Staniewicz Richard Doyle Henry Winer Photography Committee Ralph Gray Henry Upton Louis Mroz Florence Dziewguc {52 yearbook The members of the Yearbook staff have endeavored to make an in- teresting publication that each graduate will cherish through the years.

Mr. Kennealley, our adviser, has planned our meetings and given generously of his time to help us in every way possible. The Yearbook staff of 1945 expresse s its gratitude for the eager co-operation of both faculty and students. We hope that we have maintained the high standard of past years and have presented a publication worthy of those to whom it is dedicated. {53 Catm Club Elinore Maron Arthur Driscoll Naomi Simckes Rosamond Colman Tina La vends Joseph Perkins The Latin Club organized under the capable direction of Miss Edith M. Shearer brought its thirty-second consecutive year to a successful close with an inaugural party for the newly elected officers of the coming year. At the Christmas Meeting the members of the Latin Club enter- tained guests of the faculty who favor maintaining the classical studies as a means of furthering a finer intelligence in the future citizens of the world. Due to the war the Latin Club discontinued their annual contribution to the Towne Fund but looks forward to contributing to this worthy cause in the coming years of peace. Consuls Praetor Quaestor Aediles 54 Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club is one of the oldest clubs at Salem High School. It is composed of the members of the popular Public Speaking Course taught by- Mr. John Tellier, producer of the four plays, which were an outstanding success. This year the two costume plays “She Stoops to Conquer,” a one-act abridgement of Goldsmith’s famous comedy, and “The Taming of Sue,” involving scenes from Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” proved colorful as well as entertaining. The comedy “Thursdays at Home” was another bright spot on the program as the cast made themselves at home much against the will of their helpless hostess. “Between Dances” scored as the only serious play of the evening. 55 Club Faculty Adviser President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Festus Rousseau Bernice LeBlanc Rita Martin Renald Cote Robert St. Pierre The Salem High School Art Club had a very successful year under the direction of Mr. Rousseau of the faculty. Every month the club completed a different art project. One of these was pencil drawing from life by the club adviser. As the seniors had been taught to sketch on the blackboard and to make posters many were chosen to do this for the annual dance which the Senior Class held. These posters, displayed on the bulletin boards near the study halls, helped greatly to make the dances successful. Club meetings were held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The voluntary work accomplished by the members proved both enjoyable and educational.

It was founded in 1944 and has flourished so well that it has become one of the most successful clubs. Members sponsored two successful Record Hops on October 27 and February 9. The second annual Fiesta held on April 20 climaxing the Club’s activities, proved to be a social and financial success. One of the Spanish Club’s greatest contributions to the Salem High School has been the discovery of hidden talent. Both Robert Marchand and Adam Petroski made their debuts at Spanish Club aifairs. A poster contest won by Thelma Galler, and a Pan-American Assembly highlighted the club’s academic features. In addition, suitable prizes for excellence in Spanish will be awarded at the graduation exercises. {57 Orchestra Director Claude Phillips Student Leader Selwin Becker The Salem High School Orchestra, organized in 1925, has been for the past twenty years inspired and guided by their competent director, Mr. Claude Phillips. The Salem Kiwanis Club has proved most helpful in loaning several brass instruments to any interested student who desires to become a member of the orchestra. This year the orchestra is composed of eighteen members, nine of whom are seniors. Selwin Becker, a junior, is Student Leader of this year’s orchestra. Rehearsals are held once a week and credit is given to orchestra members who gain helpful experience and a valuable background by their participation. Because of Mr. Phillips’s intelligent direction, this organization is much in demand, playing at outside exhibits and civic meetings, as well as at all assemblies, bringing an element of festivity into the latter which is much appreciated by the students. The orchestra’s major engagement is at graduation. Our orchestra has always been a leading organization in our school and has done an admirable job this year. {58 Musie Club Chairman Executive Committee: Secretary Publicity Agent Lorraine Belanger Robert Marchand Eugene Street The Music Club, the largest club in the High School, was formed early in the fall of 1944 to further the talents and appreciation of the students in Music. A Composition Contest sponsored by the Music Club, inspired many of the students to expand their knowledge of music. Lorraine Belanger won first prize while Lourinda Chase, Eugene Lacritz, and Joseph Ablow were tied for second prize. At Christmas the Music Club received mention for its holiday dance with the appearance of Santa Claus, festive decorations, and the music of Jean Michaud and his orchestra. Another highlight of the year was the Spring Con- cert given by a group of New England Conservatory students, and presented to the whole student body by the Music Club. Under the capable direction of its adviser. Miss Colson, members of the club had the opportunity to go to Boston to see the ever popular operett a, “The Merry Widow,” and also to attend a performance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, at the Pops. With such a successful beginning, it is inevitable that the Music Club will continue its functions in the future as an important organ of the High School.

The motto of the Junior Red Cross “We Serve” is the key to its activities and the furthering of this aim is the purpose of its projects. In the fall, the delegates gathered small articles for the Christmas boxes for the children of foreign countries. To raise money for the National Children’s Fund an informal evening dance was held in the gym on Friday, April 6, 1945. The dance proved to be a great success and a large contribution was sent to the National Children’s Fund. Due to the world conditions the demands upon the Junior Red Cross were even greater this year than last year. Every member of the Junior Red Cross has done splendid work and has answered the call of the Salem chapter of the American Red Cross with enthusiasm. The Junior Red Cross Club has been a success due to the work of its sponsors: Miss Yerrinton, Miss Dorn, and Miss Cass. { 60 Mating Society Faculty Adviser President Vice President Secretary Mr. Oliver Green Edward C. Mack Albert V. Shortell Roger Nicholson The Debating Society was reorganized this year for the purpose of enabling students to gain poise, power of expression, familiarity with parlia- mentary procedure, and ability to see both sides of a subject. Under the diligent guidance of Mr. Oliver Green, the Society has progressed very favorably. Such interesting and enjoyable subjects as the India Question, and compulsory military training after the war, have been discussed. These debates, in addition to aiding the students in public speaking, are very educational for they cover subjects of general discussion and interest. At the first meeting, the Debating Society decided to open its mem- bership to girls as well as boys. As a result, several girls enrolled and have ac- tively engaged in the activities. The interest shown this year by the whole-hearted support of the club’s activities, indicates the future success of the Debating Society. 61 } Club President Eva M. Berube Vice President Naomi Simckes Secretary Eleanor Spiller Treasurer Carol Pitman The Salem High School Movie Club was organized in 1937 by Mr. McCabe of our faculty. Under his guidance, the club has progressed rapidly and has become one of the most successful and active of the school organizations. Originally, in addition to encouraging self-government at its meetings and initiative in its activities, the club sought to interest members in photog- raphy and the technicalities of motion picture production. To further this aim, the club included in its activities the filming of motion pictures of the members and the presentation of prominent screen and radio stars at the meetings. During the past year, however, because of war restrictions and difficulties, the Movie Club was forced to temporarily abandon this practice. The club activities did include the presentation of newsreels and sport films. In addition, the club was honored by being the first group in the high school to see the Salem-Miami football game. One of the most enjoyable meetings was the one at which Ensign William Letarte of the United States Maritime Service and a past president of the Movie Club thrilled members and the faculty through his displaying of costly old-world tapestries. We, the graduating members of the club, extend our best wishes for the success of next year’s club. “Cheerio and Carry On!” 02 } Commercial Club President Josephine Gajewski Vice President Alice Hennessey Secretary Eva M. Berube Treasurer Genevieve Poulos The Salem High School Commercial Club was organized to further social and educaticnal interest of the students in the commercial life. The club, under the influential direction of Mrs. Winifred DuBois, participated in various enjoyable activities. One of the most interesting excur- sions of the year was that of the visit to the Christian Science Monitor Building. For pleasure purposes, the pupils of the club held bowling parties, hay-rides, and other social gatherings. We hope that in the future this club will continue, for we feel that the co-operation of the students, combined with the efforts of Mrs. DuBois, have not been wasted. 63 Zibrary Corps President Paul M.

Through student-to-student contact to acquaint the students better with the library’s facilities and possibilities. 2. To reflect back to the library needs, trends, and desires of the school and the student body. 3. To provide the teaching staff with channels for making their wants known to the library, and, in reverse, for letting them know of library resources. Under the competent and able guidance of the faculty adviser. Miss Annable, the Library Corps has progressed rapidly during this its first year of existence. All thirty-two members, sophomore, junior, and senior alike, have worked tirelessly to support all of the activities which included the listing of graduates of the school in the armed forces, the making of an index of Natural History magazines, and the preparation of new books for cataloging, and an inventory of magazines and periodicals in the library. Culminating its activities for the year, the Student Library Corps, although only in its year of infancy, presented a Washington and Lincoln assem- bly. Those who participated were: Roger Nicholson, Student Chairman; Shirley Neizer, Naomi Simckes, Sylvia Packer, Adele Wentzell. Part of this program was presented before the Salem Kiwanis Club. J64 Humor Kotarians President Edward Mack Secretary Burton Polansky The Junior Rotarians is an organization founded to further friendli- ness and brotherhood among its members. In keeping with this democratic policy, the Salem Rotary Club has extended a permanent invitation to ten Salem High School Senior boys to join its ranks each year. These ten boys are chosen on their merits as future Rotarians by Principal Arnold and Vice Prin- cipal Kennealley. The Junior Rotarians attend senior meetings in pairs. The latter meet every Tuesday at 12.15 at the Hotel Hawthorne. The meetings consist of luncheon, community singing, and short lectures which are of benefit to all members of the club. There is a strong emphasis placed on democratic behavior at all meetings. This policy found favor with the Junior Rotarians, for they enjoyed calling our most prominent citizens by their given names and nicknames. Once a year the Junior Rotarians are given free rein at a Senior meeting. This year the Juniors presented a debate. The subject was: Resolved: that there should be compulsory military training for all young men under twenty-one. This meeting and program were very successful. The Junior Rotarians of 1944-45 are grateful for the opportunity given them to enjoy and learn from the Senior meetings, and wish to express their thanks to Harley H. Forsythe, President, for the many kindnesses ex- tended to them. J65 Coach Glenn F.

Lowell, Newburyport, Lynn English, and Marblehead were over- powered by the onslaught of the Salem line and backfield. Everett and Man- chester Central gave stiff opposition but were finally brought to their knees by the high flying Witches. Lynn Classical was buried under an avalanche of Salem’s witchery with the highest score which Salem attained during the success- ful season. Gloucester and Beverly were crushed to defeat, and Peabody, a highly over-rated team, encountered the Witches on the field of play and the Tanners were outwitted by excellent teamwork on the part of Salem. Although the game was scoreless, much credit was given to Salem for their superior tactics. With the completion of a very successful season, the Salem High Football Team was invited to play Miami High School. Miami, which repre- sented one of the greatest teams of the South, was defeated by the Salem Witches, with a score of 7-6, exactly reversing the score of the 1929 game. Many fine compliments were paid to the team for its good sportsmanship and playing ability in this game. Thus, this season, Salem Classical and High School proudly received top honors in the field of football. The team itself was composed of co-operative players who had but one all-important intention — bringing honor to Salem High School. Donald Poitras and Emilio Belleau were elected co-captains for the 1945 team. {69 Cheerleaders Alice Hennessey, Helen Holland Elaine Cronis Burt Berube Pat Simpson Alice Tarnowski Head Cheerleader Lorraine Tierney Larry Bois Elinor Cotter Pat Quinn Connie Harrison Virginia Knight An even dozen of peppy cheerleaders arranged several colorful and inspiring rallies, which were enthusiastically received by the entire student body. New cheers were introduced and found favor with the students. To complete their already successful season, the cheerleaders sponsored a dance enjoyed by all participants. •{70 Zmck Coach Philip Natalie The track team, coached by Mr. Philip Natalie, has some very prom- ising talent in Captain Richard Berry, fast sprinter, Don Goolsby, Armand Longval, Don Beal, and Henry Talbot. The team’s first meet was held April 19, at St. John’s Prep in Danvers and, although defeated, showed fine sportsmanship and promise for the future. Other meets are planned and Coach Natalie and his runners are especially looking forward to the Essex County Interscholastic meet at Lawrence on May 19. Coach Natalie plans to have boys enter the meet at Lynn English in preparation for this big event. New uniforms have been secured along with other new equipment and competition for starting positions has been very keen. Members of the team competing for starting positions are: Becker, Edward Durio, Donald Goolsby, Robert Kendall, Armand Longval, Edward Mack, Roger Nicholson, Stanley Stavisky, Eugene Street, Henry Talbot, Roger Steinharter, and Raymond Melanson.

The season was quite a success, taking into consideration that the local quintet had a late start due to the long football season, which was climaxed by the trip to Miami, Fla. Meo Belleau, only veteran from last year’s team, was elected captain and played a steady game at guard, being selected by many sports writers for the Essex County League All-Star Team. Cliff Roby and Joe Jodoin were high scorers for the local quintet, while Dick Winer and Sammy Doyle played a consistent game at their positions. A post-season game was played with Manchester Central, the state champions of the Granite State, which the local quintet lost 35 to 23. The Witches then entered the Lynn G. E. A. A. V. tourney, and were defeated by St. Mary’s of Lynn in the final moments of the game by the slender margin of 24 — 22, thus closing the basketball season of 1945. Baseball Coach Thomas McNamara Captain Tom Brennan The Baseball Team, under the capable direction of Coach Tom McNamara, who has replaced Glenn O’Brien, is confident of an excellent season. Although the only returning veterans are: Captain Tom Brennan, shortstop; Stan Kozloswki, third baseman; and Louis Shoer, second baseman; the Witches have several very promising players from the Legion nine, namely: John Ahern, ace pitcher; Kenny St. Pierre and Don Lamire, outfielders; Lester Keniff and Bob McHugh, pitchers. These boys, along with Armand Longval, Cliff Roby, Joe Tassinari, Dick Madore, John Condon, Bert Emerson, Jim Ryan, Larry Bois, and Bob Delande should give the Witches a very formidable ball team.

The club’s activities were to familiarize the boys with rifles, ammunition, and marksmanship, which will be very helpful to those who will be in the armed forces. This was done under the tactful supervision of Lieutenant Ober of the State Guard, and Mr. Foley of the Faculty. The members of the club were whole-heartedly co-operative and the keenest interest was evident throughout the year. It is hoped that the activities of this organization will continue in the future, and become a tradition at Salem High School. We, the members, wish to express our sincere thanks to those who made the Rifle Club possible. J75 Coach Joseph B. Smith Captain Squad Ray Pelletier Ray Pelletier Leo St. Pierre Jack Gilligan Donald Benson Dana Anderson Schedule Donald Daley May 7 Beverly at Salem May 10 Salem at Peabody May 24 Salem at Beverly May 28 Peabody at Salem The Salem High School Golf Team this year is entered in the North Shore Golf League, competing against other local high schools. This year’s team has but one veteran, Ray Pelletier, who, together with Jack Gilligan, promises to play an important part this season. The Golf Team lost the first match to Beverly with a score of 6-3, but a few days later were in rare form as they de- feated Peabody This shows that the boys are improving and should be a hard team to defeat in their future games. 06 (JiW Basketball Instructor Miss Hanify Senior Captain Phyllis Steinharter Senior Manager Ann Gray Assistant Senior Manager . Claudia Carson This year Junior and Senior Basketball Teams were organized under the capable direction of Miss Hanify. The seniors were victorious in the Round Robin tournament. At the end of the season, the ten best players were chosen from the Senior and Junior teams. This group played first at Danvers and then a return engagement at Salem. An enjoyable lunch and social hour followed each game. The players appreciated this type of activity and in the future more outside games will be planned. Under the competent and able direction of Miss Hanify the season proved a success. {77 Qirls ' Swimming Zeam Instructor Miss Mary Hanify Early in the fall a swimming group was reorganized under the direc- tion of Miss Mary Hanify, physical training instructor. Every Monday and Wednesday evening during the season, informal relays and water sports were enjoyed. At the present time, a Senior Life-saving group has been organized and the members are now practicing for their tests. This recreational swimming has been enjoyed tremendously by the participants. Other groups which were organized to satisfy the pupils’ desire for extra-curricular sports activities, are bowling team, the horseback riding group, and the badminton team. The badminton season was culminated by a double tournament, increasing the interest in this game. The winners were Naomi Simckes and Jeannette Prager. It is hoped that next year even more extra- curricular activities will be organized. 78 fOr 4rT EDITOf Annc Nichols CO-ART ED IT(| Rita.
