SALEM CLASSICAL AND HIGH SCHOOL - S H S 1953 P. T. KENNEALLEY Vice-Principal Dedication It is witli a feeling of deep sorrow that we, the Yearbook Staff, dedicate this year’s publication to the loving memory of our late vice-principal, Patrick Thomas Kennealley. Those of us who have worked with Mr. Kennealley know how much the burden of getting out the Year- book has rested on his shoulders, and we recognize the imprint of his personality upon it. His genuine interest in the pupils of Salem High and his devotion to his work have left an indelible mark on our memories. It has been a privilege to have known him and we shall remember always his warmth and rare combina- tion of human qualities which instantly and forever won our friendship. SHS PETER F. CARBONE Superintendent 1953 SALEM CLASSICAL AND , 4 Foreword As we, the class of 1953, prepare to gradu- ate from Salem Classical and High School, we look back upon four happy and eventful years. It is with profound regret that we leave behind us our principal, Mr. Arnold, and the members of the faculty, who have been so wise in their judgments and so untiring in their efforts to help us. However, we must also look ahead. We see before us a brighter future because of the days we have spent at Salem High.

This was the beginning of a chain of unforgettable events which continued unceasingly until June, 1953. After a few days of wandering around, hopelessly trying to find our classrooms in the three minutes allowed between classes, we began to settle down to a wonderful year of work and play. Our first formal get-together was our exciting Freshman Frolic, which gave everyone a chance to get acquainted with his new classmates. hen we entered our sophomore year, we began to feel more confident because we were no longer the babies of the school. We did not reach the point of electing class officers, but everyone cooperated in running a very successful Sophomore Hop. As juniors we experienced the thrill of electing our own officers. Michael Tivnan made an outstanding president; Peter Tierney did a very good job as vice-pres- ident ; John elcli, treasurer, handled the class finances quite smoothly; and Evalyn O ' Brien was a very capable secretary. Then came the colorful Junior Prom with the gym decorated to look as fresh as a spring garden. e finally made the grade as high and mighty seniors and we felt that we owned the world. We had class elections and elected a fine new president in Robert Cahill; we also re-elected Peter Tierney, vice-president; John Welch, treasurer; and Evalyn O ' Brien, secretary. W e ran a beautiful and successful W inter Dance. Our Basketball team became Essex County Champions and we journeyed to Boston Gardens for two nights to see them play at the Tech Tourney. Then we began work on our tremendous Senior Revue, “LET ' S MAKE NEWS”, which we presented to audiences on three successive nights, April 30, May 1, and 2. It is doubtful if there has ever been a class in which there was discovered a greater variety of hidden talent than in the class of ' 53. The fun and excitement that we had at rehearsals will never be forgotten nor will the Senior Revue Party held on May 20. Closing our senior year was a delightful series of dances and parties ending with the class banquet and reception, and the receving of our diplomas — those pieces of paper which stated that we had completed our school days successfully and were now adults with varied paths to travel; college, work and for some, the armed forces. Life’s cherished memories are both gay and sad. The joys of our years at Salem High School were tempered at the end by the loss of our beloved ice-Principal, Patrick T. Ixennealley.

Throughout its many years of existence, t lie Student Council has proven itself to be the most beneficial and active organization at Salem High School. Founded in 1938, the Council has three main purposes: to help make a more perfect school: to promote good feeling; and to create a more perfect understanding between the pupils and the faculty. This year has been an exceptionally successful one with many activities and social events. One of the Council’s more worthwhile activities was a “Get Out the Vote” drive in which it participated in conjunction with many other civic organizations. This drive received national recognition. The social events consisted of three very successful dances — a “Get Acquainted” dance; a Rasketball Victory Dance, after our team won the Essex County Championship; and a “Poor Man ' s Prom” to close the year’s social events. One of the most interesting assemblies of the year was sponsored by the Council. A young Harvard student, Kempton E. Webb, delivered an enlightening lecture on his South American travels. The accompanying slides were especially beautiful. Our most notable accomplishment was the establishment of a Memorial Schol- arship Fund in tribute to our late and beloved Vice-Principal, Patrick T. Kennealley. This fund will stand as a lasting memorial to a man who will always remain in the hearts of those who knew and worked with him. Yes, the Council has had an extremely successful year. Yet none of this would have been possible without the aid of our genial advisor, Mr. John R. Daly. We who have worked with him can never express enough gratitude to him. We are deeply grateful for everything that he has done for us and we wish him every success in the years to come. ■r r 9 9 9 9 r 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 w The Advance 1 si row: Roberta Whalley, Dorothy Dombrowski, Geri Liman, Louise Boyle, Patricia Yee, June Ablow, Yaira Ackerman.

Headliners that captured its readers’ interests were the Sports column, reviewing and bringing back pleasant memories and exciting events; the Exchange column whose quotes brought many a chuckle; and, of course, the excellent literary section containing a variety of reading matter. 1953 welcomed a new addition to the Advance family. Platter Chatter has completed its first and very successful year. In fact, the entire Advance, better known as the “ Monthly Informer , was of true interest to the school. Yet this success never would have been enjoyed by the staff and students if it had not been for M iss Glebows’ alert mind and helping hand in making the Society, Exchange, Sports, Alumni, and Music columns, as well as the Literary section, what they are. The Art Staff under the direction of Mr. Festus Rousseau produced many colorful covers to make the Advance rank first among schol magazines. With the help of Mr. Domenico Mizzi and his hustling business staff, the Advance ' s number of subscriptions reached a new high. The Advance staff of 1953 now relinquishes its position to the staff of 1954. W e hope that it, too, will maintain the high literary standards which have been so character- istic of all the past issues of the Advance. The 1953 staff wishes next year’s staff success and prosperity.

If this book serves to bring back pleasant memories of our high school years, then we have fulfilled our purpose. This Yearbook should always remain a precious memento of the highlights which the Class of 1953 en- joyed together — the Freshman Frolic, the Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, the Senior Revue, the Senior Class Banquet and the Senior Reception. Our joy in publishing this book has been lessened by our grief over the untimely death of our beloved advisor, Mr. P. T. Kennealley. However, we cannot express enough gratitude to the members of the faculty who took over and guided our efforts after this sad event. To Mr. Lawrence B. Fennell, Editorial advisor, Miss Margaret J. Yerrinton, Liter- ary advisor, Mr. Festus S. Rousseau, Art advisor, Mr. James J. Cunningham, Advertising advisor and Mr. Michael J. Murray, Circulation advisor, we are especially grateful. Lastly we wish to thank the members of the Yearbook staff and all the rest of the student body who worked so hard to insure the success of this venture. Seniors, here is your Yearbook. May its value increase with each succeeding year; and may it never cease to bring back pleasant memories of the happy years which the Class of 1953 spent at Salem High School.

For the second consecutive year, the Salem High School Dramatic Club pre- sented a highly successful three-act play instead of the conventional three one-act plays. The play, “The Divine Flora”, which was under the excellent guidance of John E. Tellier, was staged on February 27, 1953. A bevy of talented players smoothly unfolded the story and, with a delightful bit of “ad libbing”, sent the audience into hysterics. The story was woven around two ambitious boys and their work in changing an old-fashioned girl into a lovely and popular young lady. So superior was the work of the cast, that all deserved congratulations. It was agreed by people of experience that the play was one of the finest the Dramatic Club has ever presented. All the actors in the play had been trained in the art of acting in Speech I and II, under the auspices of Mr. Tellier. Besides being taught the physical aspects of speaking, the pupil acquired confidence, something most necessary to a speaker. A special thank you to Mr. Tellier is placed here for obvious reasons. A great deal of his valuable time was spent in moulding the cast into a successful team. We hear that he plans to terminate future work in this field, but we now ask Mr. Tellier to continue his fine work in preparing the stars of the future.

The Art Club of 1952-53, under the sponsorship of Mr. Festus Rousseau, got off to a flying start with an enrollment of forty-nine members. The pupils met every Tuesday afternoon to develop their skills in such mediums as charcoal, pen and ink, pastel, and water colors. Some of the students found pleasure in drawing from antique models. The members of the Art Club are very proud of their studio at Salem High School, a studio which has no equal anywhere in the state. This year the Art classes were conducted in a manner similar to the arrange- ment of a large advertising company. The pupils, under the direction of the layout man, Mr. Rousseau, demonstrated their ability to carry out assignments and to develop ideas that would increase the quality of the finished product. Through this method, the students who wish to enter the Art field gained valuable experience. All of the illustrations for the Yearbook were made by the pupils. They spent many painstaking and exacting hours to make the illustrations the best ever. The talents of the Art Club were in great demand by the upperclassmen when the annual Senior Revue came about. All the scenery used in the production was made by the combined efforts of the Art Club and the Shop course students. Pupils who join the Art Club and do the required work are elegible for merit badges in the Scouts. Music Club PRESIDENT Alicia Piasecki 1st row: Louise Belanger.

Beverly Harris The Music Club is an honorary organization consisting of boys and girls who in some way have contributed to the fine musical reputation of Salem High School. Mem- bership in the Music Club is given as an honor to all these outstanding musicians. This year, the Music Club with other interested pupils of the school attended a performance of ‘“Aida ' by the Metropolitan Opera Company in Boston. Attending an opera is one of the Music Club’s annual projects. The members of the Band, the Orchestra and the Glee Clubs who are selected to participate in the Massachusetts All-State Music Festival are automatically given honorary membership in the Music Club. This year, twelve promising musicians repre- sented Salem High School at the Festival, which took place in Springfield. Also honorary members in this club are the members of the Theory and Creative Music classes who have worked on the Senior Revue of this year and of preceding years. These pupils have orchestrated and arranged all the music of these productions. Any pupil who is interested in music as a vocation or as an avocation is in- cluded in this organization. It is from this group that soloists at assemblies are chosen. Our most prominent soloists have been Joanne Stafford, Carol Taglieri and Mary Ann Doherty, vocalists; Marie Pacheco, violinist; Beverly Harris and Alicia Piasecki, pianists. Our advisor for the past four years has been William DeVeau. Thank you, Mr. DeVeau, for making the Music Club a success. w W AT Movie Club PRESIDENT Leanne Kessler MCE PRESIDENT Bette Humphreys SECRETARY Aluriel Baker TREASURER Lois Rizoli 1st row: Sandra Pekin.

Mr. Edward McCabe has been the capable and diligent organizer throughout these years. This year ' s membership card, a facsimile of a camera fdm, was both original and attractive. During the year the Movie Club has been the official distributor of the colorful Salem High School book covers. The bright red witch on the shining white covers of the students’ books soon became a common sight. This spring, the Movie Club was honored by Mr. Arnold and Mr. DeVeau through an invitation to “shoot” an old time western silent movie as part of the 1953 Senior Revue, “Let’s Make News”. The setting was Bertram Field ' s rocky ledge and a Highland Avenue country road. The picture was the talk of Salem. Among the highlights of the year was a visit b y Mr. Edward Tufts, a member of the alumni, who showed vivid fire engine scenes to the members and their friends. Another particular thrill was the filming of the club members on the high school grounds, with a later showing of the photogenic “stars”. This movie was taken by the club’s own movie camera which could be borrowed by the members at any time. Since the organization of the Movie Club in 1936, it has functioned successfully due to the whole-hearted co-operation of the members and the wise direction of Mr. Mc- Cabe.

ACTIVITIES Having to acquire funds for its many important responsibilities, the Junior Red Ci ' oss Council during the past year has initiated many serious, amusing, and useful activities. One novel activity which was most useful as well as fun was our auction held at Christmas time. Our success was due largely to those two distinguished gentlemen, Donald Buckley and Henry (better known as Hank) Burns. Later in the year, we supervised two fudge sales and a fudge and cake sale as well. These were highly successful in the eyes of all, for who doesn’t like sweets? One of our more serious undertakings was the Junior Red Cross display in Liggetts’ window during the month of March. Our theme concerned the gift boxes and the many countries which receive them. W e know our undertaking was successful as many passers-by stopped to admire our work of art. Perhaps the most thrilling experience for many of us was our participation in Blood Donor Day. The girls who took part in this activity gave much needed help to the adult workers. They feel that they can now tell definitely which is the weaker sex. For every woman that fainted two men did. Several of our speech makers visited the grammar schools in the fall and told the pupils of the importance of the Junior Red Cross and launched the annual Gift Box Drive. One of our more profitable projects was the sale of emblems during the football season to inform our opponents just who we were. Doing this we feel that we have helped to increase the feeling of school spirit. Already we are making plans for bigger and better projects next year. We all know that if we have a chairman as capable and earnest as Rebekah Alpers aided by our advisor, Miss Miaskiewicz, we can’t help but succeed.

The Library Corps, sponsored by Miss Dorothy Amiable, librarian, is an or- ganization that exists to assist pupils and faculty in using the facilities of the school library. Membership in the Corps is an honor. Only students with good academic standing, pleasing manners, reliability, and school spirit are selected. It is composed of fifty-two pupils from the sophomore, junior and senior classes, each of whom gives at least one period a week as a library assistant. Members of this group not only have the benefit of cultural surroundings, but in addition learn how to repair books, use filing cabinets, lend books, and assist in reference work for students and teachers. During the early Fall the Library Corps helped Miss Amiable move the library into its newly decorated quarters. They also compiled a scrapbook of all t he school news- paper publicity for the year. As an added project the members studied book lists, and cur- rent reviews, then made recommendations of books to be purchased for the library. Corps members are also very proficient in making posters and arranging bulletin displays. Several weeks ago several members accompanied Miss Amiable to an after- noon meeting at the College of Liberal Arts, Boston University, at which Dean Shirley of the Pratt Institute Library School in Brooklyn told of various types of library work, and the opportunities in these fields. On Wednesday, May 27, the Library Corps held its annual party with the Messenger Corps. It was a gala affair with refreshments and entertainment.

Each year, under the expert guidance of William DeVeau, the club has presented several con- certs. The most prominent of these performances occurred during the Christmas season when the Glee Club presented a great number of concerts including school assemblies. This year the club presented programs at the grammar schools of the city and for many civic organizations, such as Lions, Rotary, and t he Kiwanis Clubs. The A Capella Choir is a group of outstanding vocalists who are selected from the entire Glee Club to perform special programs throughout the school year. Representing t his group at the Massachusetts All-State Music Festival in Springfield were Carol Taglieri, Joanne Stafford, Alicia Piasecki, and Louise Relanger. Besides being an extra-curricular activity, Boys’ and Girls ' Glee Club is offered as an elective in the school program. Nicholas Xjarhos, Kenneth Mizioch, Henry St. Pierre, and Edward Lavoie represented the Boys’ Glee Club at the Springfield Music Festival. From the glee clubs many successful quartets have been formed. These class quartets have performed for many clubs in Salem. The Senior Quartet, consisting of the girls who attended the All-State Music Festival, have given performances in Reading, Lynn, Brookline, and other surrounding communities. We wish to thank Mr. DeVeau for his excellent direction and for his tireless efforts in producing successful Glee Clubs.

The Clerical Service Corps, now in its second successful year, lias proven to be very useful to the school. Composed of 22 commercial upperclassmen, t he Corps takes care of all the typing and duplicating jobs for the faculty. Since its inception, it has proven to be of great assistance to those it lias served and has provided the members of the Corps with practical experience in assuming responsibility and handling miscellaneous jobs. The faculty greatly appreciates the services of the Corps, for the girls take com- plete charge of all copy work that needs to be done. A tray is provided in the office for teachers’ work and when the job is completed, the work is delivered to the teachers. The members voluntarily give up one study period each week, and there is a girl on duty at all times. The supervisor of the Corps keeps a record of all jobs that are completed. 1. Again this year, during the month of May, the girls assisted the School Department by helping to register the young children at the various grammar schools of the city. Miss Callahan, the school nurse, has complimented the girls on their efficiency. 2. All the members of the Corps are able to operate the various duplicating and mimeograph machines that are in Room 306. These girls know that this training will prove valuable to them in their future positions in the business world. 3. Sponsor of the group is Mr. Sidney Galper, Head of the Commercial De- partment.

During I he May vacation, the Geographical Society, composed of members from all four classes, made its biennial New York-W ashington tour. It was a banner year for the Society has one hundred and twenty-seven members, the greatest number of students ever enrolled. In order to leave more time for sightseeing, the trip was made by train, one of the important factors in making the trip such a great success. The members departed on Monday morning, May 1, for New York where they visited various points of interest and stayed at the Hotel Victoria for one night. The New York stay was highlighted by a guided tour of Upper Manhattan and the trip to the Perry Como T.V. Show. Proceeding from New York to the nation’s capital, the group which made the Hotel Annapolis its headvqarters for the remaining three days, visited the different his- torical shrines in and around Washington. As guests of ,1. Edgar Hoover, the travelers were taken on a tour through the F.B.I. Building. At the Capitol, the students met Con- gressman Bates who posed with them for a group picture. They spent one afternoon touring Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Franciscan Monastery, three beauti- ful places of real significance. The group had two excellent lunches at the cafeteria in the National Gallery of Art. For many of the students, the most outstanding experience in Washington was the tour of the Capitol. Mr. Arnold, our principal, and Miss Donovan, Miss Phelan, Miss Sobocinski, Mr. DeVeau, and Mr. Porockniak, all members of the faculty, accompanied the group. Many thanks to them for their untiring efforts to make the trip such a memorable and enjoyable occasion. Mr. Porochniak, as sponsor of the Geographical Society, was responsible for the arrangements and planning which contributed so much to the success of the trip.

Started in 1946, the Safety Patrol has now become an important factor in keeping the confusion in the corridors at a minimum. The group consists of boys chosen for their leadership and sense of responsibility. They are tireless in their efforts to keep the corridors and stairways orderly and safe. They deserve much credit for their faithful services each day. The student body wishes to express appreciation to the boys on the Safety Patrol. We realize how much they contribute to an orderly school. The faculty members have the deepest respect for these boys and hope they will continue to show the fine example of leadership they have had on the Safety Patrol. f f f f f ) Projectionists JJ Is row: Richard Hart, Warren Pauling. Joseph 2nd rotv: Richard Dempsey, William Burns, Wade. Michael Tivnan. Projectionists are very important pupils in the service of Salem High School; they are under the careful supervision of Mr. Arnold. Any teacher who wishes to have his class see a film may do so by getting in touch with a projectionist who will set up the film in the movie room in a very short time. There is a projectionist for every period of the day; therefore, it is possible to show the movie all six periods, if desired. Films pertaining to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, English, Spanish, Typewriting, Shop Machines, Current Events, Geography and many others are shown to educate t he student body further by means of visual education. The projectionists are equipped for anything that happens unexpectedly. Occasionally when the projector or film does not function correctly, the projectionist repairs it in the shortest possible time. hen this happens in the middle of an exciting film, the audience utters words of protest. From these experiences, projectionists not only gain experience but also the patience which is necessary for operating the projector properly. The projectionists performed a very important task for the Senior Class that would otherwise have cost a considerable amount of money. The projectionists spliced our silent movie for the Revue. The Senior Class of 1953 has expressed its appreciation to the projectionists for t lie excellent work they have done, and has congratulated them especially for the work they did on the silent movie.

The band, now in its twenty-eighth year, is an outstanding musical organiza- tion. This group is known throughout the city for its active part in civic affairs. It gained special prominence this year because of its excellent work at the Parade of Progress. The band ' s many programs during the winter added greatly to its reputation. Besides many performances for organizations and clubs of the city, the band brought de- light to many youngsters by performing throughout the city at the elementary schools. A special attraction of these programs was the brass choir consisting of trumpets, French horns, and trombones. The band is noted for its active participation at the football games and rallies. It will be especially remembered for the spirit it gave to the rooters at t lie Tech Tourney. The band, which is considered one of the finest marching groups in the city, is under the capable direction of Mr. Schein. Mr. Schein, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of .Music, and the Naval School of Music at ashington, D. C.. is responsible for the fine standing of the Salem High School Band this year. His youth and talents have caused a feeling of cooperation among all the band members. Thank you, Mr. Schein. We would like to express our gratitude to the kiwanis Club of Salem which has sponsored the Band for these twenty-eight years. Orchestra DIRECTOR Mr. Irving Schein Is row: Alicia Piasecki.

The Orchestra is one of t he finest extra curricular activities in the school. Besides playing lor all the school assemblies, the orchestra is often asked to perform at other events such as the Science Fair and Drama Night. it h Irving Schein as conductor, this orchestra has been outstanding on the North Shore. Being an elective on the regular program, Orchestra is open to any pupil who plays or is interested in playing an instrument. Mr. Schein presents such a variety of music that the musicianship, as well as the technical skill of these future musicians is well- rounded. Mr. Schein makes sure that the Orchestra is acquainted with all types of music, from Mozart to present-day jazz. Several outstanding members of this organization were chosen, early in the spring, to participate in the Massachusetts All-State Music Festival at Springfield. These were Frederick Krajeski, first trumpet; Harold Becker, second trumpet; and Ralph Arm- strong, French horn. All these fine players impressed their director with the quality of their playing. The orchestra will always be remembered for its assistance with the Senior Revue of R)53. Much time was devoted to the preparation of all the music, and the result- ing performance gave wonderful support for the many acts of the Revue. Thank you, Mr. Schein, for producing an orchestra of top standards. Guidance Assistants 1st row: Lorraine Sobocinski. Joan Guptill. Pa- 2nd row: Joan Regan. Barbara Berry.

The work of ' the Guidance Assistants lias a two-fold purpose at Salem High School; it is not only of value to the school, but it also affords valuable office training to the girls who participate in it. The assistants perform many duties, such as filing, mimeographing and rexo- graphing, typing of letters, sending for and filing of college catalogues, and carrying out any orders with efficiency and dispatch. The aim of the Guidance Department in working with student assistants is to give them an insight into the responsibilities and duties which will be expected of them when they enter the business world. In the efficient performance of the tasks involved, many enduring qualities are developed, such as initiative, responsibility, accuracy, willing- ness to follow instructions, and, most of all, the ability and competency needed to carry out assignments in future years.

The Salem Rotary Club, in keeping with its democratic policy, has extended a permanent invitation to several Salem High School Seniors to be its guests during the months of the school year. This year twelve boys were chosen to receive the honor of be- coming Junior Rotarians to attend the meetings of the Rotary Club of Salem in pairs, each pair attending every week for a month. The meetings are held in the ballroom of the Hotel Hawthorne every Tuesday at 12:15. These meetings consist of a luncheon, community singing and a short lecture. The meetings were greatly enjoyed by the Junior Rotarians. These boys were given an opportunity to meet and to talk with some of Salem’s most important citizens and businessmen on a social level. The speakers were always interesting, and their messages were highly instructive. The Junior Rotarians of 1952-1953 wish to thank the officers and the members of the Rotary Club of Salem for the kindness and hospitality extended to them. ■ vv 4 J J Messenger Corps PRESIDENT Joanne Stafford VICE PRESIDENT Geraldine Ryan SECRETARY June Brewer TREASURER Judy Laphani 1st row: Pat McCormick.

The Messenger Corps is an organization which ably provides messenger service for the faculty and office staff of the High School. Organized in 1947, by Miss Ida L. Blossom, the Corps has acquired an excellent reputation as an aid to the entire school. Memb ers of the Messenger Corps, who are required to give at least one period a week to the service of the Corps, are selected upon recommendation of their teachers, on the basis of dependability, integrity and self-reliance. A total of ninety pupils were selected for this season’s Messenger Corps. These members not only performed their required duties, but also voluntarily acted as ushers at the Parent-Teachers meetings and assisted the office secretaries by answering the tele- phone. In order to promote a spirit of friendliness among its members, the Messenger Corps holds many social events. The first meeting of the season was an inaugural event held in November, in which the members were able to get acquainted and plan for the season. A Christmas party was held in December, and in May a final meeting and party was held with the Library Corps. The faculty of Salem High Scool has expressed a deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation for the service and courtesy rendered by the Messenger Corps. It is due to the cooperation of its members and the untiring efforts of the faculty advisor, Miss Ida L. Blossom, that the Messenger Corps has been successful during its six years of existence. w ' W gjP E- Football COACH Francis Danciewicz ASSISTANT COACHES Mitchell Smiarowski, Angelo Nicketakis Is row: R.

Salem started I he 1952 season with six veteran starters from last year’s eleven. They included Captain Ron Normand, rugged line-plunging fullback; Ron Plante, a fine passer; Ed Jarzynka, a rangy end; Irv Felton, a two-year veteran at guard; Dick Silver, husky center; and George Levesque, a speedy half-back. Despite their mediocre record the Witches were very impressive on the gridiron.

This was the best record compiled by Coach “Boley” Danciewicz in his three year reign as head coach. The Salem team started the season with a stunning victory over Gloucester, only to be overcome the following week by the strong and experienced Lynn English team. The Witches hit the win column again by defeating Marblehead; however, due to a week’s lay off, they were hopelessly trounced by Lowell, the class A champions. At a time when spirit seemed low, Salem bounced back to rout Lynn Classical. The following week the j r 9 f r f CAPTAIN Ron Normand STUDENT MANAGER Richard Morin Witches continued to play good football, but could not overcome a fast and powerful Haverhill eleven. Then, on a snow-swept gridiron Salem lost a close, rough and spirited contest to Peabody. Hopes were high in the Salem camp after they whipped Saugus; but in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic, Salem was unable to emerge victorious. The Witches were led by one of the greatest players in Salem’s history, Capt. Ron Normand, a boy who would have been a certain All-Scholastic selection, if his team ' s record had been better. Along with Ron, Salem had a power-laden backfield consisting of the hard running George Levesque, speedy Ed Ciesinski, and versatile Ron Plante. The linemen were led by robust guard, Irv Felton. Other stalwart linemen were Jean Arsenault and Joe Tache at tackles, Ed Jarzynka and Don Pierce at ends, and Dick Silver at the center post. Bob Cahill played the role of utility lineman when his great play was needed. As reliable substitutes, the Witches had Ron Giunta, Ed Bowers, Frank O’Donnell, and Bob Ring. Ron Normand and Ed Ciesinski led the Salem scoring with 30 points apiece. Other point-getters were George Levesque with 24 and Tony Mento with 21. The Witches had a very capable and experienced coaching staff. “Boley” Danciewicz played for the University of Notre Dame and the professional Boston Yanks; “Angie” Nichetakis played for Boston College; “Mitch Smiarowski played for St. Bona- venture. Salem employed a fast-breaking T formation attack with a great variety of passing plays. The W itches with this style of offensive proved to be a very explosive team. Salem was proud to have three of its outstanding players selected to represent the North Shore in the annual All-Star game. They were Capt. Ron Normand, George Levesque, and Irv Felton. Ed Ciesinski, a tricky halfback, was elected captain of next year’s team. LETTERMEN: R. Normand, G. Levesque, R. Plante. R. Silver. I. Felton, R. Cahill, J. Arsenault, E. Jarzynka, D. Pierce, J.

Salem High School ' s 1953 Essex County championship basketball team proved to be one of the most remarkable teams in Salem’s basketball history. At the start of the year, Coach O’Brien faced an entirely new squad, completely devoid of any returning regulars. The “Cinderella” team swept through the Essex County League with only a single loss, then reached the semi-finals of the fabulous Tech Tourney before being out- witted, but not outplayed, by Durfee High School of Fall Biver. In non-league competition, Salem did very well, defeating many strong teams. One of t hese non-league victories came at the expense of an excellent Springfield Tech team which had defeated our great 1952 team quite decisively at Springfield. Salem was paced throughout the season by the brilliant all-around play of Co-Captain Larry Gallagher and the high scoring of Don Pierce. Pierce had a sensational season, averaging over twenty points a game and winding up w ith 407 points for the year, a Salem High basketball record. Bounding out the championship five were Co-Captain Tom Johnson, diminutive Art Liberge and pivot-man, John Connor. Leading substitutes were Chris Eliopoulous, Mike Tivnan, Ronnie Harrison. For the second year in a row, Salem went to the Boston Garden as the Essex County representative in the Tech Tourney. The Witches played a superior brand of ball in the opening round as they defeated New Bedford High in a thrilling overtime contest. In the semi-finals Durfee High, fearing Salem’s tremendous scoring power, played a very deliberate and possessive type of basketball. Salem’s boys were unable to solve Durfee’s style of play and w ere forced to accept defeat. Coach Glenn O’Brien and the boys gained the respect and admiration of everyone for the excellent brand of basketball and splendid sportsmanship displayed throughout the year. The fine w ork of Miss Hanify and t he cheerleaders won w ide acclaim. The story of t he “ itches Brew ’’ appeared in the Boston newspapers and was also televised throughout New England. Prospects are good for next year. The team will be led by Co-Captains-elect, John Connor and Arthur Liberge.

Mr. O’Brien is now recognized as one of the leading coaches in the state. Salem High School boys will never fully realize all the help Mr. O’Brien has given them. His excellent leadership both on and off the court has brought great credit to Salem High School.

They worked closely with the band, exhibiting many new routines and novelty arrangements. Mr. Ahearn, their very capable and talented instructor, put in many hours of hard work to prepare these girls for their performances. Under the able leadership of Lucille LeBlane, squad leader, and the fine show- manship of Virginia Evans, drum majorette, the girls exhibited many dazzling displays. Flagg Squad CAPTAIN Phyllis Lusko Sally Kingston, Nancy Smith, Barbara Harrison, Leah Della Monica, Joanne Kanze, Valerie Kot- kowski. The flag squad, under the student leadership of Phyllis Lusko, presented a striking appearance in their white uniforms brightly trimmed with red. They were out- standing as they led the band and baton squad onto the field between the halves of the football games. Their careful, rythmic marching steps proved that this year’s flag squad was truly one of which we could be proud. The flag squad wishes to thank Miss Ilanifey for her assistance and also all those who contributed in any way toward its success. Cheerleaders HEAD CHEERLEADER Judith Bilodeau Katherine Dion, Nancy Kingston, Patricia Nutting, Dorothy Thomas, Sylvia Morency, Joan Brown. Judith Lapham, Joanne Guiggio. The 1953 Cheerleaders, displaying much teamwork and pep under the able direction of Miss Mary Hanifey, became one of the most outstanding groups on the North Shore. They revised some of the standard cheers and introduced many new ones at the games and rallies. This year a new touch was added to the squad for they obtained new uniforms. Made of red and white corduroy, they added attractive color to the team of girls. In preparation for the traditional Salem-Beverly game the Cheerleaders pre- sented a skit depicting the downfall of Beverly. New cheers which were introduced raised the student morale to a high level. The annual Cheerleaders Dance was held on November 28, 1952 in the Salem High School gym. Students from surrounding high schools attended, with Beverly as a special guest. The dance proved to be one of the most successful events of the season. In March of 1953 the Salem High School basketball team won the Essex County Championship and was invited to the Tech Tourney at Boston Garden. The Cheerleaders put on two pep rallies and then led enthusiastic students in cutting paper for confetti and painting huge signs to hang in the Garden. Leading Boston papers agreed that Salem put on one of the best high school demonstrations in the history of the Boston Garden. The highlight of the demonstration came when the Salem Cheerleaders, with witches’ hats, capes, and brooms, danced around a smoking cauldron, supposedly putting a hex on the opposing team. Salem High School Cheerleaders are competitively chosen for their attractive appearance, personality, ability, pep, and popularity. This year ' s ten girls certainly proved that they were chosen for having all the requirements. As in years past, the graduating senior members will receive miniature silver megaphones in recognition of two years of service. The graduating members have enjoyed being on the cheerleading squad and wish the incoming groups a great deal of success and enjoyment in the coming year.

Starting off in fine fashion, the Salem High School hockey team established itself as a league threat by defeating several strong teams. Spirit was high and it looked as though a banner year were in store for us. After such an encouraging start, however, the team lost six games by one-goal margins. Paul Cote was very steady in the nets, but the Salem pucksters could not outseore the opposition. Salem ' s overall scoring record in no way reflected the quality of the team. Cap- tain Jack Welch ranked high in the League scoring race. Paul Butler was judged by many to be the best skater in the league. Dick Savage never ceased hustling. George Ryan and Dick LTtalien did a creditable job on defense. Bruce O’Brien deserved a hand for his faith- ful work as student manager.

This year under the brilliant tutelage of Coach Carl Orcutt Salem High School track team had its finest year since the sport was inaugurated many years ago. In the Fall, the cross-country team climaxed a successful season by capturing sixth spot in the annual Cross-Country State Meet. In the Winter the Indoor track team did exceptionally well, finishing third in the Metropolitan Indoor League. Salem also attracted attention at the meet in the Gardens. Tivnan, Dash and Bruce scored five points. The track team progressed very favorably out-doors also. It won its share of dual meets and did very well at the Essex County Meet, scoring 23 points, its highest total at any time. This year ' s boys set many records for Salem High; records which should give the underclassmen of future years something to aim for. They are: 10.4 seconds in the 100 yd. dash, 23.1 seconds in the 220 yd. dash, 53 seconds in the quarter-mile, 2 minutes, 10 seconds in t he half mile and 4 minutes, 40 seconds in the mile. Outstanding performers were Tom Steeves in the dashes, Mike Tivnan in the quarter mile, Bill Mackey in the half mile, Doug Dash in the mile, Bill Nicholson in the hurdles, Ken Bruce in the high jump, and Richard Dempsey in the shot put.

In spite of the fine coaching of Dick Delande, the Salem High School baseball team did not fare very well this year. The team had many individual stars and fine per- formers, but they just did not function as an efficient unit. Hank Burns along with Ed Ciesinski, bore the brunt of the pitching assign- ments. Ciesinski has developed into one of the league’s finest hurlers. Burns also pitched very well but was troubled by lack of spuport in the late innings. Mike MacDougal, an ace “fireman” rounded out the pitching staff. Captain George Ryan found his batting eye midway through the year and led the team in hitting. Bill Cullen and Ron Plante both heavy hitters, shared the catching duties. Courtney Brown developed into a fine de- fensive star around the “key stone sack”. Leading the outfielders was the powerful Irv Felton.

Tlie Salem High School golf team got oil ' to a very disappointing start. With four returning veterans from last year ' s championship team, the Witches expected to be top contenders for the title along with St. John’s Preparatory School. The Witches lost their opening match to the “Prep by the close score of 5-4. After this match, the spirit of the boys was shattered and they lost their next two matches while the “Prep went on to win the title. This year ' s team consisted of C.o-Captains Jack Welch, Dick Hart and Dick Savage along with Paul Quinn, Chris Eliopoulos, and James Coughlin. These boys are all good golfers who will certainly make up for their poor season in the coming summer tourna- ments.

Some of the members of last year’s squad who are returning for the spring games are Helen Dounelis, Joyce Cook, Frances Flashner, Anne McCarthy, Sally Kingston, Evalyn O’Brien, Eliza- beth McCarthy and Tina Scialdoni. The girls will meet stiff competition against Swampscott, Danvers, and Marble- head in early games. At a later date, the Salem girls will again face each of these same three teams on “Field Day.” On this day, ribbons will be presented to the best players and to the winning team. Besides playing outside competition, the girls play against each other in class games and red and white team games. This year the white team defeated the red team in two close games by scores of 1-0, and 5-4. We are forever grateful to Miss Hanifey for her help in coaching us. Without her skill and understanding, we would have had no team. Girls’ Basketball COACH Miss ictoria Kopaczynska 1st row: Joyce Cook.

Along with the dead-eye shooting of “Liz” McCarthy, Eileen Flynn and Yal Kotkowski, and with the guarding of Evie O’Brien, Judy Lapham, Helen Dounelis and Fran Flashner, the girls formed a fast -moving team after playing against stiff competition. One of the outstanding games of the season was the first game between Swamp- scott and Salem. Of great advantage to the Swampscott girls was their height. Neverthe- less, Salem’s fast-moving guards succeeded in keeping the score down. At the beginning of the season, Salem faced its arch-rival, Beverly. The Salem players “clicked,” and played a smooth, swift game; and although it was close, Salem showed its superiority from the start and came through with another win. Under the capable coaching of Miss Kopaczynska, the girls ended the season with three wins and one defeat. } f? 9 9 9 V f 7 7 f 0 0 Girls Field Hockey % COACH -Miss Mary Hanifey CAPTAIN Frances Flashner Is row: Patricia Griffin.

Salem Salem Salem Salem 1 Marblehead 2 0 Swampscott 3 0 Danvers 5 0 Swampscott 3 This was the first year in which the girls participated in Field Hockey, a recent addition to the girls sports program. Field Hockey is also a favorite sport in many other high schools along the North Shore. The members of the Salem High team had no previous experience in field hockey. Despite this fact, they faced keen and experienced opponents with the spirit of true sportsmen. Field Hockey requires speed and accuracy on the part of the players. The front line oi offense is composed of the center, one of the most vital positions on the team, the right and left inners, and right and left wings. The backfield or defense consists of the center halfback, right and left halfbacks, and the right and left fullbacks who help the goalie defend the goal against the attack of the opposition. Many thanks are extended to Miss Hanifey and Miss kopaczynska for their untiring efforts in teaching us the skills of field hockey. Me also wish the field hockey team of 1954 every success in their contests.

The object of the Red and hite Council is to encourage all girl students of the Salem Classical and High School: 1. to participate in its activities, 2. to promote interest in athletic and recreational activities, 3. to further in every way the physical well-being of the girls, 4. to foster a spirit of friendship and co-operation Two representatives are elected from each class plus the Red and White cap- tains from the Red and hite Council and they govern the requirements of all sports. The members of the Red and White teams participate in competitive sports against each other. Their objective is a loving cup to be presented to the winning team. Last year the Red team received the cup. So far, the Reds have won in field hockey and in basketball while the White’s have won in volleyball and in badminton. The two remaining sports, softball and tennis, will be played at the end of the season. These will decide the winners of the cup for the year 1953. The games played throughout the year were very exciting and the girls enjoyed their participation in these competitive sports. The scores of some games were very close and, since a few of them were tied, overtimes had to be played. Letters and blazers were awarded to the girls who have earned their points. The seniors receiving white blazers this year are: Joyce Cook, Helen Dounelis, Fran Flashner, Sally Kingston, Judy Lapham, Ann McCarthy, Evie O ' Brien. The seniors receiving letters this year are: Rebekah Alpers, Judy Bilodeau, Joan Brown, Marie Pa- checo. 18 9 9 RADIO EQUIPPED AND AIR CONDITIONED NEW STREAMLINE COMFORTABLE COACHES TO ANY POINT IN NEW ENGLAND OK CANADA “Win Take Less Than The Best?” MICHAUD BUS LINES, INC.
