£ Ckouk In September of 1953, a group of young, inexperienced students, nervous with anticipation and thoroughly awed by the upperclassmen, crossed the portals of Salem Classical and High School. It didn’t take long for them to become an integral part of S. H. S. They soon shared with the rest of the student body joys, problems, victories, feats, happiness, disappointments. They added to the vitality of the school by sponsoring their Freshman Frolic. This presented an opportunity for them to meet one another socially and to start them on the pathway to unity. Now as the respected, admired, and frightened upperclassmen — Sophomores — they organized the Poor Man’s Prom” and became more and more like one group rather than a number of individuals. As Juniors, they displayed their good judgement and faith in people by electing four of their best classmates as class officers. Working together, they planned square dances and a ski trip. They obtained their first material sign of advancement — class rings — which are made of impressive black onyx bear- ing the Salem witch. Finally the social event of the year, the Junior Prom. This affair certainly confirmed their extreme unison and co-operation, for they held the best prom ever contained in those hallowed walls. Seniors at last! The square dances, the newly initiated Christmas Ball, the excellent Revue,” and the long anticipated Senior Reception, all contributed to the enjoyment and oneness of this incomparable class. Graduation Day — a happy day, and yet at commencement exercises, most realized that besides beginning a new life, they were unwillingly ending the old one. Their unity of body is gone, but never their unity of spirit, never their treas- ured memories, never their mementos of their high school life. It was a full life; it was a happy life; and above all, it was a united life. This was the Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-seven!!!

DedlcatiM During the four years that we spent at Salem High— years that have been both fruitfu l academically and happy socially — the faculty have been our edu- cational leaders and our friends. They have been genial and patient as teach- ers in the classroom, and friendly and congenial in our social affairs. They have taught us much by example, as well as by word. To the entire Salem High faculty, as well as the principal, Mr. Arnold; to the vice principal, Mr. Tivnan; and to all the other administrative members of the faculty, we, the class of 1957, are duly grateful. Our gratitude can be expressed in no better way than by this dedication of The Witch,” sincerely made and thankfully offered.
