Salem High School - Witch Yearbook (Salem, MA)

THE GOLDEN YEARS Four years at Salem High have just ended. Another chapter in the fas- cinating book of life has concluded, transforming children into informed and able young adults. From this steppingstone of high school, we are now ready to enter into the world and make our mark. We are ready for this adventure. Salem High has given us the priceless gift of GROWTH. With the education of the youth of Salem as its prime objective, the faculty of dedicated teachers has provided us with the intellectual op- portunity for MENTAL GROWTH. Skills, trades, and fundamental knowl- edge are the rewards for the combined efforts of teachers and students. The most obvious effect of our years here at Salem High is PHYSICAL GROWTH. Whether in interscholastic varsity competition, intramural activities, or physical education and health classes, we have shared in that unbeatable spirit that dominates every field of athletic endeavor from gridiron to cinder oval. SOCIAL GROWTH has been, perhaps, the most enjoyable. Learning to live with our neighbors, enjoying the benefits of mutual friendship- all have been gained through participation in extracurricular activities. The most important growth, however, is SPIRITUAL. We have learned to live to know ourselves and our fellow man, and above all, we have learned to meet the problems of modern society. The glorious era of high school is over. The Class of 1958 has joined the thousands of past graduates. Now, we, too, are a part of that noble tradition— The Salem High heritage. Yes, these have been truly wonder- ful years— times of gay laughter, tearful sadness, and hopeful dreams. We bid farewell, ALMA AAATER, with sadness and gratitude. Shall we ever forget you and these— the GOLDEN YEARS? Ralph Sloan Editor-in-Chief
