MARY LEWIS JOHNSTON .................,... ............. .... S a lem, Virginia Her angcl's face, As the great eye of heaven, shined bright, And made the sun .shine in a shady place. This is indeed Mary Lewis. She is one of the most beloved members of the Class of '21 She has dedicated all to the bettering of her mind, and with what great success her classmates can bear witness. But somehow she always has the time to help a fellow classmate. To be an object of love and admiration is an honor that never comes underserved, and the place that Mary Lewis holds in the hearts of her classmates as well as in those of certain members of R.

T H E O R A C L E Senior Class History O 0 O T was in September of I9 I 9, that the Class of '23 entered the wide- open doors of dear old Salem High School, inspired by its inher- ent thirst for the bright jewels of knowledge and wisdom. We soon became aware that we belonged to that abominable class called Rats, and indeed the boys had this impressed upon them by an occa- sional belt or book strap. But such is the common lot of Rats and we were comforted with the pleasing thought that we should soon be bloody-Sophsn ourselves. About the time we became accustomed to the slams usually hurled at Rats a real calamity befell us. One morning, without warning, it was announced in Assembly that all girls in the Freshman Class would hereafter find their home room in what is now Room 22, chaperoned by Miss I-lousman. Tlhe boys were assigned to Room ZI , to be more closely chaperoned by Miss Shipman. We thought this was hard enough, but in the middle of the year, what should be ushered into our Class but twenty additional members from the ranks of what was long known as the Lap Class. We know that this was not very agreeable to the original- members of '23, but as the Historian happened to be one of this class, we will pass on without further discussion. After a year's accumulation of wisdom and knowledge we became Sophs and Upper-Classmenn with the privilege of hazing the Rats We at once won Miss Jones' favor by reading Caesar very fluently It soon became evident that our Class rated very high in both athletic and literary activities, which has been vividly brought forth in our successes along these lines in our high school career. The great social event of the year was a hike to Pot in the Rock given the Seniors by our Class. The next session we were juniors. We were introduced to Cicero, whom we finally overcame by the occasional use of a horse or pony. Also many interesting Shakespearean plays were read and we leamed how to prove l 2 0. Of course, we had no trouble at all with Miss Duncan's easy history. - As Juniors, many stars, in all three sports, came forth from our ranks. In addition to these honors, the declamation medal was won by a brilliant member of our Class. The great social affair of this year was the usual Junior-Senior Reception. A very interesting hour was spent vxnth the entertaining part of the program, after which the eats were attractively served in cafeteria style. C321
