2 - WE INHERITED THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Several years ago, Superintendent E, S. Kerr and the Board nf Education saw the need for expansion in the public schools and so undertook a building project. Since they realized that Salem's increasing population would first affect grade schools, the early stage of the program was spent in adding annexes to Reilly, McKinley, Buckeye, Prospect, and Fourth Street. Lastly, a modern new senior high school was constructed. With the completion of the building program, a new and better division of classes called the 6-3-3 plan, six years of grade school, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school, replaced the former 6-2-M system. Last fall the senior high students occupied their new building and the junior high students inherited the former three grades in each building, all students have ample class- rooms, and there is less crowding. Salem may well be proud of and grateful for the insight of those devoted to the education of the town's young people. . Q WE WERE TOP MEN We were the class that got stuck in between. Yes, we were the ninth graders who made the transition from the 6-2-ii plan to the 6-3-3 system. We lost the title and position of Freshmen of Senior High School, but we became the upperclassmen of Junior High School. Although a few of us complained about losing the benefits of being a part of the new Senior High School, others felt there were many compensations in being the leaders for another year. We exercised the privilege of electing subjects of our own ChOi0G. Many of us became acquainted with algebra, orientation, and mechanical drawing. A few of us dared to venture into Latin and world history. Our teachers not only taught us our subjects well, but they spiced our classes with humor and interest. No algebra student will ever forget Mr. Hoopes' signs or his witty remarks. No history student can forget the Boers. No Latin student can forget how entangled he became with verb and noun endings. We experienced many firsts this year of l953-59. We were the first ninth grade class of Salem Junior High School to have graduating ceremonies. We had the first ninth grade football team. Our track team beat East Palestine for the first time in many years. We elected class officers, who will serve next year in this capacity, for the first time. We had a good year filled with activities and school work. We are grateful to our principal and teachers for their patience and guidance in helping us to prepare for our next plateau of learning. h
