f V In memoriam of Margaret Dovenberg who is deeply missed by her classmates and all of us of the W est Salem High School. PEOPLE LIKED HER People liked her. not because She was rich or known to fame; She had never won applause As a star in any game. She was not a brilliant style, She had not a forceful way. But she had a gentle smile. And a kindly word to say. Sort of girl you’d like to be: Balanced well and truly square: Patient in adversity, Generous when her skies were fair. Never lied to friend or foe. Never rash in word or deed, Quick to come and slow to go In a neighbor’s time of need. Never rose to wealth or fame. Simply lived, and simply died. But the passing of her name Left a sorrow, far and wide. Not for glory she’d attained, Nor for what she had of pelf. Were the friends that she had gained. But for what she was herself.

These plans were heard by all in school, for on the day of initiation the Freshies had to get down on their knees, bow, and say ‘Allah” to any Sophomore whom they might meet. Some time after the initiation, plans for the Carnival were brought into prominence and the Sophomores chose Mary Wolter to be their candidate for Carnival Queen. This class, being a very enterprising one. has sponsored many successful candy sales throughout the entire year. Besides having many of their class members in the extra curricular activities of the school, the class also has contributed three of the five boys who are in the popular “Crackerjack” orchestra. One member of the class plays on the ‘'first” basketball team. We seniors sincerely hope you will continue to have the vitality and pep which you have shown in the first half of your high school life. Best wishes to an energetic class! Page Twelve 1

Twining, Miss Hill CANDID SNAPS OF THE FRESHMEN By Senior Snooper, the eyes and ears of Salem Hi Norman Eickhoff.........Manager Violet Severson........Tax Collector Norman Howe.............Assistant Beverly Justin..............Scribe Miss Hill.........................Overseer On September 9. 1941 “wee” little Freshies stumbled and staggered into the assembly. After the usual scarry and frightening initiation given by the Sophomores, the Freshies began to feel more at home. Soon it was discovered that many of them were musically and athletically inclined, and our established organizations received new life from them. After getting acquainted, the Freshies decided that Violet Severson. their tax collector, would be their candidate for Carnival Queen. Seeing that the upper classmen would pay due respect to them, the Freshmen decided to give a return mixer for the Sophomores and invited the rest of the ”hi” school. This is about the extent of the class activities to date, but plans are now being discussed on preparation of “8th grade day” started by this year’s seniors. It doesn’t seem as if we could have ever been freshmen, but that’s what they tell us. In fact, the teachers even tell us (sometimes) that we still act like Freshies. Lots of luck in your next three years, and more power to you! Page Fourteen
