The Salem High School Alumni Association strives to sustain friendships and memories of high school days in many ways. Its database helps graduates stay in touch and facilitates class reunion efforts. The association's collection preserves SHS mementos, and its newsletter provides information about SHS alumni and association activities. Most importantly, to fulfill its primary mission,  the association awards several dozen scholarships annually to deserving graduates.

Above picture: As so many did for decades, the Class of 1921 poses in front of Fourth Street School.The building was eventually used as the junior high and then became an elementary school. Storm damage prompted its permanent closure in 1967. Though the three-story brick building no longer stands, many memories endure among SHS alumni of the lessons learned inside its massive walls.
