SAT.EM, Ore,, Oct, 15 Secret
societies in Salem hih school,
which have worried school" author

the school board again last night
when Principal Fred Wolf, through
City Superintendent George Hug,
asked for 1200 copies of the anti
secret society pledge that students
have hpen required to sign for
several years.
Mrs. Roy Keene, only woman
member of the hoard, branded the
pledge as a "lot of bunk" and said
she wasn't In favor of students
signing it. Other members fell in
line.
Superintendent Hug suggested a
meeting of the parents of known
"frat" members and ask them to
help solve the problem. This did
not meet with favor. Director
Frank Neer declared high school
fraternities should he legalized, or
the state law against them made
more drastic. He also thought thev
should be supervised. Superinten
dent H'ig said supervision had
been tried and failed. Hug said
his son had been a member and
he didn't know it until the boy
was Lhroueh school,
"You were the onlv one in town
who didn't know it. Neer said.
Director Mark McCallister de
clared something should be dope
