To the graafuateai of 1953 This has been an eventful year for Bowen High School. A new Auto Shop, modern in every detail, has just been completed. The other shops are being rehabilitated. Many other minor improvements have been effected. This is indeed pleasant news. But even more pleasant has been the success of many members of this graduating class in winning scholarships, thus insuring con- tinued education for themselves. In some cases this further education would not otherwise have been possible. These scholarships were won in competition with many students from various high schools. V The entire personnel at Bowen is happy because of these successes. All of us share in these successes. We know that these winners are being repaid for their efforts during their high school days. We sincerely hope that their efforts in college will achieve similar success. To all, I say you, too, can be successful. Your success can be in the field of citizenship, a field which embraces the most important phases of life. These are your relations to God and to your fellow man. The measure of success for each of you will be in the degree to which you work out these relations in your daily living. My sincere wish is that each of you will be truly faithful to God and to your fellow man. Very sincerely yours, M Gy!! Principal Mr. Hearne addresses the P.T.A., inspects thc progress of the new auto shop, greets a Bowen graduate, attends a student party.

GOLDBERG In the years to come, on some occasional quiet evening, as you turn the pages of this book and recall the many incidents and activities of high school, you will relive the glorious and carefree high school days of your youth. The pictures and words of this annual will bring back with keen and knowing interest your former associates, favorite club, the teams on which you played, and perhaps a former charmer of the heart. You will see, also, through your powers of memory, the classroom setting, the little variations in your former teachers' mannerisms, and if you are with former classmates, you will discuss all pet peeves which were so involved in your life, for it is the only recorded instrument through which you may continue to vividly retain the years you spent at Bowen. May your days ahead prove to be as fruitful, invigorating and thought-provoking as the time you spent at Bowen, and may they also be happy and prosperous ones as you journey through life. fy? .I- ic Assistant Principal Ten gc
