6,26 Glass of MR. IAMES I. McGOWAN .dn Gfppreciafion Keen sense of judgement, witty remarks and a rollicking sense of humor are all phrases describing our friend Mac, an unsurpassed advisor to the Senior Class. His frank ad- vice and calm assurance will long be cherished in our mem- ories. We, the Class of 1954. extend our deepest apprecia- tion for his wise counsel and sincere companionship in all our endeavors. IN MEMORIAM The death of our classmate and friend, Gertrude Polanow- ski, is an occurrence which stands out in sharp contrast to the happy events of this school year. Her sweet personality and kindly ways had been a cheerful aspect throughout the days. She will long be remembered by the Faculty. Senior Class and Student Body as a true friend to everyone and a great asset to Meyers High School. We regret her loss to the Class of '54,
