It 1S with great pride and pleasure that we the Senior Class of 1954 dedicate this year s Spectator to one who is more than deserving of the honor Mrs Irene Mahoney our advisor. Our four successful years in Watervliet High School have been due mainly to the patient guidance of our advisor. Although she will never be fittingly re- paid we hope she will always carry with her the knowledge that she has been of inestimable aid to a class that could not have done without her.
