Bishop Forest High School - Silvascope Yearbook (Schulenburg, TX)

2 Dedication The Annual Staff dedicates this third edition of the Silvascope to Larry Bartosh, Jimmy Hajovsky, and Herbert Lee Zimmermann, who were killed in a tragic automo- bile accident in early April. For three years these boys were a part of Bishop Forest. It seems they were called to God when their lives had hardly begun. But their high school days were brought to an end abruptly--their work was satisfactorily completed at the early age of 16.
