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

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1968 volume:

Illi Illi DEDICATION As we, the 1968 graduating class look back on our days at Bishop Forest, outstanding among our memories are those times spent with Father Myron Swize. The true heart of Bishop Forest, he instil- led in the students a new spirit and love for their school. Wherever the students were, Father Swize was--from football games to C. Y.O. meetings to the dairy mart. He gave so much to B.F.H. in the short time he was here. His guiding hand directed us not only in moments of happiness, but also in troubled times. Father was never too busy to listen to anyone, no matter how trivial his problem was. A truer friend cannot be found. Father, we ask that God reward you because we know we never can. Also, the Seniors would like to thank the P.T.C. for the financial aid given to the Silvascope. Without their generosity completion of this annual would not have been possible. 2 ADMINISTRATION MOST REVEREND ROBERT E. LUCEY S.T.D. MOST REVEREND Archbishop of STEPHEN A.
