I wish to thank tne faculty, Mr. Whitehurst, Miss Wilkinson, our faithful sponsor, and the Staff for their long and tireless help. Also I wish to thank each and every one who has helped in any way. Without them, I could not have put forth a yearbook of which you would be proud. The Toag Staff and I hope that, as you look through the pages of this book, it will hold all the memories of Groesbeck High School. We give you the “Taog of 1949.'

Good-fellowship is one o f the elemental things--rooted in man with good and evil, love and hate. Its temples are wherever good men get together--its shrines and sanctuaries are in the hearts of men. Rites, religions, men, and measures pass--Good-fellowship remains; for it is eternal love of life, eternal faith, eternal charity and cheer. Sincerely yours. Students, In order to be very successful, a school must run harmoniously. There must be unity of spirit, good team work, and cooperation among classes. The welfare of the entire student body is of the greatest concern. Make your class the best that has ever graduated from Groes-beck High School, but above all make Groesbeck High School the best school from which you could be graduated. “Every life is to help all lives; each man should live for all men’s betterment.” Principal, Groesbeck High School r s. c.c.c oxv eX C ys.

The days before us stretched as long As the road from earth to sky! The Freshman year seemed difficult, But soon it passed away, And we realized if we studied hard. We would reach the top some day. Our Sophomore year held many joys, For more new friends we made: Our principal, teachers, girls, and boys-- Friendships that never fade. When our Sophomore year was over. Forward we marched again For our Junior year, which was full of fun. And some scholastic pain. When our Junior year had ended, Another step we advanced; So proud we were to be Seniors That we very nearly pranced! Our Senior year had come at last, The year of our glory’s height!! But all too quickly it has passed. For commencement is now in sight. Four eventful years have gone--- The time has seemed to fly! But in our hearts there remains a song---- 'The Spirit of Groesbeck High”. Since we must leave and onward go. Let us now say goodbye. And keep forever within our hearts, Our love for Groesbeck High. Patsy Garrett CLASS HISTORY Bill England In September of 1 944, a class of 56 e n te r e d the halls of Groesbeck High. We were ready for a long hard battle, which would take all our energy, work, and determination to win. All of us knew that some would make the top, but not all. This made us a 11 the more eager to accomplish our goal. At the close of our freshman year the battle had proved costly. From the ranks of our once massive army 19 had seceeded. Our army was depleated but far from destroyed. The remainder,who had survived, re-grouped and prepared to fight again. Our Sophomore year began. Thirty-six veterans made the bulk of our fighting force. Ten volunteered to join the cause. They w e r e Charles Burke, Billy Joe Gregory, Janette Moore, Sue Sims, Joanne Bryant, Elton Kessner, Billy Joe Tatum, Patsy Garrett, and David McLelland. Our number increased to 46 with these recruits. We entered again upon another scene of conflict. Our force was smaller but our confidence greater. The past had left with us some experience, but our dauntless force was far from seasoned to the ways of battle. At the close of this battle, our Sophomore year, 33 remained. Of the ten recruits that joined only two passed the test, David McCelland and Patsy Garrett. At the b e g i n n i n g o f our Junior year, 36 were to carry the fight to the enemy. Three joined to help us accomplish our cause. They were Margaret Ray O’Hara, Hiram Watson and Merle Brown. The fury of the battle increased but we bravely fought on, constantly seeking what destiny veiled. When the smoke lifted and the field cleared, another victory we had won, butfate, too, had claimed its toll. Wehad lost Odessa McClinton, Billy Hindrix, Merle Brown, Billy Joe Gregory, and Joyce Doss. When our senior year began, all knew this would be the hardest test of all, but if we won the glory was ours forever. Our force numbered only 32, but what we lacked in number w e doubled in determination. An now that the dawn has broken we stand erect, proud, and triumphant, for we have conquered. This is only the beginning. Our real history is y e t to be inscribed in the annals of time, for we shall pioneer the future of our country and set for th the principles of democracy at home and to the four corners of the world, and as we pass others will take our place.-We shall never die, for the “Spirit of the Forty-niners” is immortal. WILL OF CLASS OF 49 I, Bobby Gill, in my right mind and of sound health now make this, the Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 49 of Groesbeck High School. The Will is as follows: Billy Aman wills his friendliness with the girls to PaulGregory a nd Billy Browder. They are cute, aren’t theyl Pat Garrett and Ruth Neundorfer will their interest in A M and Mexia to Betty Blake. What’s your bait, girls ? Sambo Wiley, James Popejoy, C. O. Patterson and Hiram Watson will their little hiding place to Frank Brodnax and Franklin Gayden.(Where is it boys)? Betty Burleson and Marlene Roberson will their interest in Ben Hur to Linnie Robertson and Helen Burleson. Who do you know over there girls ? ? ? Holloway Martin and Margaret Ray O’Hara will their good company to Lenoel Alewine and Mary Parmley. (A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush, isn’t itboys?) Betty Webster and Janey Vinzant will their good looks and figures to Martha Longbotham and Carolyn Whitehurst. Benson Pollock and Willard Dugan will their shyness to Dwain Popejoy and Kenneth •Burleson. Whats wrong,boys ? David McLelland leaves his ability to get out of the seventh hour to Billy Blackmon. Boy, your gonna need it....... Albert Glasco w i 11 s his little “out of town” address book to Jimmie Joe Rand. James Lindley and Leslie Black leave their ability to be exempt in Trigonometry to Charles (Alfafa) Shreves and Lynn (Hamburger) Hiller. Mary Goodrich leaves her “whiz” brains to Sonya Gladbach. Loren Cur lee, Jackie Joe Wilson and Arden Wilkinson leave their little laugh to Wendel Outlaw and Jimmy Joe Rand. Willy England wills his way to sleep in class and get away with it to David Barron. Does he need it, though? Martha Slaughter and Barbara Jordan will their shorthand note books to Floyce Pickens, Hazel Stephens, Elva Mae Shockley and Agnes Gantt. Jolene Kidd wills her interest in Teague to Irma Grimes. Mary Le Noir and Mary O’Neal leave their good companionship to Freddie Little and Barbara Toney and Bobby Nell Comer and Janie Lynn Cox. Elizabeth Hancock wills her “lov’em and leav’em” attitude to Jean Jackson and Virginia Andrews. C. O. Patterson wills his way with the women to John Nabors. What aboutthat, girls?? Johnnie Little wills her ability to play volleyball to Jo Deen Hand. We want some trophies nextyear, girls. All the senior boys who hunt on Baines Creek will their share of Coons, Opossums, and Skunks, to James Stockton. (Have a good time, George)...... The entire Senior Class wills the ability to have a nice time on the Senior Trip to the Juniors. I now declare this for the last will I am making for the Senior Class of 1948 and 1949 Groesbeck High School this 27th day of May, 1949. PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’49 Holloway Martin May 27, 1959 I was sent to cover a news assignment in one of the larger cities of our country. 1 stayedata large hotel and on arising the next morning I decided to take a stroll before breakfast. I stepped out of the hotel onto the already crowded side walk. I started walking in the fresh airland who should I see but my old classmate Arden Wilkinson. I greeted Arden and asked him to join me in my stroll. Arden said that he had started to breakfast and asked me to join him. I accepted,and we went to a shining new building, not far from my hotel,which Arden said was a new restaurant recently constructed by Loren Lee Cur lee and Leslie Black. We went in and chatted with Loren and Leslie awhile and then sat down to have breakfast. I thought the waitress looked familiar in the distance, and when she got closer I saw that it w a s Mary Katherine Lenoir. W e talked t o Mary Katherine.and Mary told us that Albert Jenr Glasco and his orchestra were playing at a large night club that night, and she told us not to miss it. She also said that Billy Aman and Betty Webster were singing duet at a large opera house and were becoming very popular. After breakfast I said farewell to Arden and started on my way to keep my appointment. I started down town and, looking up, I saw a large building and I learned that it was the “Lindley Studios’ . I went in and found James. James Roy told me that he had Patsy Garret and Marlene Roberson employed as models and that Bobby Gillwas his chief photographer. I said good-bye to James and again started on my way. This time I was brought to a halt by a large sign adorning a large stone building. The sign read, “THE McCLELLAND CLINIC' . I found that doctor David McClelland had recently established this clinic and that he had as his nurses Mary Beth Goodrich, Mary Emma O'Neil, Barbara Jordan, and Martha Slaughter. Also doctor W illard Dugan is one of the other doctors of the Clinic. On my way out I noticed a tall, well dressed young man. On closer inspection I found that it w a s Sambo Wiley. Sambo told me that he was just back from a cruise withHiram Watson. It seems that Hiram had purchased a yacht. Sambo also told me that James Popejoy and C. O. Patterson were recently in town but had returned to the west to their large cattle ranch. Again I said good-bye and hastened on my way. I still had plenty of time,soI stopped for a‘ Coke 'at the drug store. Sitting at the counter I quickly recognized Benson Pollock. Benson told me that Margaret Ray O’Hara and Ruth Neundorfer were dress designers for “Vogue and had just left. He also told me that Janey Vinzant was a stenographer for a large oil company in the city and that Betty Burleson, Jolene Kidd, Elizabeth Hancock, Johnnie Little and Jackie Joe Wilson were being starred in the new stage play about to appear in the city, diricted by Bill England.

However, I have been allowed to cone back ho: e again and serve y school in the only way I could—as a photographer—so perhaps the efforts of those who taught me a way of life have not been in vain. The map of the world has chan.-ed a great deal in the twenty years since Miss Stella Wilkinson taught e Geography. So etii.es the bank questions ny signature because ry cennanship is not v hat it was when Miss Janie taught me the Palmer Method of writing. I have trouble figuring ray income tax, so hiss Zelda's arithmetic must not have done uch good. iven while he taught me, Mr. Whitehurst realized the hopelessness of trying to have me retain Physics. It's been sixteen years since I graduated from Groesbeck High School---and the only thing I re ember that stayed with me was that from the Miss Janies, the Miss Stellas, and the Miss Zeldas cane an example of the courage, character, hon r, integrity, and service that I would need through all y life. Me don't realise until later—sometimes a very long time later---v hat a privilege it is to have rovrn up and gone to school in a s-all town where you are known and tr ated as an individual. r. McLellan and I feel ec eeia ly roud to lave iut pictures in your school annual. Me didn't have an annual when went to school. Nothing to look at in the years to follow and remember. Only memories.
