Groesbeck High School - Taog Yearbook (Groesbeck, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1959 volume:

34 g, JV d. Ida Jean Vogel I, editor, have spent many hours to help put this book together, enjoying everyone of them. Now on behalf of the Annual Staff, I am proud to present to you our 1959 Taog. This book has caught glimpses here and there, so that in years to come the activities of this school year at Groesbeck High will not be dimmed and will not fade from memory. In later years, while turning these pages, if you should recall the many smiles, sorrows, and dreams of '59, we shall be content, knowing that we have done the thing we were called upon to do. We hope that you will enjoy looking through this book as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. EDITOR Annual Staff Mrs, Leach, Sponsor.
