Sacred origin of our youthful start, Our thoughts of thee are full of glory and praise For we look on thee with loyal grave. With calm resolve we face our time to part We do not think it grand nor think it smart That we must leave at last this dear old place. The place that was at times our tool For mischief. We can not measure The fun we’ve had, the pleasure. Smiles, tears, cold, hot, warm or cool. All our lives this place we’ll treasure Deep in our memories, dear old Poth School. 4. —THE SENIORS.

Among the many appearances of the band are the non-competativa Music Festival at Victoria, the Battle of Flowers Music Festival and Parade in San Antonio, and the Texas Lutheran College Festival at Seguin. 20.

A. completed the second year with improvements over the first year. The enrollment was larger, more things were accomplished and greater things are expected next year with an increased enrollment and a larger scope of activities and work. The Club attended contests and shows and made a reputable showing at the local show and also at the South-West Texas Boys’ Fat Stock Show in San Antonio.

The Scouts, under the direction of Scoutmaster O. J. Bomba, have done outstanding work since their organization. Troop 105 was organized four years ago in November and has a membership of 21. The Scoutmaster is assisted by Assistant Scoutmasters Rogers McCarty and Adolph Manak. Mr. Bielefeld is chairman of the troop committee. W. P. Schwertlich, who had been Scoutmaster for the past four years, and until November, 1040, when he was relieved at his own request by O. J. Bomba, has shown outstanding work for Troop 105. The Scouts paid their last tribute to Leon Reinhard March 11, 1941, when he met death in an automobile accident, on Sunday evening, March 9. Leon was Assistant Scoutmaster for outdoor work of Troop 105 for the past four years and was respected greatly by all the Scouts. 25. Parent-Teacher Association MRS. GEORGE KUNKEL MRS. CLAUDIA M.

The above group is only a small part of the total membership oi the Parent- Teacher Association of Poth. There are over fifty members of this organization and all are most anxious to promote the well being of our s.hool. For that reason every undertaking of this group receives the full co-operation of all members. During the past year, under the leadership of their president, Mrs. George Kunkel, many worthwhile things have been accomplished. In addition to the regular care and up- keep of the campus, the annual volley ball tournament refreshments, and sponsor- ship of the Junior-Senior Banquet, this organization entertained the County Teach- ers’ Association in February, contributed further to the purchase of band instruments, bought thirty-five dollars worth of dictionaries for both the grammar and high schools, and served a lunch for forty-four chorus singers from the Southwest Texas State Teachers’ College of San Marcos. We are proud of the friendly spirit ever manifested by this organization and trust that they will never regret the efforts spent in the betterment of our school. At the regular April meeting, the entire group ot officials was re-elected for the next year, which is a vote of confidence for their leadership for the school year of 1940-41. 20. 1 MISjS SPRUCE Director Glee Glub 1 V Maxine Orts _ .

The Pirate football team of 1940 was the defending champion of District 18, Six-Man Con- ference, having won the title in two successful years of play. Through a forfeit of games played with Sutherland Springs, the Pirates were again declared the District Champions for the third con- secutive year. In the first game played with the Springs team the Pirates lost their first conference game in the history of football in Poth. The Pirates lost this game 44 to 15 and came back a month later to tie the same team 12 to 12. The season ended with 6 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie. With the loss of only two men through graduation, the Pirates should have a stronger and more ex- perienced team when the season gets under way again next September.

The team was, however, the less experienced of any Pirate team for several years, therefore, they did not do justice to the new Gym furnished by the Hermann Sons Lodge of Poth. Fortunately, the season revealed some very promising frechmen and sophomores and the team of the next few years will be expected to be the best the school has ever had. This year’s team defeated La Vernia to finish third in the County .Meet. The season’s record was 10 losses and 3 wins. TRACK The Pirate track team finished third in the County Meet. The team was composed of Werner Artus, Walter Artus, Conrad Coldewey, Chris Dworaczyk, Emil Wa.lawczyk. Werner Artus was the outstanding star of the team, ami the county for that matter, taking three ‘ firsts, one second and one third for a total of 20 points of the 32 made by the team. The Junior High track team did not place in the County Meet. The team was composed of Norman Kosarek, “Dickie” Havel, Elwood Hill and Roy Raahc. Kosarek made 8 V2 of the 11 points made. VOLLEY BALL The Pirates, who for a long time were the best in volley ball, finished seeand to Kosciusko this year. It took the Kosciusko team three full rounds to out-best the Poth boys who were not in the best form for volley ball so soon after the football season. The team was composed of Conrad Coldewey, Emil Dzuik, Walter Artus, Chris Dworaczyk, “Buddy” Haese and Elmond Zunker. TENNIS Poth was represented in senior singles by Werner Artus, who lost in his first match. In senior doubles, Alfred Eckel, Jr. and Lawrence Reinhard lost their first match. The junior high boys faired a little better. Norman Kosarek and Dickie Havel finished second. Winston Woellert was the junior high singles representative and lost in his first match. 31.

VOLLEY BALL The senior girls’ team composed of Captain Ulbricht, Ehlers, L. Jiral, Manak, M. Orts, Roininger, and M. Reinhard. were defending a county championship of six consecutive years, but were nosed out in the finals by Kosciusko in the most ex- citing game in many a year. The junior high team composed of Hacay, Artus, Verna Mae Orts. Zunker, Anna Bell Jiral. Gladys Grier, Catherine Reinhard ami Lucille Reinhard. won first place by defeating Sutherland Springs, Stockdale and Floresville in that order. 32. Left to right: Cecilia Manak, Maxine Orts, Bernice Reininger, Labella Ehlers, Marilyn Reinhard, and Mary Rose E.kel. Always taking their share of the first places in the county, the girls’ tennis en- tries made a clean sweep this year taking all four first places in the high school girls’ divisions. This remarkable feat was performed by Maxine Orts, junior high singles; Marilyn Reinhard and Mary Rose Eckel, junior high doubles; Bernice Reinin- ger, senior singles, and Cecilia Manak and Isabella Ehlers, senior doubles. BASKETBALL This year, for the first time, girls’ basketball took its place in Poth athletics. Because of the long volley ball season, very little time was devoted to this sport but the girls did learn the rules and showed enough interest to insure its continua- tion. Maxine Orts was elected captain, and a few games were played. The girls who came out for this sport were: Katherine Artus, Ella Lee Clark, Louise Clark, Mary Rose Eckel, Isabella Ehlers. Gladys Grier, Maxine Orts, Verna Mae Orts, Catherine Reinhard, Lucille Reinhard, Marilyn Reinhard, Bernice Reininger, Voncile Schwert- lich, and Alice Ulbricht. 33.

In many respects the ward boys this year were as capable as the boys of previous years but not as lucky. In all the sports, volley ball, baseball and tennis, the boys were always giving a good account of themselves but the opposition was just a bit better and they failed to place. There were some outstanding athletes in this group in spite of the team showing and their presence in high school next year will make the coach of high school athletics feel much better. 34.

The Ward Girls’ baseball team, with Lottie .Mae Grier as captain, won several games during the year but was defeated in the first round at the County Meet. As in baseball, the volley ball team could win games up to the County Meet but failed to place in that event. In tennis, Mildred Kunkel represented the ,school in singles and finished third in the county. Rose Marie Kosarek and Dorothy Schmidt were the representatives in the doubles but failed to place. 35. Representative Students SENIORS PAUL ARTUS JUNIORS BERNICE REININGER SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN RICHARD (Dickie) HAVEL NORMAN KOSAREK SALT SHAKER The digs which we, the Seniors, have the right to make this year are very brief but not because you, the undergraduate, do not deserve raking over the coals. There are plenty of mean things we could say about your shortcomings but due to more space ured elsewhere in this annual, and a feeling of sympathy for the underdog, we will content our- selves with the belief that HUMOR is like GARLIC—that is: A little goes a long, long way! THE SENIORS. P. S.- Or did you know that? 37. ODDS 'N ENDS FROM HERE AND THERE A tornado is when it gets real dark and the earth starts to crack. A bill of lading is a document drawn up for a friendship. The six simple machines are the washing machine, gas engine, corn sheller, lemon squeezer, egg beater, and bicycle. Comical is a silly sort of funny thing. Going to Bookkeeping without an eraser is like going swimming on a desert. Going to Physics without a book is like eating bread without butter. Paul must not like butter. CONVERSATION OVERHEARD Mr. Tampke: “Say you ought to see my pig pen. ! had a wide board around it and now it’s full of water.” Albert: “Why don’t you turn your pig:- out?” Mr. Tampke: “They would root up all the flower beds.” Albert: “I turned mine out.” Genevieve: Ours are still in the pen.” Mr. Tampke: “Mine are too, but they have on waterwings.” NEWSPAPER CLIPPING Buddy Haese, a member of the Senior Class, has had the misfortune of being on the sick list with the ill and will be able to return to mumps; however, he is not seriously school soon. I.illie Helen said she didn’t remember when she was so born she was so little. It seems that Yehudi must do a lot of work around school when exams come. The students haven’t much to study but they get good grades. IT CAN’T BE HELPED She: “Did you know that you had a pug nose?” He: Yeah, but I can’t help it.” She: Do pug noses run in your family?” He: Only in cold weather.” FAMILIAR SAYINGS Lillie Helen: “I hope I pet to go to Three Oaks Friday.” Genevieve: “I hope I make a good grade in Physics.” Miss Spruce: “Oh! Phiffe.” Cecilia: “Bookkeeping is so boring.” Lorine: “I think of everything, don’t I?” Alice: “I hope I go to --------this summer.” Miss Gilley: “Get rid of that gum before you start your test.” Mr. Tampke: “This Senior Class has no sense of thought for Physics.” Ella Mae: “Puppyfoot!” Minnie: “I got that Geometry I memorized.” Maxine: (to Mary Rose) “Can’t you smell what I want?” Bernice: “Maxine, stop it!” Paul Artus: “Let me do that, Mr. Tampke.” Junior: “My part in this play is too much for me.” The Junior Class: “Shh! Here comes a Senior.” Henrietta: “History is a pain in the neck.” Mary Rose Haeay: “I like Geometry.” Emma Labus: “Dorothy, is my book due?” Mary Rose Eckel: “Did you know he had the mumps?” Mr. Carlisle: “Dorothy, what are you doing, chanting?” Buddy Haese: “I’ll check out books, but I won’t check them in.” Albert Grier: “Boy, do I like English this year!” Elmond Zunker: The girls at Karnes City are prettier than Poth girls.” Maiil. n: “Come on. girls, let’s play baseball.” Billy Leo: “Wonder why I like Sutherland Springs?” Walter: “May I stay in the office, Mr. Lane?” Noiman: “I’m voting for Bernice.” Voncile: “Why did he quit school?” Geoige: “Anybody want a ride to town?” Mac: “Falls City surely has some pretty girls.” Conrad: “I won’t miss the next dance.” Winkie: “Let’s play tennis.” Leah Mae Zunker: “Do I like Hobson!” Emil Dzuik: “History is my easiest subject.” Wilbert Meyer: “I like Voncile.” Mr. Lane: “Any questions?” Delia: Let me see what you’re doing.” Rita: “I went riding Sunday.” Molly: “You crazy_______ ! !” Monnie: “What did Maxine make in Geometry?” Elroy: “I’m really proud of my sweater.” Dickie: “My girl’s initials are J. E.” Cl'.ris: “Poth sure is a good school.” Dorothy: “I can’t seem to make up my mind about the Frogs or Badgers.” Elsie: “Lu, let’s go to San Antonio on the bus.” Lucy Mae: “She went and I had to stay home.” Clemens: “Come on, watch out!” Buddy Lowak: “Boy, is she pretty!” 39. DID YOU KNOW THAT— Elsie wrote notes to Paul in bookkeeping class? There was a disagreeable odor around shoo! when the Freshmen were initiated and their shoes were taken off? Glee Club girls did argue about practice and dresses they should wear? Molly and the boys just don’t get along? Marilyn tries to imitate Scarlett O’Hara? (Fiddle-dee-dee). Junior and Albert sell ads? Maxine collects jokes? Chris and Paul C. are saving money to go to college? Mr. Carlisle feels big when Mr. Lane goes away? I.illie Helen gets excited when she sees someone in uniform? Cecilia and Dorothy go to Karnes City? (Why?) Lorine tries to be one of the “cutest” girls in school? Paul tries to flirt with all the girls? Which Paul? — Both of them! Oscar does so many things at once? Rita. Anna Bell, and Leah Mae go around looking like Siamese triplets? Mary Rose Ha:ay goes riding on Sundays? Mr. Tampke talks over the heads of the Physics class? Mary Rose Eckel sure can sing? Ella Mae still thinks of ONE soldier? Isabel Ehlers can write poems? Alice can act if she wants to? Conrad didn’t get first for running a mile? Lucy Mae has no dates ’till school is out? Monny takes his girl out? Emil Dzuik is the year’s ladies’ man? Billie Leo is learning to type? Buddy Haese had mumps first? Voncile started dancing? The Reinhard twins still can’t be distinguished? Verna Mae is always s miling? Lola Mae is always thinking of McCoy? Norman is good looking? Wilbert likes to ride in his new car? Bonnie will be an artist some day? Chester really studies hard? The juniors are silent when seniors come around before the banquet? Mac is heard all over the school? Emma seldom leaves the study hall once she gets there? Wonder why? Winston thinks he’s cute? Walter really is a nice boy? Werner is beginning to notice the girls? George gave some girls a lift when it was raining? Bernice is the most representative junior? Louise admits she is a little stubborn? Mildred Flieller loves to walk to school (?) Henrietta is very active, we think? Mr. Lane would make a splendid actor? Miss Gilley knows how to drive in mud? Evelyn tries to be a lady? Dickie is a lot of fun? Katherine Artus will be a star some day? What kind? Index of Advertisers Firm Name— Pajfe. BOMBA’S PRESCRIPTION PHARMACY _ . 61 Y. I.
