Poth High School - Log Yearbook (Poth, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1956 volume:

Presented by the Class of 1956 We, the Senior Class of 1956, in order to express our appreciation for the help and guidance given to us during our lives, do dedicate this annual to our parents. This gesture is small compared to the time, money, care, and love you have devoted to us during our past years. May God bless and keep you for these sacrifices. Senior Class of 1956 Congratulations to our largest Senior Class for producing an outstanding school annual. May you treasure it as we, of the faculty and student body, will treasure the memory of the days you spent with us. Your record as a class and as individuals will always be regarded as something to be proud of. We expect great things of you. Do not disappoint us and never forget--Poth High School.
