Poth High School - Log Yearbook (Poth, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1957 volume:

Presented by THE CLASS OF 1957 Dedication We wish to dedicate this annual to a person whom we all respect and admire. A person who always seems cheerful and has a bright smile and cheery greeting for you. A person who is always getting or finding something for you. A person who is on hand when something needs to be done. One who does his own job well plus many others. This person is none other than our jan- itor, Seferino (Chinaman) Trevino. Congratulations: To the faculty and student body on the many achievements of the 1956-57 school year. To the Seniors on their leadership and toil in making this fine annual possible. To the other ever-growing classes from the Jun- iors down to First Graders on their bright promise of the future. You have the privilege of attending the Poth Schools at a time when the future of our school pro- gram seems brightest. May the record you make be the finest and may it supply you with the things you need for a happy, successful, and fruitful life.
