Floresville Opens School Year With Civic Spirit
Floresville students and citizens gathered for the 1933-34 opening at the high school auditorium. Principal remarks urged all to “We Do Our Part” as ex-students recalled past years and a strong PTA focus outlined annual aims. Separately, St John’s Lutheran plans a fund-raising feast with barbecue, music, and family activities next Sunday. Cotton checks will arrive soon, says BE Beck, urging soil prep and winter truck crops to follow, to maximize cash income before harvest.
