My grandmother, Bessie Agnes Rhodes Wilkinson, 1904-1998, graduated (1923) from
Silsbee High, Hardin Co., Texas. I found these photos in her
high school scrapbook. Perhaps someone will find family or friends here.
Be sure to check out my grandmother's
School Friendship Book. Unless otherwise stated, all names are in the traditional format of reading Left to Right.
