THE PRICKLY PEAR 1940 ANNIVERSARY

Page 7 text:

FOREWORD Twenty-five years ago the first volume of the Prickly Pear was published. This year we celebrate its silver anniversary. Without the old there could be no new. Thanks to our Pioneers! We have tried to make of the volume a book of memories—a book of pictures of experiences which we have “caught as they hur- ried across the threshold of the present.” It is yours now as your future heritage. “Take it, my friends, this book of memories—not a moment’s monument, but a year’s. Take it and think of it as the return of a year already spent.” —THE EDITOR ANNIVERSARY
