, ,xx-i, Q La Piiteiheiyw lll'l staff ol' N123 La Pitahaya, has worked earnestly to make this book surpass the reeord of the pre- vious annuals. The Pitahaya of 1927 won first plaee in Class Il at the state eontest, it made seeond in the All Ameriean rating with a seore of 941 points out of a possible 1,0003 it was seeond in its elass in Par-emakers. ll' this book does any more than that its sta ff will be satisfied. The features that were partieularly stressed this year are athleties and art work. In the Athletic seetion, instead ol' putting all the sports in one division, as before, there are now subdivisions for football, basket ball, and one subdivision for less important athleties, sueh as baseball, traek, and tennis. The division pages were planned by the artist in Fort NVorth, and employee of the Southwestern En- graving Company. The theme is taken from the Arabian Nights. Many many years ago, the Arabian Night tales were told to the Sultan to amuse him and make him forget his troubles. In La Pitahaya these tales and pietures of High Sehool life are told and shown in order that the members of the different elasses will remember the pleasant times they had while in high sehool. lt is said that the High sehool days are the happiest ones in a person's life. lf this is true, then one eertainly will not want to forget them, If this annual serves its dual purpose, that of showing a good standing in contests, and that of aiding old students to remember these days, then the members of the staff certainly do not grudge their work.
