Swan Song 1'XVhcn Swans perceive approaching death they sing more merrily than before, because of the joy they have in going to the God they servef, The Pliaedo-Socrates. This 1960 Volume of La Pimlmyrz serves as my swan song. for I have sponsored it since 1938, which is before any of you were horn. Since it is my last book, I selected as the theme: lzcfzuty, hotli of the world around us and of memorable Words. Our cover features a kodacrome of a pitalmya plant in bloom, taken hy Nick Sanchez, and to him we say, i'Graeias, Mr. Sanehezf, Our division pages were the work of Victor Villarreal, whose artistic talent may flower and he may grow into a really outstanding artist. In selecting quotations for our division pages we should like to point out that hrave words of famous men-Bryant, Shelley, Pope, Shakes- peare-often stand us in good stead, serve a very practical purpose we face the crisis of life. Put your mind in tune with great thoughts, and you will he influenced hy great thoughts yourself, which may in the end perfect them- selves in worthy deeds. For the future may you enjoy this hook, recalling the happy days you spent in M.H.S. and may the La Pitalmya continue to prosper under the guidance of new and younger hands. Sincerely, Elizabeth Sorrell fr X we K 'N

I The coveted dedication of the 1960 c'La Pitahayav has been made to Miss Rosita Uribe, shorthand and typing teacher in Martin High School. Miss Uribe was chosen because of the hard Work she does in Interscholastic League training in shorthand and typing and her kind and sympathetic attitude toward her students. Miss Uribe belongs to a San Ignacio family. She attended school in Laredo and graduated from the Laredo High School. She then Went on to Our Lady of the Lake College, Where she received her B.S. degree in Business Adminis- tration. Upon completing her education at Our Lady of the Lake, she secured her first teaching position in 1944 in our Alma Mater and has continued her teaching here. She teaches advanced typing and stenography and is furthering her education by doing post-graduate work in Denver University. Besides having her interest in school Work and her students, she listens to her collection of classical records and plays the piano at her leisure. No babble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacherf' Sir William Osler age? if ld . , . ti .l- J Y' -V ga Q ,-1 nur-: ' .--gr ' Q4 S x pq Tjglrtkxkm W' Aff x ' S ,f .' ,km 4 .
