On the one hundredth anniversary of the annexation of Texas to the Unit- ed States, it is fitting that we tumour attention to the colorful history of the State. No other State in the Union is so rich in folklore and legend. Many and varied are the stories told of old San Antonio de Bejar and nearby territory. One of the most interesting legends cen ers around the Rose Window of Mission San Jose. The window, na- tionally famous for its beauty, served as a model for the carving on the west door of the mission. Since that door, in turn, served as a model for the design of our own front door at Lanier, we have chosen to include the legend of the Rose Window as a theme for the 1945 edition of Los Recuerdos.
