La Pitahaya

Evan J Quiros, MHS Class of 1961 and a Tiger Legend, has hosted a web site of "Las Pitahayas", the school annual from Martin High School and made them accessible to everyone on Border Title Co's Web Page. He also is hosting many of the Old Laredo High annuals. It was closed when Martin High School opened and the Old Laredo last class graduated in 1937 holding its graduating exercise at the new Martin High School building which opened in March of that year. Old Laredo High annual's name was La Pitayaha and Martin High School continued using this name in its first full school year of existence in 1938.

Martin High School and OnceaTiger.Com is indebted to Evan J Quiros as well as many of our MHS Graduates should be. Thanks to both Evan J Quiros and Border Title Co.

Evan has expanded access on his web site to include annuals from Nixon High School and also from St Joseph Academy. There are some years that a School Annual was not available for him to be able to scan into digital form and make them available on the internet. If you happen to have or know where there is a volume of one of the missing please contact us so that we can make it available for all to be able to enjoy.

The 1997 La Pitahaya was a Special Edition which provides the History of La Pitahaya, Old Laredo High and has information on Raymond and Tirza Martin who the school was named after when it opened in March of 1937. It also reviews many of the years and compares "Then" to "Now" as how it was and how it was in 1997. For a better understanding of La Pitahaya, Old Laredo High and Martin High School's History we suggest that your review at least pages 1 - 9 and if you have the time review up to page 44 the 1997 Senior's starting pages. If you can of course see not only the 1997 "La Pitahaya" in its entirety but all the school annuals especially your year of graduation.
