Garrick Matthews, assistant principal at Portales High School, said the district has received many complaints centering on a yearbook photo of two apparently nude students posing behind a tree for the "Most Likely to Skinny Dip" student award. Advertisement Matthews said the yearbook staff got the idea for the category from the internet and only the students and one teacher saw the picture before the yearbooks were released last week. "They were trying to be cute, trying to be humorous to a certain extent and it didn't go over well with a certain fraction who saw the yearbook," Matthews told KRQE.com. "The intent behind it was never to paint the students in a negative light or paint the school in a negative light," Matthews said. The assistant principal said the school will exercise more oversight over future yearbooks. "I can't change it, but I can tell people we're gonna try that those sort of things don't happen in the future." Matthews said.
