PORTALES, N.M. — A New Mexico high school yearbook is raising eyebrows after it published a racy photo of students under a “Most Likely to Skinny Dip” category.

KRQE-TV reports Portales High School students picked up their 2014 issues last week and found the risque image among the others in traditional categories.

In the photo, two students chosen for the award appear to be naked, posing behind a tree.

Portales High School Assistant Principal Garrick Matthews said students were trying to be humorous but it didn’t go over well with some who saw the yearbook. Matthews said the district has received numerous complaints.

The district said from now on, another set of eyes will be viewing the yearbook before it’s published
