Without the invaluable assistance ot Shoob's and their photo- graphic work, this annual Tower would have been denuded ot the charm it might carry. The professional skill ot the Stockton Photo Engraving Company is evidenced on every piece at engraving. l am particularly indebted to lvlrt Charles Warmer tor his personal interest, triendly advice, and valuable suggestions that have helped us over many ot our ditticult problems, and to Mr. Mulholland tor his initiative in making over any engravings that they might be point-perfect. Mr. l-l. J. Tolliver ot the Tolliver Printing Company in Lodi, had the ditticult task ot printing this edition ot the Tower, the tine quality ot workmanship supplemented by his helptul assistance contribute more than a little to the success ot our annual. The tinal, inevitable responsibility ot binding this volume be- longed to the Silvius and Schoenbachler Company in Sacramento. To the taculty and student body ot MUHS tor their encouraging interest, and to my statt tor their hard work and grand cooperation, l extend my sincere thanks, SHIRLEY JFXCKLICI-l, EDITOR ll2 Tower Boosters Adams Refrigerating Company Allen's Jewelry B Cr B Cafe Bank of Manteca Bergthold Mortuary City Cash Market Costa's Service Station CotreIl's Courtesy Market D fr D Tire Shop Domestic Laundry Frank's Barber Shop P.
