Page 7 text:

Nineteen members composed the Blackhawk staff of '55. which was sponsored by Mr. Stevens. The one big aim of the Blackhawk was, of course, to pub- lish a yearbook—the best yet. Working towards this goal, the members could be found selling ads, collecting material and pic- tures, and planning the book for publication. The members of the staff were appointed by class sponsors, English teachers, and the yearbook adviser. Students are se- lected for their interest shown in this type of work, their depend- ability, and their ability to do good work in their regular Eng- lish classes. The 1955 staff has endeavored to capture a few of the fleet- ing moments of their life in Stockton High School to preserve them for you. This. The NINETEEN FIFTY-FIVE BLACKHAWK. awaits your approval.
