Foreword QCMY, MY! How Johnny has grown! or Surely this isn't Mary? are two comments that cause endless embar- rassment to che would-be sophisticated high school students. They wish to appear that they were ever thus . . . all knowing . . . extremely wise in the ways of men. But when some visitor returns to Stockton after many years and exclaims with sur- prise, Surely this isn't the high school? My, my! How it has grown, the same students swell with manly pride as they modestly admit that this is the high school. Stockton High School has increased its size considerably in the last few decades. From two rooms on the second floor of the Washington School, Stockton High School has grown until it now has a campus of approximately ten acres. The History of Stockton High Schoolv is well illustrated by the linoleum cuts made by the art students. Galen Potter made the following cuts of the high schoolg the building in 1885, 1902 and 1929. Georgia Thanos made the cut of the first grammar schoolg Sophia Thanos made the cut of the gymnasium, and William Fitch made the cut of the high school as it was in 1896.
