JEAN LINDSEY brought this Yesteryear picture into the Sentinel to share. The photo is of the 1935 Stockton High School Band lined up on the football field at that time, which is now the front lawn of the high school building. (The high school in 1935 was where the Stockton Junior High building is located. The new and present-day high school was built in 1955.) The picture is taken as if you were standing by the front doors of the high school looking to the east. Across the street from the goal post on the right hand side of the picture is where the building with the Tiger painted on it is now located. That area was also the home to one of the two lumberyards in Stockton during the late 1960/70s. And to make the picture even more interesting, the young man five people in from the left, holding the trombone, is none other than Lorenzo Fuller.
