Every good thing has a beginning. This is the beginning of one of Trenton's finest schools. I have a very soft spot in my heart for the educators and the schools of my generation. In all my years at grammar school and high school, the only time a policeman came was to give us safety tips in the auditorium. We had school fights during school hours out on the playground, but by the time Emily Reynolds was through with the trouble makers, they wished the police were called instead of being subject to Emily's Prussian discipline.

- HI TOM. SPEAKING OF SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION, I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE BUILDING OF JUNIOR 2. MY FATHER WORKED ALL THROUGH THE PROJECT IN THE 1930'S FOR NOTHING BUT A FOOD ORDER. IT WAS PART OF A LARGE FEDERAL GRANT DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND GAVE THE KIDS OF VILLA PARK AND CHAMBERSBURG A MUCH SHORTER WALK THAN GOING TO JUNIOR 4. I CAN RECALL MY BROTHER "CHUCK" GOING THERE AND THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT ERA OF SPORTS FOR HIM. WE OLD TIMERS IN THE BURG AND ELSEWHERE SPEAK FONDLY OF JUNIOR 4 BUT I'M SURE MANY YOUNGER PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME ABOUT JUNIOR 2. BEST REGARDS.
