That statuesque old structure was falling into dis-repair a few years ago but has since been brought back to its original beauty. My Uncle Charles ("Charlie") Gaudette was the Superintendent from the earliest years. It was here that I, and many of my contemporaries marched into that grand old structure to the stirring graduation classic, "Pomp and Circumstance" by Sir Edward Elgar.

Trenton High Class of 1955 had a large number of graduates and there was more than enough room in the beautiful building for the students and all their friends and families. I'm glad they have taken good care of it. It is truly a work of art to be appreciated and cared for. Regards.

- I remember the lovely Villa Victoria concerts we sang in and your cousin Nancy, who was a very good friend. The world was so simple then and the "War Memorial" was like being in Radio City to us.
