1938: TRENTON HIGH GIRLS MAKING GOWNS


Trenton High School has a magnificent historic heritage. The photo grouping above shows just one of the many such articles and photos that are being digitally preserved in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection under database folder, "TRENTON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL." I have yet to meet anyone locally who doesn't share my view that this beautiful edifice should be restored and preserved as a viable high school and at the same time preserved as the historic local treasure that it is. On the "other side" are those who prefer a glass-encrusted ultra modern structure which will in no way improve the performance of the students.

Tom: I graduated from THS in 1955 and on one trip back to Trenton, I took some photos around the outside. I'm so glad I did. It was a beautiful building and I cannot imagine not taking care of it and treasuring it. Also, I love the new background on your website. It is so polished and colorful. Regards

    HI TOM...I WAS A SENIOR IN 1937 AND FOREVER REGRETED HAVING TO DROP OUT DURING THOSE DEPRESSION YEARS TO HELP OUT AT HOME. I ENDED UP AT THE POST OFFICE AND BEGAN AN ERA OF MANY OPPORTUNITES THAT PROBABLY RESULTED IN MY STILL BEING AROUND AT MY AGE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZED AT THE WAY THS TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY. IT STILL LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT DID IN 1937. REGARDS.
