THIS WAS WHERE WE WOULD SEE BARRUM AND BAILLY'S CIRCUS AND CATCH CANDY THAT WAS DROPPED FROM PLANES. AS A KID I DID'NT FEEL WE NEEDED A NEW SCHOOL, THE ONE AT HAMILTON AND CHESTNUT SEEMED FINE. AS I GREW OLDER I REALIZED IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING THAT TRENTON COULD HAVE DONE.

I graduated in 1955 and am still proud and grateful for the education I received there. It had everything any student could want. Sports Night, of course, was the big event but there were other wonderful offerings to round out an education. The building is a true historic gem.Sally Logan Gilmannoreply@blogger.com
