DE:D1cA'I'1oN It is with great pleasure that we, the class of 1939, dedicate this second edition of the Reflector to Mr. Paul H, Renton-the friend of every graduating senior. just four years ago-Mr. Renton arrived at Trafford, and began teaching in Gur Alma Mater. We seniors were-as I recall, just a little skeptical of our teachers at that time and needed something to snap us out of it. Mr. Renton was that something, Long shall we admire Mr. Renton and the fine standards he established and which he upheld in all our friendly discussions of that first year. Along with his work as mathematics teacher and adviser to the freshman class, he started the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. These organizations have en- riched the lives of many boys and girls since the time of their happy beginnings. Mr. Renton, has the respect and admiration of the entire student body. I-lis reward, like that of thousands of others who give their time and energies so spiritedly and unselfishly, lies in the success and happiness of the pupils whom he has taught. So-as we shove off on life's journey, may we always remember that a large part of our happiness and success is making life a little richer, a little more livable, for the man who said- Resist not learning!

THE SCHOOL Early in the 1920 decade, it became apparent that Trafford had grown so rapidly in population that a high school was needed. Accordingly in l922, the construction of a building containing eight rooms and an auditorium was begun. This building, so designed that two wings could be added on the north and south ends? was large enough to suffice for several years, but in 1929 the north wing was added to take care of an increased enrollment followed by the south wing in 1931. This same year a stage was built into the auditorium. The original enrollment of thirty-five has been increased over a period of sixteen years to the pre- sent enrollment of over three hundred and sixty students. What a con- trast between the first graduating class of 1925 containing thirteen stu- dents and this year's class of eighty-seven!
