IZDIQE IDD . . . be a very dismal Comedy is the laughter of the mind. Without it, this world of ours would place indeed. With it, we can drown our deepest sorrows if only for a little while Perhaps you have already noticed the masque of comedy on the cover of this year's Refiector and wonder what it had to do with the book itself. In the earlier days actors wore this masque so that the audience might know the presentation was to be a humorous one. We have incorporated this same idea into our annual this year. By using the masque of comedy on the cover of your book, we are revealing to you that the theme behind our publication is comedy and laughter. We bring this new theme to you through the aid of our dear beloved friend and classmate, Guppy . In case you are inquisitive, Guppy is a typical Trafford High School Senior in that he spends at least two nights a week in Time Room, knows everyone else's business, seldom does his own nightwork, and thinks he is just about it , But at heart is a good chap and will be only too glad to show you about the school and introduce you to our students, faculty, and various activities. The only condition he asks for, however, is that he be excused from classes while doing lt. So why not join him? If you find yourself able to escape from the coniiict and turmoil of our present world while glancing through our book, pausing here and there to reflect and visualize our various school activities in a more or less humorous vein, then we will feel certain that we have attained our purpose.

Our Educational Planners These men deserve credit BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated: Mr. R. T. Gillis, President, Dr. C. L. Mitchell, Secretaryg Mr. H. G. Gethin, Vice President. Standing: Mr. E. L. Hill- strom, Mr. J. M. Brown. School Board Guppy points with pride to the Board of Education of the Trafford Public Schools. Although it is impossible for him to take you to one of their meetings, he can tell you that when they do meet, it is for the purpose of discussing conditions and ways of betterment in our schools. No one realizes more than Guppy himself that the decisions handed down by this Board are the wisest possible for the progress and welfare of our Alma Mater. Guppy will also inform you that the Board does not limit itself to school matters alone, but is responsible for numerous improvements in our community as well. He points with pride to his own resplendent brown and white band uniform. The Board is responsible for outiitting the entire High School Band as well as the alluring majorettes who lead it. This serves as an excellent example of the good works done by this body of men. When Guppy expresses his gratitude to our Board of Education members for all their services, he is merely carrying out the wishes of all the students. We keel certain that these gentlemen will continue to serve, not only the school, but also the community, to the best of their ability. The Reflector
