Message from Our Principal I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the TROJAN staff for a very fine publication. This fine record of school activities and achievements indicates that the student body has a sense of pride and interest in their school. The TROJAN rightly deserves much credit for the contribution it makes to the interest in student activities.
