       RECOGNIZING THE TRAFFORD HIGH SCHOOL ``ALL CLASS REUNION''

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON KLINK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 1998

  Mr. KLINK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Trafford High 
School alumni participating in the upcoming ``All Class Reunion.'' The 
event will take place during the weekend of July 9-12 and is sure to 
rekindle friendships and reunite former classmates from across the tri-
state area.
  Trafford School District began in 1905 with the erection of a four 
room school building. By 1928 the district had expanded in size three-
fold. In 1956, Trafford School District merged with Penn Township and 
Penn Borough to create the Penn-Trafford School District.
  Trafford High School Alumni believe that this reunion is the first of 
its kind in Westmoreland County. Classmates from 1924 through 1970 will 
gather to share their high school memories. A crowd of more than 700 
people is expected with more than five hundred being alumni of Trafford 
High.
  I applaud the committee chairpersons, George Valmassoni, Don Smith, 
Ed Drost, Bruce Robinson, Vic Capets, Marge Bucar, Bob Kozubal, Hank 
Pascoe, Ed Erwin, Betty Buchin and Bernic Mikach for two years they 
have worked to make this event a reality. Without their commitment this 
event would not have been possible.
  So my fellow colleagues, it is with great pleasure that I ask you to 
join me in recognizing participants in the Trafford High School All 
Class Reunion. This promises to be a terrific opportunity for old 
friends and acquaintances to make up for lost time.
