One building. One class.

That's how Trinity started in September 1953.

Fifty years later, our history book is nearing completion. Trinity Archivist Lynn Olympia, Dr. John Kleber '59, Bob Pfaadt '59 and Father George Kilcourse '65 have been compiling a full history that captures the Spirit of Trinity's first 50 years.

Since 1953, Trinity High School has been educating young men in the heart of St. Matthews. The history of our first 50 years is nearing completion and will be available in Spring 2004. Watch future issues of the Trinity Leader for an order form.

HELP PRESERVE THS’ PAST Alumni, parents and past-parents are asked to please donate your Trinity items and documents to the Trinity Archives. Archivist Lynn Olympia has been hard at work cataloging and preserving the collection. Items sought include photographs, report cards, papers, meeting minutes, programs, awards, apparel or any- thing having to do with Trinity. If you send photographs, please identify on a separate sheet of paper all those appearing in photos with an approximate date and description of the event. Mrs. Olympia specifically requests copies of the 1958 and 1960 Shamrock yearbooks.

An option to preserve our past is to be interviewed by Mrs. Lynn Olympia and have your conversation recorded for future generations. Several former faculty members have already recorded their Trinity memories. You may drop off your items to Trinity’s Office for School Advancement, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Please contact Lynn Olympia at (502) 736-2148 for more information or to arrange an interview. 1953 14 2003
