Here is a cute photo from when they dedicated the "new" courtyard back in the Spring of 1982. I was in 1st grade (Mrs. Young) and each class had to get dressed up in early 20th century clothing - I remember it was an all day event with a ribbon cutting ceremony and original Kuser relatives were in attendence. Thought you would enjoy (see attached photo).

1941: KUSER CLASS OF 1941 PHOTO ALBUM

This is such a cool album! My brother Bud is in this class. These Kuser Kats went on to be in the class of 1945 at Hamilton High. It was my privilege to present "The Music We Grew Up With" at their annual reunion luncheon.
