2009: KUSER SCHOOL FROM THE AIR


Here's an interesting view of Kuser School as it would be seen by a low flying helicopter. Note the square shape of the Kuser court yard. Thanks to "Bing."

1915: OUAM Give Bible to Kuser School

If you haven't yet done so, by all means take a few minutes to see the display of Kuser School memorabilia which is currently on display in the Hamilton Township Public Library. I took the above photo of just one item in the fantastically interesting display. From my "KUSER SCHOOL" folder, I inserted the article describing the event. Kuser School, founded in 1909, is celebrating its centennial this year of 2009. By the way, "OUAM" is the Order of United American Mechanics.

1947: "PUPPY LOVE" AT KUSER GRAMMAR SCHOOL

This is one of my childhood girlfriends whom I met long before meeting my dear wife of 56 years, Judy Britton. most of us guys had a young lady during our years in grammar school who gave us that very interesting emotional malady known as "Puppy Love." Millie Long was one of those grammar school classmates who captured my 13 year old heart. Few indeed are those of us who will ever forget the object of our affection in those grammar school years. The late Mildred Long was one of those lovely young girls who brightened my life when I first met her in 8th grade at Kuser School. I recently went to that big old Sycamore tree in front of Kuser School and looked in vain for the heart that I carved on that tree that I thought would last forever: “Tommy G. + Millie L," but it was nowhere to be seen.

2009: A REDUNDANT REMINDER

(I will be posting this graphic on this, and my Kuser and Hamilton High websites periodically to remind any alumni who are interested in attending this historic event.)

I have no idea how many Kuser alumni visit this site. However, I would be remiss if I didn't remind those Kuser Kats who are visitors to mark their respective calendars for Saturday, September 26, 2009 from 1 to 5 P.M. for a visit back to the best grammar school in the world! I hope to see you there!

1915: THE COLONIAL CIVICS CLUB

Without knowing the actual boundaries, I believe it is safe to assume that the Colonial Civics Club was instituted by citizens who resided in the Colonial Gardens area of Hamilton. My educated guess would be that the area was from Hamilton Avenue, along New Street, Liberty Street, Camp Avenue Beal, Ellwood, Edmund streets and Miller Avenue.
