1930: Kuser School Red Cross Committee

This photo is quite misleading. Based on the brickwork in the background, it would appear that these Kuser students were posing along the wall of another school. The "two tone" brickwork certainlydoes not appear to be a Kuser wall. Perhaps their near by neighbor, Greenwood School?

1950: THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE 1st OR 2nd GRADE

This photo is from my collection of old Kuser School class photos. The young boy on the extreme left, second row seems so familiar, but I can't seem to identify him. Any assistance from members of the class illustrated will be appreciated.

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.

1980: KUSER KINDERGARTEN

Here's a re-touched photo from Kuser Kat Erin Brown(Szejner) from the Kindergarten class at Kuser 1980-1981. Many thanks for adding to our grammar school history files, Erin!

1951: KUSER CLASS OF '51

DAVE SNEATH, LEFT BACK ROW IN POSITION NUMBER ONE, EDDIE PETERSON, 6TH FROM THE LEFT IN THE BACK ROW, ALSO AN ACQUAINTENCE FROM OUR YOUNGER DAYS IS IN THIS CLASS, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF KUSER KATS WITH WHOM I AM QUITE FAMILIAR.

1937: Kuser Graduates

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I GIVE YOU THE CLASS PHOTO FROM THE CLASS OF 1937, KUSER SCHOOL. AS I HAVE STATED MANY TIMES, KUSER IS A "NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL," AND I RECOGNIZE MANY OF THOSE IN THE PHOTO AS BEING MY NEIGHBORS BACK IN MY YOUTH.

1944: Kuser School 4th Grade

Hey, that's my little brother Donny down there in the 3rd row, far left! And there's his buddy Donny Bargholz on the opposite side, next to that poor young lady whose photo is torn off! Does anyone from that class (HHS '57) have a complete copy of this photo? If so, would you scan it and send it to me so I can post it?

1951: Kuser Class of 1951 Photo

Long

Long live the neighborhood school! I see Alex Bencivengo, Dave Sneath, Billy Mozer, Eddie Peterson, , and as I looked real close I think I also recognize Bobby Goodwin in the second row, far left.

1955: Kuser School Safety Patrol 1954-1955

This is 1/3 of the entire class photo. In order to maintain a very legible scan it has been segmented into 3 parts. The original class photo would be much to large to fit in this window, and the details in the photo nearly impossible to see.

THANKS TO JIM GELTCH FOR CORRECTING THE YEAR OF THIS PHOTO. JIM IS A KUSER CLASS OF 1956 ALUMNUS, AND HE POINTED OUT THAT THE PHOTO IS THE SAFETY PATROL FOR THE 1954-1955 SCHOOL YEAR.

1953: "Reception Grade" Class Photo from Marsha Church King

Thank you Marsha! This and the following 3 posts are from Marsha and her fellow classmates from Miss Mary Kelly's "Reception Grade." They are much appreciated and a very nice addition to the historic heritage of Kuser School. Marsha's Mom provided the identification.

1953: Pages from the Kuser School Yearbook

Thanks to Ms. Marsha Church King, Kuser 4th grade class, whose Mother saved these photos for posterity. If there were more Moms like Marsha's, we would have a much more comprehensive collection of memorabilia. Sorry to say I have not identification, but there may be in the future. Come back another time!

Please note that this graphic was scanned at 300 dots per inch for enhanced clarity. Use your computer mouse to navigate the page up and down and side to side.

THE CLASS OF '32

CHANCES ARE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VIEWERS OF THIS SITE WHO HAVE RELATIVES OR FRIENDS WHO ARE IN THESE MANY OLD KUSER SCHOOL PHOTOS. IF YOU DO RECOGNIZE ANYONE, PLEASE FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO ME FOR INCLUSION IN THE HAMILTON LIBRARY'S "KUSER SCHOOL" FOLDER. (thomglo@verizon.net)

1944: Class Photo

These kids preceded me by three years at Kuser. As can be seen in the photo, classes were fairly large during that era. Of course, I recognize many of the members, including Dick Soffel, Bob Reed, Rudy Goehrig, Gladys Dilts, Dorothy Glover (Yup, my big sister), and....well, you get the idea.... BASED ON THE SMALL SIZE OF THE PHOTO, I WILL RE-SCAN IT IN TWO SEGMENTS. STAY TUNED.

Kuser Class of 1935 Scan 2 Left

Here's the first of two scans of this extra large graphic showing the graduates. Once again, being a neighborhood school, I know many of the names and faces in the scan, as do many Kuser alumni. In fact, the pretty blonde lady who is in the tenth position from the left in the front row is my cousin, the late Ruth Williamson Gore.

Kuser Class of 1935 Scan 1 Right

This is one of those extra long graphics which require two scans in order to acheive at least a modicum of legibility. The young lady in the second row, far left, is a lifelong neighbor Henrietta "Sissy" Soffel Hawley.

Kuser School Class of 43

Here's a pristine photo of some of the girls from the Kuser class of 43. Katherine "Kay" Kovacs, back row, far right, lived right up the street in my Hartley Avenue neighborhood.
