1947: KUSER ANNEX "CRIER"

FOLLOWING ARE A FEW PAGES FROM KUSER ANNEX 1947 NEWSPAPER, "CRIER." NOT JUST BECAUSE THIS WAS MY CLASS, BUT MORE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ENTRIES ARE SO VERY INTERESTING THESE 60 YEARS LATER. THANKS TO BILL "BEB" PETERS AND LORRAINE FEEHAN MAY WHO HAVE BEEN VERY KIND CONTRIBUTORS TO MY KUSER AND HAMILTON COLLECTION.

1947 Kuser Annex Christmas Entertainment

What memories this program brings! It has been severely compressed in order to allow for complete legibility. This program was presented back before they expelled God from the public schools. You will notice that my name doesn't appear in the program. The reason? Miss Jean Larzalere didn't like me. (The feeling was mutual.)

1947 Kuser Annex "CRIER"

Even as Hamilton High School had their "CRITERION" as the official school newspaper, so too did we at Kuser Annex have our class newspaper. This is the cover on the Christmas 1947 edition. The paper was printed via mimeograph. I have digitized all the issues and they are safely preserved for posterity.

1947: Kuser Annex "CRIER"

Imagine if you will, a sixty year old mimeographed newsletter which has been ravaged by age. Take one of those antiques, scan it to the computer, and with the magic of computer technology, all the tears, stains, discoloration, and fading print can be brought back to life, even better than the originals, and printed on much higher quality paper. Here is a page featuring one of my favorite "Kuser Kids,"Charlotte Wilson (Colye) with whom I went from Reception Grade to 12th grade at Hamiton High. The reprinted graphic is from the Christmas, 1947 edition of the Kuser Annex monthly newspaper, the "CRIER." We read once again about the life we lived back there a Freshmen at Kuser Annex, a group of Hamilton Class of 1951 students who attended ninth grade on the second floor of our much loved Kuser School. Here again, generations of the future will be able to access these files at the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection and see how grandma and grandpa or great grandma and great grandpa spent their educational years in the middle of the 20th century!
