1931: THE KUSER SCHOOL ORCHESTRA

I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE SERIES OF VINTAGE KUSER SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH WERE DESTINED FOR THE RECYCLE BIN IN MY COLLECTION. THIS DIGITIZED VIEW OF THE KUSER SCHOOL ORCHESTRA, 1931 IS JUST ONE OF THEM. THE DIGITAL GEM HAS BEEN FILED IN THE "KUSER SCHOOL" FOLDER IN THE HAMILTON LIBRARY'S LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION., NOTE THE KNICKERS ON THE BOYS! IF ANY VIEWER RECOGNIZES ANY OF THE SUBJECTS IN THE PHOTO, I SURE WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE THE INFORMATION IN THE LIBRARY FOLDER.

Emily Reynolds Leads the Kuser Khorus

Here is a photo, circa 1949-50 with Principal Emily Reynolds leading the Kuser Chorus in a Christmas chorale. When we old time Kuser School alumni see Miss Reynolds standing at the podium, it brings to mind the many times she stood before that very podium on the Kuser stage and led is in a old testament prayer.

...."You shall be like a tree planted by still waters..."

Kuser School "Glee Club"

What a charming appellation! "Glee Club!" When was the last time you heard that long forgotten name for a choral group? I was a card carrying member of the "Glee Club," through every year at Kuser School, 3rd grade through 8th. When I got to Hamilton High, it was mercifully changed to the "Choir." These young ladies are all in white blouses with a sprig of holly on their blouses. Some of the girls are wearing green skirts, and others are wearing red. Oh, yeah....we also sang......(a gasp of horror here, please!)..... religious Christmas songs! We even mentioned the Diety whose name was spelled the same as the season CHRISTmas!
