This one has me completely baffled. Was it an error on the part of the Trenton Times? Was this really the class of 1959 at Hamilton High? Did the high school host a graduating class whose school was not available? 'tis a mystery. Perphaps a 1959 visitor can explain this article.

1959: HAMILTON HIGH EIGHTH GRADE ???
This one has me completely baffled. Was it an error on the part of the Trenton Times? Was this really the class of 1959 at Hamilton High? Did the high school host a graduating class whose school was not available? 'tis a mystery. Perphaps a 1959 visitor can explain this article.
This is correct. There were no middle schools yet. After elementary school(such as Maple Shade), we went to Hamilton High for eighth grade.
ReplyDeleteWe 'graduated' from eighth grade there and then continued there until we finished high school.(Yes, two graduations from the same school!)
The junior highs were not finished yet.(Grice and Fisher). I believe the HHSW senior class of 1965 was the first class to attend Grice Junior High.
Oops! My 'younger' sister corrected me. It was Grice and REYNOLDS(near Steinert,AKA HHSE) Schools which were being built then of similar design...not Fisher(which was in Ewing).
