The above graphics are just a few of the growing number of community events of yesteryear that are being gradually digitized and saved in the Hamilton Library Local History database. Many of these clips provide very interesting reading.- Ron Bound said...

RON:
ALL HAMILTON TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS REFERRED TO "KINDERGARTEN" AS RECEPTION GRADE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CHANGE WAS MADE, BUT I WAS IN RECEPTION GRADE IN 1939.

No way. Should I call you Pops? I was born in 1939? LOL
Some priest,veteran of Iwo Jima, said, Pappy, when I told him I was 6, the day my Dad made the landing on Iwo (18 Feb back in the states). The priest said they were mostly 18-19 yr old kids, and "If your Dad had a 6 yr old at home, I know we called him Pappy". - Monday, September 10, 2012
- 79 IN TWO WEEKS, RON. TIME HAS REALLY FLOWN AND IS FLYING FASTER EVERY WEEK. CALL ME POPS, PAPPY, GRAMPS, ETC. YOU'RE THE SAME AGE AS MY BROTHER DON WHO GRADUATED HHS IN 1957. HE'S AN OLD MAN TOO.

It was called Reception Grade as late as 1947 when I was in the grade at Yardville Heights School. It changed probably in the early 1950's.
