1935: HAMILTON'S SUMMER SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS

In checking the Kuser School participants in the playground program, I see my late sister in law, Kathleen Britton, and my cousin, the late June Williamson. Save those Neighborhood schools!

1946: BEFORE OUR PARKS THERE WERE SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS

I REMEMBER THOSE MOVIES THEY USED TO PROJECT ON THE SIDE OF KUSER SCHOOL BACK IN THE 40'S. WITH THE PROLIFERATION OF MANY OPEN SPACE PARKS IN THE AREA, THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS HAVE BECOME AN OBSOLETE BIT OF AMERICANA.

1946: GROVEVILLE AND BROMLEY SUMMER PLAYGROUNDS

I WAS A REGULAR VISITOR TO KUSER SCHOOL BACK IN THE 1940'S WHEN THEY HAD THOSE WONDERFUL OUTDOOR MOVIES PROJECTED ON A HUGE SHEET HUNG FROM THE SECOND STORY WINDOW OF THE SCHOOL. BACK IN THE PRE-TELEVISION DAYS, AN OUTDOOR EVENING OF MOVIES WAS A REAL TREAT. LAUREL AND HARDY WERE MY VERY FAVORITES.

1937: HAMILTON SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS

EACH SUMMER, THE TOWNSHIP OF HAMILTON THREW OPEN THEIR SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE USE OF THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ILLUSTRATED HERE ARE KIDS PLAYING AT THE MAPLE SHADE AND DECOU PLAYGROUNDS. THE POST THAT FOLLOWS IS FROM THE SAME SUNDAY TIMES ADVERTISER PICTORIAL.

1937: HOMEDELL SCHOOL PLAYGROUND

HOW I WISH MY COLLECTION INCLUDED MORE OF THE TRENTON SUNDAY TIMES ADVERTISER! EACH WEEK THERE WAS A PICTORIAL SECTION WITH INCREDIBLE PHOTOS OF THE ERA IN WHICH IT WAS PUBLISHED. THESE PHOTOS WERE EXTRACTED FROM A 1937 ISSUE. I REMEMBER CARL CORELLI AND HIS BROTHER TOM. THEY WERE STUDENTS AT KUSER AFTER THEY LEFT HOMEDELL BACK IN THE '40'S.
