1922: MISS MARION BARRICH APPOINTED TO YARDVILLE HEIGHTS SCHOOL

I have always prided myself on the clarity of my hand writing. Indeed, I have been doing calligraphy for many years. It is a stroke of irony that Mr. Robinson, who ultimately became Superintendent of the Hamilton Township Public School system wrote with a hand that left the reader to wonder, "is that Barrick, Barrich, Parrick, Parrich?" Perhaps my friend Don Whiteley, a very knowledgeable Yardville Heights historian will be able to tell us.
By the way: That salary of $1200 is annual NOT WEEKLY!

1994; MINI HISTORY OF YARDVILLE HIEGHTS SCHOOL

Yardville Heights: One of the more fascinating areas of Hamilton Township. The little community on the "heights" overlooking Crosswicks Creek has always held a special fascination for me. Indeed, the Yardville-Groveville-Lakeside Heights-Gropps Lake-Lakeside area is frought with many memories of my teenage years. I was a frequent visitor to "Lakeside" back in the 1940's. It was here that my classmates in the choir at Hamilton High Class of 1951 held a beach party, and where I fell in love with my wife of 55 years, Judy Britton. Ahh, the memories! Don't miss the dark hair on that guy in the photo. Rest assured it is all silver today.
NOTE THAT "SYKES" AND "DILATUSH" ARE MIS-SPELLED.
THE EDITOR'S ERROR, NOT MINE!
