Sentimental and bittersweet memories galore in the spirit of Tom Glover, who spent 12 years in the incredible Hamilton Township Public School system going way back to 1939 when I entered "reception Grade" at Kuser School Back then, the Kuser neighborhood had to spend their freshman year at Kuser Annex which I did, and then on to Hamilton for my Sophomore year. The cut and paste below is from my recent Trenton Times "SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY" column wherein I wrote about the incredibly complete INTELLECTUAL education which was received by those of us who were privileged to attend school during the 1930 through the 1950's.<br />

It was my privilege to bring my nostalgic music program to the 50th reunion of Hamilton's Classof 1952; the class I would have been in had I not skipped first grade for an unknown reason. I went from Miss Kelly's "Reception Grade" right into second grade at Kuser School. Naturally I wanted to get as many photos of the class that I could and it was really nice to talk with my many HHS '52 alums. Those who have been following my columns over the past 36 years will recall that I wrote about those wonderful high school years ain times that were much more laid back. A number of those columns also referred to Madeline Bencivengo, "the gal that got away." Those years were special: Saturday night canteen, the annual operetta and senior play, a coke was Coca Cola and drugs were sold at the local drug store. Ahh such wonderful memories. I wish you "shoulda been my classmates" very Happy Reunion! I have put together a number of graphics that are on file in my "HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL" folder; all dealing with another "Cass with Class" as I have dubbed my HHS '51 alums.<br />

I would have been in that operetta if I was at Hamilton High in the
1947-148 era. However, in those years, my neighborhood did their
freshman year at Kuser School in what was then known as Kuser Annex.
This graphic, courtesy of my friend Audrey Homan Sperling shows just a
portion of the cast for that great musical. My singing buddy Lee
Belardino is see as a fellow freshman under the orange "v" adding his
splendid tenor voice to the chorus. What wonderful memories!<a href="http://www.hhs51.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-7163584912752098032016-03-09T09:58:00.001-05:002016-03-09T09:58:31.171-05:002016: GOODBYES ARE SO SAD; FAREWELL HARRY!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span data-offset-key="1j2am-0-0"><span data-text="true">Harry Hall and I didn't re-establish contact until computer technology came on the scene. Harry surfed the web and found my Kuser School website www.kuser-school.blogspot.com and we became fast friends. How well I remember Harry and his neighbor Marty Majarowitz walking down Newkirk to Kuser School back in the 1940's Harry and I became very close e-mail swapping friends and carried on nearly daily email exchanges until he became ill a few years ago. I will always remember Harry and his reverence for our school days from Kuser School to Hamilton High. Even though I was a couple years his senior, we had enough in common to proudly claim each other brothers,, even to our birthdays; both of which occur in September; mine on the 29th and Harry's a couple days earlier on the 27th. Rest in peace and finally free from all that pain, Harry. We WILL meet again!</span></span>Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-84792550220006569742016-03-05T20:06:00.002-05:002016-03-05T20:07:15.819-05:00FROM THE APRIL 1950 CRITERION - MEMORIES OFMY FIRST TRUE LOVE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span data-offset-key="b5jao-0-0"><span data-text="true">It was March, 1951; time for our class trip to Washington in 2 buses. I was on bus 1 and as luck would have it, the girl of my dreams was on bus 2. I'll never forget that day when we stopped at the Luray Caverns and explored Mother Nature's incredible underground display. It was here that I fell in love with Judy Britton. She had on a very stunning navy blue suit, and was movie star pretty. I will never forget the thrill and electricity that surged through me as we walked hand in had in those dark caverns. Here's a pleasant memory of my classmates that I scanned from a 1950 "CRITERION" which I received from Bob Oliver HHS '50.</span></span>Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-47072266262732100842016-01-11T23:08:00.002-05:002016-01-11T23:08:31.828-05:001951 - 2016: "PRECIOUS MEMORIES, HOW THEY LINGER.."<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span data-offset-key="5jrup-0-0"><span data-text="true"> I am no longer posting on my Hamilton High School class of 1951 CLASSMATES.COM pages. I find that the site is much too limited in bringing the larger and more legible photos and articles. All of which brings me to this post: I have devoted my retirement years to my memories of growing up in a very rural Hamilton Township. I know there are a number of my contemporaries who have absolutely no interest in their past life, but as I grow older and older and older, I find that the memories I hold deep down in my very being should not be repressed. In short I am a hopeless romantic. I am also a hopeless, aging old guy looking back on how blessed I have been with my COUNTLESS precious memories. For instance: The photo I took was on one of my MANY passes I take to the best high school in the world (My opinion, of course.) I can't express the deep, delightful emotional wave that comes over me when I see that lovely settee under the school flagpole. School is ending, we were graduating seniors with our yearbooks at our side, garnering signatures of our classmates, and then that miraculous and never to be forgotten act of young love between me and the girl I would ultimately marry. Some folks take those memories to the cemetery. I take mine to the place where the memories were made, and this is one of those treasured landmarks for me.</span></span>Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-30855186633250051862015-09-14T08:20:00.000-05:002015-09-14T08:20:51.805-05:002015: GOOD BYE, DICK.

I received a phone call last evening via voice mail from a relative of Dick Chmielewski, our class of 1951 classmate who went on to form the DICK CHIMES polka band. His incredible group brought many wonderful hours to the Kuser Park gazebo when the township engaged professional groups to play at that great venue. Dick was known for a very warm and cordial personality and he had a killer smile for everyone. We'll miss you Dick, and your surviving classmates will re-unite with you in the Hamilton High class of eternity! Rest in peace, my friend. <br />

the years will agree, Miss Louise S. Baird, the vocal music teacher at
Hamilton High School during Judy Britton Glover and Tom Glover's
attraction to this incredible lady has left an indelible impression on
both our lives. Those of us who were privileged to have been in her
music classes as choral singers will agree that we not only learned how
to sing in 8 part harmony, we also learned about the cultural and
theological aspect of living. After we graduated together in 1951, my
dear wife Judy and I maintained almost daily contact with Miss Baird, or
as she was known to her very closest friends, "Ouise" pronounced
"Weeze." At the time of our graduation in 1951 Miss Baird was caring for
her aging mother and it was that summer that she passed away, leaving
Ouise alone and very lonely. Judy and I loved being with her as she
taught us the wisdom of the ages as seen in the 5 or 6 scrapbooks that
she kept with notable quotations from the likes of Helen Steiner Rice,
Kahlil Gibran and other deep thinkers. She also had a delightful piano
in her Hamilton Avenue apartment and would always sit down and play our
favorite musical pieces. Judy's was "Traumeri," and mine was the
"Moonlight Sonata." To be honest, Ouise is largely responsible for the
man I have become. She has left me with memories of some of her quotes
which she said every man should live by. Three of them are alive and
well in my lesson on living: "Greatness is Humble," "The true test of a
man's character is what he would do if he would never be found out,"
"Though you travel the world over in search of the beautiful, you must
carry it with you or you find it not," and this gem from Keats: "A thing
of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases. It will never
pass into nothingness."<br />

Above is the announcement of the 50th reunion of the combined classes of 1965 and 1966. I have always felt that the combining of classes would make for a much more interesting reunion. Having been very active in reunion activities over many years, I find if so very disappointing number of classmates who never come to reunions outnumber those who attend by a huge majority. Sad to say (and this is my opinion) many guys and gals don't like what father or mother time has done to them physically over the years. On the other hand, there are those of us who wear those wrinkles proudly and carry all those other vestiges of aging confident in the realization that "we're all in this aging thing together." I have found that personal appearance takes a back seat to being with that person or persons we loved and respected during our young years. Personalities shine, not personal appearance.

Over the years I have been quite active in tracking reunions from my era
as an alumnus of Hamilton High school. The 50th anniversary of HHS
included my sister in law, Dolores Britton Paul and I was approached by
Ms. Grace Wallace to publicize the event. I had a HUGE cardboard wall
size display on which I posted memorabilia from that era. Look closely
at the black and white graphics and you will see many memories of the
40's and 50's.Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-80515092008075127202014-10-17T11:30:00.000-05:002014-10-17T22:30:00.118-05:001950: HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

High school sweethearts. As I find them, I will be adding to those who were included in the category of "High School Sweethearts," and in some cases, "Grammar School Sweethearts." One of the songs I sing during my sing along programs provides a perfect addition to these posts. It's called:<br />

<b>I saw the notice of HHS 1947's 67th reunion in yesterday's Trenton Times and am proud to post it on this website as well as www.glover320.blogspot.com and my Facebook pages. As I paged through that beautiful copy of "RETROSPICE," many old friends were pictured. Eddie Kamp, Clem Edmonds, Merrick Francis, etc. Having just attended my class of 1951 60th reunion, it warms my heart to see that the orange and black lamp still glows brightly for the class of '47. God bless all of you and may you all have a wonderful afternoon remembering those good times we had in the 1940-1950 era. </b></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>This Sunday's "Sentimental Journey" column on page 2 of "The Times" will recall the year 1954 and the many friends I have from that Hamilton High school class. The 1950's are quickly moving back in time with distant memories still retained by those of us in the 70 to 80 age group who remember a much less hectic and slower lifestyle. Back then high school girls wore modest skirts and blouses, and the boys neatly dressed with a necktie or attractive sport shirt. Drugs were sold in a drug store, and Coke was a delicacy at Hamilton High's Park Avenue teen hangout, "Toon Towne." Weather permitting, this week's Kuser Park Tom Glover music program will concentrate on the great songs from that era. </b></span></div>

As I peruse my extensive collection of HHS yearbooks, find I am drawn to the years between 1948 and 1953 where many of my friends were contemporaries. Bill Flury probably doesn't remember me, but I remember him quite well. He was a very soft spoken and humble individual. Here is an extract from the 1950 RETROSPECT wherein Bill tells his classmates of his distinguished career.Tom Gloverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25200725.post-77480749778850271352014-03-06T09:50:00.001-05:002014-03-06T09:50:30.483-05:002014: TRIBUTE TO MISS LOUISE SIMPSON BAIRD<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>We all had a teacher or teachers who had an influence on our lives long after we left the hallowed halls of grammar and high schools. For me, there were three: Miss Louise Baird, Miss Julia McClain, and Miss Ruth Margerum. Miss Baird and Miss Margerum were the two teachers who cultivated my lifelong interest in music, while Miss McClain encouraged me to focus on my natural talents of reading and writing way back in the 6th grade at Kuser School. These teachers instilled in me an incredible interest in these fields that has remained with me at the age of 80 plus. </b></div>

We're all familiar with those reunions where our classmates tell us of the great success they have had since leaving the hallowed halls of learning; many times regaling us with stories that foretell a fantastic and affluent lifestyle. Back in Hamilton High, Louise Baird asked us to memorize the following quote and to live by it:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>"GREATNESS IS HUMBLE." </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That personifies Pat and Bob Beckett who as you can see in the graphic above, have quietly shared their intellectual accomplishments for the benefit of others. Indeed, they have remained true to the slogan of the high school of our youth, <b>"ENTER TO LEARN, GO FORTH TO SERVE."</b> You and Pat have done that, Pat and Bob, we are very proud of you and what you have accomplished. </div>

I
received the above email from Mr. Brian Maher advising me of the
forthcoming retirement of Suzanne Proulx from the Vocal Music program at
Hamilton High School. Over the ensuing years this very talented and
music-minded lady has kept the tradition of musical excellence alive at
Hamilton West as she very admirably continued the tradition of musical
excellence set by her predecessor. I'm sure all HHS alumni wish you a
very happy retirement, Suzanne. You have given the Township of Hamilton a
reason to be proud of your incredible music talents. <br />

Anyone
who has followed my column and my internet sites knows the great love I
have for my musical education beginning way back in 1943 when I was in
Miss Ruth Margerum's Kuser School "Glee Club" to 1948 when I was
privileged to have been a student of Miss Louis Simpson Baird who was
the Vocal Music teacher at Hamilton High before it was known as "West."
When "Ouise" retired in the early 1960's Hamilton lost a lady who left
her musical mark on countless alumni. Sue Proulx filled that spot and
has maintained the tradition of vocal music excellence that has become a
Hamilton West hallmark. As that song I often sing from</div>

<b style="color: black;">It
seems like only yesterday that I heard Dick Soffel and Rudy Gering on
Trumpet and Bob Reed tickling the ivories in the Hamilton High School
band.with Jack Hartman the band leader. My sister Dorothy was to have
been in the class of '48 but the Glover finances were at the poverty
level and she had to leave school and went to work at the Circle F
Manufacturing Company in order to help with the family finances. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: black;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I
completely missed the recent class of 1947 reunion, and even though
there is a very remote possibility that there is a Hamilton Hornet from
that class or an adjacent class who is on the computer, I would be
interested in posting a possible 65th on this website if indeed there
will be one. Unless my math is faulty, these "kids" are now averaging 82
years young. How time has flow</span>n!</b></div>
