1947: SIXTY SEVENTH REUNION! SURVIVORS ALL!

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.

1948: WILL THERE BE A 65TH IN 2013?

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. 

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 flown!

1960: A MINI REUNION COMING UP IN OCTOBER 2012

Above is a "Photoshopped" 1960 yearbook which has the reunion committee superimposed. If it were my class of 1951 I would be able to identify each and every one in the photo. To any Hornets from that class, I'm sure you can to!

Below are the details of a "52.5" reunion to be held by the Class of 1960 at Hamilton High School Watson West. (Known to my generation as "Hamilton High."

1962: HHS '62 ANNOUNCES THE 60th REUNION

I received an email from my old friend, Freddie Schulz asking that the fall 2012 reunion of HHS 1962 be posted
As usual, I am happy to act as a publicity source for local reunions. It is usually a moderately easy task to draw on my extensive collection of HHS graphics from my collection of Hamilton High memorabilia and ephemera.
This post will be re-posted as the event nears. As I age, I find that my memory is "long term" which allows me to remember 60 and 70 year old persons, places,and things. So Fred, having said that, I ask that you understand that I have been known to have a problem with "short term" memory and I know you will remind me, when you think you would like a re-posting of this page.

A THANK YOU NOTE FROM HHS 1945

Miss Louise Baird was the vocal music teacher at Hamilton High School. Among the countless things she taught us was the ability of music to raise the human spirit and elevate it to an incredibly wonderful experience; lifting the soul to unimaginable heights. This year, I will once again try to raise that spirit in the few music lovers who will come to Kuser Park for an afternoon of good old fashioned sing along music on the lawn in front of the beautiful Kuser Park Gazebo. The program I present is called "THE MUSIC WE GREW UP WITH." It's nice to sing along to songs that have understandable lyrics and ballads that bring back many sweet memories. Details to this free program will be forthcoming as the spring-summer season progresses. The graphic above came from a class of '45 Hornet who was on the committee for the HHS 1945 reunion. Over the years, I have presented the program to the Trenton High Class of 1942, Hamilton's class of 1942, Hamilton 1949, and perhaps more, but time seems to dim those memories. Misty eyes proliferated as we sang the songs that were popular during their high school years. The music brought back pleasant memories of that first dance, first girl or boy friend, and the songs that were on the "Big Top Ten" during those years. Music does indeed have a soul touching ability. It is one of the many gifts our Lord has bestowed upon mankind.

Notify me at tglover320@optimum.net for any upcoming reunions. (Not only HHS but all area reunions.) Also, if you learn of the death of any HHS alumni from any year. I will post information on their passing. Be sure to include the year of graduation when known. Also notify me with that fabled list of "MISSING CLASSMATES" that accompanies most reunion notices They will also be posted.
