I am also a hopeless, aging old guy looking back on how blessed I have been with my COUNTLESS precious memories. 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. 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 find that the site is much too limited in bringing the larger and more legible photos and articles. I am no longer posting on my Hamilton High School class of 1951 CLASSMATES.COM pages. 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. 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. 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. 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. I went from Miss Kelly's "Reception Grade" right into second grade at Kuser School. 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.
