A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Although I attended St Joachim's from 1955 onward, the picture seems like things hadn't changed much from the decade prior.
Was this the kindergarten room? Funny how you remember the rooms being bigger, when you were small!
OH boy this brings back nightmares....the beatings with rulers, face slapping, pinched ears and the hard punches to the side and back of the head. The nuns beat the he** out of us and for most of us... for no good reason and I was one of the quite kids. Yeah in the early 60's it was bad. I have to go take some zanax now to relax..I get chills every time I see pictures of St Joachim's school. "I survived Roman Catholic School" but I have the mental scars to prove it.
I was one of those public school "heathens" who reported on Monday afternoons at close of the regular school day for religious instruction from 1950-58. Quite and experience and I remember that room well!

Immaculate and I was a fellow public school "heathen" like Tom most of my days LOL:)
