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:)

I think that 1964 was Mister Halbert's final year? When I finally arrived at TCHS in 1965, William Walker had taken over with Mister Weisberg as VP. Mister Pontani was doing guidance and he was a pretty nice fellow. Central was a huge school back then I believe our class had over 1,000 students graduating each year. Coming from a small school I think I spent my first month with a map trying to get around. Did you have Mister Weisberg? He had a unique way of determining punishment; if a kid got caught with a deck of cards, he had them cut the deck, face cards were worth 10 days of detention. What a wonderful zoo it was!
I KNEW TOBY PONTANI WELL IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS AND FIGURED HE WOULD DO SOMETHING SPECIAL AS HE GOT OLDER. DAVE WEISBERG WAS AN AMAZING SOCCER COACH AND MADE TRENTON HIGH ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING SCHOOL SOCCER TEAMS IN THE NATION. REGARDS

Hi Skip and Ralph:)
Thanks for the memories about THS:)
Trenton High Principal in my days was Crosby Copeland and I think Mrs Bates followed him. A first class science department 1977-1980 :)
