PTA seeks purchase of Merkle site for Hillside playground
The PTA Presidents Council urged the Board of Education to acquire the Merkle property on Maple Ave for expanded Hillside Avenue school play area. The board referred the request to the Building and Grounds Committee after noting a 1965 referendum failure and a zoning variance denial for the same site. Additionally, High School Principal Ruhl L. Custer announced retirement at year end, June 30 1963, with the board considering a replacement via the committee of the whole. Mrs. Mac Popick praised Custer’s work with youth and urged careful deliberation.

With school board plans to expand Hillside Ave play area facing referendum delays, officials weigh whether to resubmit or pursue alternate uses as March budget timing looms. The decision underscores tensions between zoning, school needs, and local tax considerations.
