Tracks
of the Richwood Tiger
Lockers

1964,
pages 88-89

Before
the building (then known as North Union Middle School) was
demolished in 2009
Of
course, the halls were the place where conversations took place
between classes.
They
were lined with a home base for each student, known as a locker.
Some
students had to double up and share a locker. But according to
the daily schedule I kept for my senior year, I had one all to
myself, for which I paid a 50¢ deposit. It was locker 332
and the lock's combination was 8-10-4. (I suppose it's safe to
divulge that now.) |

It
all came to an end for us in May of 1965. The final edition of Tigrtrax
closed with these words from yearbook editors Dianne Steele and Mary
Jo Fetter, followed by the picture below:
Never
again shall the Richwood High School Alma Mater roll from the
Tigers lips. Never again shall the Tiger stand victorious
upon the Richwood Memorial Field, for Tigertown is now a memory, a
memory meaningful only to those who understood what Tigertown really
was. The years spent within Tigertowns walls are
over. However, fond memories will linger forever in the hearts
of all who lived there, although Tigertown sleeps.

When
the cares of life oertake us
Mingling
fast our locks with gray,
Should
our dearest hopes betray us
False
fortunes fall our way,
Still
well banish cares and sadness
As
we turn our memories back
And
recall those days of gladness
Neath
the Orange and the Black.
