See Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of the RHS in the 1960s.
I started Roosevelt in 1957 and graduated in 1961. Janitops Poom was there when I started and still there when I graduated.
We were the class of 1966 and they were “pooms” when we arrived. As our senior class gift, we changed them all back to “rooms” one day. The next week they were back to “pooms.” Some legacy we left! I still have a photo of some us doing the touchups.
This is a bit off the beaten path, but since we’re talking about “images”… I was asked by a fellow RHS alum about the wooden janitors room doors being “modified” to read “JANITOPS
POOM”. Anyone know when that started? I remember that as far back as 1963. Maybe some grads from the 50s or 40s might know more about this burning question. 😉
Thanks!
