Example of Richmond Alumni interview sheet for Dorothy L. Brooks, former school secretary 1955/6 – 1960. WHC Collections 2024.005.0003

In 1987, Richmond School celebrated its 75th Anniversary. As part of the celebration, the organizing committee sent interview questionnaires to former students and staff asking questions such as:

  • Years and grades they attended
  • Favorite teacher(s) or principal and why
  • Favorite games, activities or songs
  • Most vivid memory of Richmond
  • Most embarrassing moment(s)

Their responses were used to compile a 75th Anniversary booklet about the school. A pdf version of this booklet is available on the WHC website HERE.
