Five yearbooks belonging to a seventh grade English teacher at Elkhardt Middle School in Richmond, Virginia. 1965-1966 is the earliest, and 1969-1970 is the latest. Each is illustrated in red ink on an off-white background; approx. 50 pages each; black and white; very good.~~Elkhardt had a complicated history due to multiple changes to name and location. This Elkhardt Middle School, of 6300 Hull Street Road, was built in 1914 as Manchester High School. In the early 1960s Manchester High moved to another location and the building was renamed Elkhardt Middle. With the contentious and racially motivated annexation of part of Chesterfield County in 1970, the school moved to a new location on the Southside of Richmond and was renamed Elkhardt-Thompson. This school was closed and scheduled for demolition in 2020, with the original site now hosting the newly built River City Middle School.~~Robert Loving Crump (1929-2017) was a lifelong English teacher in Chesterfield County, Virginia. He never married, and described the loves of his life as teaching and reading. Also the sponsor of the Drama Club - the Elkhardt Players during his years there, he was clearly a popular teacher. Notes from his students describe him as swell, a great teacher, and a cool dude. ~~These yearbooks capture an interesting and volatile time in Richmond's social and educational history.
