THE RO-HAWK MOSAIC

 The removal and hanging of the Ro-Hawk Mosaic - ALMOST!

This is the original entrance to the main hallway in the original building. The Ro-Hawk mosaic was hung on the outside of the cafeteria wall. It was a gift to the school from the Class of '64.  The Ro-Hawk should stand the test of time and be forever a representation of the Ro-Hawks everywhere.  We have had the mosaic removed from the wall and it is waiting to be rehung in the new high school building. Because this mosaic is very heavy metal it needs to be hung very carefully and on a weight bearing wall.  An engineer or contractor needs to study the situation and make sure it is done correctly. We have been promised that this will be accomplished by the new Superintendent, Dr. Holt.  

The following are pictures of the new school buildings and a proposed place for the Ro-Hawk mosaic to be hung..

View of the Taj from Perimeter road going towards the base

The picnic area with tables and lunch and the famous "flying saucer" where many photos were taken

Gloria relaxing on the many new benches around the school

Mike Scott waving from where the original stairs were and double doors leading into the mail hallway of the original building. The building in the background is the original cafeteria (now a multimedia and all purpose conference center.

This will make you cry but it was necessary. The original building was demolished and in it's place... a parking lot. Brings to mind that song 

"Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot"

This is where the main hallway in the original high school building was. That building is the old cafeteria

This is the side of the cafeteria now the all purpose conference room

Well, that is supposed to be the Ro-Hawk Mosaic (I'm not an artist 😂)

This is a close up of the "missing tile". It turns out that the tile is there, it is clear. It just needs some paint

Here she is - the Ro-Hawk mosaic - on a table in the teacher's lounge

Mike Scott and me by the Mosaic

The parking lot and drive through parent pick-up where the original building was

The arches are still there as is the original admin building

The backside - parking lot view of the Robert Mickler Memorial stadium

The main drag into the base
