This pair is from Roachdale, Indiana, and they were worn by someone named “Dick” who was in the graduating class of 1961. Roachdale is about 30 miles west northwest of Indianapolis and about 50 miles from my own hometown of Worthington, Indiana. I most certainly remember the days when senior cords were not just a tradition but a right of passage from being “just another school kid to one who’s almost ready to step out into the real world. (I still have my own cords and wouldn’t give them up for love nor money.)
