Scope and content
ca. 1954. Dupont School basketball team. DuPont is a community southwest of Steilacoom between Fort Lewis and the Nisqually Reach in northwest Pierce County. It is on the site of Fort Nisqually, a Hudson's Bay trading post, but was named for E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company, a manufacturing leader in explosives. It was, in the beginning, a company town peopled by those who worked in its factories. By the 1950's, Dupont district drew 95% of its students from Ft. Lewis. This appears to be the school's younger team, attired in uniforms and team jackets.
