Scope and content
Dupont school's basketball team, the 1955 West Central Juniors Champions. #3 has been identified as John Welker, #9 as Scott Drysdale and #8 as Jerry Conwell. Noted educator Wendell B. Laughbon is standing at far left with principal John Zurflugh in bow tie in the second row. In the fifties, Dupont was a junior high school. Students attended Clover Park High School for the last three years of their study. In the early 70's, the Dupont school (by that time used only as a high school) closed. Weyerhaeuser purchased the old Dupont school property. (" A History of Pierce County, Vol. 1;" identification provided by a schoolmate)
