Scope and content
A new International Harvester bus is parked in front of the DuPont School in this photograph from March 1940. The original section of the DuPont School was built in 1917 by the DuPont Company and held four classrooms and an auditorium. In 1920, three more rooms and a furnace room were added. Known as the DuPont Junior High until 1960, it became both the junior high and Laughbon High School. It was closed as a pubic school in 1975. The bus body was built by the Gillig Brothers manufacturing company in Hayward, California.
