Scope and content
Dupont School pictures; school boys. Dupont is located between Ft. Lewis and the Nisqually reach in Pierce County and was in the early days inhabited by settlers and employees of the Hudson's Bay Trading Post. It was named for E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company, a manufacturing leader in explosives which opened a powder plant in DuPont in 1906. However, by the 1950's, most of the student body came from Ft. Lewis families. The boys are dressed in slacks or jeans with dress shirts or t-shirts, however, almost all of them are wearing undershirts.
