WESTPURT EUMPLETES FIFTY YEARS Could we but turn back the pages of time to Westport's earliest days. what scenes would unfold . . . The organization ot Westport High School in Ianuary, 1892, with Mr. W. T. Longshore, principal, and one teacher, Miss Sarah Steele . . . The first graduating class of only two members . . . The commencement pro- grams of the 1890's, in the small, poorly illuminated auditorium oi the original building at 39th and Warwick . . . The boys in their stil! collars and high- buttoned shoes . . . The girls in their long, tight-waisted dresses . . . The program by the graduates, followed by the presentation oi beribboned diplomas. Here were graduated men and women whose children and even grandchildren have attended Westport. Here were laid the foundations of Westport traditions. -fvvw X p GD 0 G D G 65.3 B fN---- - - ef rx-1 A , ,H fN Q1 c gill! llll ll lhlll llllll llllllll 'Will l-lll Kllllillmli lllll llmlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIANIIIIUIIIIIUIIIIlmlllflIlllfllnllll'Illl.llllU'IIllll? 0 I is U E 3 E not 5 fn ' 'YW Lt 5 E XJ Q .
