Turret
Spring 1977
Fort Hunt High School
Alexandria, VA
There was something about the creative process at High Schools in the 1970s. This staple bound book was created in the High School by one of the classes offered at the time, a printing class. They had on-site printing equipment in the school. I recognize that some of the pages were typed using different fonts, suggesting more than one typewriter was used and considering the number of students involved (26), this was quite an undertaking. Likely completed before Seniors graduated and fluttered off to college, or the military, or elsewhere.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that I live in the area where this High School once was. It's no longer called Fort Hunt, but West Potomac High after two separate schools merged in the 1980s. So, it's quite the collectors item to be sure and if anyone knows anyone who was in this edition, I would love to hear from them.
