In the early 1980’s senior members of the West High faculty compiled a fascinating booklet called “The First Fifty Years”. It is a chronology of how the school evolved over time. One chapter called “In Addition” covered what was involved in the original design, and subsequent building additions.
To view the scanned pages from “The First 50 Years” detailing how the building was planned, and the chronology of the additions that were added after the “Class of ’58” graduated, you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader® installed on your computer.
