How It All Began

I added the first section to the "Kanty Prep History" collection (left) called "How It All Began". It's a paraphrased version of an article I found in the May 1976 Prepster that Mike Trott was kind enough to upload. The article was really informative to me and so I thought it was a worthy start to the history section.

I remember the railroad tracks but not the station. I guess the class of 1975 was too late for the train. But, it prompted me to dig up some historical maps, and sure enough I found one with both the school and the train stop. You can see the the full map by clicking here.

It would be great to get more historical information about the school. Old scans like this are probably one of the best starting points.
