While preparing Smithtown High School West for the upcoming school year, athletic trainers discovered a time capsule that Smithtown Central School District students had put together from the years 1973-1992.
The instructions were to open the time capsule in 2017, but it was not found until this summer.
Smithtown High School West Principal William Holl opened the time capsule to see what was inside. Some of the contents included a yearbook from 1973, homecoming banners from the 1990s, track and field times from the 1970s, class ring designs, and a lunch menu from 1992.
“It was wonderful taking a blast through time here at West,” Principal Holl exclaimed.
