Throwback Thursday! In 1941, the Bruce Blevins Gym opened on the campus of Port Townsend High School.
That same year, Cheerios hit store shelves and the comic Wonder Woman debuted. Since then, the gym has been home to countless basketball games, wrestling matches, school assemblies, music concerts and moments of community pride. It’s more than a gym, it’s a place where school spirit and community come together! 🏀🤼
