Description
Langley High School student Sterling Clinton working in the Woodshop while Japanese visitors look on. Jun Inove from Tokyo and a foreign exchange student (wearing Plaid jacket) served as interpreters. Langley High School, located in the Sheridan neighborhood of Pittsburgh, was named in honor of the noted astronomer and first director of the Allegheny Observatory, Samuel Pierpont Langley. The school, designed by architects MacClure and Spahr, opened on April 9, 1923, and replaced the Riverside High School. Langley High School was the first Pittsburgh school to have a modern home economics kitchen, a new Science Department, and a public address system.
