Katherine Fay Hunt’s Early Photo Album Page 32, c 1925

Author: Katherine Fay Hunt

Year: 1925

Page 32 from the Katherine Fay Ports photo album, likely dating from the mid-1920s, probably around the time of her graduation from Camas High School in 1925. This page appears to mark a more transitional stage in the album, moving away from the playful social tone of earlier pages and toward portraits shaped by courtship, presentation, and the expectations placed on young women of that era. The central image is identified as Katherine Fay Ports. Two of the larger portraits may show Katherine and possibly her older sister Herthel Ports, though identification is not yet completely certain because of the close resemblance between the sisters. Some of the photographs may also relate to Katherine’s later school years at Monmouth Normal School or to her time in Ellensburg, Washington, though those locations remain tentative. This page offers a glimpse of young women’s social life, portrait style, and family memory in southwest Washington during the 1920s, with particular relevance to Camas, Clark County, and the broader history of Katherine Fay Ports and the Hunt family archive.
