Summer and Evening Sessions Part-time sessions at Merrimack are di- vided between courses during the summer months and evening classes during the reg- ular school year. Adult education is the primary concern of the Evening Division. Here ambitious rep- resentatives of all walks of life devote their evening hours to intellectual pursuits. The rewards are Associate Degrees in Arts or Bus- iness Administration, or Certificates in Sec- retarial Science. Summer classes afford educational oppor- tunities to those whose work allows them little time during the regular school year. Re- ligious teachers are brought up to date on the latest findings in literature, history and sci- ence; students make up required credits and businessmen learn the new techniques of management. Ah! just the thing to relieve that dryness on hot sweltering days in summer school. These three students don’t look too unhappy, just anxious for the dismissal bell so they can enjoy a cool, refresh- ing swim.
