Northern Essex Community College - Lumen Yearbook (Haverhill, MA)

During November of this year an event took place which was unique in the short history of Northern Essex Community College. The first graduating class of the college had its fifth reunion. It seemed a long time since 1963 when this fine group of people left the college with the first degrees ever given to our students. This group included those who produced the first year book, the first newspaper, and the first traditions of the college. Many could not be with us. They are scattered across the entire world. A large number are in the armed forces, others are in key positions in industry and business. Many have gone on through graduate school. A considerable number are high school and grammar school teachers. Some now teach in colleges. Two of them are members of our faculty. These two helped organize the fifth reunion. The really impressive thing about the whole affair was the discovery of what a great difference five years can make. Many of our first student generation are now parents and have families that are a tine resource in the communities where they live. They have proved that Northern Essex Community College really does the job of educating its students. We who remain in the college have a great sense of satisfaction in knowing so many young men and women who come to us with much to offer, and who leave us with even more to give to their world. Each year there are more students, more graduates, and more wonderful people to remember. When this class leaves our college they will do well and will belong to our ever-increasing list of new friends of the college who fill our minds with splendid memories and intriguing new hope for the days ahead. We wish you all that life should give you and that you should give to living. 3
