Happy New Year (from a few years back)

by Rick Teller '70, Williston Northampton Archivist

1939-01

Williston started producing annual wall calendars in the 1930s, initially as a fund-raiser for the class yearbook, The Log.  In the Archives, we never purchase new calendars; it’s much more fun to go to the files and pull old ones that match the current year.

1939 was a pretty rotten year for most of the planet, but Williston began the year with optimism, as, one hopes, we all do in 2017.  On behalf of all of us at Williston Northampton, best wishes for the new year!
