Organizational History

This collection pertains to the annual class records, or time capsules, that were created to commemorate graduating classes. It was originally a set of sealed metal boxes for the classes between and 1939 to 1962, plus 1983. There were 19 such boxes, one for each year except 1942, 1955 and 1958. Having been soldered, some of the boxes came apart over the years and others were opened to provide material for the various alumni class reunions. Materials in the capsules were removed from their original boxes and placed in archival folders and boxes.
