The NU Library is in search of Yearbooks and I'm asking for the community's help! Here are the years that are missing from the NU library: Anything older than 1935, 1940, 1944, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983 and 1984. So, if you are doing any spring or summer cleaning and come across an old yearbook you'd like to get rid of and donate with the above dates, drop them off at the school. They will go into the NU Library for historical purposes. Thank you!
