A recent column in the Journal Opinion takes a look back at graduation activities in the Northeast Kingdom and nearby communities before 1980. The piece covers baccalaureate services, class night events, commencement ceremonies, class trips, yearbooks, and alumni reunions at high schools in Groton, Newbury, Bradford, Thetford, Woodsville, and Orford.

The column draws on stories from each school but does not include every institution in the region. It offers a snapshot of how these communities marked the end of the school year in decades past.
