As I prepare to come back to the local area for my 50th class reunion (1964), I was
absolutely shocked to see the graduation rate was 67%---what happened I graduated from
Northeastern university in 1969---Narragansett had me well prepared for college--app program---with the emphasis on education in Ma---esp Boston--this is unacceptable.
