Memories of Our School Days at New Ipswich Appleton Academy
Are you an Appleton Academy alum who relishes reminiscing about your time in high school? Or perhaps, your parents and grandparents shared stories about their Appleton school days (before Mascenic became the local high school in 1969) and you’d like to hear more? And even if you’re new to town, you may enjoy learning about Appleton Academy from local alums who attended the well-regarded town high school in the 1950s and 1960s. If so, you are welcome to attend a loosely-moderated discussion hosted by the New Ipswich Historical Society on Saturday, November 18, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the New Ipswich Library (6 Main Street). This program, which is free and open to the public, is part of an ongoing NIHS effort to chronicle important aspects of New Ipswich’s history in the 20th-century. It will be video-recorded and eventually available on the NIHS website.
Charles L Tarbell was postmaster in the 1890s.
