Graduate Finds Old Photo

                           
1949 NE Tech graduating class... Seymour Golden today

     Seymour Golden cleaned out a drawer recently and discovered old World War II photos as well as the photo of his class's 1949 New England Tech graduation photo. Unlike this year's class of over 800 graduates, Seymour's class had only six graduates. Seymour is on the right in the back row.
      The class attended New England Tech, which was then called New England Technical Institute and was located on Broad St. in Providence, under the GI Bill. All were students in a two-year plastics program, which provided training in how plastics were manufactured, prepared for distribution and shipped.
      Seymour never pursued a career in plastics, instead deciding on a career in sales. After finishing the program, he went to work for Belltone Electronics and remained there for 35 years. He retired only to find retirement boring, and returned to Belltone. Seymour currently works part-time and stays fit by running an hour a day. He visited the campus recently and is amazed and pleased by the growth of the college
