Yearbooks

 
Northwestern's yearbooks have changed names and titles as the institution itself changed over time.

Cullings was the earliest yearbook publication. Appearing only for two years--1920 and 1921--it combined features of a yearbook with those of a literary journal. Northwestern was then only an academy.

While Northwestern added a junior college to the academy in 1928, the difficulties of the institution during the Great Depression forestalled any yearbook until 1939, when De Klompen (Dutch for wooden shoes/clogs) first appeared for both the academy and the college.

World War II then challenged the institution. It wasn't until 1945 that the next yearbook was published, titled The Horseshoe. The next year (1946) the title changed to The Glimpse. (This was billed as a "photo album", but it contains no photos of individual academy or college students.) Then there was a year gap until 1948, when De Klompen was reclaimed as the yearbook title.

From 1948 through 1983, De Klompen remained the title. The yearbooks were for the junior college and academy and for the college alone once the academy closed and the college became a four-year institution of higher education in 1960-1961.

In 1984, the title changed (for the last time) to Cornerstone. The last yearbook appeared in 2009.

NOTE: The yearbook pdfs are searchable (Ctrl + F). Also, the year of a given yearbook usually signifies the second semester of a given academic year. That is, the 1948 yearbook is for the 1947-1948 academic year.
