Flashback Friday: Easter 1960
In a long-standing tradition, college sororities create Easter baskets for children whose families may not be able to provide them (or maybe the Easter Bunny has more deliveries than he/she can handle), so these Terriers, at 184 Bay State Road, are helping to fill the gap, on March 25, 1960. Easter baskets symbolize new life, renewal, and the end of Lent.
