In recognition of the observance one year ago this week of our Centennial Celebration I am sending to you this communication, the contents 'of which will be inscribed on my records:' North Andover was incorporated 101 years ago this month. One year ago we celebrated gaily, appropriateYy, and enjoyably o~r Centennial. LeU us reminisce for a moment; let us not forget those ~v_ho have gone from our midst, those who worked and labored, so hard in the past 101 years in order that we of all faiths might have spiritual and cultural development here in our Community. North Andover is connected by highways, airways, and rail with Boston, Lawrence, Lowell, Haverhill, and many'other cities and towns in the Merrimack Valley, which includes within its forty-mile radius a 'population of ~ver four million, The Town has the third largest area in the county of Essex. North Andov~r,s easy access to large cities and its friendly people, its muni6ipal, civic and fraternal organizations, explain in part the phenomenon of its being one of the fastest growing communities in the ~tate.. North Andover, with its open town-meeting form of government, has its general election on the first Monday of March,. followed by its Annual Town .Meeting on the second Oa~urday of March, each year. The future growth and progress of North Andover are assured, if the Community continues to follow the democratic teachings and ideals of the people. 'So let us of North Andover continue to pray together, work together, remain united in thought and action; thus we will transmit this Town of North Andover to our descendents not less, but greater-- and more beautiful-- than it was transmitted to us. Change is taking pi'ace at an accelerated rate, and so perhaps it is better to let years pass before attempting To record and evaluate them. JOHN J. LYONS, Town Clerk, No. ~ndover, Mass.
