Historians at UMass Lowell continue to mine the newly rediscovered archives of the International Institute of Lowell for stories and photographs that help tell the story of the organization and of the city of Lowell.  This photo shows at Arabic language class taught by Mrs. Victoria Estfam at the Institute.  Does anyone recognize any of the young women in this photo?
