            Alumni Weekend Leaflet, 76th Anniversary of the State Schools and cornerstone laying of Green Hall, 1931 · Item · 1931
            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            This single page leaflet marks the transition between the Normal and Model Schools in Trenton and the modern institution known as The College of New Jersey in Ewing. Aside from celebrating "Alumni Week-End" (the equivalent to today's homecoming, though held in the Spring), the celebrations marked the schools' 76th anniversary and the cornerstone-laying for the first building at Hillwood Lakes, Green Hall.

            "The Morning-Evening News" (satirical newspaper), 1942 · Item · 1942
            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            The circumstances surrounding this clearly satirical newspaper, and its relationship with The Signal, remain partly unknown. However, it probably relates to a student production of the comedy "Beggar on Horseback" by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly. The rather morbid cover story seems to be a riff on the events of the play, with students appearing under the names of the characters they played. Other "news" stories appear throughout, alongside "advertisements" with the names and members of school organizations, as well as illustrations. Several advertisements related to buying bonds to support the United States in World War Two also are present. No transcription.

            "The Shoes that Danced" program, 1935 · Item · 1935
            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            This program documents a production of "The Shoes that Danced," by the American poet and author Anna Hempstead Branch, put up by "The Laboratory Theatre" at the State Teachers College. The play, which was staged in 1935, would have been one of the earliest in Kendall Hall, which first opened in 1932. Like with the production of "Romeo and Juliet" a decade earlier, it appears that students, with teacher guidance, put together most aspects of the play. No transcription.

            Arguromuthos Sigma "Star Dust Banquet" dance card and program, 1942 · Item · 1942
            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            This booklet most likely came from the same student as the other dance cards; this student was also a member of the Arguromathos Society and may have donated the photos from the same time period. This dance was billed as a "Star Dust Banquet," and unlike the other dance cards in this collection, it includes a menu/program of events. As with the related items, the booklet includes spaces to write dance partners' names--in this case, the only name recorded is "Robert Deakins." No transcription.

            Arguromuthos Sigma dance card booklet, 1940 · Item · 1940
            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            This booklet most likely came from the same student as the other dance cards; this student was also a member of the Arguromathos Society and may have donated the photos from the same time period. Regardless, this dance, held at Trenton's prestigious Stacy-Trent Hotel, shows that despite the Normal School's relocation to Ewing, connections to Trenton remained for some time. As with the related items, this booklet includes spaces to write dance partners' names--in this case, the student danced with "Keith," "Don," "Fred," "George," "Armas," and "Charles." No transcription.

            Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

            This booklet most likely came from the same student as the other dance cards; this student was also a member of the Arguromathos Society and may have donated the photos from the same time period. Regardless, this dance was billed a "Winter Carnival." As with the related items, this booklet includes spaces to write dance partners' names--in this case, the student danced with "[Ruth] Carty and Jimmie Clark," "Jan and Les Hiat," and "Connie and Les Olsen." No transcription.

            Arguromuthos Sorority (Trenton State College)

            This booklet was likely made by representatives of the Class of 1941 for this event, their Junior Prom. It includes a list of class officers and a list of those who arranged the event, as well as spaces for the original owner to write the names of their dancing partners. This person spent the night dancing mostly with one "Don," but also with "Walt and Jeannette," "Les and Helen," "Fred and Christine," and "John and Jean." No transcription.

            This "booklet" features a sheet-metal front cover, something that likely would not exist following the attack on Pearl Harbor later in 1941 and the beginning of wartime rationing. Like other documents of this type, it includes names of organizers and participating students, as well as spaces to write the names of dancing partners. This student danced with "Ren," "Mike Grayson," "Ruth Kane," "John Thomas," "Jay and Don Robinson," and "George and Rosa." These names are likely similar to the ones in the booklet from the previous year's Junior Prom. No transcription.
