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.

This small booklet likely comes from the same unknown "black paper backing" scrapbook as several other documents from around 1918. It details the fifth annual debate between several debating societies of the New Jersey State Normal School and several from Pennsylvania's Swarthmore College. The topic for the debate, which took place amid American intervention in the First World War, regards whether colleges should substitute military training for athletics during the war.

This photo exists as both a print and as the original glass plate negative. The first page is a scan of the print, while the second is a direct scan of the negative. Both depict the a boy and his Dalmatian dog at the corner of Clinton Avenue and Monmouth Street. While the photographer remains unidentified, the negative was found with others attributed to John S. Neary, Sr., the school's business administrator and a photographer by hobby.

This photograph, perhaps an official class picture, depicts the "Model 1900" boys class and their teacher in a classroom. A list identifying each person has been affixed to the back. While not all of the figures can be conclusively identified, educated guesses provide likely candidates for all but two of the students.

A photograph of a group of children in front of the Normal School, presumably a class portrait. An arrow in the right margin points to a student, but the name underneath the arrow is indistinct. "M. A. Hall" is faintly inscribed on the reverse, and in another hand is inscribed: "Gift of *Anne D Moore, W. Townshend, Vt 1/87" and "this belonged to Mrs. Keppele Hall -- aunt of Mrs. Moore's husband."

This mounted photograph depicts the State Normal School, Trenton, from its location on Clinton Avenue. Three boys, perhaps Model School students, walk down the sidewalk. Scaffolding covers the façade of the middle portion that connects the Normal and Model School buildings.

A side view of the Normal and Model Schools, with the Model School in the foreground. The image, although at its core a photograph, has been colorized and touched-up by an unknown person, perhaps the photographer.

These two photographs, both from the same donor, depict groups of members of the Arguromuthos Sigma ("Argo") sorority in around 1941; only one photo is dated. The first shows the sisters at an outdoor picnic, while the second depicts the sorority in the drawing room of Allen Hall (the center portion of "ABE"). The two photos also include a largely incomplete list of names in each image, provided by the donor. No transcription.

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.
