This folder contains "dance cards," small booklets given out at school dances that include spaces to write the names of dancing partners. All of them date to the early 1940s. About half represent class formals, including junior proms and senior balls. The other items come from dances hosted by the Arguromuthos Sigma ("Argo") sorority.
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.
Sem títuloThis 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.
