New Jersey State Normal School (Trenton, N.J.)This memorial book was compiled by Kenneth Lanning, President of the Model Class of 1904, in celebration of the State Schools' 75th anniversary in 1930. While it focuses solely on the Class of 1904, the book provides a wealth of information into the members of this class, particularly after their graduation. It also includes a photograph (unlabeled) of the students, as well as a facsimile of the class's commencement booklet. Most students' names are not listed as a subject below, as the book provides most of the available information on each. A partial transcript of the autographs in the back of the book is included.

Content warning: While the vast majority of this work contains no harmful content, one "joke" on page 141 includes insulting language about African-Americans.
This scrapbook includes photographs, illustrations, commencement and class day booklets, correspondence, ephemera, and manuscript materials collected by Grace B. Fletcher, Model School Class of 1907. It offers insight into the daily lives and school careers of the Model students throughout the first decade of the 20th century. While the bulk of the items pasted into the work date to around 1907, some date to as early as 1901. In addition, some annotations must have been added later, at least as early as 1916.
Due to the volume's bulky nature, it was not possible to digitize without disbinding the entire volume and scanning pages individually. Two photos of the book before this process are included at the end of the PDF. Pages have been scanned in order, skipping any blank sections; as a result, page numbers may appear to jump. Fletcher also pasted many booklets and folded items into these pages, and these items sometimes required multiple scans to entirely capture. Finally, note that file size limits have required a significant amount of compression to host this PDF, and may negatively affect the quality of the images. An unaltered version is available through Trentoniana upon request.
A partial transcription of the handwritten sections is included.
The following notes relate to specific pages of the document:
- The Class Day booklet on page 121 has not been scanned, as it is identical to one on page 87.
- The clippings found on pages 136-139 were not pasted into the book and may have originally been placed elsewhere.
