Model School Commencement booklet, 1903 · Stuk · 1903
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

This booklet from the 1903 Model School commencement includes lists of graduating students, their home towns, and their area of study. It also contains the list of commencement exercises. Of some note is the mention of an essay given by honor student Charlotta Miller on the Black poet and author Paul Lawrence Dunbar, which has unfortunately not survived. The student roster also includes several surnames that appear in other classes from around this period, namely Britton, De Cou, and Bosworth; these students may be siblings of those sharing their name. Some students from the Class of 1904 also appear. No transcription.

“The Girl Graduate: Her Own Book," scrapbook by Emma R. Kerns Crofton, Normal School Class of 1916 · Stuk · ca. 1911-1917
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

This scrapbook includes photographs, illustrations, commencement and class day booklets, correspondence, report cards, and ephemera collected by Emma R. Kerns, Model School Class of 1916. It offers insight into the daily lives and school careers of the Model students throughout the school's final years before its closure after the 1917 academic year. Later annotations also appear; some are perhaps by Miss Kerns before her death in 1977, but others most likely were added by past Trentoniana librarians following the book's donation ca. 1977. Any additions in a clearly different hand have been rendered in italics. Some of these italicized annotations simply read "index," probably referring to Trentoniana's card catalogue.

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. Kerns 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.

History of the Model Class of 1904, 1930 · Stuk · 1930
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

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.
