Critic's Reports, 27 October 1899
Critic's Reports, 27 October 1899 · Unidad documental simple · 1899
Parte de TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

Two reports for the meeting, or meetings, in the last weeks of October. Both are dated October 27, but J. Foster Post's report likely refers to the meeting of October 20. Regardless, Post's report was rejected. The second, by an unidentified author named "R. Reynolds," directly criticizes the apparently poor quality Post's report.
Both reports describe events surrounding the Thencanic's anniversary celebrations, held the last Friday in October, which further complicates the question of dating. Either way, these reports together give insight into a long-running and much beloved annual Thencanic event. Transcription included.

“The Girl Graduate: Her Own Book," scrapbook by Emma R. Kerns Crofton, Normal School Class of 1916 · Unidad documental simple · ca. 1911-1917
Parte de 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.

Thencanic Reunion Booklets, 16 June 1905 · Unidad documental simple · 1905
Parte de TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

At the end of the 1904-1905 academic year, the Thencanic Society held a reunion banquet for its members and alumni, the product of which was this booklet. The event included a number of speeches by past Thencanic Presidents (and James M. Green). Perhaps most importantly, the booklet elaborates the names of the Thencanic's presidents through the February 1905 term. A partial transcription, covering only the autographs, is included.

A note: Trentoniana owns two copies of this booklet, which are identical aside from the autographs section. The first three pages of the attached PDF cover the entirety of the first copy, while the final page is the only unique part of the second.
