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.

This booklet, which was originally pasted into an unknown scrapbook and at an unknown point removed, details the Normal School's Thanksgiving Festival in November 1917. The original production seems to have dressed students as various Thanksgiving foods in the first act, and as allegorical figures in the second. The top portion of the list for Act 3 is covered by the remains of the scrapbook, but the list of names is clear. 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. No transcription.

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 was billed a "Winter Carnival." As with the related items, this booklet includes spaces to write dance partners' names--in this case, the student danced with "[Ruth] Carty and Jimmie Clark," "Jan and Les Hiat," and "Connie and Les Olsen." No transcription.

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."

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.

A review of a meeting of the Thencanic Society by Harry R. Wilson. Although the report is not dated, Wilson was Thencanic Vice-President in 1897, so this likely dates to shortly before then. "Mr. Camp" is once again chided for his behavior, while "Mr. H. Lawrence" and "Mr. [Charles] Hewitt" receive some tongue-in-cheek remarks. Transcript attached.
