Description

Composite of the first graduating class at the Stratford Normal School (1908-09). The photos are in diamond shapes with the teachers/professors having round photos as the bottom and the Principals having rectangular photos. The school is in the middle at the bottom.

See Inscriptions for the names.

Notes

Condition: Fair to poor. Mildew stains all over as well as age stains. There also appears to be some adhesive stains.
The back is very water stained as well - so this has definitely been wet in the past.
Handle carefully.
