Souvenir booklet of the Class of 1940 of Calais Academy in Calais, Maine, with handwritten activities and names, plus a program for Class Day, 1940, held at the Gymnasium, Tuesday, June 11.
Reprinted, with permission, from the Heirlooms Reunited blog.
This souvenir booklet belonged to and was completed by graduate Erma O. Ayer.

The Activities page has some handwritten entries pertaining to Erma O. Ayer's school career, including membership in the National Honor Society.
