Photo Booklet of the ? Reunion of the Class of 1926 at Calais Academy in Calais, Maine; possibly 1951 or later

Reprinted, with permission, from the Heirlooms Reunited blog

Booklet of photographs bound by ribbon in the school colors of the Alumni Reunion of the Class of 1926 at Calais Academy at Calais, Maine.  The year the reunion was held is not stated, but possibly 1951 or later.

The booklet was printed at the Harvey Studios in Calais, Maine.  

The only clue in the booklet is the handwritten name of Don Mitchell on the back cover. He may have been Donald N. Mitchell (1907-1987), either a Class of 1926 student, a teacher or a guest at the reunion.

I'm assuming that the first two photographs in the album are a contrast between the students at the time of graduation and, later, at the time of reunion.

If you recognize people in the photographs, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.
