Commencement Number 1920, "The Voice", published by Franklin High School at Franklin, Maine. Reading between the lines, it appears that the class contained only two female graduates; I don't know the number of male graduates, but it appears it was a small class.
Approximately 10-1/2" by 7-3/4", with 20 numbered pages and several pages of advertising. Below, the frontispiece, presumably a photograph of the editorial staff.
A surname list and an alphabetical list of the people mentioned in the issue appear farther below.
Images of all of the pages, in order, appear at the end of this post.
Names on the title page:
C. W. Perkins, Principal
Cora A. Jordan, Assistant
Mrs. Lula L. Dyer, Commercial Teacher
Clyde Bragdon, '21, Editor-in-Chief
George Bragdon, '21, Assistant Editor
Blanche Eldridge, '21, Literary Editor
Louise Wilbur, '22, Local Editor
Celia Garbett, '21, Alumni Editor
Raymond Fernald, '21, Exchange Editor
Willie Springer, '21, Personal Editor
S. S. DeBeck, Jr., '22, Athletic Editor
H. I. Stover, '21, Business Manager
Effie Workman, '22, Assistant Business Manager
Another photograph, not identified. It can't be of the graduating class, as it's indicated in the history of the class that only two students were there at the end. I believe they were Marcia Springer, who penned the Valedictory, and Alice Ryder, originally a member of the Class of 1919, who had had to miss a portion of that school year.
The photograph below might show Principal Perkins, his two assistants and the two graduates, the "band" referenced in the "History" of the class penned by Belva M. Simmons of the Junior Class.
