Samuel D. Hanson High School 50th Anniversary, 1888-1938 - Buxton, Maine.
Small booklet of 22 pages, with lists of staff and graduates and a history of the 3 buildings used as the school, from 1888 to 1938, when the booklet was printed.
See images of all of the pages at the end of this post.
The original school, a building in Buxton Center, was remodeled in 1888 and used until 1913.
In 1913 a new building was constructed; sadly, it was lost to fire in March of 1930.
A replacement building, on the same site, opened at the end of 1930, with classes in the interim held in the Town Hall and Church.

- The lists of graduates are not in alphabetical order.
- Women are shown with both birth and married surnames, if known.
- Names marked with an asterisk were deceased at the time the booklet was printed.
