Victoria Wesnitzer (1907-1956) was a Cleveland, Ohio, native who attended St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School prior to entering Notre Dame Academy from which she graduated in 1921. During those years, the academy was located on Ansel Road in Cleveland, having recently moved from Superior Avenue and East 18th Street. After graduation, Wesnitzer married Raymond Noonan but returned to her alma mater in 1931 for her ten year class reunion. She was a resident of Cleveland at the time of her death.
The Victoria Wesnitzer Scrapbook, 1920-1931, consists of a scrapbook of pamphlets, gift lists, autographs, name cards, invitations, programs, clippings, and cards. The scrapbook also includes diary entries from the class reunion of 1931 and a class history.
