lowing invitation:
Tomorrow Thursday night at
eight o'clock let every man, woman
and child who ever attended st.
Johnsbury Academy, forget all
other business and social duties and
gather at the Academy chapel for
another glorious reunion.
Hundreds of invitations have
been mailed in all directions all over
the country to former teachers and
students and a large number OF
them have already replied that they
will be here.
From far and near,
Old grads will be here,
And the faculty they'll be here too,
And the boys who were fired,
And the girls who retired,
And mercy me! goodness knows who.
We wish again to call attention to
necessary qualifications Of an alum
nus, emitting him or her to attend
this reunion, as elucidated last year.
No matter if you didn't graduate.
No matter if you were fired"
No matter how much of mess you
made of your academy career or how
short or how long it was, if you ever
were connected with ST. Johnsbury
academy in any capacity, come to the

kindness and generosity of the edit

reach you.
The decorations of the hall for
this years reunion will be entirely
different from anything previously

Come and have a good time.
Most cordially,
