BREEZY POINT PRESENTED.
Teachers Cleared Over $125 to Aid
Their Retirement Fund.

Their Retirement Fund.
The public school teachers not
only showed their ability as money
raisers on Thursday evening but also
made evident that when in earnest
they can produce a very creditable
dramatic hit.8 The play given was
simple one, Breezy Point" and their
audience which comprised large
number of school children but fully
as many parents and older friends
was evidently highly pleased with it.
success but even more pleased at
the proceeds, a trife over $125,
which will be turned over to the
Vermont Teachers Retirement Fund
association. AS the town teachers
are trying to raise half a mile of
pennies or over $500, this will be
quite a lift on their journey. No
town in the state has done better but
all the large towns are at work now
and what has been done in St.
Johnsbury will encourage the others
to keep working. Breezy Point"
was staged under the direction of
Mrs. B. G. Peters. The cast was
we'll chosen and the different situa-
tions, particularly the humorous
ones very we'll interpreted. When
every part is well taken comparisons
are unnecessary but without. doubt
the palm would be awarded to Miss
Martha Jenness, who as Mehitable
Doolittle, manufacturer of catarrh
snuff and bitters, was refreshing and
amusing to the extreme. The
"Hardscratch Twins Misses Paul
inc Randall and Mary Ross Kelley
were capital and kept the audience
laughing all the time they we're on
the stage. Miss Gertrude Seavey as
Aunt Abby Dexter made a loYable
old lady and Miss Eva Wilde as Mrs.
Hardscratch was equally good. Other
prominent parts were those of Miss
Emma Mead as Elinor Pearl, whose
only sorrow is that her parentage is
unknown, and Miss Grace Barney as
Ashrael Grant, whose ambitions are
greater than her heart and her
dreams are realized when the chance
comes to go to Europe. The minor
parts were taken by Misses Wini-
fred Drew, Theresa Newcomb, May
Kennedy, Bertha Donahoe, Bernice
Pierce and Ruby Smith and without
exception were admirably done

Club into a modern office building as
soon as the structure is vacated by the

be able to have the improvement work
completed by early fall. The upper
