Hazel Billings, second grade teacher
at the North Barre school. This is net
Miss Billings frat year in the city

completing a course Ia the state nor
NAL school at Randolph a few years

until she started back to Barre she
worked in the bayfield,, in the garden
and at homework, much of the time
from a. m until dark.

long tenancy of the harness It retained
disposition best described as sweet
