Mrs. Wilson Olney, as Miss Margaret Henley, the heiress and her three friends, Misses Bettie Cameron, Marion Reynolds and Barbara Livingston, parts taken respectively by Mrs. Francis Dennett, Mrs. Harry Moore and Mrs. Harry Munsey, were all typical college girls. Mrs. Marvin Young, as Katie O'Connor, gave many a bright bit of Irish wisdom. Mrs. Edgar Warren, portrayed in a very accomplished way, an elderly, oversensitive, sentimental maiden. Mrs. Everett Nudd, as Sarah Jane Lovejoy, from the Lost Nation, who feared neither man nor ghost, made an amusing entrance with her cat, basket, Saratoga bag, band box and cage with "Necessity" the hen. Later, when she put on her apron with "Rock of Ages" crocheted in the lace, it called forth a burst of applause. Her costumes, all the fashion of a generation ago, were kindly loaned by Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Smith and added greatly to the part she so well portrayed. Miss Alias and Miss Alibi, the dumb sisters were well pantomimed by Mrs. Edgar Howe and Mrs. John Elliot. Miss Wilma Toppan, as "Just Lizzie" was a very good little ghost.

The H. T. G. club presented their two members of the cast Mrs. Harry Munsey and Mrs. Everett Nudd with beautiful bouquets of jonquils.

Between the acts Mr. William Elliot sang a number of selections. After the play dancing was enjoyed with then Berkmier's orchestra furnishing the music. Each gentleman was requested to buy a green crepe paper hat and with it was given a white one for the lady.

Much sympathy is felt for Mr. G. Plummer Mace in the loss of his son Leon. He has greatly afflicted having lost his wife and both sons and daughter, within a few years. Leon's health and brain having been gradually breaking down and no one can understand the suffering he might have endured if he had lived longer, so for father and friends his passing may be a relief from much anxiety in the future. Leon was born December 5, 1881. He leaves daughter Beatrice and a little son Leon. Funeral is from his father's house on Thursday afternoon.

There seems to be a difference of opinion about where the first church in Hampton was located. This seems strange as in the Town History it plainly states that it was voted to accept from the town the place where the former meeting house stood, (then and since called first Meeting House and Academy Green) and to erect upon the spot, a suitable school building, which was done in 1810.

In 1881 the Academy Alumni Association was formed and has flourished, meeting year after year with increasing interest. In 1910 it being the 100th anniversary of Hampton Academy, a Tablet was erected on Academy and old church green with fitting ceremonies. Both church and academy are commemorated on the tablet, on the spot where they both stood, it seems rather unnecessary to erect another. Mrs. Lucy A. Marston has much of Dea. Dow's material for his town history and remains of his library and having always had a great interest in the early history of the town thru study and from ancestors' tales and has become an authority on many of the early doings of the town.

There is no question but what the old academy stood where the first log meeting house stood and the site is marked for both church and school.
