EA NNISQUAR Village Hall Association will celebrate 
its 11th anniversary Monday, August 24. This society 
is composed of both the summer colony and the towns- 
people who aim to encourage public spirit and promote 
the true interests of Annisquam by maintaining the hall 
as a social center. The hall is a picturesque old building 
shaded by great elms and standing at the head of the 
street facing the old wooden bridge. It was falling into 
decay, when a group of summer residents, aided by the 
advice of the village minister, purchased it and a society 
was at once formed of all the public-spirited people in 
the village. Educational classes were formed and a boys’ 
club and band organized. Plays, lectures, concerts and 
dances are held in the hall. Perhaps the most generally 
useful feature of the association is the circulating library 
of over 2,000 volumes. Many new books are added each 
year and all service in the library is given gratis. Epis- 
copal services are also held in the hall. ‘The children of 
the town have not been forgotten. They have been en- 
couraged to raise vegetables and flowers, and prizes are 
awarded at the annual meeting for the best gardens. ‘There 
is also a committee to look after the trees of the village. 
One of the most interesting classes is the boys’ band looked 
after by the music committee with Miss Annie E. Fisher 
of Boston as chairman. Miss Annette P. Rogers, a mem- 
ber of the state commission for the blind, of Boston, is 
also much interested in this department. ‘The boys do 
not make a practice of playing in public, except on Memo- 
rial day, but play for invited guests every Friday evening. 
It was through the work of the association that the old 
wooden bridge was saved, when, a few years ago, it be- 
came unsafe and an iron structure was in sight, a com- 
mittee immediately visited the city authorities and brought 
about the reconstruction of the historic old bridge. ‘The 
officers of the association are Charles F. Bradley, presi- 
dent; Rev. Judson P. Marvin, Ist vice president; Miss 
Bertha A. Lane, 2nd vice president; Miss Helen Davis, 
treasurer; Mrs. E. F. Sargent, secretary. Prof. Charles 
F. Bradley, who has been president of the association 
since its organization, is in Europe this summer. When 
last heard of he was in Switzerland. 
Recent guests at “Tideway” cottage, the home of 
Miss A. P. Rogers and Miss A. E. Fisher, were Miss A. 
C. Putnam and Mrs. M. Y. Wynne of Boston and Tryon, 
No. Carolina, and Mrs. Richard Stagg of Boston.
