Hill's oil painting, depict- ing the Notch from south to north and most likely paint- ed atop Mount Lafayette, places the once popular Profile House in the center of the scene, a place where Hill served as artist-in-resi- dence for 15 years. Fittingly, the painting now resides above a piano that was saved from the Profile House after a fire destroyed the property in 1923. The Tramway Building now sits near the former site of the hotel. At a dedication ceremony this past Saturday, Barbara Crystal Hodgdon, right, has been hired to teach at Gale River Trask Taylor, recalled her Cooperative Preschool, where she joins veteran teacher Janet Williams, father, Charlie Trask, pur- left.

HAVERHILL –– Award-winning National Marionette Theatre will take the stage for a special performance at Alumni Hall in Haverhill on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. with the classic tale Hansel and Gretel. For over forty years, National Marionette Theatre has been amazing audiences around the world with their exquisitely crafted mari- onettes and adaptations of popular stories for all ages. Hansel and Gretel, the newest production for the company, will feature scrolling scenery, lively mari- onettes and music. The audience is invited to stay after the show for a look at the "behind the scenes" workings of the show with master puppeteers David and Peter Syrotiak and an ice cream social. Alumni Hall's Director Keisha Luce got a preview of the show last summer, "I was amazed by National Marionette Theatre and when I looked around the room I could see so were all the kids and adults in the audience. Their shows are so unique and special. I feel so lucky that we have them at Alumni Hall this summer. It really is a treat for eveyone." Tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults and can be reserved or purchased at the door. Thank you to the New England Foundation for the Arts NEST program and the Wells River Savings Bank for their support of this performance.
