Pleasing You . |ard, Buck Knight, Mr. and Mrs. | Ovide, Key West High School Alumni Members of the Key West High School Alumni, honored guests of the Class of 1939 and other friends enjoyed a highly success- | ful social evening last evening at the’ La Concha Hotel -Rainbow Room and Cocktail Loungé on the occasion of the 26(h Annual Party given for graduates by the ‘association. Over two hundred persoris ‘were in attendance at the banquet and | dance and everybody was loud in their praise of the affair, the first combination dinner-dance sponsored by the group. The program was very inter- esting, featuring speeches by Su- perintendent of Public Instruc- tion Melvin Russell and Profes- | sor Horace O’Bryant, principal of! the Key West Junior-Senior High | School.

Professor O’Bryant called the} group’s attention to the fact that | he had officiated at the gradua- tion of more than forty percent; of the. total number;of over eight hundred. graduating: from. the} school. since its establishment in 1908. ‘He has been principal since 1933. - Professor O’Bryant said he! hoped ‘he’ would be principal of | the school long enough so that | people here will not greet him: rson | “Hello, Mr. Duncan”. The program during the dinner hour was presented by Allan Armstrong, who played while the banquet was in_ progress. The new Key West song, written by Stephen C. Singleton and put! to musi¢ by Mr. Armstrong, was! presented to the assemblage, first | fe | being sung by the composer, then joined™in by everybody present. A novelty number was pre- sentéd by Mr. Armstrong in the form of yarious “How Do You} Do?” numbers, complimenting} embers of the asociation and in- vited guests.
