PAGE FOUR ENJOYABLE INFORMAL SATURDAY EVENING AT CONVENT HALL Saturday evening the Convent of Mary Immaculate parlor was the scene of much gaiety when the the seniors as guests at an informal banquet. The reception committee, com- posed of the Misses Olive Gato, Sylvia Baker, Nellie Trujillo, and Gloria Rivas, welcomed their guests. At five o’clock each mem- ber of the faculty was taken to the banquet room where the sopho- mores awaited them. Palms and red and white roses formed the background of the ban- quet hall. The tables, arranged in the form of an open ring, made it possible for all present to face the center of the room where a small table held the centerpiece, an ex- quisitely designed boat signifying motto, “Tonight aunch; Where Shall We An- juniors received rs for the occasion, senior had at her place a doll din gradua s cap and gown and holding in one hand a ribbon, the other end of which was in the boat. At a signal from Miss Gato, each senior drew her ribbon from the boat and found attached to it a diploma on which MORE ABOUT HIGH PRICES FOR ROOMS ONE MAN CLAIMS TO BE PAY- ~G TWO DOLLARS PER DAY FOR ROOM Assertions and counter-asser- tions continued to be made about the rent-ceilings in Key West. A Navy Yard workman says, “I pay $2 a day for a room in Key West and share the bath with four other people.” At the rent-control office, it was declared, “If he pays $2 a day for a room, then he must be living at a hotel. If he isn’t, then we would appreciate his coming to this office, for we know of no rooms in private families or room- ing houses that rent for so high a sum. If he knows otherwise, he may be sure we will investigate the case immediately.” The Navy Yard worker disputed the statement made in a letter to The Citizen that “the average pay of civil employes amounted to $100 a week.” He adds: , “From inquiries I have made of persons with definite knowledge of the pay of civilian employes working at the Naval Operating I am assured the average net pay is less than $50 a week.” WOMEN LOAFERS ALSO BEING ROUNDED UP County author ing women, who 1 work, in the drive West of slackers.

JOEPPH’S SCHOOL BOYS PUT ON DRIVE | | “SELLING WAR BONDS| “Buy stamps and more bonds,” is the slogan of the boys of St. Joseph’s School, Key West, and they practice what they preach, too. Already their one-month-old | | drive totals over $400.00. Eagerly | | they save their pennies, dimes and } jdollars. This shows that Uncle | Sam has sturdy young patriots in | | this southernmost city! Added to their material help, the boys have j formed a “Remember Pearl Har- bor League,” and daily they send heavenward prayerful petitions for their comrades, their brothers, and their fathers who are engag- ed in the service of their country in this time of stress. The Red Cross drive here last week met with enthusiastic co- operation from all the classes; at the end of the three days’ drive, | the boys presented $40.00 to the organization, the wherewithal to outfit forty bags for the boys in the service.
