She first saw the light of day January 21, 1929, in Key West. Joyce came to Key West Hi in the 9th grade and we put her to work right away.’ She was then elected Treasurer of the Studert Council while still a “Studious Sophomore” and earned herse!f the title of “Honest Joyce”. She then was appointed chairman of the Recreation Committee. This was really a big job as the Annex had just started to function. Joyce took over and before we knew it, it.was a big success. One of | the best things about it was thet we had a juke box all paid for. How she accomplished this, we'll never know. Like Alexander Hamilton, she just had the gift of being a great financier. She proved to the rest of us that she was capable of holding the fort! and doing it well. We couldn’t let her go by then, so we just elected her president of the Student Council. It can} safely be ‘said that she has been! one of the biggest little presidents j we have ever had. . Like all other people, she, to», ha’ ‘romantic interests. We be lieve Frank Papy, heart throb of all lovers of music in Key Wes?, is in first place, but we could be wrong. To a job well done, let’s give ay big hand to Joyce Mulberg.

French police records show! that the city had between. 1,200! and ~1,500 prostitutes living in registered houses, before these were ordered closed recently and another 5,000 “inscribed” prosti- tutes who ply their trade from cheap rooming houses and shab- by hotels. “But they are not our greatest source of difficulty,” said Capt. Franklin R. Fitch of 2539 Birch| ins Street, Denver, Col. head of Seine _ section’s Preventive Dis- ease division. “That source is the clandestine prostitute—the unre- gistered or uninscribed girl who makes all or most of her living that way and on whom there is no way of checking unless she happens to be picked up in a raid.” Registered houses of prostitu- tion were off-limits to military the madames thonmotape who} knew they would be penalized if they permited American soldiers) to enter their places,” Weekly examinations of regis- tered prostitutes helped control disease, but it is, he said, prac-. tically impossible to control the situation involving casual pros- titution in hotels and rooming houses. MPs and French police make raids frequently on suspec- ted premises; and between 150 and 200 girls are picked up week- Fitch said soldiers picked up in such raids were given preven- tive disease treatment and inter- viewed to obtain possible sourc- es of disease..The women are taken to hospitals, examined. and then, if found free of disease and inscribed as. prostitutes, are re- leased. Unregistered girls who are not diseased are turned loose with a warning and a strong sugestion they register as pros- titutes. If they are picked~ up three times they are forced to register. Diseased women are held for treatment.
