He was so- impressed that he invited the Miami schools to visit here. Said he, “Since the Key West Players is the only really active group here, I came to you tonight to ask for your cooperation.” The Players unanimously agreed to give their best efforts.

He invited the Players to attend the conferences at the high school auditorium beginning with a gener- al meeting at 1:30 p. m., Oct. 25, He expects Mayor C. B.
