Owing to BEE Over 500 persons attended the Commencement program of Dou- lass High School even though lay, June 4, the night on which. it was presented was a stormy night. It had been planned’ to have exercises on the school court, but this was impossible as it was drenched with water due to the unusual extensive rain storm that raged in Key West for a num- ber of days. The play was finally presented in the Convent Audi- torium. ‘The program this year was quite different from the old leursig bate s presented heretofore jou- or It brought the school and community together by presenting teal life scenes.

PROGRAM Prelude — Douglass High School Band Processional — ‘War March of the Priests”.- Mendelssohn Hymn — “0 Worship the King + Audience : Scripture and Prayer — Kenneth Carey Selection “Angelus” + E.

Board of Public Instrue- tion, and parents joined in helping the children by purchasing instru- ments for them. Jenkins, however remained but wife who was and still is employ- ed in the public.school system of Orlando, Florida. Mr. Haithman, who served dyr- ing the present administration of Superintendent O‘Bryant, was the next to come upon the scene. He was employed in the capacity of combination elementary teacher and band instructor, After serving a short time, he married a local girl, Miss Rose Marie Albury and returned to his home Carolina, With his departure the | school was without a band for a time. This troubled the Colored community and great effort was put forward to secure an instruc- tor, This was quite hard to do. Then the community thought of Mr. Dean and wondered if he would come back home. They ap- proached him and the result was that he accepted the offer and came to Key West with his wife and four children. Dean then began the work of re- vamping the band, The entire com- munity stood behind him in this work. Many meetings were called with the P. T. A. going on record to stand behind him 100 per cent. Instruments were needed and a great amount of money in order to get the necessary equipment for a workable band. The P, T. A. agreed to stand responsible for the greater amount of money and the School Board assisted. Many efforts were put on by the band to raise the money to help the band, a program that is still going on. There were many workers, but those deserving spe- cial mention for their untiring ef- forts are Mrs. Lorraine "Saunders, Mrs. Annie Tynes, Mrs, Rowena Pinder, Reynard McGee, Roosevelt Sands, Samuel Rolle, Mrs, Vande- lene Edwards, Miss Malvease Pin- der, Miss Alice Wallace, Mrs. Eli- za Austin, Roy A. Allen, Alphonso Dean and “Alfred Saunders. . The’ band is now a reality and the Feenle Key West are proud es what he has done, show ‘ir appreciation the parents of the children whom he instructs and not the Douglass School Alumni presented him with @ purse on Class night. The next highlight on the pro- *| gram was the presentation of a pantomime by the Seniors entitled “The Green and White Spirit (co- lors of Douglass School). in Our Lives,” This pantomime was based on “The Purpose of Education in a Democracy.” Presented in four Scenes it touched on the following cardinal points of Education « Self Realization, Responsibility, Miss Shirley Roberts, ‘who, will soon be a member of the Woman’s erican School of Music in Chica-! go, did a wonderful job of revamp- | ing music in the school.
