"A nity service has increased its
81 81 efforts to meet the needs OF
n ~ our colored population for rec
~ reation and normal community
life The response which
this work has received shows how
great was the need. The colored peo-
pie have shown themselves eager to
get together for neighborhood activ-
tiles and eager for self-eXpression
through dramatics, sings, clubs and the
various kinds of play that go to the
making up of well-rounded commun-
ity service program.

Gently been secured through contribu-
tions for the purchase of this house
for the community. 1t is hoped that
this will be raised to $1,9S5. Only
$1,000 was requested in the beginning
and the securing of almost double the
amount shows the value of the COM
munity house in the minds of the peo-
pie. a sale was conducted for the
benefit of the drive, all the articles
being given by merchants of Hampton
and Newport News. The Harmony
Glee Club, composed of colored men,

 St. Augustine was sacked by Sir Francis Drak. in 1886 and at various periods in it's colorful his- tory it repassed between the Eng fish and Spanish.
