The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-06-02

friends enjoyed a highly success
full social evening last evening al
the La Concha Hotel Rainbow
Room and Cocktail Lounge on
the occasion of the 26th Annual
Party given for graduates by the
association. $685.. $500
Over two hundred persons were
in attendance at the banquet and
dance and everybody was loud in
their praise of the affair, the
first combination dinner-dance
sponsored by the group.
{ The program was very inter-
esting, featuring speeches by SUI
perintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Melvin Russell and Profess
sor Horace O'Bryant, principal of
the Key West unior-Senior High
School.
Attention was called to the
number of graduates this year
and to the fact that, as time goes
on, Key West High School Alum
nj should be more proud of their
school.
Professor O'Bryant called the
groups attention to the fact that
he had officiated at the gradua-
ton of more than forty percent
of the total number of over eight
hundred graduating from the
school since its establishment in
1908. He has been principal since
1888. Professor O'Bryant said he
hoped he would be principal of
the school long enough so that
people here will not greet him:
Hello, Mr.. Duncan.
The program during the dinner
hour was presented by Allan
Armstrong, who played while
the banquet was in progress.
The new Key West song, written
by Stephen c. Singleton and put
to music by Mr.. Armstrong, was
presented to the assemblage, first
being sung by the composer, then
joined in by everybody present.
A novelty number was pre-
scented by Mr.. Armstrong in the
form of various "How Do You
Do?" numbers, complimenting
members of the association and in
vited guests.
