HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL
TEAM ASSURED OF GOOD
QUARTERS, FOOD ON TRIP
Total OF $45O Raised
Locally To Finance
Trip To Avon Park
This Coming Monday

Enough money to finance the
trip of the Key,West High School
Baseball Team for the. state
championship at Avon Park, has
been raised in the city. it was
announced today by the commit
tee which raised the funds.
There was about $3.50 raised
here in the last few days. When
the baseball team eaves here at
9 o'clock Monday morning, the
members are assured of good liv-
ing quarters and good food for
the period of the games.
Part of the sum was realized
from the play put on by Gerald
Pinder at the Monroe Theater
Thursday night but the major
ity of the money was raised from
private individuals, who did not
want to see the team unable to
make the trip to Avon Park.
Among the contributions was
one of $25 made by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce to help
defray expenses of the team for
its trip upstate to play. in the
championship finals.
In making the contribution,
Robert Dopp of the Jaycees stat
ed that it is regrettable that the
club cannot undertake at this
time to finance the entire trip
because of the forthcoming Jay
Gee conference in August, but
there was no doubt the funds
would be raised for the boys
through civic clubs in the city.
1.-THE Key West High School
has baseball team of which it
may we'll be proud" Dopp said.
1T looks as though they might
be state champions this year if
they continue their present pace
and there is no doubt that they
shall.

the Jaycee Award to the out
standing boy and girl athlete at

we both, as an organization and
as citizens of the community,
should do everything possible TO
further the efforts and help
maintain continued interest of
