Douglass Sponsors Gigantic
Yuletide Festival Dec. II

Douglass is making a supreme
effort to equip its band with uni
forms. The Douglass High band is
an integral part of the school and
the community, and does an ad-
mirable job of representing these
In public places at all times.
Douglass is sponsoring a Yule-
tide Festival which will include
music and fireworks to assist the
band in securing these uniforms.
The Dorsey High band of Miami.
composed of ninety pieces, win be
on hand for part of the musical
show. Dorsey's band is recognized
as one of the outstanding march
ing units of the entire state. This
aggregation will play Christmas
music as well as execute some
very interesting, but tricky forma-
tons on the greensward at Athle-
tic Field on the night of December
IL. These youngsters from Dorsey
are successful because they love
their work and receive substantial
support from the community.
Douglass Highs band will be on
hand to render the other section of
the musical portion Of the program.
The pyrotechnics - fireworks -
will include aerial displays as well
as ground exhibits.
A portion Of the aerial display is
given to show the variety of the
program: Diamond flutter shell,
blue and gold shell, red and
aluminium shell, snow storm shell,
red and blue shell, green and
aluminium shell, variegated color
shell and serpent shell.
The ground display will be quite
diverse and among many other
things will include giant Santa
Claus, a snow flake wheel and a
Christmas tree.
The Douglass band serves all Of
the community but it represents
specifically the colored segment Of
the community. This aggregation
should then be the source Of much
pride to the colored citizens Of this
community. It is in this line of rea-
soning that special appeal is be-
| ing made, to the public in general,
but especially to the colored citi-
zens to support the Yuletide Festi-
val sponsored by Douglass in an
effort to outfit its band.
In this season of peace on earth
good will toward men-every color.
ed citizen should make an effort to
support the band which so ably
represents the entire colored COM
munity on so many occasions.
This entertainment is well worth
the price Of admission and should
be witnessed by every member oi
the colored portion Of the popula.
ton Of Key West.
Tickets are. on sale at the fol.
lowing places in the Thomas Street
area: 33's Restaurant and Mingo's
Shoe Shine Parlor.

gregation that is worthy Of the
