MIAMI TIMES, MIAMI. FLORIDA PAGE SIXTEEN BTW ALUMNI IN GALA REUNION As was predicted, the Booker T. Washington High School Alumni Association soonsored the most successful series of reunion activities this week in the history of the popular organization. The annual program, marking the first and second reunions of the classes of 1942 and 1°32. re spectively, was held Monday afternoon in the school’s auditor ium. In addition to the senior and junior classes, faculty members and a number of visitors, a large number of graduates—many dat ing back to the early classes of the school, were present at this special occasion. Rev. Richard DeVeaux deliver ed the principal address in behalf of the class of 1942. Rev. DeVeaux spoke on the subject: “An Alum nus Reflects and Projects.” Well prepared and eloquently deliver ed, the address was a master piece for the occasion. Manatee Bannerman, executive secretary of the Carver Branch of the YMCA spoke in behalf of the class of 1932. Bannerman used as his subject: “Where Shall You Serve.” and gave some common sense food for thought to the large graduating class in their future life. Other traditional re union items were carried out very effectively. Among highlights of the day’s activities was the announcement that Miss Irene Burns, a consci entious member of the graduat ing class, and daughter of Rev. and Mrs. George N. Burns of 1222 NW 62nd terrace, was the student selected to receive the alumin annual scholarship award. Another highlight was evidenced during the program when a special tribute was rendered to Mr. and Mrs. Leon McCartney of 327 NW lsth street. The award was in recognition that despite all hardships and handicaps they succeeded in educating all of their eight children and seeing to it that each one finished high school with a commendable record. The last of the eight McCartney child ren, Ralph, graduated Tues day night from Booker T. Wash ington. On the following Tuesday ev ening the annual reunion ball was presented at the Rockland Palace. The affair, which was largely at tended and highly enjoyed by all present, closed the reunion acti vities for this year.
