Jazz at the Philharmonic
At Beach October 15
Norman Granz, jazzdom’s No.
1 impresario, will bring his fab
ulous “Jazz at the Philharmonic”
aggregation into Miami Beach
auditorium on the night of Oct.
15, when local jazz fans will have
the opportunity to hear their
favorite artists perform in full
concert.
The 1952 roster of talent is
even more impressive than that
of former years. On the top of
the list is Ella Fitzgerald, referr
ed to internationally as “The First
Lady of Song,” who graciously
lives up to her title year in and
year out. This is Ella’s fifth tour
with Jazz at the Philharmonic
and she considers these yearly
journeys the high points in her
career. Not only is Ella the great
favorite among all musicians, but
she wins the mqst consistent
yearly awards from all the jazz
polls conducted here and abroad
acclaiming her the most popular
jazz vocalist in the world.
Battling it out on the drums
will be two young men who have
no peer in the percussion depart
ment, Both of them have appear
ed with JATP in the past but
have never before been featured
on the same bill, They have both
had their own bands and have
achieved world renown for their
dkill on the skins. JATP .audi
ences have a real treat in store
when Gene Krupa and Trio and
Buddy Rich bounce on stage.
Also on the bill will be the pi
ano wizard Oscar Peterson, who,
since his discovery by Grantz
three years ago, has become a
meteoric success in the jazz world.
Schooled in the classic, Peterson’s
Mercury recordings are among
the best sellers in the instrumen
tal vein.
Tenor saxaphone stars Flip
Phillips and Lester Young will
be on hand again to keep the
“joint jumpin.’ ” Lester, the
“cool” one and Flip, the “hot” one
are both considered tops in the
tenor sax department and have
Walked away with first place in
all of the music polls.
Roy “Little Jazz” Eldridge and
Charlie Shavers will be spot
lighted in the trumpet section
while honors, as always, go to
Ray Brown, top bassist in the land
for a decade.
The grade A caliber of the tal
ent roster is rounded out by
piano expert Hank Jones, ace
guitarist Barney Kessel and Wil
lie Smith, alto sax.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1952
PHYLLIS WHEATLEY
With the opening of the new
school term, the faculty and stu
dents of Phyllis Wheatley were
quite jubiliant over the idea of
being in a new school. For most
of the student body and a large
number of the teachers this meant
attending school or teaching in a
building other than portables for
the first time in their school ca
reers. Naturally this thought had
its place in the hubub and excite
ment that usually attends the
opening of any school term.
Amid many ohs and ahs the
Phyllis Wheatley School family
is now off to an intensive work
year. The entire school personnel
returned to the new Phyllis
Wheatley, and several new mem
bers have been added. Mrs. Wil
lie Mae Brown, Miss Hazel Cun
ningham, and Mr. Donald Hyler
are additions to the faculty; Miss
Erma Lee Sands Frederick has
returned after a year’s leave.
Mrs. Johnnie Stirrup has joined
the cafeteria staff and Mr.' Ro
land Carey has been added to the
staff of custodians. They are all
welcome additions to the school
family. -
The first assembly program was
held Thursday in the cafetorium
when the school patrol was in
stalled and given their belts. This
organization performs a very
useful service to the school find
proves itself capable of the re
sponsibility placed in young
children for the safety of their
fellow schoolmates.
PTA members will assemble
Thursday evening, October 2nd
for the first meeting of the year.
A very interesting and active pro
gram for the 1952-53 school year
is being planned. If you are the
parent of a child attending Phy
llis Wheatley be sure to help
make the PTA meaningful this
year. Phyllis Wheatley is your
school and it is through your in
terest and participation in the
school and the PTA program that
the teachers ma v hope to do an
all around job of assisting your
child to a useful, wholesome,
happy youth. If you are not an
active member of the PTA, plan
to be one this year. Come out to
as many meetings as you can.
You owe it to your child.
AUDIO-VISUAL

absence of Mr F. Edgar Lane,
welcomed the teachers to the
irst meeting of the year.
Old and new business was the
ir r Jsr of the day and the group
found at the end of the meeting
more had been accomplished dur
ing this first meeting than had
been expected.
One of the projects to be taken
up this year will be a survey of
the unmet needs of the Audio-
Visual Aids program in the Ne
gro schools of County. Mrs.
Rose Stewart will supervise this
survey. Other projects will fol

DOUGLASS HIGH
(Key West)
By Barbara Lennon
As I sit here in the library of
“Dear Old Douglas” I keep say
ing to myself, and I know that
many are joining me in the idea
that our school is beautiful and
beautiful is the way we’re going
to strive to keep it.
As I walked into the classroom
September 4, I could see a vast
difference in the looks of the
building. It was apinted a beauti
ful shade of green and immacu
lately clean.
After looking on the inside of
the building that we love so well
I walked around observing the
outside too. The lawn was green
and beautiful. There was hardly
any paper on it and everyone was
just as happy as could be. Then,
I looked into the faces of the stu
dents.
Their expressions seemed to
say: “We’re going to keep our
school this way always because it
shows the spending of quite a bit
of money and labor.”
On the left of the school fac
ing Petronia Street, a building is
being constructed. I didn’t know
exactly what its purpose was. I
soon found that it is to be a lunch
room. This is really a necessity.
Words cannot exnress our lat
itude and appreciation to Supt,
Horace O’Bryant and the board
members for all these splendid
things they have done and are
continuing to do for us. We can
really say that they are truly in
terested in mak’~" '’*e schools of
Key West the best in Florida. So
again, we thank Mr. O’Bryant and
the members of-
- wish to welcome our prin
cipal and teachers old and new
and to thank them for their guid
ance and good teaching. Profes
sor Allen is doing much to steer
Douglass on the road to progress.
We do appreciate everything he’s
doing to help us.
