The Key West Citizen

VOL. LXXVIII No. 203

What Do You Say?

Do you think Key West needs a junior college?

Emory L. Pierce, 417 Elizabeth St.:
"No, I don't think we could support one."

Mrs. Ernest O. Pierce, 1424 Petronia St.:
"Yes, I think so."

Mrs. Marie Pierce, 714 Olivia St.:
"Yes, I think the more schools we have the better it is."

Mrs. James Flenner, 1421 White St.:
"Yes, I think we need one but I don't know whether or not we could support one."

Mrs. Jack H. Pool, 721 Samaritan Lane:
"I don't think it would hurt anything."

Mrs. P. D. Pool, 527 Olivia St.:
"Yes, it would be a good idea."

Mrs. Merle Curry, Stutz Hotel:
"Why couldn't Key West High School become a combination high school and junior college? Or is it big enough? I believe in higher education, but we may be limited as to the number of students who'd attend."

Ray Garlotte, 3-A Porter Place:
"If we had one here, there are many youngsters who go away to college, now, who could take all or part of their higher education here. This would save parents a lot of money."

John L. Day, 1300 Angela St.:
"If there are enough prospective students to make it worthwhile, yes."

Mrs. Edward Sawyer, F8 Passover Lane:
"I do think it would be a very nice idea. Many children's parents can't afford to send them away to college. If they could get college work here, it would be to their advantage."

Dan Schoneck, 1314 Whalton St.:
"I think definitely yes. I'd go myself - I graduated from Key West High in 1955, and don't have the opportunity to go away to college."

Mrs. D. G. Stebbins, 802 Eaton St.:
"I think it would be wonderful. I don't have youngsters myself, but anything that adds to young people's cultural activity is a good thing."

Arthur Curry, 1928 James St.:
"I think we should have one. The town is growing and we need more educational facilities."

Bob Cooper, 418 Bahama St.:
"I sure do. It would save parents lots of money and make it easier for them to provide additional education for their children."

George A. Vidal, B-6 George Allen Apts.:
"It's a wonderful idea."

John D. Linehan, 525 Petronia St.:
"I think anything in the education field we can get here would be highly acceptable to all the people."

Robert L. Brown, 1105 Curry Lane:
"Yes. I'm very much in favor of one. We've reached the proper size for such increased educational facilities."

C. E. Griffin, 814 Fleming St.:
"Yes, very much so. In this way an education can be obtained without leaving the home town, making it cheaper and giving the children of the city a greater advantage."
