Coral Gables Riviera-Times

CORAL GABLES Country Club

By GORDON TAYLOR The schedule for club activities is gradually getting under way. The newly-appointed Tournament and Trophies Committee, headed by Frank Howard, in a meeting this past Tuesday, discussed golf, tennis, bridge, swimming, boating, entertainment, theatre and history and traditions of the club. It is hoped that every member will find a sport or amusement to his or her liking. Shuffleboard on the south end of the patio and chess and checker boards painted on the patio tables also got in for a good talking over. A course in public speaking and ballet classes for juniors and adults, open to members only, are two of the recent suggestions. Things are certainly looking up. Ballet Class Princess Nina Caracolele, whose career began with Nijinsky, has captivated a number of us with her charm. Her days on the ballet will be finished soon. She feels that many of you members will be interested in a ballet class at the club for yourselves and your Junior Members, so we have set aside 11 a.m., Thursday, June 19 for you to meet her personally and inquire about registering for a six weeks' course. The Children's class will meet one hour ahead of the adult class, one morning each week, with the first class beginning June 26th at 10 a.m. Each class day will be interspersed with conversational French for the pleasure and amusement of the students. Princess Nina said that "the ballet does not mean the kicking of one's feet over one's head, as that is very bad." (The quotes do not do justice to her musical accent.) Players Active Now that play number two is in its first stages of rehearsal, Director Cassell is busy appointing members to start reading for the play to succeed LADIES OF THE JURY. Don't forget that your membership card makes you eligible for every activity within the Club. Sylvia Furlong, who did such a grand job of directing JASON, will be pleased to learn that the Country Club Theatre is going to have it's own "Oscar" awards. Our trophies are going to be emblematic of the Country Club of Coral Gables for generations to come. Ballroom Cooler Hereafter, when the rain drives you dancers indoors, it is hoped that the ballroom will be much cooler since the installation by our good member, Van Huff, of his glass jalousies. Van gave a swell party to the members of his corporation in the dining room last Tuesday. Speaking of dancing, we are going to ask you experts to give us demonstrations of your specialties during our regular dance night. When we tape your shoulder, don't say "no," because you AND that person. "Fair and Warmer" is the name of our Fashion Show Saturday, June 14th. Our member, Mrs. Robinson, of Coronet, is sure you ladies will like it. Give Charles a ring at 4-1560 for your reservations. Welcome Optimists It is a pleasure to welcome the Optimist's Club to our roll of civic organizations. Their first meeting will be Tuesday, June 17th at 6 p.m. Past President Rogers says that 6 p.m. means SHARP. June 2nd was the day of another Duplicate Bridge group with Major and Mrs. Frank Baker coming out on top. Club Personalities: Tommy Miller, head bartender, will spring his new drink, called Co-Conga, on his unsuspecting members soon. Did you know that a Rob Roy is made from Scotch and Sherry? Your new housekeeper is Mrs. Thera Buchner, who is just as sweet and nice as she looks. Her husband, Harvey Buchner, is in charge of club maintenance. Our head cheeker, Fannette Zimmerman, is vacationing in Cuba. Frances Burel will head for Arkansas next week for a two-week visit with her family. Charles May will spend his time with Mrs. May, who has not been well for some time. His talented daughter, Jacqueline, has a part in Ladies of the Jury. Ex-WAVE Catherine Hincke will visit Relative Army father and mother in Pittsburgh. Evelyn Snyder is doing a fine job of morning reception-her relief is that genial "Ex-GI Fly-Boy" Bob Henshaw who takes over in the evenings. Tommy plans to move his wife and new baby into a brand new home on his vacation. That pleasantist of waiters, George Keyes, uses August for his sojourns home. Chef Maxwell is enthusiastic about the barbeque plans. Incidentally, we wish to call to your attention that Club members are always free to use the patio even on Monday nights for "weiner roasts" and the like with no charge. Several of the members have already made use of this convenience and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Club Calendar Friday, June 13: Rotary Club Luncheon 12:15 p.m., Civic Room.
