SOUTH MIAMI SCHOOL NEWS Intra-Mural Football Series Ends Here Today

Editor’s Note: News for this column is gathered by the students at the school and presented as a weekly feature for the South Miami school news every week in the Riviera-Times. The 7th grade boys defeated the 6th grade boys in a thrilling football game Tuesday afternoon by a score of 24 to 20. This was the fourth game in the series between the two teams. The 6th grade won the first game; the 7th grade the second and the third was a tie game at 35 to 35. One more game will be played between the two teams today after school. Co-captains of the 7th grade team are Tommie Morris and J. R. Orvin. Other members of the team are: Joe Atwood, Colin Hulme, Leamon Richardson, Richard Edmonson, Frank Tipton, Jack Helms, Bob Horton, and Jimmie Ingram. Members of the 6th grade team which is captained by Henry Vander and Gary Register are: Marvin Evans, Fred Warren, Terry Kelley, James Geiger and Wade Edwards. 7B3 and 7B2 are battling furiously for the 7th grade boys soccer championship. Each class has one win and one tie to its credit. The seventh grade honor rolls announced today, include: Mrs. Morrison’s room, Colin Hulme and Elynor Wright; Mrs. Perry’s, Audrey Lewis, Gail Acker, Bob Symmes, Catherine Shafer and June Burnsed; and Mrs. Phillip’s room, Anne Flynn, Doris Bruner, Alma Carroll, Shirley Ann Geiger, Benny Stephens and Frank Tipton. The entire school is very proud of our new cafeteria. The school board spared no expense, and the architect did his very best from the convenience of the kitchen and the dining room to the artistic pale green decoration. The staff finds it so much easier to prepare the meals for the approximate nine hundred that are fed each day. Also the board has been most generous in new equipment. A large dish washer is the newest addition. Everything the market affords in the way of fresh vegetables is prepared daily for the children. Menus include a meat or meat substitute, an assortment of salads made with home made mayonnaise and home made pies and cakes for dessert, besides other desserts from which to choose. There is always a choice selection of fresh fruits. Especially do the children enjoy the cakes and pies which compare favorably with those served in the most exclusive tea rooms and restaurants. Mr. Hayes, the principal, and the management of the cafeteria, invite any parent or resident of South Miami to visit it at any time and they believe the patrons will be happy to see that the children are so well cared for now. Show Movies During the last two weeks, the 7th grades of our school under the guidance of Mrs. Mildred Perry, audio-visual director, have been working on a very worthwhile project, that of darkening a classroom for the showing of motion pictures. Some of the boys put up the board and traverse tracks over the five large windows of the room. Every one is proud of the way in which the drapes work and in their appearance also. We will be forced to use the classroom facilities until the auditorium is again available for this purpose, as it is now being used for a class room. The three seventh grades of our school are going on a beach party on Friday, December the 19th at Matheson Hammock. They will leave the school about 11:30 or 12:00 and will be chaperoned by four of their teachers. There are several new pupils in Mrs. Hayes’ room now; Edward Watson from Indiana, William Hohman from Vermont and Adrian Purnell from Shenandoah school in Miami. Dorothy Overn is back in school after being absent for a month due to illness. Patricia Jo Baker has been very ill. She is now recuperating from an appendectomy. Barry Starnes has returned to school after a visit of several weeks spent in Lancaster, N. C. This absence was occasioned by the hurricane and high waters near his home. The Girl Scouts of troop 191 went on a hike to Matheson Hammock on Friday, December 12. They hiked to the picnic grounds and one of the mothers drove them back to the Methodist Church where the troop meets regularly. They roasted hamburgers and weiners, played games and had a most enjoyable time. Making Posters Mrs. Brock’s room has been making Christmas posters and all of them have turned out quite well. These posters will be used to decorate the walls of the cafeteria as well as to give the children practice in poster making. This room is also making presents for the children’s parents for Christmas. Mrs. Ramsey’s room is planning on a lovely big Christmas tree and also a party. Every child will bring one or more ornaments to put on their tree and the party will be held on Friday before the Christmas vacation. The school in South Miami has grown so tremendously in the last few years that it is taxed for seating capacity so every one was thrilled last week when the last portable available in Dade County was brought out to us. This means that we will soon be able to again use our auditorium for plays, pictures and assembly programs.

Milk Gets Higher, Eat Mud, Both Will Give You Pearly Teeth

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN UP Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. (UP) I don’t really believe the Federal Government wants American mothers to take milk away from their children and feed ’em mud. No matter what its proven medical merits. The idea just slipped out, kind of, when the ladies and gentlemen of the Bureau of Labor statistics dropped up to Capitol Hill to deliver their weekly compute d household budget for a family of four. This called for around $3,-000 a year, as of these inflated times, to keep a father, mother, son, and daughter decently housed, clothed, fed and washed. Such a family drinks 12 quarts of milk a week and squeezes 10 tubes of tooth paste on its molars a year and still its teeth aren’t as good as they could be. Sen. Ralph Flanders of Vt. wondered if perhaps that was because the family didn’t get enough milk. “Not at all,” replied Mrs. Dorothy S. Brady, the handsome young chief (with excellent teeth) of the cost of living division. “The principal reason for drinking milk is its calcium content.” Mrs. Brady, who held a lead pencil in her right hand and a cigarette in her left and gestured with both, said the lawmakers undoubtedly were familiar with the beautiful teeth of Mexicans. All the milk they drink you can put in a tequila glass. Use Lime Water “But they soak the corn for their tortillas in lime water and thus get all the calcium they need,” she continued. “Who,” demanded Sen. Flanders, “told ’em to do that?” Mrs. Brady said she didn’t know. Suddenly she thought of something else; namely, mud. “Certain tribes in Africa used to eat certain varieties of mud, which had a high lime content, and they also had excellent teeth,” she said. “But then came the missionaries and . . .” “Who?” asked the senator. “The missionaries,” Mrs. Brady replied. “They watched these natives eating mud and told them it was an unsanitary habit. They made them quit it.” “Yes ?” prompted the senator. Resumed Mud Eating “And their teeth deteriorated,” Mrs. Brady added. “Later, when the missionaries went away, they resumed eating mud and their teeth improved.” Mrs. B. noticed out of the corner of her eye a reporter I shall not name furiously scribbling notes. She was quick to add that she had nothing against milk, even at 21 cents a quart; she just wanted the senators to know that people don’t have to buy their calcium from a dairy, no matter what the milkmen say. “And may I add to this fund of dietary knowledge?” asked Sen. Flanders. Mrs. Brady said, by all means. “Well sir,” the senator said, “we used to keep pigs up in Vermont and they ate mud, too. But only certain kinds. They turned up their noses at some mud puddles and delighted in others. They knew, as did your Africans, what it takes the laboratory today to find out.” Mrs. Brady said he undoubtedly was correct. She said also that she wouldn’t be surprised if Americans kept on sneering at mud—they being such antiseptic people—and began chewing calcium tablets, like they do vitamins. That’ll fix those cows. Their milk won’t be good for anything much (correct me if I’m wrong, milkmen) except boiling down into imitation pearl buttons.
