CG High's Yearbook Grabs Honors

By LEE SANDLER Correspondent Coral Gables High's year-book, the Cavaleon, walked away with medalist honors at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association recently in New York. It was the first time that a Gables High book had won this, the highest possible year-book ranking, since 1956. The book that won the hon-ors for Coral Gables was co-edited by Ruth Tshumey and Leslie Gross under faculty sponsor Mrs. Chris Steers. Mrs. Steers is now teaching at Dade Junior College. The conference where the announcement was made was attended by new yearbook sponsor Mrs. Ann Metzger and this year's Cavaleon Editor Rusti Hausman and business manager, Bebe Parker. WIN CONGRESS Debators and National For-ensic Leaguers from Gables have taken up where they left off last year. Last weekend at Miami Beach High the students elected the highest point to-tal to win the annual area stu-dent congress. A student congress is model-ed after our nation and state's legislative branches, having a House and Senate. Students drawn up bills that are refer-red to committees, spoken about and then voted upon. In bringing victory to Ga-bles, four students brought 1 or to themselves by being named Best Speaker in their respective sessions. Those re-ceiving honors were Tim Ferris, Leslie Halpert, Steve Wall and Steve Wayner. TO LEAD Student Government brought further honor to the school on Sept. 30 as representatives to the District VI Association of Student Councils elected Coral Gables their president. The convention was held at the school of the outgoing Pres-ident, Southwest. The Coral Gables delegation, led by Student Government President Jeff Tew, consisted of Timmie Dutcher, Mary Jo Malice, Scott Heck, Jo-Ann Morris, Jo-Anne Hendricks, Ruth Kavanoff. Aleda Pintavalle, Caroline Patterson, Ann Rayburn, Bob Hays, Donna Criswell and Sha-ron Lester. ELECTION The sophomore class held its primary election for class offi-cers on the morning of Oct. 17. Janice Dutcher was elected secretary on the first ballot as all other offices must be se-lected through a run-off. Those competing are presi-dent, Steve Brody and George Cole; vice president, George Gelb and Sue Morrill; and treasurer, Jackie Avant and Kathy Lewis. New National Honor Society senior members were tapped by NHS President Jack Catlin Tuesday morning. A total of 67 students were added to the so-ciety's membership roles.

EDITOR: You write of the leadership of Winston Wynne as being largely responsible for keep-ing Metro intact. I'm not being critical, just curious. During the recent election campaign, I never heard nor read of a word by Mr. Wynne for or against Met-ro. Just what did he do? I think many of us voters would like to be enlightened. ROBERT H. THRONE 417 Santander Ave. (A good question from reader Throne. Wynne's chief activities were in the wings rather than on stage. He was an early organizer of that [TEXT LOST]vntown, pro-Metro group whose momentum carried into all precincts and he also led the Gables work for Metro. Not of little import was his admission, whenever asked, that Metro needed amending, but judiciously and not with the butcher knife of McLeod. —Editor).
