Supplies From Machines at Gables
By JOYCE DENIS Correspondent As days rapidly pass, activity becomes an important part of school life. At Gables, much is happening. Orders are now being taken for the Cavaelon in the homerooms or from any journalism student. This year, books are being sold on the "installment plan," thereby allowing the purchaser to pay half the cost at ordering time and the remainder in January or February. The price is $6 for the college-size, 9x12, 336 page yearbook. "Do you have change for a dollar? I need a dime for that machine." "That machine" refers to the new way of purchasing school supplies: paper, pencils, composition books, pens and the like. Dimes, nickels, and quarters are all that is necessary to feed these suppliers which are placed in every hall. For the 8th year in succession, Carroll's Jewelers is presenting the class of '63 with senior keys. The keys are gold with an embossed school seal on the surface. Smiles are visible on the faces of Gabelites since our recent football victory last Friday when we demolished the North Miami Pioneers, 14-0.
