Gables High Notes / Students Walk Away With German Exams, Written, Oral

By LESLIE GROSS Coral Gables High School students walked away with the first three places for Dade County in the National German exam for the second year students. The exam was given at the University of Miami and consisted of both written and oral questions. First place in the nearly 2 hour exam went to Maxine Master. Leslie Gross placed second, Eloise Melson third and Suzanne Frank, fifth. The scores of the four highest Gableites were 137, 134, 126 and 122, respectively, out of a total of 155. Six Gables seniors took the GAT or General Aptitude Test on Saturday, March 11. This exam is administered through the National Honor Society throughout the nation and is used as a criterion for the awarding of several National Honor Society scholarships. These six students earned the right to take the GAT by doing well on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test given last fall. Four more Silver Knight candidates have been announced by the schools. They are: Music—Richard Ginn, an honor student with an outstanding record in band and orchestra. Journalism — Ruth Tschumy, co-editor of the school yearbook, president of German Club, and member of National Honor Society. Speech and Drama — Alan Dinsmore. Alan has excelled in debate, winning forensic honors on statewide and even interstate levels. He has also won distinction in various essay contests. The latest entitled "My True Security" and sponsored by the Coral Gables Jaycees, earned Alan a $25 savings bond and a chance to compete for higher prizes. Languages — Maxine Master. Maxine is a Merit Finalist, NHS Scholarship finalist, is secretary of Science and Math Honor Society, and a member of Junior Classical League and German Club, both language clubs. This past week she placed first in Dade County in the National German Exam for second year students.

Stock broker George Wilson, one of 12 candidates in the Coral Gables April City Commission race, said this week that Coral Gables needs a new and more conveniently located library, expanded recreation facilities and more use made of the city's advisory planning board.

Library News / Hummingbird Book Fascinates

By EVELYN DUNCAN Reference Librarian For a truly outstanding gift you might like to consider a remarkable new book by Crawford Greenwalt, called simply, "Hummingbirds". It can be seen in the Reference Department of the Coral Gables Public Library. The color photographs, taken with a specially designed, ultra high speed camera, are a delight to the eye. Each of the 70 color portraits are actual life size and the lovely, prismatic colors are reproduced with astonishing accuracy. An interesting text includes a detailed discussion of "feathers, color and iridescence" and an utterly absorbing chapter on the technique of flight. A series of pictures shows how a hummingbird is able to fly backward as well as forward! One warning: If you do buy this book to give away, better select an alternative gift at the same time, for you will be sorely tempted to keep this one for yourself!
