Coral Gables High Is Top Knight Winner with 4 Firsts
By LESLIE GROSS Correspondent Gables High School walked away with four out of 12 Silver Knight awards given in Dade County. William Zame, Warren Kirsch, Joel Eaton and Leslie Gross received the scholastic Oscars at the awards presentation held at Dade County Auditorium last Thursday. The Silver Knight awards are given to the top student in each of 12 categories in Dade senior high schools. One hundred and nine nominees were up for the awards. Winners in each division received $200 and a silver knight trophy. Three runners-up in each category received $50. Gables High School had four winners. The next highest total was two, shared by Beach High and Miami High. Coral Gables also had three runners-up. They were Bruce Fischer in althetics, Maxine Master in foreign languages, and Richard Ginn in music. Bill Zame, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Zame, 914 Palermo, won in the field of mathematics. Bill has been first in Florida for two years in the National Match Contest, and has garnered numerous other scholastic honors. Warren Kirsch, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Kirsch, 2660 SW 12th St., won in the field of science. Warren is a Westinghouse Honors Group winner, won the school chemistry medal, is an NHS member and a musician and linguist. Joel Eaton, 17, son of Circuit Judge and Mrs. Joe O.

A football player and a scholar (eighth in his class), Joel plans a career in foreign service. Leslie Gross, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Gross, 6380 SW 62nd Ter., won in the category of general scholarship. A straight A student, Leslie has won awards in French, German, biology, spelling and English. Terry Engelking, a junior at Gables, recently placed first in editorial writing in state-wide competition. His editorial topped all others in the Florida Scholastic Press Association contest. The Gables' boys swimming team recently triumphed 74-19 over Hialeah. Mike Adamick was a double winner. Highlighting the meet was the near-record performance of our relay squad composed of Clein, Schultz, Caffee, and Magruder. Jeffrey Mark Platt and William R. Zame have been announced valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, of Gables 1961 graduating class. Jeffery, with a 4.89 scholastic average, outdistanced all competition.
