Southwest High Finishes Up Odds & Ends

By JOY CHERRY Herald Correspondent The Lusters, a singing group consisting of four Southwest girls have recently cut two records, "Watching All the Raindrops," and "Yesterdays." These girls, Andrea Caimi, Sue Beckett, Peggy Shoop and Marie Alby have been singing on WINZ, at dances, at radio dances, and on Miami Beach. Their records will be distributed throughout the United States and played on local radio shows. Southwest senior Bob McDonald wrote the lyrics and music to both songs. Good looks and ability best describe next year's recently selected majorette corps, the Lancerettes. Althea Crawford was chosen as captain; Pat Daughtery, co-captain; and Lea Verne Hanley will appear as soloist. Others on the "A" corps are Joy Justice, Mary Bean, Arvinda McQueen, Cherly Rolfes, Lynn Pittman, Judy Bassett. "B" corps members are Harriet Wechter, Bunny Caudell Donna Cohen, Pat Hall, Joyce Grimm, Brenda Hanlin, Doris Lazarony, and Marge Safrit. The girls, elected after two weeks of tryouts, performed individually before Mr. Marvin Mockabee, Mrs. Jean Carlton, and the senior girls on this year's "A" corps. Showmanship, strutting and twirling ability, capacity to learn quickly, and general smoothness of performance were considered in the selection. College campuses are beckoning success-bound Southwest seniors while underclassmen are making big plans for the summer vacation. The University of Florida in Gainesville will open its doors to Brian Irvine, Don Hughes, Cathy Cartwright, Peggy McGill, and Pat Goff, Alexandra Cordes, Linda O'Block and Gray Kovach. Enjoying the moss-draped campus of Stetson University in DeLand will be Mary Bues, John Gerheim, Barbara DuBois, Aileen Herko and Elizabeth Kraemer. Bea Weaver will attend Duke University on a scholarship while dental hygiene study is the goal of Pat Ryan. Honor student Sherre Colvin plans to continue modeling this summer and further her study of fashion designing. Sherre has previously modeled for Jordan Marsh and Burdine's Department Stores. Bill Medlock will travel through Georgia and cruise to Nassau before the summer ends. He is now working at the Burger King but plans to enter Dade County Junior College this fall. Currently situated at the South Miami Hospital is Southwest graduate Bert Harris. Bert recently underwent surgery but is now enjoying a restful recovery. Regina Cox arrived at Stetson University June 20, where she will take part in the eight-week special summer program. Regina will study mainly math. If she makes high scores on tests she will take there, she will be able to continue studies there and skip her senior year.

God's Power

By NEIL WYRICK Palmetto Presbyterian Pastor How often are you what you ought to be when the only audience is God and yourself? How often are the timber of your thoughts such that they could be written across the roof of the sky without your feeling shame? How has this brief day been in your relationship to God, your fellowman, your hopes, and dreams; and would these relationships serve as guide-post for others to follow? Someone has said, "God expects us to bring to life a sort of splendid gallantry, to be prepared for the worst, but challenged to do our best." The impossible is Gods' bailiwick whether it is stopping a star in the sky or starting a human soul toward salvation from the worst of habits. So pray this short prayer, "God let me meet the challenge of life with thy hand in mine, thy power in my heart, thy guidance in my actions. God let me be each day more as thou would have me be."

Red Road Chapel Has 100 Members

A new Baptist congregation organized as a mission four years ago by the University Baptist Church, is now meeting in the Blue Lake Elementary School Building on Miller Rd., at SW 97th Ave. The Rev. Ernest Sikes has been appointed pastor, and the 100 members call their new church the Red Road Chapel.

Long-Range Solution Still To Come on CG Stadium

(Continued from page 1) in filling in the area fronting on Coral Way and spent $10,000, according to PBA officials. The PBA operation fizzled after a year and the Stadium Committee was formed and a corporation created to run the operation after the University of Miami indicated no interest. In September 1956, the city loaned the Committee $35,000 interest-free for bleachers and other improvements. The following year, the Committee negotiated a 30-year lease with William Singer for a Royal Castle on the northwest corner for $250 a month rent plus 3 percent of gross over $100,000. In return for the favor, Singer loaned the Committee $20,000, which was used for additional improvements. But financial troubles persisted. GABLES ELSEWHERE Southwest High School and Christopher Columbus High Schools played their home games there, but Coral Gables High preferred to play in the Orange Bowl for prestige. The small $250 rental charged for games plus concession profits failed to make the difference and the operation continued in the red. Finally the coup de gras was delivered when hurricane Donna hit last fall. Insured only for liability through a complicated arrangement with the City, the committee faced a $5,000 to $6,000 hurricane damage loss for lack of coverage and additional improvements totalling $8,000. The city, already contributing approximately $1,000 a year by keeping the grounds and having received only $1,000 on the $35,000 loan, could not cover the storm loss legally through the Special Benefit or Hurricane fund. This is where the Committee found itself when it went to the School Board and later Metro for help. Metro, when it adopted six percent utilities tax on Florida Power and Light Co. last year, indicated that the stadium was one of the things it could operate with the money. But the proposal fell through when it was decided the facility was inadequate for county plans.
