Triple Sessions At SW High

By RAYMOND LANG Correspondent Southwest Miami High—faced with a whopping enrollment of 3,000 students — will go into triple-session classes this year for the first time. With enrollment up 500 over last year, this means seniors will attend classes from 7:30-2:15; juniors 8:30-3:15; and sophomores 9:30-4:15. Triple-sessions are not all that will be new. All 10th and 11th grade English students will have their classroom instruction by television. Looking over these innovations to meet the five-year-old school's mushrooming enrollment, principal Dr. Lee Aber said he did not believe the triple-sessions would cause any major problems. But there are possibilities, he said. One, transportation. In past years, seniors, juniors and sophomores could drive to school together but now they must arrive at three different times. Two, "loaded" classes may be a problem next year with more than 30 students per class. CLASSES NOT INCREASED "This coming year, the classes have not been increased in size," said Dr. Aber. "If we grow as much next year as we did this year, we don't have place to put the students, except to load the classes. "That's the only possibility that I can see at the present time." With school letting out at three different times, there will have to be three separate faculty meetings, instead of one, for it will be impossible for teachers to meet at the same time, Dr. Aber said. Helping Dr. Aber meet the problems of increased enrollment will be Mrs. Helen Lephew and Alfred Pope, assistant principals for guidance and administration, respectively. Southwest Miami High opened in 1956 with grades 7-10. It added the 11th grade in 1957 and dropped grades 7-9 in 1958 and added the 12th.

One in a Million? You Are Fortunate

Who will be Metropolitan Miami's "Millionth Resident?" According to the Committee of One Million, it will be a new resident who moves here sometime between Sept. 1 and Oct. 19, and who, in a written contest, best convinces a panel of judges of his or her reasons for becoming a resident of the county. The winner of the contest will receive a free vacation for two to Nassau on the Bahama Star, free use of a Hertz Cadillac for one week, free groceries, plus many other gifts and prizes. The name of the winner will be announced Friday, Oct. 20. To enter the contest, a new resident of any age, who moves into the area between Sept. 1 and Oct. 19 should complete the following statement in 100 words or less: "I became a resident of Dade County because..." Those entering should submit name, address, age, occupation, where from, where employed, number and ages of persons in family and a picture of the family. All entries should be sent to the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, 345 NE Second Ave., and must be received by 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19. The "Committee of One Million," with all residents of Dade County serving as honorary members, is headed by an executive group made up of Miami City Manager M. L. Reese, Assistant County Manager Hoke Welch, Miami Publicity Director Lew Price, Miami Beach Publicity Consultant Hank Meyer and Fred Canel, executive director of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce. Everett Clay, public relations executive, is chairman. The millionth resident arrival time was estimated by a group of statisticians from the Chamber of Commerce, the Metro Planning Department and the U.S. Census Bureau. Exact time cannot be pinpointed but they have agreed that it will take place during this period.
