Gables High Notes Scholars Win More National Merit Acclaim

By LESLIE GROSS The National Merit Corporation last week announced the names of those students who did not quite qualify as semi-finalists, yet still scored in the 99th percentile. The following Coral Gables High School students received this recognition: Kenneth Allen, Bob Eckert, Jack Fretwell, Joyce Hanson, Judy Hasencamp, Bill Haverfield, Patricia Hughes, Katie Kamp, Leslie Klupt, Warren Kirsch, Thomas Palmer, Allen Peck, Susan Poppe, Marilyn Steele, Jaylen Tekiner, Nicholas Von Vonno. Alan Zame, a Gables graduate and the only Florida student to be accepted by the California Institute of Technology, received a further distinction. Allen, a junior, has received honor standing. Allan is currently fourth in his class. Eric Ormsby, a graduate of the class of '59, is majoring in the Humanities at Columbia University, taking such courses as Greek, Latin and French. Eric, with all A's and B's, ranks in the upper sixth of his class. Two other Gables graduates, Carol Woodard and Leslie Hancock, were recognized for ability in creative writing by having their themes published in Duke University's anthology of the 16 best freshmen themes. Miss Mott, Gables history instructor, was recognized recently as "Teacher of the Day" by a local radio station. Sophomore Class Elects The Sophomore Class of Gables High recently held its class elections. For the first time, students were given a chance to hear the various candidates speak in political rallies in the school amphitheater. These rallies were held after school after both the original nominations and primary elections. The officers for the following year are Bill Shanor, president; John Shea, vice president; Linda Stadler, secretary; Jeannie Crawford, treasurer. Mr. David Feldman, drama coach, has selected the cast for the Gables High Drama Department's presentation of the "The Crucible," a play by Arthur Miller, relating the story of the historic Salem witch trials. The following students are members of the cast: Sara Good, Mackie Zuckerman; Betty Parris, Sandy Burt; Elizabeth Proctor, Annette Treadway (understudy, Marsha Stoller); Ann Putnam, Linda Sanders; Rebecca Nurse, Marie Louie; Abigail Williams, Esther Hersch (understudy, Betsy Patrick); Tituba, Shelly Levy. Cavaliettes Tap New Members The Cavaliettes, Gables High's renowned girls' marching outfit, recently tapped new members. They are Roberta Beiler, Bebi Buice, Nancy Collins, Judy Downey, Carol Fletcher, Donna Gordon, Carol Haggland, Lee Hamilton, Carol Koberlein, Debbie Light, Florence Merritt, Ann Munro, Nona Powers, Donna Walton, Marshall Connally, Toni Guerrero, Valerie Camfield, Donna Criswell, Laurel Newbold, Pat Daniel, Sue Atteridge, Karen Jahnig, Donna Shaw, Wini Wallace, Dianne Sharman, Lois Stoker, Betsey Snodgrass and Jane Lane. The Gables chapter of Junior Red Cross, along with the chapters of many other Dade high schools, will send representatives to the annual Leadership Training Camp to be held in Naranja at Camp Owaissa-Bauer. Outstanding Red Cross personnel will supervise the program, which will be held the weekend of Oct. 21-23, catering to some 150 students. Leading the Gables Council of Junior Red Cross this year are: president, Joanne Frances; vice president, David Callahan; secretary-treasurer, Susan Kent, and chaplain, Barbara Swick. Sponsor of the Gables chapter is Mrs. Letitia Hinson, a math teacher. Quarterback Needs Help Loyal Gables High football fans have banded together to do somthing about our quarterback, Bruce Fischer. Bruce, in addition to calling the plays, intercepts passes and punts for a phenomenal average. Lettering in three sports - football, basketball, and baseball - he has little time to devote to his membership and/or offices in National Honor Society and National Athletic Scholarship Society; nor time for his two honor courses. The local press is now saddling our boy with what seems permanent possssion of the county's Back-of-the-Week responsibility. We loyal Gables football fans feel that Bruce has done his share by assuming the onus three weeks out of four. We would appreciate any volunteers to help out our unfortunate, overburdened athlete.

James Gray Top Scorer In Contest

A Southwest Miami High School senior made the highest score in Florida in the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying test and five of his classmates were named as semifinalists. Top scorer is James Gray, son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Holland, 9370 SW 51st St. Winning is not new to Gray, who has been working with science and mathematics for several years. As a sophomore he received first prize in the Southwest Science Fair in mathematics and honorable mention in the state. His winning project dealt with circles and polygons, reproving a theorem. During his junior year he made the highest score in school in the 11th Annual Mathematics contest. Jim scored in the 99 plus percentile on the standardized test given in trigonometry, solid geometry and Algebra II. He has made a straight A average while taking stiff courses in mathematics, science and languages during his high school career. Jim is president of the Southwest Chess Club, president of Mu Alpha Theta, mathematics honor society; vice president of Spanish National Honor Society and is a member of the National Honor Society. Last summer he built his own amplifier. Gray hopes to attend M.I.T.

Florida's first pulpmill began operation at Panama City in 1931. Ten now are in production in the state.
