Building History Is Made At Christopher Columbus

By PAT GLEASON HI 4-5043 A progressive step in modern architectural design was taken last Wednesday in the building of the altogether new gymnasium at Christopher Columbus High School. The foundation and walls are already constructed. On Wednesday 12 massive concrete and steel beams, each 111 feet long and tipping the scales at almost 30 tons, were hoisted aloft to serve as the roof of the new gym. The huge beams were lifted 25 feet to the top of the building by cranes working simultaneously at each end. The project, undertaken by South-eastern & Associates Construction Co., was designed to be a first both economically and historically. This type of construction is not only stronger than the conventional roof but also much more inexpensive. By choosing this design, Christopher Columbus High School will save approximately $30,000, a sum which would be used to construct the customary roof. It is believed that these beams are the largest ever to be used in construction in South Florida. The opening ribbons of the new gymnasium will be cut sometime around Dec. 15. Test Day Monday was test day around Christopher Columbus High School. Dayton Tests, probably well known to other high schools in the area, were given to all students commencing at 8:30 in the morning and lasting the whole day through. 'Oh's, ah's and ugh's' echoed through the halls and the air filled with electrified charges as the grey matter marked and scored. These examinations, sponsored by the University of Dayton, Ohio, were given to test the IQ of an individual by subjecting the student to questions on short paragraphs mainly concerning the fields of mathematics and English. However, this purpose was greatly disputed by students after the tests were completed. The Columbus "Explorers" rolled to a grand finish of their football year by defeating the before "undefeatables" of the Southern Division of the Gold Coast Conference, South Dade, to the tune of 14-7. Sophomore David Hiss, 190 pounds, provided the wind for the Explorer's sails and smashed through the South Dade line, gaining 90 yards rushing and an extra 87 on passes. Also, star quarterback Jack Ellison put the Explorers in the air as he completed 11 passes for 153 yards and carried for 46 more. Team Out-Played The South Dade team was completely out-played, the Explorers victoriously ending the game with 17 first downs, 135 yards rushing and 153 passing. This final game closed the record of Columbus at 3-6-1, which by the way, included two one point losses to Curley and Southwest.

Cotton porduction in Florida for 1960 increased over the year before. Estimated harvest is 15,500 bales—2,000 more than 1959.

New Lutheran Church To Serve South Dade

Missouri Synod Lutherans in the South Miami-Kendall area will build a new church in the near future to meet the growth of the South Dade area. Construction of two units of a planned four-unit cloister will get under way at once, the Rev. Carl T. Geist, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church, Kendall, said. Ground dedication ceremonies will be Sunday, Dec. 11, at 3 p.m., on the church site, SW 124th St. and 87th Ave. The initial project, costing $78,000, includes a parish hall, which will be used as a temporary church, and a kindergarten. Future Plans Future plans include a church sanctuary and Sunday school on the nearly five acre tract. The parish hall will include 24 pews, each seating 10 persons, giving an overall capacity of 240. It will be 38 feet high, 42 feet wide and have a roof 80 feet long, including an eight-foot overhang. The building will have no side walls. At the back of the altar, dominating the north end of the interior, will be a 38-foot high cross, having a three-dimensional effect. As a backdrop, cypress and plastic alternating panels will be used. Both ends of the building will have unpolished gray plate glass to diffuse the sunlight. Also included in the building will be the pastor's study, organ room and "cry room." A 50-car parking lot will be to the west of the parish hall and a recreation area adjacent to the lot. The kindergarten will house the present Sunday school and a planned nursery school. In addition, the building will have a storage room, utility kitchen and lavatories. Howard A. Crouse is contractor for the project. R. William Clayton Jr., is architect. Construction of the units will mark the culmination of three years planning by the Concordia congregation. Since planning began, two other congregations have emerged from the Concordia mission—Mt. Olive at Perrine and St. Paul's in the Westwood Lake area. Mt. Olive dedicated its new church facilities more than year ago. The Concordia congregation has been meeting in the Kendall Community house for the past three years.
