Tom Bare Is 'Most Valuable' At Southwest

By LAURA HENRY Senior Tom Bare has been named as the most valuable player by Head Coach Joseph McNulty. Tom served the first part of the season as second string quarterback, but got his real break when first string center Walter Carr was temporarily lost from the team. Tom, who had played center during his 'B' squad days, was called upon to help strengthen the center of the line. He did an admirable job for that game and for the rest of the season. A pep club is now in the process of being organized at Southwest in order to give more support to the athletic teams. Any student may participate who observes the rules of the club. The float made by the senior class received a first place award in the annual Homecoming Parade which took place in parts of the Coral Gables and South Miami business districts, Nov. 21. The float entered by the Boosters Club came in a close second in the judging.

Sylvania Heights Pupils Help Friends With English

By RAYMOND LANG When there's a will, there's a way. And it's being proven at Sylvania Heights Elementary School. About a dozen Latin American children, most of whose parents have come here from Cuba in recent months, have a powerful will to master English in this new land. The school has found the way. Two ways, that is. One. Each Latin American child spends an hour each day in an English class especially conducted for him. Not Isolated Second. The newcomers are not isolated from the regular classes, but "absorbed" into them. "Their progress is just amazing," said acting principal Vivien Cleveland, "and they're just so eager to learn. "They've been absorbed into the regular classrooms and they're learning English so fast," she enthusiastically repeated. "They're now even able to speak simple sentences in English. And their parents are so appreciative of our efforts to absorb them into the regular class rooms." But Sylvania Heights, at 5901 SW 16th St., is asking the Latin American youngsters to make an effort above and beyond gleaning English from textbooks. "We're asking them to speak English as much as possible outside of school," continued Mrs. Cleveland, "and to find a friend to converse with." Just Delighted! How do the English-speaking children feel toward their new neighbors? Just delighted! "You know how these children are," said Mrs. Cleveland, referring to the Spanish youngsters, "so vivacious and full of energy." Packed into her words was the feeling that you could not help but be delighted with the Latin American small fry. "There's a set of twins," the principal went on, "they are just beautiful . . . Oh, they're just beautiful. "They have such a warm sense of humor . . . and the children just love them." Out at Sylvania Heights, "Bienvenido" is more than just "welcome." It means "You're now one of us."
