Heading for state PAUL CROCKETT
and NESTOR BUSTAMANTE
Thursday, November 17, the Miami High football team of '77 did what others hadn't been able to accomplish in ten years-they won the District 15 AAAA championship. Friday night, Nov. 25, they will go for one more victory.
By the time theN ov. 17 game against Jackson had arrived nobody quite knew what to expect. Except, perhaps, the coaches and !J!e team.
"lt's all a matter qf attitude/' said coach James Talbott. "We . coaches always knew the potential was there-we just had to get the team to take themselves seriously."
The first four games of the season led the fans to expect
, another "1-9" perf6lrmance. Morale among the players was low, but the coaches had hope. "We tried to make the team realize that if they play the way they could they would win."
The teams first unexpected victory came against a favored Coral Park. People were surprised originally, but nodded in recognition when the team lost the next game to the Edison Red Radiers, one of the worst teams in the county.
Our turning point was Miami Beach said Talbot.
After a 14-7 victory against Northwestern, people began to no longer consider the team either "improbable'' or "cinderella" but as an opponent to be taken seriously. The team was well prepared. "We'd kept telling the players they could do it if they tried. After we won that one, I think they believed it." Or, as one member of the team expressed it, "there's no stopping us. We're fired up."
"There's one thing you gotta stress," said coach Ken White. "We're for real." After the Miami Beach and Miami Springs victory, the Herald called Miami High the "Cinderella team." By that time, however, the team was beginning to believe what the coaches were telling them.
A crowd of 7,500 attended the homecoming game last Thursday at the Orange Bowl. "People were telling us that Jackson was favored, but victory was what we'd been· striving for. We'd already tasted a piece of the pie, and we wanted more."
"The reason for our success is simple," continued White. "We've all gotten together as a team. Each game it see.ins we've gotten better and better, and we have. All of the teams, even the stars, are giving 100 per cent at
the practices. "We got tired ·of everybody
waiting around for basketball season," said White. "We took a look at the schedule and said 'we can keep on going.' When we won, it surprised a lot of people, but it wasn't a surprise to us."
Two representatives, Dade and Broward, will play the champions of ·Florida's northern district, according to White. Friday's game, to be held in the Orange Bowl, is the first berth in the state play-offs.
The team is going into the game with optimism. "That's why we're winning," concluded White. "They're fighting until the last minute ... there's no end in sight."

After a seemingly endless three months of preparation, homecoming 77 became a reality. All events were related to the theme, "A look at the past."

New director leads band
As part of the homecoming celebration, several events were planned. Starting with the election of the homecoming court on Nov. 14, the festivities began.Twelfth grade English classes elected five girls: Ibis Alvarez, Lourdes Artola, Mirtha Gomez, Marlene Masud, and Cuchi Rivera.
Before the parade, which was held at 12:15 the day of the game, several events were judged. Among these were the Bulletin Board contest, the "Mr. Legs" contest, the "Mr. and Mrs. celebrity look-alike" contest, and the classroom-hall decorating contest.
Each· of the contests was designed to raise school spirit and interest in homecoming. Mr. Legs, Carlos Mora, was elected by the student body. Pictures of the competing legs were put on display in the main hall. Students showed their preference by dropping a penny into a jar numbered according to the pictures.

and plans for the band, Ms. Butler commented, "I'm hoping, first of all, to increase the size of the band and I'd also like to see more band-related courses initiated into the curriculum.
About the annual marching band contest, Ms. Butler explained that though the band had previously planned to go to Sp~in, that trip had to be cancelled because of the change in directors. Now, the band is planning to go to Arlington, Texas.
"I have never been in this particular kind of a contest. Always before, we had competed for trophies, so I'm not used to a 'marching band' contest." ·
"Basically, right now, we're just trying to keep going," concluded Ms. Butler, "improving whatever we can, wherever we can."
Ms. Butler, a graduate of the· University of Northern Iowa, and, an Iowa native, has been teaching in South Florida since 1973.

'Voice ojthe Times'
Caputa professional 'in a thankless job' Lewis Caputa, the newest face among Miami High's top
administrators, is fast making a name for himself among our faculty. While he may not be "the best thing that ever happened to Miami High," as one enthusiastic teacher claims, in the words of another, "a lot of teachers appreciate what he is doing."
~' ~ ··. ·, Jel!<;he~s com~ending the use of the detention hall · "Si:COiiCepfexplain that "if students don't improve {their
behavior) they are used to someone who doesn't follow through." They enjoy the fact that somebody is following up the tardies, and note that there has been "tremendous improvement" leading to "hardlyany tardies."
Caputa was praised for being "fair and competent" and "doing an excellent job" by one English teacher, saying that she appreciated · his efforts, since she saw a "noted improvement" in tardies because of following up, and was impressed by his competence. She-also noted, however, that he is hampered by a lack of personnel and that he needs a larger staff. .
Another English teacher agreed, saying that he "needs more help and deserves it," being very professional, "in a thankless job." Caputa acknowledges that· his is an unpopular position, but has found it "a not unpleasant experience in a job no one enjoys." One pleasant surprise for him was that he found the students more mature than those at other schools he had worked at, and that, as a result, "teachers deal with them in a more grown-up way."
An example, says the new assistant principal, for discipline, is that students caught skipping usually admit that "I was wrong, I'll take my medicine." He becomes severe, "lowering the boom" he says, with those who talk back and try to brazen their way out. We are sure that he will not carry this into refusing to listen to the students' side, and congratulate him on his successful, no-nonsense approach to discipline.

Satisfies sadist in us
We need football FRANK CASTANEIRA ~n a large crowd turns
out to see 22 human beings battle and tear each other apart for no special reason, sigils of sadism are evident. This might point to a natural yearning for violence, even though we often hate to admit it. '
On this 40 by I 00 yard battlefield, detente cannot begin until the end of the game. This live mini-war thrills and excites the audience. We live in a society where conflict is a basic need.
Should it be legal for blood thirsty young men to battle each other to see who gets the biggest bruises? Is this not the same as a gang fight?
The main objective of
football is to score the greatest number of points within a limited amount .of time. However, when a coach says, "let's go out there and k:ill them!", does he mean what he s_ays, or does he merely mean "go out there and beat them?"
Watching football, be it high school, college, or professional, has become a way of life for nearly every American. This game gives the viewers pleasure and many of their emotions are influenced by it.
Football has been around for almost a century. Many compare it with the gladiators of ancient Rome and the games at the Coliseum.
Is there a great necessity for this violent game? If football,
or any other sport for 1 matter, should be abolisl what would replace this forr entertainment? Maybe would resort to crime in_ OJ

Beware 'misguidance' influence PAUL CROCKETT
When a student arranges an appointment with a counselor to discuss college possibilities, what should the student expect?
Certain counselors have repeatedly·proven their interest in students and their jobs. These are well known, and lend credence to the title
·"counselor." There are others, though, who should more appropriately be called "confusors." ·
These "confusors", unfortunately, are inevitably put in positions to · authoritatively confuse students. A . case in point: one counselor, speaking before an English class, recommended that a student apply for transfer to
Homecoming for everyone Regretably, the Home
coming celebration seems to be degenerating from an event for the entire school into an exclusive affair for·
club members. That this is fast becoming
the underlying philosophy for Homecoming was spotlighted when that last
N orthwestem. (?) This is just one gem of
"confusor" logic, but all too many grievances against the same counselors ean be heard at any time. Perhaps after hearing the same complaints about certain guidance personel repeatedly, some of them can be taken as valid.
This is not a condemn the entire guidance department. .
Mendiola contest, the
homeroom room decorations, were eliminated, and only· added on later when several teachers began decorating.
On the whole, any services are provided for interested students. It's unfortunate, however, that· many of these services can be counterproductive when given by certain confused counselors.
The guidance department has tremendous responsibility. A one hour session with a counselor could serve to aid a student in choosing the course of his life. A counselor's influence cannot be underrated.
This is the reason there should be no such confused counselors. Procedure within the guidance department should be oriented toward perfection. This ~'perfection" is not an impossible goal-some counselors would do well to see what wonders a little extra effort and interest is doing for the leading counselors.
It is unrealistic to expect a counselor to be available for individual student consultation all the time .. However, some counselors, upon request for an appointment, forget their function and continually offer excuses instead of assistance.
These excuses vary with the timy of year. "Come back next month, I'm busy with schedules" or "Gosh, sorry, but Columbus Day is next quin. Seasons rush, you understand ... " are old favorites.
It is unfair to judge the guidance department on the inefficiency of a few, especially since the department contains
some genuinely outstanding members. It must be remembered, though, that to any given . student one counselor means the Guidance Department.

Football team triumphs over Jacksor NEStOR BUSTAMANTE
AND WALTER VILLA
From cellar-dweller to spoiler to contender; that's what the Miami High football team has done with victories against Coral Park, Miami Beach and now Miami Springs.
Thanks to the new playoff format, a team can get off to a bad start and still make the playoff~ by beating the teams in their district.
Giving the team credit, after a heartbreaking loss to Edison, they came back for a 14-7 win over Springs.
A 31-yard touchdown pass with five seconds ieft wins game
It took a 31-yard touchdown pass from Gerald Bonilla to Albert Bryant with five seconds left in the game played at Hialeah Stadium.
The Stings started the victorious march when the Golden Hawks turned the ball over on downs after a fake punt on the M.H.S. 31.
Bonilla then connected with Martin Martinez for· 25 yards.
A personal foul was tacked on after the play, moving the ball down to the 27 with 26 seconds left. A running play· lost yardage but the T.D. pass sent M.H.S. fans into jubilation.
Springs scored first when defensive back Michael Wright intercepted a pass and ran 46 yards for the score.
Bonilla made up for it by firing a bomb to speedy Greg Wimberly that covered 51 yards and a touchdown to even the score.
M.H.S.'s defense produced its third shutout, by picking off three passes, two by Ralph Arza.
Northwestern Wimberly, whose main goal
at this time is to go to Ohio and play for the Bucceyes under Woody Hayes, got all of the attention during the game as he scored two touchdowns and intercepted a pass late in the fourth quarter.
The victory gave head coach Barry Lischnet his winningest season since coming to Miami High from Palmetto and gave the Stings a chance to win the district 15AAAA championship.
The first touchdown was set
up when Miami cornerback Aaron Alvin recovered a Northwestern fumble at the Bulls 30 yardline. After marching to the four yard line two successive up the middle running plays failed.
Quarterback Gerald Bonilla then called a reverse handing the ball off to Wimberly who outran defenders to the.corner of the endzone for a 6.{) lead. The extra point attempt by kicker Jorge Blanco failed.
In the second quarter Bonilla zipped a swing pass to Wimberly who after breakin~ two tackles ran 42 yards for the touchdown. Bonilla then hil Winberly again coming ove1 the middle for the two poin1
Soccer team-loyalty, togetherness WALTER VILLA
Although neither Miami High soccer coach Marcus Moran nor his players are making brash predictions or guarantees about the upcoming season, this doesn't mean the team won't be successful.
"The only thing we are promising is that we will play every game 100 per cent starting with the Palmetto game on Dec. 2," said Fernandez, one of Dade's top net minders last year.
If this sounds like a cautious or perhaps guarded statement, that's because this team believes it's talent will do the

talking for them. It is a team high on togetherness· and low on cockiness.
Maybe a more accurate explanation would be the coach himself, Moran, in his fourth year at the helm, has several of his former players, (Jose Junco, _ Jose Brizo, Manuel Palmero, to name just three) in college.
The players have tremendous loyalty to their coach and that is one reason for their .~uccess.
A story that best exemplifies Moran's compassion was told by Pete Mendiola. "At the halfway mark of our first . practice, he said that if anyone
felt too tired to continue · he could just rest and take it easy," Mendiola said, seemingly in disbelief.
Don't get the wrong impression. Moran is not 'easy' on his players. They practice extremely hard. It's just that there is mutual respect between player and coach.''
When 33 hooters showed up at the initial practice, the large number was explained by the team's winning records in the past. People love to play for a winner. Perhaps, too, the s-occer boom in this country with Pele - and the whole bit -has had an influence on the new arrivals.
Nelson Fernandez spoke for seniors Eusebio Lopez, Vicente Cue, Marco Burgos, Ocier Morales, Jorge Bermudez, Carlos Alfaro, Mario Cobiella, and Jose Perez when he said, "We are grateful for the close relationship we've had. Any success we have attained has been because of his help."
Although Palmetto, Coral Park, Southridge and the always tough Coral Gables teams are among the top contenders, the Stings figure to be plenty tough.
"Our forwardline is all new except for Mario Cobiella, but the defense is strong," said Moran .
"We are grateful for the clo relationship we've had. Al success we have attained h been because of his ( coa, Marcus Moran) belp."

Body builders,· clumsy, slow yet concentration plays major role _
For years there have been a great many misconceptions about bodybuilding and bodybuilders.
It's been said that bodybuilders are clumsy, slow, uncoordinated and eventually become muscle-bound. Meanwhile, however, some of the top bodybuilders have become top athletes in· just about every major sport.
Mike Katz, one of the world's better known bodybuilders, has played football for the Oakland Raiders and the New York Jets. Mr. Universe, Lou Farrigno .. has signed a contract to play Canadian Football for a few

Body b.uilding is far more scientific than many people think.
Bodybuilding is far more scientific than many people think - success in bodybuilding goes hand in hand with common sense. This means that training with reasonable amounts of weights, intelligent
rest, and.nutritional habits will help achieve success in bodybuilding. ·
The benefits of proper diet and nutrition go well beyond bodybuilding - they also play a very important role in our general health and well-being. During training,· the importance of good nutrition can be seen for that extra incentive derived from your diet might motivate you to do an extra lift, or an extra set. All of these are often beneficial in the long run.

The Stings with runners Brian Sloan and Albert Bryant . ran off the remaining seconds.
Jackson Some people called it Miami
High's greatest triumph ever. And indeed, it overshadowed the 17-0 win over Gables two years ago, because this game was for the district champion-ship. .
The Stings had many heroes in the 3-0 victory over Jackson, including kicker Jorge Blanco who split the uprights from 26 yards out. It was Blanco's first three pointer of the year after missing his first nine.
A homecoming crowd of about 6,500 came to the Orange Bowl and witnessed a defensive struggle. Brian Sloan penetrated Jackson's top ranked defensefor 135 yatds on 27 carries. His running mate, Albert Bryant, also ran well behind a line that was opening gigantic holes.
Yet. the Stings squandered
first half opportunities. Blanco just missed on two field goals, quarterback Gerald Bonilla was a little long on a bomb" to Bryant .and Greg Wimberly came up empty on a gallant try Of a pass near the Generals goal line.
Wimberly, Dade County's second leading. receiver, was heavily covered all night. Jackson's 1,000 yard rusher Kelly Burney, received just as much attention. The 5-9 !80 pound senior gained 103 yards on 22 carries.
But the Stings stingy 'D' produced · another shutout. Ernie Barrios reCovered a fumbled punt and that was the break that MHS needed to get Blanco in position for another try.
MHS dominated play, wearing out the General defense. They played nearly perfect; making just one turnover and four penalties, compared to Jackson's four turnovers and seven penalties.
The game went by quickly because few passes were attempted. Miami High passed six times, completing one for 23 yards. The Generals also threw six times, connecting twic;e, but had two intercepted.
Jackson passed midfield only once, but they almost pulled the game out with their last drive. After recovering a
fumble in their own terntory, they ran the ball down to the 14 with 54 seconds left.
A penalty set Jackson back to the 19 and Burney tried an option pass. The receiver was apparently open but Dwayne Frazier came out of nowhere to intercept his second pass ofthe night. Frazier saved a touchdown and preserved the win.
With MRS's first playoff game in 12 years to be played Friday,. November 25, the Stings deserve credit.
Especially deserving is head coach Barry Lischner, whose
. team has won five of it's last six. Lischner was often booed at
pep rallies and many people said he should resign. But through it ·all he has perservered and for this, our congratulations. It is a tremendous gift for MHS students, especially the seniors ..
The Stings have finally defeated Jackson after enduring defeats in baseball and basketball the last few years. The reason for the win is confidence, according to assistant coach Kenneth White.
"The boys just now started believing .in themselves. We didn't take our first four games seriously, but when the district play began agai""st Coral-Park we played like we know we can," said White.
Penalties hurt-J.V. still wins Inspired by Coach Roger
Mosure's pregame speecht Miami High ended it's finest J.V. season in at least a decade on a winning note. The 8-6 victory over Miami Beach gave the Baby Stings a sensational 5-1 record.
Mosure attempted to fire up his players by telling them how much he hated Beach.
"I hate everything about them," he said. "I want to 'win this game and I want to win it bad. It would be very demoralizing to walk off this field a loser. Let's go out a winner," he concluded.
MHS got off to a sluggish start. The Hi-Tides ran back
the opening kickoff all the way to the one. They scored on the next play but missed the conversion.
Trailing 6-0, the Stings recovered a fumble at the Beach 20. Quarterback Richard Bonilla then hit his tight end for a first down at the II.
Bruising fullback Tony Aaronpatziz then broke a few tackles and ran over a few more for a touchdown.
But an old problem hit MHS. - PENALTIES. This particular infraction set them back to the 21 yard line.
One of the longest 20. yard drives ever was finally stalled

HEROES NESTOR BUSTAMANTE Henry (the Fonz) Winkler's
star shot into the stratosphere when he began his television career on "Happy Day." He's now trying to repeat his remarkable success in motion pictures with his newly released film "Heroes."
Co-starring with Winkler ;, Sally Fields, who has turned around her old "Gidget" and "FlyingNun" image to become one of Hollywood's most popular and best appreciated actresses. Also starring is Harrison Ford, who is still recelVlng plaudits for his performance in the blockbuster hit "Star Wars."
"Heroes," is a serio-comic love story of a Vietnam veteran named Jack Dunne (played by Winkler).
He manages to escape the Veterans Hospital, where he had been put forfouryears after his discharge from the army, by climbing over cars and running through the back alleys of New York City, eluding the authorities.
Jack is determined to get to Eureka, California where he
"The Fonz is only one character"
hopes to start a worm farm with his old war buddies, using $1,000 contributed to him by his fellow patients as capital.
T)le real Winkler never did go to Vietnam but he probably wouldn't have gone voluntarily anyway.
"No, I was never· drafted because there is either a God in heaven or somebody screwed it up at the induction center. But I think if I had been drafted I .
would have been fighting the war from Canada," Winkler said in a recent press conference Omni Hotel. ·
"It isn't that I don't believe in defending my country," said Winkler, "but not in a war which we didn't belong in."
Winkler said he has received many job offers, but not that many of them have good scripts, like "Heroes."
One of his main reasons for doing "Heroes" and his next motion picture "The One, The Only," soon to be released by Universal Pictures, is that he wants to expand his knowledge of acting, which according to him is his only love.
"The F onz is only one character and I've got to grow. I want to keep on doing what I'm doing until they put me in a box. You know, I'd like to b'e around until I'm fertilizer!" Winkler said.
"Films require that you know your stuff in order to fill the screen and hold people's attention. TV is confined to a small space. So many of the actor's activities are lost in television because· of its size, while with movies you have a vast physical canvas in which you can accentuate details," Winkler said.
"It ws always my dream to be a movie star. Television makes you 10 inches tall while a movie screen makes you 10 feet high. I know what love is because it is my work," Winkler confesses.
At any rate "Heroes'', he says, is a "tender and romantic . story, an uplifting story.! think people will really respond to my role and the movie."
According to director Jeremy Paul Kagan, consi11ered one of the brightest and most talented of the young ·directors, "Heroes" is absolutely not a war movie. "Rather, _it's a movie about a
Heroes: "An uplifting story of growth"
man who has been deeply affected by the war, and about the people with whom he interacts.'"
''The film is, in every sense, an uplifting story of growth, both personal and private. It is also, basically and most importantly, a poignant love story," Kogan said.
Fields adds, "the story shows what it is like to fight human battles. In fact, I think that's the meaning behind the title, 'Heroes.' "
The film does have one big advantage - that being that it is the first in a long line of Vietnam war movies which will soon flood the nation's theaters.
Teen dances move from gyms to discos
DANA CHESSER Remember the good old days
when a teenager's idea of a fun night was goil)g to the movies, watching a good football game, or attending a dance in the school gym?
So much for the good old days and school dances - now Miami teenagers have started a new craze and don't spend their Saturday nights at the movies anymore.
In an era when attitudes and. fads are fast changing, so are the ways to pass the time. South Florida teens have founded their trend, If you notice the lack of attendance at football or basket ball games and are beginning to wonder where everybody is all the time, your best bet is to look inside some of the popular Mianti and Fort Lauderdale discotheques.
Some of the favorite local places to hang out are as follows: Carmen's, Mr. Pips, Pete and Lenny's in Fort Lauderdale; the 747 Lounge
and the Rhodes Brothers at the Merchandise Mart in Mianti, and The Limelight in Hollywood.
In any of these places you can find a great number of young people. In fact, even though the age limit is 18, it is the teens (under 18) who keep discos in business. It has been determined that at least 50 per cent of the people who patmnize the places are for a fact under 18, and mostly a high school crowd.
Of course, some of the older generation wonder. "What on earth do young kids these days see in all this? Why don't they go to football games and school dances any more?" For one, you really can't compare a gymnasium with a discotheque. Where can you find a gym that comes equipped with a lit up dance floor, two bars, a band, and a D.J.?
However, everything has ups and downs and all disco-
theques have their share. The main problem teenagers experience is getting in. Some places don't enforce the law prohibiting minors too strongly, but other stricter establishments some times require as many as three forms of identification and if you don't look of age, sometimes all those won't even help you. This is no rare problem,and teens solve it easily by borrowing identification from an older sister, brother, a friend. A voter's registration is the most commonly found borrowed piece of l.D. used by ntinors.
This might be just a passing fad with young people as were many others in the past, but in cities such as Miami it almost seems a lifestyle for teenagers. It could be that perhaps ina few years this "Disco" trend will be past history like the other crazes of the century, but for right now it's here, and making it big.
Unfortunately for Winkler, that will not be enough to make it a success. Both he and his counterpart Fields did excellent acting jobs worthy of great praise. But the script is
one thing which will sl from being a hit. For the part it is boring. Except very exciting · and dra ending, the film is ion; dragged out.

Virgins taken for ride LIZ LLORENTE
Have you ever ridden in a "Virgin bus?"
That is the name given to the yellow buses that wait for those
: ' of us who cannot get a Cl)r ride · to, or from, school, and refuse
to wait for a public bus. These "virgin buses" usually transport senior high, junior high, and grammar school students,
Some people are among the unfortunate few that are first to be picked up in the morning on
· · the way to school. This means ·getting on the bus at
> approximately 6 a.m., and riding around for an hour or so
': (while waiting for everyone else
to· get picked up) before you reach your school. However, taking these buses does eliminate the hassle of rushing to the bus stop across the street, finding out you've just missed your bus, and waiting for the next one while you melt in the heat.
Riding in these buses may even be an "adventure." Some of the bus drivers seem to be frustrated jockeys. They handle the bus like they would a race horse. If this isn't the case, then they must be rehearsing for the Indianapolis 500. One senior says, "I use to come to school in a 'virgin bus' until one day my
driver repeatedly hit a parked car. The car moved in the street and was practically plastered against the sidewalk. When J finally reached my house safeand sound, I decided never to go on a 'virgin bus' again."
Nevertheless, many drivers have made a rather successful business with these buses, and students continue to faithfully ride in them, paying more than twice the price of a regular bus-which is 15 cents for students. "Virgin buses" seem to offer a strange kind of security to its passengers. But then again, as one girl says, "You may save your virginity, but not your life!"
FM vs. AM: is one really better? Photo
Between 6:30 and 7 and 12 and 12:30 the front of the school is crowded with "Virgin Buses" vying for position.

"Sound is the main factor when comparing the two (AM
·and FM)," according to Quincy McCoy, music director and disc jockey for the Y -I 00 radio station. "FM is just like playing a good record, and AM is like playing a dirty one with dust, static and just pure noise."
Previously, AM was the leader. This came about because FM stations were sca_rc:~_. and tl:le __ radios that
---~ pTayed them were expensive. "Stereo is another factor to
consider," stated McCoy. "AM was just not made for stereo. AM stations have been trying to come out with stereo, but problems don't let them."
Prizes are another difference between the two bands. The quality and quantity of the prizes is definitely dominated by the FM stations.
The money for these prizes
comes from advertising. The cost for a commercial depends on the station's ranking among it's competitors.
"Stereo is another factor to consider"
-Quincy McCoy
McCoy said that an AM station like WQAM charges about 25 dollars p·er commercial minute during
prime time, while compared to lf&mmmmmmwimmmmliiooim;miirJII!Iaannmmmmmm~ a higher ranked FM station Y- G · tt t t if •t ll 100 sells the same commercial aze e: s ar 0 l a for an easy 55 dollars -per minute.
Y -100 has given close to a million dollars in cash and prizes during the four years they've been on the air.
"It's possible for Y-100 to give so many prizes and yet charge so little because we set up a budget at the beginning of every yeaf. From there we calculate how much we can give away that year." McCoy also said that some of the prizes are provided by their advertisers.
"FM is taking over," he continued. "AM just doesn't . compete with FM anymore."
Radio stations, both AM and FM, are granted a license by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the period of one year. This license is subject to suspension if not used properly.

Two hundred years have gone by since the first school newspaper was published. The Students Gazette, which was founded at the Public Latin School in Philadelphia, was a four-page publication handwritten by S.M. Fox,
. student. Measuring 4" by 5t.;", the first issue was dated June II, 1777. Upon locating the newspaper, it had to be removed from the cardboard on which it was mounted, then shipped to New York City, where it was put on display.
At the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) Convention, each person attending received a reproduction of the paper. The conVention was held to "salute the. Scholastic Journalism Bicentennial Celebration."
Using Fox's writing style in an English class today would undoubtedly result in a failing grade. Here are the words as they were written in Fox's first issue explaining the purpose of his publication:
"To the kind Encourages of the Paper; Gentlemen; The great W oint of the Weekly News Paper & the Encouragement they
formerly met with from you has induced me to publish the Students Gazette. Regardless of the Trouble I have had in procuring Peices from the Learned I still persist in My Design & hope that the Subscribers as well as others will do every Thing to forward to useful! an Institution ... "
Joseph M. Murphy, director of the CSP A, was the first to bring the Students Gazette to attention by running an article about it, written by Russell Hogeland, in The School Press Review.
Hogeland's article mentions that the copies were written in long hand, probably by Fox or an assistant. Value was expressed in "sheets of paper."
At the time, Fox must have had little of no idea of the importance of his work. But his efforts paved the way for future student journalists and school newspapers.

Repairs close auditorium for 'the season' "I -doubt seriously if we'll get
into tbe auditorium this year," predicted Curtis M. Knowles, Miami High's principal, although the School Board has reviewed plans to replace the
ceiling, roof, and chairs of the condemned room.
Knowles explained that the delay came from the different agencies of the school system tbat had to act before repairs
could begin. The engineer must first come to inspect tbe building, and his report is sent to the Building Committee, which must approve any work done on school buildings.
Repairs on the roof of the auditorium will take at least a year.
Students see 'inside view' of courtroom procedure
Searching through-the maze of problems involving the law is the task. Finding out the answers is the purpose of these involved in the court observer program.
A 45 minute classroom situation in the Dade County Court House is the setting for those who think that law may be t)leir future career.
"It gives you an insight into the judiciary system," Dan Rocawich, court observer
member, said. "You're in a classroom
situation in the courthouse learning the vocabulary of the Ia w, and then they send you to a specific courtroom ·division. The instructor will also inform you of any important cases going on," Rocawich said.
Participants in the progam have been able to watch some of the most important and controversial trials in the Miami area, most recently the
case of Ronald Zamora.
"If you receive a grade of A · or B you can begin to work as a court aide, judge's aid, public defender's aide or state attorney's aide," Rocawich said.
Anyone who is willing to get involved in tbe behind the scenes look at law and at the same time get a social studies credit should see Tom Dunthorn, history teacher.
Homecoming court, Miahi Hall of fame announced You are probably already
aware of Miahi's Hall of Fame and the Student Council's Calendar Court, but it's possible t!tat you're not informed on procedure involved in obtaining these honors.
The Hall of Fame is a method that the Miahi uses to award outstanding seniors. The selection of these seniors is done by a committee of teachers. The teachers look for the student's contribution and participation in community and schoo-l activities. This includes clubs, hobbies, and interests.
The committee selects ten boys and ten girls from all the applicants. These student$ are recognized in a specia]part of the Miahi.
The other mentioned honor is the Calendar Court. The court contains 13 girls and 13 boys. The reason for this is that there's one King and one Queen; the other 12couplesare used for the months ofthe year.
The procedure involved in the election of tbese students is as follows: NOMINATION. The ·student can be noniinated by anyone,
but usually the nomination comes from a club the student is in. VOTING. Ballots were sent to homeroom classes and students were allowed to vote for as many as 12 candidates from eaen sex. COUNTING THE BAL-
LOTS. Since the calendar is a student council project, they are in charge of counting the ballots. However, many disagree with this procedure.
"A lot ofthe candidates that were running counted the ballots, said one student.

Once this approval is given, the system's architect's office draws up a design. This is the stage the auditorium plans have reached. Mter leaving the architect, the School Board must select a contractor from among those who are bidding for the job, and fmally approve the completed plan. Only then can repairs begin.
The plans will be designed, Knowles hopes, to preserve as much of the original appe;uance of the auditorium as is _possible, subject to current building codes. As an example, asbestos was used as fireproofing in· the original construction, but has since been found to cause cancer, and has been banned by federal
regulations. Among the newer items t
will be removed during renovation are the flouresc lights that were put in television classes that w taught in the auditorium bef, the ten-period day began. 1 chandeliers will be kept a their lighting increased, wl the acoustic sheeting instal when the building was ' conditioned will be remove•
