Our principal, Mr. Rath, has been associated with Coral Cables High since the year 1932. Back in those days, Gables was Ponce de Leon High. Gables is the giant which grew out of Ponce. In 1926, the first high school in Coral Gables was dedicated. We associate our own Mr. Rath with Ponce. He came six years after Ponce opened, and has re- mained ever since. Under Mr. Harry N. Rath's guiding hand, Ponce de Leon was moulded into a first class high school. With the growth of Coral Gables, the high school natural- ly had to expand. So fast did it grow, that in 1950 Ponce was moved to a new location at Bird and Le ,leune roads. As the new school went up it was known as uMr. Rathis Dream Housef' Thus, Coral Gables Senior High School came into existence. Mr. Rath remained as princi- pal. Today, Gables is much more than any- one could have foreseen. lts 2,430 stu- dents and 110 instructors make up an educational giant. TIME and NEWS- WEEK magazines this year listed the schools that are the top 38 secondary schools in the nation. Gables was on that list. ln fact, it was the only school in Florida on that list. Gables is great in everything it undertakes. This is because Mr. Rath's greatness is reflected in the school. Mr. Rath is a Man of Distinction, and we are the School of Distinction. Coral Gables Senior High will con- tinue to have Mr. Harry N. Rath, and so Gables will continue to be great. Ca- bles and Mr. Rath: thatas a winning com- bination you just canit beat. 5

ADMINISTRATION HEADS ALWAYS BUSY 'Sr' DEAN LOUISE STEWART Our Dean of Girls, Mrs. Louise Stewart, and our Dean of Boys, Mr. Edward Cook, both have difficult jobs to perform. It is their duty to act as advisers to the students of our school. Both must know exactly when to be stern, and when to give some friendly advice. Wheri Mrs. Stewart is not seen rushing down one of our halls, she may generally be found behind her desk which is always heaped with much work demanding attention. Mrs. Town., Q5-Qtswset-S. DEAN EDWARD COOK Stewart must watch over the activities of all the girls in our school. That is some job! Mr. Cook's job gets him here early each morning, and forces him to remain at school until late each afternoon. He is very well liked by the boys with whom he deals. The Hopen doorw policy in our dean's offices is one of the reasons for our system's success. Both of our deans are ideally qualified for their positions. They constantly work for the betterment of Gables. Mrs. Agneta Heldt, registrar of Gables, has many varied duties. She registers all new students and transcribes their grades. She writes bulletins for teachers, arranges classes, and gets substitute teachers. Mrs. Heldt works closely with Mr. Rath and Mrs. Prance. Seen in a familiar pose at the telephone is our friendly registrar. Mrs. Heldt.
