HOLD CAREER
CONFERENCE
Held At Smyrna High School
With Enthusiasm on Part
of Students
HELPFUL GUIDANCE

An analysis of the recent career
conference held at the Smyrna
High School by Miss Virgie Bauer,
guidance counselor showed that
the general reaction was one of
enthusiasm on the part Of stu
dents and faculty. Evaluation
forms were made out by fifteen
homeroom groups, grades seven
through twelve Immediately after
the sectional meetings were held.
The comments by the students,
part of the evaluation forms,
showed that many felt that career
conferences are very helpful in
guiding them to a choice of car
eer, and should be continued, and
even scheduled more frequently.
There were no negative comments
about the value of the conference
as a whole. The purpose of the
eysluation is to find out what
things were done well, so that the
good may be kept In future con-
ferences, and what the weak
points were. Evaluations were
made by students and will be
made also by both teachers and
the consultants who took part.
These will be tabulated and sum-
married for each career group.

Good Morning Judge
News from Miami's Municipal Precinct Court
JUDGE /. E. THOMAS. PRESIDING
ev ELLIOTT J. PIEze, Times staff Writer


IL. E. Thomas Municipal Court
Tuesday morning, when an amaz-
ing total of 121 cases was listed
for trial on the official docket OF
the day. The occasion may well
be called reunion day" in our
local court because it marked the
return of the Judge L. E. Thomas
from vacation and a large
number of "old regulars" who
are up for trial quite regularly,
were back again Tuesday.
Among the highlight cases of
the day was that of Annie Louise
Coakley of 344O Grand ave. in
Coconut Grove; Gladys Fields and
Martha McGahey, sister, of 6372
SW 59th place in South Miami.
Miss Coakley, Miss Fields and
Miss McGahey were each charged
with disorderly conduct by fight
ing. 1t was a case of the two sis
terS against Miss Coakley.
The incident occurred Friday
night at the corner of Grand ave.
and Hibiscus st. Miss Coakley
told the court that she and two
other girls wanted to go out for
a while Friday night, but that the
mother of one of the girls would
not permit them. AS a means of
inducing the mother the girls
offered her 35 cents. At that mo-
ment, Miss Fields came out of
a nearby bar, got into the con-
verSation without being invited
and made a disparaging remark
about Miss Coakley. An argument
soon arose between the two which
was followed by fistic combat.
During the fracas, Miss Fields
sister came out of the same bar
and jumped into the fight on her
sisters side. Miss Coakley also
told the court that Miss McGahey
struck her across the face with
an umbrella and that Miss Fields,
pulled a knife on her and threat
ened to cut her. The police were
called, and after a short while
the three women were on their
way to the precinct.
In her defense Miss Fields de-
clared that Miss Coakley had
made disparaging remarks to her
for no reason at all. Miss Fields
denied threatening Miss Coakley
with a knife and declared that
she does not even carry a knife.
Miss McGahey told the court
that when she came out of the
bar she saw her sister and Miss
Coakley fighting and interceded
only in an effort to stop the fight.
She declared that she did not
take sides with either. But Miss
Coakley had scar on the left
side of her face and told the
court that the scar resulted from
a blow which Miss McGahey
struck her in the face with an
umbrella.
UnexpreSsed by either party but
quite apparent from the testi-
mony was the fact that bad blood
had existed between Miss Coax
ley and Miss Fields for some time.
After a long drawn out hear
ing, Judge Thomas fined Miss
Fields SIS or six days and Miss
McGahey $50 or 90 days. Miss
Coakley was found not guilty and
dismissed.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Drew Washington, charged with
reckless driving and with driving
