MISS MARGARET COX Guidance Counselor Miss Cox has been a part of Jordan since 1941, when she began teaching biology. She became Dean of Girls in 1944 and has since assumed the posi- tion of Guidance Counselor. In this position, Miss Cox assisted students in choosing a course in study which best prepared them for their future vocation. Her willingness to work with students and parents was one of Jordan’s great- est assets. MR. D. D. TROTTER Assistant Principal Mr. Trotter joined the Jordan ad- ministration in 1952. He taught world history, electric shop, and was an ath- letic coach for seven years before be- coming assistant principal in 1959. In this capacity, he has the oppor- tunity to deal directly with students in making appropriate schedule changes. When the occasion arose, Mr. Trotter became a firm, but fair disciplinarian. 13
