'Vlr. Leto stops by to talk over policies with the Totem staff and adviser, Mrs. Cox. Patti Greene and April Neeld smile even in the midst of the big job of matching names with faces. Karen Jzlanzx, organizations editor. started early in the year to gather the information about clubs and ar- range for all to have pictures taken. 'lihen came the harder assignment of making lay-outs of pages which were to include department activities and teacher. Much of this work had to be adjusted to the various problems met-such as too many pictures for two few pages. Chamberlain clubs and classes are quite active groups. lVith all this comes the need for copy and much of it. rlihis, .xillllli-1' lftvbzllzk wrote on reams of paper. Stories about people. events, and just school. No minor task was this to paint the complete picture of Chamberlain! first two years in words. FIRST f'l've Grown Accustomed to Your Face might well be the theme song of the T0 Tlfill staff. The first months of this task of publishing an annual is spent in selling the ads and arranging for the taking of all of the pictures which are possible that early. Pictures, pictures, pictures - of seniors, teachers, sports, clubs, and events roll past the weary eyes of the yearbook workers. Here comes the sorting, iden- tifying, and placing of many individual shots and group pix. The real trouble starts when copy dead- lines come and dummies fall due. After frightening weeks of rush and tension, off goes the book to the printer who can soon give proof of skill or errors. After those last rushes of ads, proofs, and budgets, the books are distributed to the students who have waited for this important day. To Patti Greene fell the responsibility of senior pictures and copy. Arrangements were made to have as many pictures as possible taken during the sum- mer monthsg then Patti made the layouts, and edited biographies for the Senior Directory. Next came her task of the election of the Notables, a time-consum- ing and tedious job. iljvril Xerlrl, who by now had finished her pages of juniors and sophomores, pitched in to make Patti's job possible. This Student Editor had money to balance and names to check, not tasks of show. ...fb QXIQ 1 ,. i. -fs Q 1 . Karen Adams checks club pictures while Nancy Ewbank gets set to toss off pages of copy.

A visitor at the annual Latin Club Roman Banquet might well think he has somehow gone back in time and walked in on an imperial feast in old Rome. Each year the members of the Latin Classes get together to plan a dinner in Roman style, complete with Tioga dress. Besides this festive event, members of the Latin Club visited the Ringling Art Xluseum in Sarasota after an extensive study of the lay- out of the museum.

T 0 T E M S TA F F Tries to Pack Two Years in One Book This year rllrs. ferla Cox has been in a state of Gaul- in partes tres divisa est-between her Latin classes, some evaluation duties, and the annual, Chamberlain's first. XVirh an inexperienced but willing staff she set out to picture in permancy the story of Chamberlain's short history. Short his- tory it may be, but packed with action and personalities. It is the hope of the TOTILU staff and the adviser that this book will remain a pleasant album for all who came Cham- berlain's way. All these activities which have occupied the other mem- bers of the staff would go for naught if the books were not delivered into the hands of the students. The job of selling the subscriptions, keeping records of the installment payments, and making the distribution smooth and quick, have been the assignments of Patty r-Ipplegate, subscription manager. Just to be sure she assumed her share in the actual publication of the book, Patty did much of the typing. Here is the staff member whose responsibility it was to direct the selling of the advertising which makes it possible to produce a book for students at half the actual cost of pub- lication. .Irma Zllae Jslzion sold more than her share of pages of ads to CHS patrons and then gathered all copy for them, made the lay-outs, checked the proofs, and collected the accounts. I l Robert Allen and Jan Hill pitch into piles of pictures to be unscrambled. l.ast hlune when most students were off to vacation spots two of Chamberlain's next-year seniors made it to Tallahas- see, at their own expense, to study the problems of publishing annuals. Pa! Yearta and Patsy Deane knew at the outset of this term what a big job was ahead for all. These :wsociate editors have assumed responsibilities of checking and double checking all materials being sent away. Pat also supervised much of the Autumn Queen activities, and Patsy is the busi- ness manager who keeps the budget right side up. 1 1 f fe MRS. VERTA COX Totem Adviser Patty Applegate looks over the file of subscribers while Anna Mae Ashton calls a patron about copy. Robert flllen, the only male member of the staff for Chamberlain! first yearbook, took over the sports assignment. This entailed the setting of dates and details for the taking of all sports pictures, action, group, and individual. Then came the copy, the statistics, and the layouts. This was a big job for one man. To make sure that the photographer knew where to go and whom to shoot, fan llill became his oflicial assistant- even went so far as to be the assistant to the photographers assistant. Her second task was to gather information and quotations from the faculty members and help Nancy with this part of the copy. Indeed everybody, both teachers and students. were seen by ,lan and saw her. Associate editors Pat Yearta and Patsy Deane look a little awed by the task ahead.
