1RS. ELIZABETH STONE and her French class try to prove the words ot CHECKING THE MENUS ot the Spanish tood palaces in n Franklin to be true: Everyone has two countries-his own and France. Tampa's Ybor City are Linda Haynes, Oliver West, David SPUTNIK SPARKED a renewal of interest in the sciences and math, it's true. But languages, too, came in for increased enroll- ment of these boys and girls who see a crying need for broader understanding of people who speak other tongues. Reading even a little and speaking even a little the words that other countries use increases interest in their people, problems, and cultures. Hodie Heriquen which means today and tomorrow may be Jenkins, and Sharon Rogers. the watch word for the modern lingos, but it came from the mother tongue, Latin. That so-called dead language furnishes new words day by day to the science world. Chamberlain has definite plans to' add a new language study next year-Russian. We hope to reciprocate-they study us, we'll study them. Pan American Club Studies Culture of Cther Countries REVOLUTION!! Yes, these things are always happening, and sometimes they cannot be avoided, but strengthening of inter- national relations can bring harmony to nations to prevent upris- ings between nations. The Pan-American Club of Chamberlain has just this aim in mind. The objective of this organization. is to promote good fellowship and understanding between the people of our country and the Latin American countries by working for an understanding of the culture of our Latin American neighbors and adopting pen pals. It is not necessary to be a member of a Spanish class to become a member, but one must have a good scholastic average and have an interest in Spanish culture. This year the Pan-American Club was the winner of the Ki- wanette-sponsored food drive for Thanksgiving, and was treated to a coke party. The club spent a gala day in Tampa's Latin Quar- ter and visited one of our famous Spanish restaurants for lunch. Tampais large Latin Quarter offers excellent field for study in language, customs, and cultures of our newcomers from the sunny southern part of Europe, PAN-AMERICAN CLUB: First row: Diana Farina, Norma Jean Payne, Jean DeCarlo, Judy Weaver, Ray Charlton, Mary Ann Worthy, Randy Barnes.

MRS. VERTA COX YEARBOOK ADVISER, Latin I and II teacher and every student's friend is MRS. VERTA COX. A very busy lady, Mrs. Cox can be found almost every afternoon after school working with the Totem staff, directing them in the long and complicated process of producing a yearbook. In addition she still finds time to hold the office of Execu- tive Secretary of the Florida Scholastic Press Association. Ads and dollars, these were the troubles of the money- minded staffers, JAN JONES and MARLENE RAND. Jan handled the contracts, made the ad layouts, and col- lected the bills. Marlene sold the subscriptions, balanced the books, and secretly negotiated the Notables. 'II've Grown Accustomed to Your Facev might well be the theme song of AILA ERMAN and WYNETTE JOHNSON. Aila arranged the senior pages, collected the biographies, and wrote the Senior Directory. Wynette knows more underclassmen and upperclassmen than any- one by face and by name. She set up the junior and soph- omore pages and wrote the Student Index. To make sure that .the photographers, TOM RAY TAGGART and ED PLOURDE, knew where to go and whom to shoot, DENIS ROSS became their official assist- ant-even went so far as to be the assistant to the photographers assistant. Indeed everyone, both teachers and students were seen by Tom, and Ed, and Dennis, as they trudged from activity to class, snapping as they went. A newcomer and a sophomore, ELIZABETH CUM- MINGS, soon earned her right to the rostra of staff members. Elizabeth drew the cover and the other sketches. She also did a large share of the layouts in every section.
