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.
