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.

The Dance ot the Green Corn highlights tall activities. Gala Occasion is the Festival of the Harvest Moon MENIBERS OF the High Council gather round the fire, each Waiting and Wondering if he may become a ruler of the land of the Chamber- lain Chiefs. Suddenly the tom-tom beats crash through the still night and the Witchdoctor appears. Upon receiving the Great Chief's Wise selection of Inner Councilmen, the witchdoctor lets the members be known by giving each a flaming torch. Then the Chief tribe comes back to the big tepee in one sun to learn of their chosen rulers. The fire ceremony begins and Big Wiseman Leto reveals the Great Chief, Roy Wilcox, and Fairest Princess, Carole McSWain. After each is pre- sented with the headdress and tomahawk of authority, the mighty rulers lead their people to begin the celebration of the new reign and the Dance of the Green Corn. Due to the fact that there were no graduate Chiefs to come home, the homecoming event Was replaced by the Autumn Queen gala in previous years. But that is all past tense, for now there are Chief Alumni. This year marks the Hrst Chamberlain Homecoming, The Festival of the Harvest Moon, and another tradition is set.
