Barbara Walker is in charge of the sale of the EBB TIDES as Circulation Manager. She also has charge of the distribution of the books when they arrive in the spring. The EBB TIDE is blessed with the most fashion- able photographer in town. Mr. Jun is be- witching in his bermudas and straw hat. It is rumored that he wears his hat to bed. Seriously, the staff is certainly lucky to have such a competent photographer across the street. Millie Price keeps all the staffs money straight. The expenditures range from three cents for a postage stamp to several hundred dollars for colored pages. Her first job is putting everyone to work selling ads. E. B. Elder The advisors for the staff are Lorraine Force. Blanche Bazanos. E. B. Elder. Mary Engle, and Llewellyn Shekmar. Mrs. Force helps with all the art work and gives good Ideas for layouts. Miss Bazonas helped Barbara Walker with the sale of books: Miss Engle scheduled all the Senior pictures: Mr. Elder and Mrs. Shekmar proof- read all the finished pages. Barbara and Judy smile with relief as the last pages of the book are finally shipped off to Texas for the publishers. No wonder they are happy. The pages are only three weeks late!

 How many more lines of copy do I need? Are you sure this picture's the right size? My page is done! Have you seen that picture I lost yester- day? This is typical sixth-hour atmosphere in the Ebb Tide room. Judy Ferguson is the busy Editor of the Ebb Tide. Her biggest job is being general dircctor-in-charge of everything. This includes giving ideas for pages, pictures, and copy, and proofreading once the page is complete. Barbara Williams. Assistant Editor, looks up from scheduling pictures. Aside from helping Judy with her editorial work, this is the Assistant’s biggest job. EBB TIDE Staffs Work Is Never Done Judy Ferguson Mr. Elder takes his usual careless pose in the only easy chair at L. H. $.. while checking over the pages. He supervises the staff with a twinkle in his eye, acts as chief-joke-cracker, and runs a special limousine service for picking up lunch and taking home typewriters. In his spare time Mr. Elder is head of the English Department.

Another staff member has gone down under the weight and late hours of the lest minute rush. The club section was done by Suzanne Miles. Marilyn Hunt, and Millie Price. Clubs is one of the biggest jobs in the book because there are so many people with whom you work. Staffers bleed, chop, end cut as the EBB TIDE begins to take shape. Does it sound more like a hospital than a year- book room? Words such as these fly as deadlines loom into view. Staff members are chosen by Mr. E. B. Elder, who care- fully scrutinizes each applicant for the staff. Students are chosen for art and writing ability. Typing is also helpful. Students must be highly recommended by their English teachers. Many hours of hard work are put into the EBB TIDE, which happens to be one of the largest yearbooks in the state. Many times on Saturday, instead of a sunny day at the beach, the staffers are pounding away on the typewriters in good ole' 117. More than once has the Staff worked until after 9:00 P.M., trying to get their various sections com- pleted and sent to press. Karen Stevens. Phil Cross, and Ava Camp are the busy staffers on the sports section. They can be seen running from one end of the athletic field to the other or at any L. H. S. sports event in South Florida trying to get a new angle for a picture. The organization section was planned by Margie Wright. Marty King, and Sandy Johnson. All three were new to the staff at the beginning of the year. They run all over town to get just the right setting” for each picture.
