7 tfCyntt rfcaeLetttty On February 1, 1788, one hundred seventy-one years ago, Glynn Acad- emy, one of the oldest high schools in Georgia, was created by an act of the general assembly of the state. The first recorded building was built in 1819 on the southeast corner of Reynolds and L Streets at a cost of $10,000. This was a two-story tvooden building with a large brick chimney. Some years later a new academy teas completed in 1840. This school was erected on Hillsborough Square, the present location of Glynn Academy, but it faced Egmont Street. For more than fifty years it served as the only public school building in the city, and it may be seen today in Sterling, where it was rebuilt around 1915. When they rebuilt it there, very little new material was needed, since the original timbers were found to be in excellent condition. The next location of our Alma Mater ivas the present High School Annex, which was erected in 1889, and after a little while it was transferred to what is now the “Old Prep High.” The present Glynn Academy ivas designed after the library of Louvain, Belgium. This structure, one of the most beautiful school buildings in the state, began her years of faithful service in 1923. The auditorium ivas dedicated as a memorial to the men in Glynn County who lost their lives in World War I. In 1946, Wolf Street School ivas added to the high school system, and in 1957 the new gym was completed. Thus we have traced the growth and development of our high school. The record number of graduates this year, approximately 265, will be a far cry from the graduating class of four girls and two boys in 1888, the hundredth anniversary of the school. Several years ago, ideas were being submitted for the Class Night pro- gram, and Miss Bernice Tracy drew a design for the coat of arms. This has been accepted and used ever since by the school. The objects in the design have the following significance: The tree is Lanier s Oak, sacred to Glynn County; the ship is the Constitution (“Old Ironsides” to you) which was made from timber secured in Glynn County; and the old fort is Fort Frederica, on St. Simons, a National Monument.

Our reign as seniors is almost over. We have each made our mark— large or small—upon the history of Glynn Academy and must now be content to let our past actions and accomplishments represent us. But for you who still hold the chisels in your hands, we leave a challenge: make your mark deep and wide. In your niche put depth of character and thought, width of accomplishment and understanding. Time allows but four blows and warns of a miss. We hope that the High Tide will forever serve as your key to this past year, always recalling memories that Time dims. The annual staff will never forget the tireless co-operation of the faculty, the pleasure of working with our photographer Gil Tharp, and Miss Gena Sullivan, our amazing little sponsor, who did half the work herself. We now give you the High Tide, representing our efforts to immortalize the eventful school year of ’57-’58. Editor
