Through American literature the jun- iors at Glynn Academy learn to visualize and appreciate the beauty of America. Their country is unfolded before them by the authors and poets who have the ability to create lasting impressions and interest- ing aspects. Along with literature the students are taught correct sentence con- struction and grammar. The product is not only a better understanding of their language but also of their country. cvitJl @6ze zx MISS CAROLE COLEMAN A. B., Wesleyan. English 2. MRS. R. H. EDWARDS B.

Sophomore English is an introduction to literary genius. One must be able to understand and apply what he reads and to choose his material with taste. Be- sides reading, an educated person must have the ability to speak and write clear- ly. Therefore, as a foundation, Sopho- more English is the key to future learning and enjoyment. 19

 aCcutct cuCve ttune MISS LULA HOWARD A.B., University of Georgia; M.A., Duke Uni- versity. Latin; Spanish; Junior Classical League Sponsor; Honor Roll Sponsor. MISS GENA SULLIVAN A.B., G.S.C.W. Spanish; Annual Sponsor; P.A.L. Sponsor. Languages cultivate a desire for knowl- edge. Through their study, appreciation for the cultures of foreign peoples is gained and their great contribution to our civilization is realized. As the course of study goes deeper and their many problems and means of solving them are uncovered, the students of Glynn Academy begin to understand more fully why they live as they do. A study of the military background of Rome reveals why Romans were great soldiers and how Rome became the ruler of the world, and a study of Spanish friends south of the border un- folds the marvels of their artistic ability. MR. GEORGE JENKINS B.S., East Tennessee State; M.A., North Caro- lina State. English 3 and 4; Hi-Y Sponsor. MISS JENNIE MORGAN B.S., Georgia Southern College. English 3 and 4. MRS.

English Literature convinces seniors that European authors are fascinating and wonderful writers. Wide and varied stud- ies are made of all the literary move- ments of the English people. Seniors also work toward a constant goal of per- fection in their daily conversations and in the many essays and themes which they are required to write during the year. When all the necessary work has been completed, they are aware of a marked improvement in their use of English. 18

MR. ROY DOUGLAS ELLIS BS., Georgia Southern. Physics and Chemistry. Our universe holds a number of strange mysteries. Through chemistry and phys- ics we see and wonder at these oddities. The primary sciences try to help us, by means of scientific truth, to discover the solutions and thereby push civilization forward to us, the citizens of America. Science is the password meaning the fu- ture and the golden door of opportunity; but only knowledge and learning can open the door. cut ocecut MISS FREIDA SMITHWICK B.A., M.A., Wnthrop, Peabody College.
