Understanding and enjoying good music is not an innate characteristic, but one that has to be acquired and developed. The power to cultivate this skill varies as does any other human accomplish- ment. Our band and glee club act as inspir- ing influences for students interested in developing their musical talents and ap- preciation. c6e4t 6 totuCecCye MRS. P. E. CLARK A. B., University of Georgia. Librarian; Library Club Sponsor. MISS SARA STEPHENS B. S., Jacksonville State College; M.A., Peabody College. Library Science. Glynn Academy’s modern library has such basic objectives as education, in- formation, research and recreation with the goal of providing everyone with ma- terials by means of which ideas are com- municated. The librafy’s part in per- fecting American higher education is im- portant. Our student body is indeed fortunate to have a well run and excellently equipped library to assist each and every individual with his own particular project. The guidance of our librarians aid us in selecting the proper materials necessary. A well-educated man is not one who knows everything, but one wbo knows where to find it. 22

CAROLYN WILLIS A.B., Winthrop College. Algebra 2 and Ge- ometry. MISS BEULAH LOTT A.B., Randolph Macon Woman’s College; A.M., Columbia University. Advanced Algebra; Trig- onometry; Head of Math Department; Math Club Sponsor. In keeping with the modern world are our classes in Math 4 and Geometry. Here, under the guidance of Miss Lott, Miss Tracy, and Mrs. Willis, aspiring Euclids learn the skills which enable them to pursue advanced mathematical courses in college. Both Math 4 and Geometry are designed to prepare the students for college. Geometry increases the student’s ability to find out the “why” of things and teaches him basic geometric skills. 7idea MR. J. C. GUSSETT B.S., Naval Academy. Algebra; General Math; Sponsor of Hi-Y; Sponsor of Cheerleaders. MR. LEONARD F. WHITE B.S.Ed., M.Ed., West Georgia College; Univer- sity of Georgia; University of Virginia. General Math 2. MR. ORIN D. LUNSFORD A.B., University of Georgia. Math. Math 4 consists of two half-year courses, one in advanced algebra and one in trig- onometry. The students in these classes are limited only by their desire and ability to learn. General math and algebra are courses designed to fit into a scheme of living. The fundamental operations of general math give one the necessary knowledge for business and industry, while algebra pushes a pupil toward the entirely dif- ferent sphere of higher education. 21

During the growth and continued de- velopment of America, its citizens have fought to defend their natural rights. Possibly the greatest of these struggles lies just ahead—not a struggle of revolu- tionist against established order, but of the ordinary man to hold fast to those rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which were vouchsafed to us in the past. Thus in American history, the student acquires knowledge from ex- periences in the past which enable him to assist his country in the future. 4 ftlutupe t tfo MR. WILLIAM T. KING A. B., Mercer University; M.A., University of Georgia. Psychology; Economics. mrs. ruth McDonald B. A., University of Georgia. Sociology; Ameri- can Government; Dean of Girls. MR. FRED K. MORGAN B.S., Middle Tennessee State College; M.A., George Peabody College. W'orld Geography; World History. World History is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom. World History describes the early cul- tures and civilizations of mankind and history of tomorrow’ which is occurring today is also a part of the course. Since Psychology, Economics, American Gov- ernment, and Sociology are factors which supplement human progress, and enter into every phase of activity, they also constitute a large part of our Social Science department. 23
