'DecU zted Sducatox i One of the traits of a truly great educator is a strong belief in the value of the education gained through experience as well as that gained through academic work, a belief that social adjustment, self discipline, hon- esty, and respect for authority are problems to be solved during the high school years. We of the Annual Staff believe that Glynn Academy has such a liberal- minded educator on her faculty. His role as teacher and administrator en- ables him to see the deficiencies of both facets and to work to correct them. His long experience in the edu- cational field, which includes fifteen years in Glynn Academy, has given him insight into students’ problems, actions, needs, and capacities along with the ability to deal with students on an adult level. His work, though it seldom brings him into the spotlight, is nevertheless vitally necessary in directing the often unsettled current of school life and is enhanced by his private philosophy that “a high school that teaches only what’s in the textbooks isn’t much of a high school.” For his devotion to this doctrine and for his unseen part in shaping all of our educational path- ways, we dedicate the 1962 High Tide to “the Major,” Mr. Lee. The gaiety of Christmas is reflected in the faces of Mr. Lee and his daughter Sara as they sit before the tree. “Major” Lee takes a breather from his de- manding work as administrator and math teacher. 9
