Biology, Physical Science. MR. JAMES B. McKINZIE B.S., Florida Southern College; M.S., Clemson College. Chemistry, Physical Science. Extreme importance is being placed on chemistry and physics, for a knowledge of these two subjects is becoming more and more essential in our rapidly progressing atomic age. Besides learning the basic principles related to matter and energy, the students are acquainted with laboratory techniques, the use of specialized scientific equipment, and advanced research topics. These subjects are prerequisites for future scientists, engineers, and physicians; but those interested in other careers will also profit by gaining a better understanding of man’s physical environment.

Through the study of the “Queen of Science,” students can observe and experiment with living organisms and learn how they function. Biology reveals to them the wonder of liv- ing things by bringing the students close to the working heart of nature. 23

This course unlocks one’s power of reasoning and whets his desire for proof. The course demands and develops dexter- ity, precision, and interest in the marvels of mathematics. Math IV, consisting of college algebra and trigonometry, is wide open for prog- ress. Individuality is accentuated by giving each student opportunities for teaching and discussing supplementary material. For those with higher math in mind, Math V offers work in solid geometry and calculus. MR. ORIN LUNSFORD A.B., University of Georgia. General Math. MR. VIRGIL A. BAILEY A.

Algebra I, II; Cheer- leader Sponsor, Hi-Y Sponsor. Always in step with the advancing age, Glynn Academy has a math program to ac- commodate each student’s needs. Beginning with a review of basic fundamentals, gen- eral math advances into the practical ap- plication of mathematics. Steadily progress- ing, Algebra I and II delve into a world of unknowns. In this way algebra prepares the student for higher learning by focus- ing attention on thought-provoking materi- als. 'Domain o£ ScAolano 22

 MR. R. E. JONAS B.S., Ohio University. Instrumental Music; Grad uation. MRS. JANE PRICE B.S., University of Alabama. Glee Club; Singers Club, Director ol Ensemble. “And the night shall be filled with music,” and indeed it is when the Glynn Academy band and glee club swing into action. Each strives to develop within its members a stronger and more lasting ap- preciation of the fine art of music. Through their hard work and enthusiastic interest, both have brought honor to Glynn Acade- my in annual concerts and district compe- tition. Students learn various phases of composition from Bach and Beethoven to the music of today’s Broadway hits. Em- phasis is placed upon a basic knowledge of music; skill is cultivated and improved; and appreciation is fostered and deepened. fo s4etue ttune MRS. P. E. CLARK. JR. A. B., University of Georgia.

Centuries of re- search, meditation, and study are found in Glynn Academy’s library for those who seek it. Our library also contains the lat- est books, magazines, newspapers, and ref- erence material available. Add to this the genuine interest and concern shown by our librarians, and the opportunities for think- ing and learning are innumerable. The modern world says, “Send me a man who reads.” No graduate of Glynn Academy has an excuse for falling short in his capacity to fill this requirement. 24
