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

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

Sponsor. Sniff something in the air? Hear the purring of a sewing machine? It could be any one of the four home economics class- es whose goal is to help girls acquire the talent of being skilled homemakers. To emphasize the importance of per- sonal improvement and the practice of good manners, Home Economics I is of- fered. In Home Economics II one learns how to build better family relationships and care for the sick. It also offers an advancement in the study of food and fash- ions. From Home Economics III and IV girls learn to be excellent cooks, charming hostesses, and good seamstresses for their future roles of wives and mothers. 0?ftcia€CtnecuK o£ Society MRS.
