A lively personality, brimming with excitement and enthusiasm, is only one of many characteristics which makes Mr. James C. Gussett a favorite with all Glynn Academy students. Since coming to our school three years ago, Mr. “G,” as he is affectionately called by his students, has contributed greatly to our campus life by taking active parts in many functions and by urging others to participate in them. Many projects, including weekly devotionals, development of pride in the appearance of our campus, and the assistance of needy individuals, have been successfully accomplished through his work as Hi-Y advisor. Mr. Gussett, who also serves as sponsor of the cheerleaders, is deeply interested in churchwork and often speaks to various denominational groups. An ardent sports enthusiast, Mr. “G” can be seen at every athletic event cheering our team through both victory and loss. His math students are required to know the numbers of the football players and the outstanding team members from each game. The originality found in his classroom makes each student wonder just what new approach will be used to stimu- late his interests. His pet expression of “Beans!” has become an accepted addition to the vocabulary of many who know him. Because of his many accomplishments and services, we of the Glynn Academy Annual Staff have chosen to salute Mr. James C. Gussett in the 1963 High Tide. 7Hr. (3- 5

 During the sixteenth century, the Fleur-de-lis of France sym- bolized a goldenMjfcge of beauty, culture, and power. Graceful ar- chitecture and sumptuous interior combined to give the Frenchman a regal home. Silk;- and damasks framed by rich polished wood were thought to be ||n only worthy background lor gentle fragrances and ethereal Bongen. Stylized gardens, fastidious dress, and carefully fashion jewelry showed the meticulous taste of the times. The Frenchman's lo e for his possessions was only equaled by pride in the wealth that was his. Battle was to him a vital her- itage. and his chi alrous nature led him to gratify his thirst for combat. He could kill with a nicety seldom equaled, or shrug when his vivid velvflE eeame soaked with blood. He tarried his country’s flag to our sHores with- out a qualm. The influence of his French spirit softened the prime- val land and helped it to assume some of the golden elegance of the Lilies of France.
