tP%i4€Ctfi U z td 4tde Principal’s secretaries Mrs. Eloisc Padget, Joanne Conley, and Mrs. E. B. Grace locate a student by using the schedule file. “May I have your attention, please?” is a question frequently repeated by our principal, Mr. James War- ren, as he begins the morning announcements and in- spirational thought for the day. Mr. Warren, after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia Southern College, went to the University of Georgia for his Master’s in Education degree. He spent two years as principal of Prep High before coming to Glynn Academy, where he has headed the staff for the past ten years. Mr. Warren, a native Georgian, is married and has one son, Jimmy, who is at present a Sophomore at Glynn Academy. Our principal feels that each student is important to our school and to our community. Believing sincerely in the wisdom of this conviction, Mr. Warren main- tains an interested personal contact with every pupil. Although he is one of the busiest people of Glynn Academy, our principal stabilizes the whirl of high school life by the strength and dignity of his character. MR. JAMES A.

S we Studenti. “7eae£e n Our assistant principal, Mr. Lee, has served Glynn Academy for sixteen years. Throughout those years, he has been interested in each student and has given time and effort to individual problems. Mr. Lee supplemented his high school education by attending the Citadel, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree. After earning his Master’s in Edu- cation degree from the University of Georgia, Mr. Lee began to teach. This career, which was interrupted by service as an Army Major in World War II, was re- sumed in nineteen forty-seven. When asked if he was married, our assistant prin- cipal answered, “Very.” This reply is typical of Mr. Lee and serves to illustrate the wry humor which has endeared the “Major” to the hearts of countless students. MR. WILLIAM E. LEE BS, The Citadel; MEd., University of Georgia; Algebra II, Assistant Principal. Mr. Lee takes a phone call from a parent reporting that his child is too ill to come to school. Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Andrews look over records of in- structional progress in the county. The work of Mrs. Mary Dan Coleman, county super- visor, is an invaluable asset to each teacher in our county system. Working with the teachers and prin- cipals, she helps select all material used in the class- room and the methods for class instruction. Our visiting teacher, Mrs. Joe L. Andrew's, is cer- tainly a vital asset to Glynn Academy. She works with both the student and his parents, endeavoring to solve or correct any problem which hinders the regular at- tendance of any student at school. II
