Glynn Recognizes Her Point of Pride Homecoming . . . Twirp Season ... Hayseed Day ... Graduation . . . all these things are Glynn Academy. With- out the frantic Kleenex-stuffing, the dazzling half-time shows, the conversion of Glynn Academy into a foot-stomping as- semblage of hicks, and the joy and sorrow of Commence- ment, Glynn Academy would be merely a school. Vital to the life of the student body, these activities, blend- ing with academic achievement to make the year complete, are all engineered by one man—a man who gives unself- ishly of his time and energy for the benefit of his school. Serving as both experienced instructor and able adviser, he faithfully supervises students through endless hours outside the classroom. Hoping to capture in picture and print the many memor- able events for which this man is responsible, the Annual Staff dedicates the 1966 High Tide to a man who is himself dedicated—Mr. Don Whaley. 7

ACADEMICS Schools are made of many things. Students, books, build- ings, administrators, courses, concepts, and teachers are but a few of the essential elements which fuse to form a school. Glynn Academy is much more than a proud group of build- ings surrounded by a sea of young faces. The atmosphere of learning which lingers in the stark, modern corridors and the musty, well-worn halls is synonymous with the name Glynn Academy. Her heritage is indeed rich. The interaction that takes place between students and faculty makes learning an experience in living. Students hear, think, and react, stimulating teachers to greater efforts. Glynn Academy classes are filled with faces that mirror the thoughts of young minds in the process of learning. Teachers, administrators, counselors, and coaches alike seek to awaken in the student body a desire to learn. At Glynn, excellence is the goal and the realization of teachers who strive to learn as they teach. 9
