and Words as Stepping Stones FOREIGN LANGUAGE Though Latin students may only dream of the day when their speeches will rival Cicero’s for ringing subordinate clauses, they are trying. While first year students learn of the exploits of Marcus and Sextus, second year students learn that Caesar crossed his bridges when he came to them and that “all Gaul is divided into three parts.” Meanwhile, in close dc espaiiol, Spanish students attack the language of Cervantes with as much gusto as Don Quixote mustered to fight the windmills. Success, for them, is the perfectly rolled “r”. French is the language of love and food, two things about which Glynn Academy students are enthusiastic. A lucky few of the French students travel to France, but for every student, French strengthens the call of gay Paris, where life goes dancing to the tune of the “Marseillaise.” It might be said that in Glynn Academy’s language de- partment Marie Antoinette meets El Cid. They meet, how- ever, under the watchful eye of Cato the Censor. MISS MARY ELLEN HALL AB, University of Georgia; French I and II; Sponsor of Entre Nous. MR.

Knowledge Uses Sounds as Building Blocks LIBRARY MISS SARA STEPHENS BS, Jacksonville State College: MA, George Peabody; Library Club. 16 MRS. JOYCE HIGHT Marion College: Study Hall. Looking in the third left-hand drawer of the library’s main desk, one finds an assortment of pins, which the assistant librarian drops from time to time to make sure that the library is quiet enough. Whenever the resounding ping of the pin is not heard by her henchmen in remote corners of the library, she takes steps. If these steps seem harsh, it is nevertheless a tribute to its staff that the library maintains an air of quiet serenity. This place with the cathedral hush is the origin of term papers and book reports alike. The proverbial English stu- dent, book list in hand or pencil scribbling madly, is a familiar sight. While magnificent flops have started in this way, so have many superb successes. MISS IRMA WILLIS BS in Ed.. Woman’s College of Ccorgia; Librarian; Library Club. r

A Clear Perspective is Essential mrs. w. f. McDonald BA, University of Georgia; Sociology; American Government; Psychology; Absentee Supervisor; Clinic; Dean of Girl . MR. LEONIDAS N. CHIMBIDIS BA, University of Iowa; World Geography. MR. JOHN O’LOONEY BS, University of San Francisco; University of California; University of Georgia; Ameican History. “The times they are a-changing” is a refrain heard more and more often in the world today. Never in the entire course of history have so many international crises occurred so rapidly. Within a single decade, questions concerning nuclear arms, racial equality and tolerance, and the emer- gence of Africa as a modern continent have been posed to all humanity, as has the eternal “War or Peace?” Only time will reveal the answers to these and other questions. The youth of today are interested and deeply involved in current situations. The days when young people read only the comics in newspapers are long past. Glynn Academy students are acutely aware that the events of today determine the future, their future, and they care. MR. EARL W. STAPLETON BA. MA.
