Scholars Are Concerned With Controversial MR. HAROLD E. JENNINGS BS, Middle Tennessee State Univ.; MA, George Peabody College; American History and Anthropology; Student Council Adviser. ■ w V---------------- mrs. w. f. McDonald BA, Univ. of Ga.; American Government and Psychology; in charge of girls’ clinic, absentees. While many students know nothing about certain subjects, Glynn Academy’s powerful social studies department in- sures a thorough understanding of the history of America, from colonial days to these of the Great Society. Since both past and current events are often debatable, a liberal spectrum of interpretation is allowed the student. In the spring the department brings its various branches together in the annual social science fair, culminating another year of studies. This is an important department, for if any one can keep the fabric of interpretation intact, it will be those who dare to open their minds to an honest evaluation of world events. MR. MITCHELL L. BARRETT BS, Cumberland College; World Geography. 18 MR. DONALD E. HIGHT BS, Marion College; Univ. of Ga.; Indiana Univ.; Ball State College; American History' and Twentieth Century Problems; IRC sponsor, head of social studies department, director of social science fair.

Social Studies and Music Help Students MR. EARL W. STAPLETON AB, MA. University of Alabama; International Government; American History; Supervisor of Student Teaching MISS KAY HENDRIX BS, Ga. Southern College; World History and World Geography. MR. PAUL MARSHALL BA, Georgetown College; Driver Education; Basketball Coach. Just as social studies is a diverse field, the Glynn social studies department is a diverse department. American his tory covers not only the growth and problems of our country, hut necessarily those of the entire world. With em- phasis on past foreign relations, domestic affairs, and cur- rent events, History III is both informative and intriguing. Important problems of emotional behavior are studied in psychology; dating, marriage, and the patterns of culture are discussed in History IV. World Geography familiarizes the student with basic cultural features and the lay of the land in foreign areas of the world. Drivers’ training is a course much in demand. Not only is practical behind-the-wheel experience gained, but hours are spent learning the fine points of driving and caring for the car. MRS. E. H. SHELANDER Stanford University, BS; Sponsor, Safety Club.
