MR. ROBERT M. BARR BM Cincinnati Conservatory of Music;’Band MISS CORNELIA YARBROUGH BME Stetson University; Florida State University; Music Appreciation, Girls Chorus, Beginning Chorus, Concert Chorus. No one at Glynn Academy will ever suffer from a lack of music in his life. Miss Yarbrough, Mr. Barr, and Miss Stephens simply would not hear of such a thing. Besides enlivening nearby classes with “Fiddler on the Roof” and setting math to the calculated measures of Sousa, the mu- sicians are eager to display their growing talent, be it in the staging of a concert, a well-coordinated “Teaberry Shuffle,” or participation in an orchestral competition. The required perfection can only be reached through patient practice and, as every band member knows, the only way to a perfect scale is through constant pushing-up.

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.

Students with a Good Business Education Never MRS. JULIET. DAVIS BS, Georgia Southern College; Business Law; Recordkeeping; Typing I. MRS. AVONEL M. HORNE BS, South Georgia College; Georgia Southern; Typing I; Personal Typ- ing; Notehand; Law and Sales; Business Management. MRS. MARY T. WILLINGHAM Sullins College; BS, University of Georgia; General Record Keep- ing; FBLA. Glynn’s business department strives toward an ambitious goal of a total education for all the students. A well-rounded education must consist of both academic subjects and an effective course of study in the practices of business, such as typing, bookkeeping, and business math. A course in typing is an invaluable aid to all students, whether they plan to pursue a career in business or not. Business math is another course which accounts well for itself among all the students. In business math one learns the principles of budgeting and keeping accurate financial rec- ords which always draw interest. Another aid to the average student is business law, which is a half-unit course that delves into the legal aspects of business. More specialized courses are offered in shorthand, book- keeping, and office practice. Shorthand teaches the students an entire language consisting of strange symbols that are meaningless to the average person. Bookkeeping teaches the student how to keep accurate and well-balanced records, while he learns conventional procedures in secretarial office practice. In general, business students learn highly useful practices that will help them in whatever field they decide to enter. In the affluent society of today a good business education is a must for everyone. 22
