FOREWORD Entrance into a brave new world and departure from a way of life mark the transitions experienced by the flow of life through our school, Glynn Academy. Days tumble slowly at first, one upon the other in a soft spin of confusion. Time means nothing: small fragments of shattered conversations and broken thoughts are jumbled together in happy shades of recollection. Then suddenly, unavoidably, the days have been ruthlessly coaxed into the indefinable strangeness that is the vivid blur of memory. The realization of this comes to each of us, to some sooner, to some later. It may be a glance from an upstairs window at an empty campus; it may be in a chance thought during class. As with all things near to us, there come times when we see Glynn Academy as strange in its very familiar- ity. Hours in class become a dreaded treasure; people passing in the halls become more than overlooked ac- quaintances. In these times we turn to the things at Glynn Academy that will not change. The trees and the walls stand before us and around us. and for us all they bespeak the days that are gone. 3

Dedication Mr. Adams takes time to help an independent student with her problem. Mr. Adams encounters dust on his daily rounds. In these days of rapidly changing values, it is necessary to have a broad-minded view of universal concepts, subject to varying reference points. It takes just this type of outlook to make an outstanding teacher, dedicated to knowledge and devoted to a search for truth. He often must sacrifice his time and energy to accomplish his lofty goals. He must either put his work ahead of his pleasure or make his work a pleasure. He imparts a zeal to his classes that causes him and his subject to be popular. The recipient of this year’s salute is such a man. When not actually teaching, he devotes much of his time to independent work and research. He is constantly helping his students, at night and on weekends, accomplishing as much beyond the essentials as he can possibly guide them to achieve. His novel humor is an integral part of his classroom discussions, and his ability to understand and anticipate the problems of the students makes his difficult course comprehensible. The 1967 High Tide is dedicated to Mr. Jimmy P. Adams. As head of the science department, Mr. Adams makes many contacts. 5
