A Message From the President of The Students ' Council I would like to thank the Olympian for this opportunity to convey to the students of Grantham my sincerest thanks for the co-operation which has been extended to the Students Council this year. The support shown for extracurricular activities and special projects of the Council has been marvelous and certainly has gained the appreciation of the executive. I have always felt that no one person is responsible for the success of an organization. This has been especially true this year. Vice-president Jim Linton, Secretary Ken Atkinson, Treasurer Doug Chapman, and past President Peter Brewster have contributed as a team to the smooth functioning of the Students ' Council. Our staff advisors, Mr. Bell and Mr. Griffith are to be commended for their valuable assistance. The 1963-64 student Council hopes that it has contributed to the inspiration of a common bond of school spirit and has successfully performed its duties as the co-ordinator of school activities, maintaining the admirable traditions built up in years gone by.

Our Principal Speaks It is a pleasure for me to express greetings to the students of Grantham High School through the 1964 Olympian. I sincerely wish you continued success in your studies and in the careers on which many of you wi II soon be launched. I commend the Editor-in-Chief, Linda Bergman, the other members of the Olympian Staff, and the Staff Advisers, Miss Hughes, and Mr. Dugo, for their untiring efforts in the production of another very fine Yearbook. Education is not an easy road. It demands real effort. Your teachers are endeavouring to guide you in your search for knowledge, and I hope, that from it all, you are getting a thirst for knowledge. I also hope that you ore beginning to realize the greatness of your intellectual capacities. Approach your studies with an open mind. Be ready to receive new ideas and new truths. This can best be expressed in the words of Dr. W.G. Penfield, the internationally-known neurosurgeon, author, lecturer, and educationalist. In his address to the 1962 Spring Convocation at McMoster University, he said: Open the windows of your mind. Look out, observe, and let the winds from the sea of knowledge blow in. This is rest and tonic to the brain and the mind. It will bring you happiness and help you to realize the best that is in you. And in the end may the shells you gather on the shore by the sea of know- ledge be handsome ones-and may each of you hear the whispering of God s wisdom there. .

From the Editor ' s Desk There is an old Chinese proverb, One picture is worth one thousand words. This, year, under the theme of Student Life through Pictures the Yearbook Staff has worked diligently to bring to you, the students, a picture history of the school year 1963-64 at Grantham High School. We hove included pictures of not only sports and clubs, but also teachers in action. Through the addition of this new section, the Layout Staff has attempted to give the students a complete picture of school life. The production of a yearbook requires not only time and effort but also careful thought and pre- paration. I would especially like to thank Martha Minaker, Layout Editor, and Janice Mark, Assistant Editor, for the many hours they hove spent in preparing this book. I would also like to thank our Staff Advisors, Mr. Dugo, and Miss Hughes. In this Olympian, we have emphasized the fact that school is more than activities and athletics. The greater part of our school life is spent acquiring knowledge and preparing for the future. Let us remember that attaining success is like riding a bicycle; one must keep pedaling to reach his destination. The Yearbook Staff proudly presents Olympian 1964 , and hopes that you will enjoy it and treasure it for many years. Editor-in-Chief, JOavAa- i .s.nanrT rfv -- '
