Students ' Council The Student Council 1955-56 has been a success only by the work and co- operation of the executive, Ken Atkinson, Judy Brewster and Nestor Choronbay. With the constant advice and assistance of the staff advisors, Mr. Dixon and Mr. Jeffries, to whom we are very grateful, the Council has once again performed its familiar duty, that is serving the student body, with an unmatched spirit. The class representatives participated wholeheartedly and were always ready and will- ing to assume responsibilities. Throughout the year we sponsored dances, including Commencement and the Spring Prom, sold pennants, conducted assemblies, managed the Lost and Found, issued loans to other organizations, sponsored a chocolate bar drive and became involved in many other varied activities. Mr. Chapman, our principal, was always ready with an encouraging word. To him we express our appreciation. The Council has tried to set an example for the future. With the support of the student body future Councils will meet every problem with success. I have enjoyed this opportunity of serving as Students ' Council President. I thank you for the honour. Yours Sincerely, Patricia Linton.

Our Principal Speaks I am especially pleased, in this my first year as your principal to have this opportunity to speak to you through the pages of your yearbook the Olympian. As I write this, the school year is scarcely under way but I already have had much reason to appreciate the vitality and excellence of the growth you have achieved under the leadership of your former principal, Mr. G.A. Armstrong. In honouring the principles which he has so thoroughly implanted in you. you pay him the ultimate tribute. I would be remiss, if I did not voice your sense of loss and mine, with the untimely loss of Ur. David Bell of our staff. I was not fortunate enough to know him as long as you but in a very short acquaintance. I came to appreciate those sterling qualities of character which made his contributions to the school and community such an outstanding one. Ours is a time of change. Yet this is not a new factor in life. Pericles, addressing himself to scholars in the golden age of Greece, spoke of the necessity of flexibility, of the ability to accommodate to change. The only element that is new is the rapidity of change. Let it not overwhelm you. Set your goal and advance toward it step by step. The sin of no mission is a more besetting one than that of no mission. Master the technique of learning. You will be able to accommodate yourself to any change. One admonition, look to your standards that you will be able to differentiate be- tween desirable and undesirable change. In closing, may I congratulate your Editor-in-Chief, Judy Lepp. and her staff and staff advisors Miss Hughes and Mr. Dugo for the production of a yearbook which chronicles Grantham High School 65 - 66 so faithfully and so superbly.
