The only thing certain in education is change. - Bernard L. Fulton This has been a year of great change for Greenhill. The changes in administration have been reflected in every aspect of school life, They are apparent in everything from the shorter school day to the controversial modular offices in the commons area. At this time it seems not only appropri- ate but netessaiy that we ask of ourselves certain questions. Where are we nowf Are we moving towards the goals that we originally set for ourselves? How have we as a school reacted to the various changes that have taken plate! There are no simple answers to these questionsg we are still too close to the upheaval of the past year either to understand the changes clearly or to evaluate them objectively. Whether the changes made this past year have been for the better remains to be seeng it is generally fi .il ,L 'Q 1 , if 'si' ' ei .fifexs Q . .

At present, Greenhill is struggling with a problem which is felt by many to be a profound challenge: how to reconcile the ivory tower of educa- tion with everyday experience in society. It is argued on the one hand that the purpose of education is to cultivate the intellect and that the acquisition of experience should be left to life. Another school of thought, however, holds that an education in which learning and social application, ideas and practice, work and recognition .of the meaning of what is done are united from the beginning is the only worthwhile type of education.

conceded that change does not necessarily indicate forward motion. As for the reactions of the school to the changes that have taken place, they can only be evaluated by the examination of the individual reactions, for it is individuals who make up the whole. In the final analysis, one cannot but believe that the changes of this past year must represent a new phase in Greenhill's metamorphosis. The complete dedication of the administration and faculty to the goals of Greenhill is an assurance that, if it is humanly possible, these goals will be achieved. This assurance, combined with a strong student body and a supportive board of trustees, indicates that this transition has placed Greenhill on the threshold of new and greater things to come. --'Qu , '--....,,n- ..,... fl 'l 1 i f Y 4 4, Z - - as-ff F' f ,v ,ff 1 le 13.251, G
