Grant. lim Chaney, representing the Senior High-Y, was honored by acting as Governor for a day, thus participating in state and com- munity government. Another phase of gov- ernment, this time at school, took place under the direction of Chuck Stubbs, Student Coun- cil President. Through student government, Grant students took part in the democratic processes which Will prepare the'm for their role as future voting citizens. A high standard of excellence was ob- tained also in scholastic abilities.

School life at U. S. Grant had many sides- academic, social, athletic, and educational. With many things to do, students Went to Work taking advantage of our schoolis many facilities and by working togethergin class, in club activities, and in sports every one had the opportunity to discover their many talents and abilities. Grant excelled in sports as shown on the op- posite Page where captains of our football and basketball team admire trophies won through athletics. However, studies were not forgotten and students continually passed through library doors in a quest for reference materials necessary to help keep a high grade average. Facilities in Drivefs Education, the green- house, the office switchboard, the student store, gave students first hand experience and training. But, all was not Work, for relaxation was found by students and teachers alike, giving a welcome break from duty.
