This has been a most pleasant year at Grant High School. As I look back and reflect on the learning and activities which have taken place, I realize how much our fine Dardcnian and Athenian classes have con- tributed to make Grant the wonderful place that it is in which to work. My best regards and appreciation to the entire stu- dent body and the staff for a wonderful year. Have a happy vacation! Maurice A. Ives GlRLSt VlCE-PRINCIPAL BOYSi VICE-PRINCIPAL Graduates of 1964: During your years at Grant I hope that you have learned the great importance and responsibility of the individual. In the years ahead may you be guided by the ageless maxim--'iBetter to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Frances Donovan

The annual staff, most thoughtfully and respectfully, dedicated this 1964 edition of the Shield to the memory of President John F. Kennedy. This action should not be interpreted as but a timely gesture. Rather it should be understood asion action to keep the principles for which this man stood ever in the minds of each of you. Mr. Kennedy believed in the fight for freedom both in philosophy and in fact. Freedom is something you cannot be giveneit is something you must earn. Each of you must achieve it for yourself. If you expect it to be handed you, you will be ever dependent. Freedom must be won anew over and over again. PRINCIPAL Our American traditions provide you the opportunity to win these freedoms for yourselves and help guarantee the same opportunity for others. This school offers you a solid foundation of understandings so that you might purposefully carry on the fight. It offers you this chance to gain understandings, but it does not give them to you. You must earn them. How you feel about these matters today will prove to be a significant factor many years from now when people define the wordefreedom. Sincerely, H. O. Dyck Principal
