JAMES GUMPERT An angel at home, but a devil abroad. Jim ' s golden locks and blue eyes suggest an angelic tem- perament, but beware! — behind them lurks mischief. A passionate car lover, he enjoys defending the merits of his Volks . Sometimes pensive, but usually merry and joking, Jim is an active member of Hi-Y and an avid sailor. His consistent rank among the academic leaders of his class has won him a university scholarship, and next year Dal- h( sie will have the pleasure of his company. WILLIAM HUTCHINSON And a woman is only a looman, hut a good cigar is a smoke. In only two years at H.G.S., Bill has adjusted splendidly. Carefree, whimsical, friendly, and musical, he does both the bass guitar and trumpet great justice, with a musical credit for the latter. Bill has a National Lifeguard Award and a Bronze Cross. Soccer, a credit course at the Art College, academic efforts, and generous plans for next year manage to keep him busy. PHILIP KWOK Never idle a moment, hut thrifty, and thoughtful of others. Phil, from Hong Kong, quickly overcame a deficiency in English and rose to lead his class. His impressive accom- plishments are not only academic. Being the Gentleman of Upper 4, Phil ' s pleasant manners and outlook have won him favour in the school. A quick grin shows Phil ' s warmth of character. With diverse interests, Phil can be found in the lab , deep in a book, or demonstrating karate. Medicine and Dalhousie are his present aims. 6

ass JOHN GRACE Do your duty and leave the rest to Heaven. Equipped with water pistol and mischievous grin, John eagerly takes part in the pranks of the gang . He also adds his good nature to all Student Council activities and takes good care of its funds. John has been our outstand- ing creator of characters and slapstick comedy for hilarious posters down through the years; but there ' s no joking when John, hockey stick in hand, steps on the ice for the H.G.S. team. Going for edelweiss next year? AIDAN EVANS Time for every purpose and for every work. Aidan, an excellent and energetic student, is a credit to the School and to himself. Very quiet and often avoiding praise, he proves that not being over-talkative is not an im- pediment to popularity or success. Aidan lets his good humour and industry speak for him, and so far they have done well. An eager participant in school activities and sports — to say nothing of his riposte on our Reach for the Top team — he has been a real asset to his class and his School. A university scholarship is a recent accolade. HELEN FLINT There is a pleasure in poetic pains Which only poets know. Helen, a newcomer, has added a feminine touch to the class and a hint of Scottish temper that has kept the boys in their places. Helen ' s achievement of excellence in literature and languages and her sensitivity in painting testify to her love of the arts — a love which does not yet, however, embrace Euclid and his ilk. A sharp sense of humour, dry wit, in- dependent outlook on life, and a personal idiom animate her writing. Her considerable talents have been recognized with a university scholarship. 5
