Headmaster s Message To the Graduates: 1974 Graduates leave the Grammar School at a time when Nova Scotia, Canada, and the World face problems which demand intelligence, imagination, and a willingness to break with the past if more permanent solutions are to be found. These qualities are in abundance in this year ' s Graduates. Since they are likely authors of a new tomorrow, I urge our Graduates to protect and nurture the above qualities with care.

Graduating Class STEVEN MICHAEL ACKER Me? Woody Allen? Try that guy with the lampshade ... Woody Allen Sometime one gets the impression that Steve Acker was not, in fact, born in Montreal, but in the Y.M.C.A. on South Park Street. Steve has been a leader of the Y ever since I can remember, and each week he finds himself rescuing children who have their fingers stuck in faucets and other such places. Steve also can tell you about how he drove his mother to the hospital when he was six years old. It was a Volkswagen he says. Steve also cuts the mustard on paper, and has some marks to prove it. He wants to be a journalist, because he knows that he will meet Wilt Chamberlain that way. Steve won ' t be bringing terribly much to Dal. but it will still be hard to forget him — try as one might. ROBERT DAVID ATERMAN La Vie, c ' estmoi! - paraphrase of Louis XIV If at anytime one enters the hallowed halls of room 205, one will immediately meet the class ' s champion debater and full time cynic-Robert. Rob has made many contributions to this school having been a part of both the soccer and basketball teams as well as the diligent fan of both badminton and chess. If at any time, we are stuck for a convincing argument in English class, we can always count on Rob to come to the rescue. Every lunch hour one can find Rob trying to beat Dayalan in a game of chess, amidst the cacophony of the Prep I grand-masters. With Rob ' s running abilities, he has placed consistently near first place in the marathons, and we wish him luck as he goes streaking through Europe next year. DAVID BAXTER Hockey is a game for thinkers ??? A relatively new member to the class, with four years standing, David has quickly worked himself into the groove of things. Hockey player, coach, holise captain and Student Council representative are a few of his accomplishments. David never ceases to bring a smile to the class when he gives us one of his now famous renditions of Shakespearean verse. An accredited physicist and mathematician (thanks to his pocket calculator ), Dave is never at a loss for time consumers. Whether he is setting up a dance, attempting jokes, giving quotations from Papa Lou , or driving around certified pedestrians, he is always ready to lend a helping hand. Those at Dalhous ie should be well prepared next year, for David is only one in a million. 7
