PERRI CHRISTINE ERNST Nuts Anthony Clement Mcauliff 1898 When Perri isn ' t around in the classroom you can be sure to find her in the office helping the secretary or in the gym teaching the younger children gymnastics. She has a par- ticular talent with younger kids and is therefore able to communicate with them. For the past two years she has helped to organize the formal for the graduates. She also holds the position of Vice-president of the 1974-75 Students ' Council. She is very much interested in studying physical education and music. At present, Perri plans to get her B.A. before making any definite plans for the future. ANDREW HEARD My Lord, I am guiltless, as I am ignorant of what hath mov ' d you the Duke of Albany. For the past five years the class has been blessed by An- drew ' s presence. With a good sense of humour, he has often brought smiles to the faces of those around him. He has been a very active member of the class during his time with us. Besides earninq a place on the Reach For the Top team, he has also held the position of class representative on the Students ' Council during the past year. Perhaps this explains why everybody goes to him when they have a problem. Next year, Andrew intends to bless Dalhousie with his presence. It will certainly be their gain and the school ' s loss — not to mention his own gain — a full scholarship. NICK HILL I got it, Sir . . . A person who never hesitates to help others makes Nick very easy to regard as a good friend. It is always amusing to be with him for he is always in high spirits and has special talent and a great sense of humour in making people laugh. His favorite hobbies are skiing and soccer, and he has demonstrated a conspicuous talent in both. Nick intends to enter Acadia University next year and plans to make a career in parks and forestry. We would like to wish him success and happiness in the coming years. 8

VINSON LEUNG CSTv Vinson started in the Halifax Grammar School only two years ago. His personality and character have added to our class. Some of his many interests are swimming, cycling, music, and cooking. (Exception — severe, cold weather). His favourite subjects are Chemistry and possibly, French ! ! ! A few times Vinson has dropped in on M. Masse ' s classes to listen to a talk about Antigone (N. B. Vinson doesn ' t even speak French) . Travelling is very much a part of Vinson ' s life, for he says he can see and learn more. Last summer he was in New York and this past Christmas he was in Montreal and Toronto. In the future, as well as seeing more of Canada, he plans to go to Dalhousie University to take his B.Sc. and diploma in engineering. ALICE LIM What is the use of a book , thought Alice, without pictures or conversations? Lewis Carrol Alice Lim is one of the longest living survivors of the Grammar School, having been here since grade Three. She has persevered and done well, even though she left her parents in Malaysia, to live with assorted brothers and sisters here in Halifax. She takes all the ribb ing of her classmates in stride and dishes it back at them at full strength. She has distinguished herself as a prize Driver-Ed student, and her taste in fashionable shoes and hats has become a living legend. GABRIEL MAK Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you . John Boyle O ' Reilly Gabby, as he has become known, is the quietest person in the class. Most of us are not always conscious of his presence. But he is noticed when he is commended for a good history seminar, or when he laughs at the jokers in his class. Gabby ' s English has become quite good. He is an asset to the plays put on once a week. Although Gabby is not sure of what he will do next year, wherever he finds himself, he will definitely do well. 9
