JOHN CAESAR VACCA You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot do by force . Publius Syrus John or Pino as he is fondly called by his classmates is a three year veteran of the school. John ' s three most distinctive characteristics are his fanatic love of cars, tennis, and photography, however he cannot enjoy his extra-curricular activities until he has completed his school work. An ardent music fan, John devotes much of his time and interest to his drums and his newly purchased tape machine. He has produced the H.G.S. dances to date and the success of these can be attributed to his fine taste in music. John is a student who has tried a little of everything. He has faced the surf off Peggy ' s Cove in his scuba suit, he has become quite proficient in the oriental art of Karate, and more recently experimented with the intricate sport of fencing. His daily smiles and his perpetual politeness, which is rather difficult in this year ' s graduating class, will be greatly missed next year when he heads for Dalhousie. Someday John hopes to enter law after completing a commerce degree. GORDON YOULE Science is vastly more stimulating to the imagination than are the classics. John Burdon Sanderson Haldane. Gordon, one of the silent minority of our class has endured for 6 long years at H. G. S. He has established himself as a chess player being one of the most valuable players on the former chess teams. He greatly enjoys electronics, making innumerable inventions. Tutoring takes up some of his spare time also. He is a wiz-kid when it comes to Physics, Chemistry and Biology as well as Math. There are often long lines in front of his desk of people who need much help. Next year Gord will mingle with the crowd at Dalhousie. 11
