WADE MAYO Yes... he ' s a real joker He ' s got a sense of humour - The Caretaker While Wade, in nine years at the Grammar School, has generally established himself as the leading member of the silent majority he has spoken up often enough to show us both his high intelligence and his keen sense of hum- our. A very rounded person, he has distinguished himself by being both a top student and a very good athlete, a Key member of the soccer and rugby teams and a forward on the basketball team. Wade does not often say much but he is invariably listened to when he does speak up. He will be remembered especially for his acting ability he demonstrated as Mick in The Caretaker. He will go to Dalhousie next year. ii EMMANUEL JANNASCH Good luck to ye! - Farley Mowat Emmanuel is one of the most energetic people when it comes to helping someone or creating a new set for the drama society. He has tremendous mechanical ability, if anything needs to be repaired you can be sure Emmanuel will do his best to help. However if he cannot he will find an alternate solution. An avid participant in interhouse competitions. Em- manuel has also been a member of the senior soccer squad for the past three years, leading the team in scoring. His performances in track and field during the schools inter- house track meets have been outstanding, dominating the senior level events. During the summertime Emmanuel ' s interest is sailing although he has worked with a land- scape architect and also acts as a volunteer forest fire- man. His future plans are undecided. SRINIVASEN PILLAY Nobody Owns the earth - Bill Bissett Srini is a highly respected member of the graduating class. As business manager for both The Caretaker and The Good Woman of Setzuan Srini was more than impres- sive. In fact, whenever he offers to help his assistance is gratefully accepted. But that ' s not to say he is perfect; if only he would realize that not everyone loves Indian music. Srini hopes to study law in the future. 10 Congratulations to the graduates (row Mr. Mrs. F. Mayo

HARRY GLUBE There is no substitute for hard work -Edison Harry is one Of the few people who have attended the Grammar school for twelve years. During the past two years Harry was and still is, actively involved in sports, being on the championship soccer team as well as a starter on the senior basketball team. The drama society ' s production of The Caretaker and The Good Woman of Setzuan were highly successful partially due to the ex- cellent sets. The greater part of these sets were designed and built by Harry. Next year he is planning to attend M.I.T. or Dalhousie. We all wish him the best of luck as he leaves the Grammar School for the first time. GEOFFREY GOMERY Talk to him of Jacob ' s Ladder, and he would ask the number of steps. D.W. Jerrold Geoff (Gof) is our star debater, a formidable opponent of anything up to 200 yards, much to the dispair of his opponents at various tournaments and much to the amuse- ment and exasperation of those who know him in normal life. Geoff is also an accomplished scholar, the schools most faithful driver spectator these past years, hard working and conscientuous Student Counsellor, and top notch basketball team manager. His plans are for Queens where he hopes to take a mixture of arts and sciences; no doubt they will appreciate his unique combination of hard work and wit as much as we have. TIM JACKSON The purpose of an essay is to communicate, not to dazzle - P.H. Montgomery Tim has returned from Toronto with a quality previously unknown to the class-a sense of humour. His occasional participation in the generally slanderous lunchtime con- versation as well as his psychoanalytic reports on vari- ious teachers are both much appreciated. Maintaining a very high academic standard hasn ' t been much of a pro- blem for Tim, as many of his classmates who have been subjected to his close criticism and interrogation when discussing school work, will attest to. Hours of waiting for the Muse to appear and search of uniquely Jacksonian tone qualities on the piano are his major pre-occupations followed closely by his desire to reorganize the Nova Scotia Archives. He is contemplating a career in music composition. Congratulations to the graduates from Prof. Mrs. R. Gluhe 9

CHARLES SCHANDL Vitam impendere vero (He lives for truth) - Juvenal Charles is an example of that highly emotional Hun- garian temperment cultivated to its highest fruition; he argues passionately against any form of supposed irra- tionality, but passion never overwhelms the lucidity and purpose of his argument. On the one side passionately rational, on the other he is truly gifted with the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide with computer-like speed and accuracy. He also possesses a sense of his prowess, confident of his over- shadowing supremacy in ping-pong, driving and swimming. And it cannot be denied, unless he has declined through unrelenting dedication to his quest for truth, he swims like a fish. All in all Charles is a sincere person, except in science class, where he shows his utter disdain for the feeble attempts of his fellows to think scientifically and achieves a perfect- balance between the two souls that dwell in his breast passion and reason. He is well liked by his classmates, especially for his sincere crusade against obscurantism. To censor is to improperly perceive; to praise is not to do him justice! JEFF TAYLOR And whether we shall meet again, I know not. Therefore everlasting farewell take. Shakespeare- Julius Caesar Jeff, the only newcomer to the class this year is from Ontario. He excels in sport and was on both the soccer and basketball teams, being the schools highest scorer in the latter. He is also an avid supporter of badminton. Jeff does well in his studies, and has not allowed the continual practices for soccer and basketball to interfere with his work schedule. We all wish Jeff the best of luck as he goes back to Ontario with hopes of becoming an electrical engineer. NICHOLAS von MALTZAHN Good without effort - Byron Nick is an eleven year veteran of the Halifax Grammar School. Throughout these years he has proved himself very capable both academically and in athletics. For many years he has been near, if not at the top, of a varie- ty of subjects, being the only one to have ever dared the hazardous depths of Greek. For the last two years he was a valuable member of the soccer team, as well as being on the starting line-up of the basketball team. He has ap- plied to several universities, and would prefer Harvard, although he has yet to make a final decision. I am quite sure he will be a welcome addition to whatever college he attends, and we all wish him luck. This page sponsored by Mr. Mrs. C. Schandl 11
