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
