RONALD ARRON CHARLES CUPERFAIN He is a gentleman; you can tell by his hoots. Billy Bootlicker Ronnie has only been at the school a short four years, but it has not taken him long to exert himself as a leader in student affairs. Working on the Grammarian staff for four years, he became editor of the 1976 edition. Ronnie has also shown leadership in athletic activities where he led Glooscap to the house league championship. Along with his athletic career, Ronnie also maintains a high academic standard through his diligent work habits. Ronnie plans to take a Bachelor of Business Administration next year at Dalhousie. We wish him the best of luck. CYNTHIA NELL GROVER Say from whence you owe this strange intelligence? - Shakespeare Cynthia has been with us for seven years, and has added her own unique stamp to the characters of our class. During her years at H.G.S. she has been active in many school activities, notably drama. She has excelled in academics to the extent that she succeeded in winning herself a place at St. Catherine ' s College, Oxford, next year. She is majoring in modern language and the class wishes her good luck at Oxford. SEAN STEWART HAWKINS It ' s clever but is it art? - Kipling A man is never happy except when he is drunk! - Ben Johnson Sean has been with the school for twelve long years and is one of the six veterans. Sean ' s ability to turn any dull moment into a dynamic one has enhanced the class this year. He was active on the soccer field in sub-zero weather aiding the team on to victory. He is also one of the avid cross-country skiers in the class. One can see Sean involved in an intellectual discussion with the schools intelligensia, dragging himself out of an ' all- nighter ' on Gottingen St. with the boys or playing pinball at the SUB. Sean rates himself as ' nearly as good a woodsman as Peter Montgomery ' and his participation in the canoe trips to Keji the past few years has been en- joyed by the members of the class. Sean takes his wit and enthusiasm off to Queens next year and we wish him the best of luck. This page sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. G. Hawkins 9

JOHN BEAUMONT CAMPBELL BUGDEN He doth nothing but talk of his girls. Jay is one of six members of the class who have been around for the full twelve year cycle. His dependability in business affairs is demonstrated by his appointment to class treasurer and aid to the headmaster. Jay has always been a diligent worker, but at the same time has kept an eye on members of the opposite sex. His exploits in the field of women have spurred many a classroom dis- cussion; and when pushed he shows an excellent sense of humour. Jay is also adept at many forms of athletics. He plans to study sciences at Dalhousie next year, and we all wish him the best of luck. ADAM GORDON COPAS Thinking is to me the greatest fatigue in the world - Sir John Vanbrugh Adam has graced us with his presence at the school for only one year. However, as a newcomer, he was a welcome addition to the upper class. Adam has been a determined worker as he commutes everyday to and from Chester where he resides. Often tired from his early morning awakenings, he fights conscientiously through each school day. The object of many jokes, Adam takes these all in stride as he knows that we but jest. He was formerly with the Canadian Armed Forces but left it, probably on his own accord. As for the future, Adam does not seem too sure of what he will be doing (so what else is new?) but he says he will be studying geology at St. Francis Xavier. All of us wish him the best of luck. He hopes he doesn ' t need it. HOWARD SIDNEY CONTER You have a nimble wit; 1 think ' twas made of Atlanta ' s heels - Shakespeare Howard is one of the six 12-year men in the gradu- ating class. He has been a valuable member ever since his first year at the school. His sharp wit and clever humour never fail to reduce the other members of the class to fits of laughter. Howard has participated in various sports, such as soccer, basketball and rugby, where he inevitably demonstrates his good sportsman- ship. This year Howard has led the student council and helped to keep the Drama Society books in order. He plans to go to Dal. next year, where we ' re sure his sense of humour will be appreciated. We wish you the best of luck, Howard. 8 This page sponsored by Dr. and Mrs. Grover

MARGARET HOPE HELLEINER The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast For he heard the loud bassoon. Coleridge During the seven years that Meg has been part of this class, she has always contributed to its intellectual level in her sensible and thoughtful views. Whenever there is a discussion, Meg is sure to have an opinion that will turn it into an argument, which in turn stimu- lates the unthinking members of the class to formulate new ideas. Music is Meg ' s forte and we are often condemned to hearing her hum a Mozart sonata in the morning. She has taken up the bassoon seriously and belongs to many orchesteral groups throughout the city. With her talent we feel sure that she will do well in her musical future. PHILLIP GEORGE HUNT ' 7 ' ve got a right to feel low down. . . I ' ve got a right to sit and cry. . . All 1 see for me is misery. - Billie Holiday Phil is one of the more sensitive 12 year members of the class. Although he appears to be constantly depres- sed and lonely, this is only a facade. He is in actual fact a very outgoing and sociable person. To be perfectly truthful, he ' s known as a bit of a ' Casanova ' (who else received a Christmas card from Acadian Lines.) As far as academics go, he manages to fit them into his demanding social schedule some where between four in the morning after returning from one of those fabled wild parties. Next year Phil has aspirations of attending Queen ' s University. ABBAS IBRAHM METHIWALLA He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words. Elbert Hubbard One of the four newcomers to the class this year, Abbas has quickly eased into the swing of things. While the work was strange at first he has proven himself a diligent and competent worker. His unique sense of hum- our is an asset to our weekly drama classes. An avid sportsman. Abbas participates in both badminton and basketball where he becomes increasingly proficient. If all goes well, we will see Abbas return to Halifax after the summer and attend Dalhousie where he plans to get his bachelor of Commerce. We wish him the very best in whatever he does. Congratulations to the graduates from Mr. and Mrs. W. Hunt
