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

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

NANCY CLAIRE MOORE Anything awful makes me laugh. 1 once misbehaved at a funeral. - Charles Lamb Nancy is one of our class ' most recent additions. Our world traveller , she comes to us directly from Sr. John ' s, Newfoundland. Famous for her laughter at the most inappropriate moments, she came to our school with a smile on her face, and it hasn ' t been far away ever since. Even at the gravest moments of calculus class she can be incapacitated by her unique talent. We all wish Nancy luck and happiness at whichever university she attends and hope that her laughter never leaves her. TILLAY PILLAY If thou will be perfect, go and sell what thou hast and give it to the poor, and thou shall have treasure in heaven. St. Mathew XIX: 221 Without the innumerable mornings which some, if not all of us, have spent admiring Tilly ' s work, we could not have made it through the year. The times we have walked into the classroom on the most miserable of days to be met by that tireless smile. . . Tilly is without doubt, an incredibly diligent worker, not only for herself, but everyone else as well! Although she lacks a weak subject, usually achievirig success in all her endeavors, Tilly plans to further pursue her studies in linguistics at Dalhousie next year. MARTIN THOMAS SULLIVAN What an impetuous boy he is. 1 like his hair so much. Cicily-from ' The Importance of Being Earnest ' - Oscar Wilde Martin bears the great distinction of being a twelve year veteran of the Grammar School. Martin has always been known for his fine sense of humour, but this year all have been pleasently surprised by his ability to turn out fine academic results through hard work. Martin added to the school by being a member of this years Reach For The Top; a participant in the dramatic productions; the house captain of Acadia; and the mana- ger of this years champion soccer team. Next year Martin plans to attend Dalhousie whe re he will grace the dreary halls with his Monty Python im- pressions. Martin created a presence which will be long remem- bered and sorely missed.
