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.

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

JENNIFER JANE SZERB Be so true to thyseU as thou be not false to others - Bacon Jennifer has attended the Grammar School since grade 1 and has been involved in many of its activities. She has been a prominent member of the debating team and consistently does well in this area. This year, Jennifer is participating in the Drama Society and is doing an ex- cellent job in her role. Her assets are not only limited to debating and drama, but Jennifer also takes part in sports. She can always be seen on the badminton court and has an original basketball shot. Jennifer is planning to go to Queen ' s where we ' re sure she ' ll do well. CHRISTOPHER DAVID WEBSTER Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than of him. - Bible Proverbs XXVI Chris Webster is a seven year veteran of the school, and is well acquainted with the ins and outs of H.G.S. In his time here Chris has managed to leave everyone in awe of his mathematical ability. He tends to keep a very conspicuous profile and has attained a high position among the chessplayers of the school. All his classmates wish him luck in his ventures at Waterloo University and hope that he doesn ' t find the citizens of Ontario quite as backwards as he alleges the Nova Scotians are. MEIN CHIONG YEE The theory of probabilities is at bottom nothing but common sense reduced to calculus. Laplace Endowed with a capacity for common sense and logic, Yee enjoys Calculus, Physics, and Algebra. His cap- ability is considerable — 100 is his usual mark in math. Yee possesses the ability to laugh and is often heard laughing at either the class or himself. Since he is anx- ious to assimilate the new, Yee quickly became inter- grated into the class. He has recently learned to skate, and will in the future play hockey as well as badminton, of which he is an undisputed master. Yee intends to go to Dalhousie next year. Later he will study abroad and will no doubt become an excellent physicist. Because of his easy-going manner, Yee will surely be welcomed wherever he goes. This page sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. M.
