PENNY GERALDINE P. McINTYRE I ' m not arguing with you — I ' m telling you. — James McNeil Whistler Even though Penny is a relatively new member of the class, her three years at the school have served to encourage her conversational abilities. Invariably the first to ask a question, Penny always enjoys a good argument. At her best in an organizational capacity, she was editor-in-chief of the 1977 Grammarian and intends to pursue a career in Business Administration. Though we often tease Penny about her unique pronunciation of the letter H and her home away from home on Young Avenue, we can ' t help but wish her a happy and successful life in the future. KAREN MARTIN Venit, videt, vincit. Karen has only been with us for four years, but in this comparatively short time everyone has come to admire and respect her qualities. This year Karen led the H.G.S. girl ' s volleyball team to the Metro B championship and just missed out on a provincial title. Karen also played on the basketball team on which she was usually the high scorer. In the field of academics Karen has shown what a well rounded person she is by maintaining a high academic standard of which she can be proud. Next year Karen plans to enter university and eventually become a lawyer. We wish her the best of luck. The terrible burden of having to do. . . Nicolas Bodeau Despraux When her nose isn ' t buried in a history book, Priscilla is often busy cooking delicious Chinese dishes as part of her Physic ' s class fund raising campaign for their trip to Boston. Although very quiet, Priscilla has demonstrated her excellent progress in English since her arrival from Hong Kong two years ago. Her coveted badminton and tennis skills will stand her in good stead wherever she goes, and along with her favored hobby of sleeping, should help to relieve the tedium of studies as she goes on to a Science program at Dalhousie next year. We are sure that Priscilla will make excellent use of what Canada has to offer. PRISCILLA YUEN-MUN MOK This page compliments of Dr. and Mrs. T. Martin 13

ARIANE BLANCHE KATHLEEN LAWLER There ' s place and means for every man alive. — William Shakespeare Ariane brightens up the dullest day with her endless laughter. She came from Perth, Western Australia and has been with us since grade 9. Her immense interest in sports has made her an invaluable member of the basketball team and she will be certified as a lifeguard this summer. Playing the recorder and guitar are among other interests of Ariane ' s. Aside from sports and music, Ariane speaks perfect French and she has also spent two years on German. Ariane intends to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree at Dalhousie University. After that, she hopes to help people who have speech and communication problems. GARY HUI His talents were of the more silent class — Lord Byron Gary ' s mathematical prowess has amazed his classmates ever since he came to our school three years ago. Term marks of one hundred (and even more) are not uncommon for him. But Gary is very often seen using his mathematical ability to aid other students with their studies. His academic achieve- ments are matched by his athletic skills especially in volleyball. His powerful spike has sent many an opponent sprawling and has made him an important asset to this years volleyball team. Gary plans to further his education in the field of enginerring in a Canadian University. We are sure that he will maintain the same high standard in university that he has achieved at the school. JEROME JAMES LAWLER Bus Stop Lover. What does Jerome do out of class? Nobody ever sees him in any of the normal hideouts - the classroom, the library, or the hall, except hidden behind a deep blush. If questioned the only response will be a shrug and a sample of his dry wit. The truth is however that beneath Jerome ' s placid exterior lies an incredibly busy mind. Not only does he work hard as the Captain of Glooscap, but he also exercises an amazing talent for photography and art, and swims well enough that he is an expert lifeguard. We wish Jerome luck in whatever of his abilities he chooses to make his career. 1 2 This page compliments of Mr. and Mrs. R. Dawson

TOM HAROLD MOORE This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel . — Horace Walpole Whether reposing at the back of the class or entangling himself in a discussion on any aspect of history, Tom ' s quick cynicism and quiet nature have made him a prominent member of the class. His often withdrawn behaviour is deceptive, for it effectively conceals an active mind. Being a newer member of the class, Tom ' s participation in school activities has been limited. His world travels have doubtless been a substitute for this, as is exhibited by his exceptional knowledge of world affairs. Tom ' s future plans are directed towards a career in the diplomatic service where we are certain he will do well. SUZANNE ELIZABETH MURRAY lean resist everything but temptation. — Oscar Wilde Susan is a highly respected member of the graduating class. She is a avid participant in interhouse competitions and also has been on our basketball team and volleyball team and has proved to be an asset. When it comes to music, she is gifted for the violin, and plays in the Youth Orchestra here in Halifax, and she also used to be a keen horserider not long ago. She has belonged to the school Drama society and played the role of Cecily in the Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde. She has many interests and duties which she does equally well with her school work. She will take a year or two off to decide the field of her choice. Eventually she will pursue Veterinary Science or Physical Education. TOM VINCENT OZERE All men are snobs about something. — Aldous Huxley If there is anything Tom loves more than talking about art, it has to be exhibiting his vocabulary of obscure words. With a vast knowledge of clinches to astound us, he manages to radiate an aura of culture and logic. Though his eight years at the school have frequently tested Tom ' s sanity, his colorful wit has helped him to survive. Whether adding his talents to the Volleyball team or discussing the merits of the newest movie, Tom is a welcome addition to any class. He is planning on studying the liberal arts next year and we hope he is successful in whatever field he takes interest. 14 This page compliments of Dr. and Mrs. R. Ozere
