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 His often withdrawn behaviour is deceptive, for it effectively conceals an active mind.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

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

JENNY THOMPSON Life without music is a mistake. Jenny characterizes both humour and serious- ness, both sensitivity and strength which together form a winning whole. Throughout her years at H.G.S., her proving ground for the past ten years, her endearing qualities have come to light. Her musical talents earned her top awards in the Music Festival this year and further more, her achievements in debating have been equally successful. Jenny will be pursuing a bacholar in music and later a bacholar in law degree. Her all round success at H.G.S. will certainly be the trend for the years to come. We wish her the best of luck. TIMOTHY JOSEPH LLEWELLYN TERRISS I want to rock ' n roll all night — Kiss Tim has long been our class ' s musical authority. To listen to him speak about his favorite is undoubtedly an interesting and enlightening ex- perience. He is one of our class ' best athletes, being this years high scorer in the H.G.S. basketball, as well as an excellent goalie in Halifax ' s midget A hockey league. The soccer and rugby teams have also benefited from Tim ' s participation this year. Even though he considered pursuing an athletic scholorship at Yale in hockey, he has decided to go to Dalhousie next year and study engineering. As our only twelve year graduate and good friend, we certainly wish him well. JACQUELINE PATRICIA WEBSTER . . . the time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long. — King Henry IV Jacky has somehow managed to maintain her sanity in her role as President of the Student Council, while satisfying the more reasonable demands of the school ' s exacting student body. Jacky also has one of the heaviest subject loads in the class, and works part- time at Historic Properties, so it ' s not surprising that she can sometimes be found sitting in class with a tired expression on her face and a far-away look in her eyes. Nevertheless she also finds time for drama, volleyball, cross-country skiing, and of course her dog Blunder, a frequent visitor to the school. In the summer Jacky bicycles, sails, plays tennis illicitly at the club near her house, and attacks her archenemy, the front lawn, with an aged mower. Next year Jacky intends to pursue an Arts program at Trent University. This page compliments of Dr. and Mrs. W. Thompson 15
