LORI BURGESS Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety... —Shakespeare; Antony and Cleopatra Walking by the Upper Six homeroom, one is bound to hear bubbly laughter, emanating from none other than Lori. Her constant smUe and cheeriness make her popular not only in her class, but throughout the school. Lori has been with us for five years. In that time she has always maintained high marks while actively participating in many extra-curricular activities. She was captain of Royals this year, co-captain of the girl ' s volleyball team, and co-runner of the badminton club. She has also worked hard in the Drama Society. Lori plans to take up pre-med next year and then to become a doctor. GREG GROSSMAN Money alone sets the whole world in motion. — PublUius Syrus Among Greg ' s ambitions are to be independently wealthy (or more than independently) and to own a Mercedes Benz 450SEL with power windows. With his intense love of lucre in all manifestations, which exceeds mere greed to approach pure philosophy, he couples a reflective cast of mind. Greg also enjoys skiing and travel, and is the hands-down winner as best dressed man in Upper Six. Though he is a proficient student, especially in his favorite subjects of Biology, English, and History, he has not yet decided where or by what means he will make his millions. We are sure, however, that he will succeed. ARTHUR R. T. (Tom) DICKEY Tom, don ' t repeat the question!!! Mr. C. Curtis Tom ' s vibrant personality, inquisitive, creative intellect and rather obnoxious sense of humour have enlivened our class since Prep Four. His talent for the dramatic has won him major roles in the productions of the Drama Society, including The Importance of Being Ernest and this year ' s Arsenic and Old Lace . Tom has also debated avidly and been a patient librarian. Tom intends to begin a science degree next year, although he is not sure where. Whatever he does, we wish him the best of luck. 11

PETER MARTIN ATERMAN When asked about death, he replied They ' ll send me to hell - and I ' ll organize it. — Peter ' s ability to cope with the problems en- countered as President of this year ' s Student Council, as well as to maintain an outstanding average, has won him the respect not only of the graduating class but of the entire student body. The leadership and or- ganization qualities demanded of him as Student Council President were further shown by his leading this year ' s soccer team to a provincial championship, volleyball, basketball and drama were also on Peter ' s list of after-school activities and in all of these areas his participation was greatly appreciated. Peter ' s hopes for next year are directed towards Harvard University. His field of study is still un- determined but most likely it will be either chemistry or medicine. Whatever university Peter eventually attends and whichever field he decides to enter, none of us doubt he will maintain the excellent standards for which he is known at the Grammar School. We all offer him our support and wish him the best of luck for the future. TIMOTHY BLENKARN HoHoHo! - The Jolly Green Giant Hi, Tiny -Miss Silver Tim ' s imposing stature and no-nonsense attitude prompt many to think of him as nothing but a ' gronk ' . This is not at all true — his interests are far wider than just pounding impudent Upper Two ' s. He is gifted artistically, skilled with many media, and his art, especially his unusual, amusing cartoons, is well- known throughout the school. The ' psyche-out ' power of his size and his ball- control have made him valuable to the senior volley- ball, soccer, and basketball teams. Nothing quite matches the sight of Tim going in for a lay-up. Tim is the only member of the graduating class planning a career in Art. The art world, as Tim might say, had better watch out . RODERICK GORNALL BUHR I ' m a wild and craaazy guy!!! — Steve Martin Rick has blessed the school with eight years of his presence and he can ' t believe he is finally leaving. Rick ' s athletic interests include volleyball (Captain of the team), basketball, soccer and rugby. Rick ' s ability to make spectacular dives on the volley- ball and basketball courts have always left us aware of his considerable talent. Rick ' s outside interests include Music, Maria, Maria and Maria. Rick must be thanked for his generous and reUable work at the school dances and his lighting genius in the school plays. Rick ' s future plans include going to either Dalhousie or Acadia for science. Whatever you do Rick - good luck. 10

ANNE MARIE FEETHAM Lookin ' for fun and feelin ' groovey — Simon and Garfunkel Anne is renowned for her unique disposition and extra-ordinary happiness. She frequently can be found lounging in the Art Room with a brightly coloured scarf tied around her head, dispensing advice about microwave ovens, to which she is addicted. Her ample artistic and philosophical talents illustrate her fine appreciation of the abstract realm. Although it often seems that Anne was born a decade too late, her decision to pursue journalism at King ' s College next year shows that she is firmly tied to the here and now. ROBERT GALE He remains a fool his whole life long, Who loves not women, wine and song. —Martin Luther Rob has been at the Grammar School for four years, and plans to go on to the University of Toronto this fall. Being one of our class ' s athletes, he can almost always be seen representing one of the school ' s sports teams, whether it be soccer, volleyball, or basketball. In the summer, Rob is an avid sailor, and in winter an excellent downhill skier; he was a member of the Nova Scotia ski team in this year ' s Canada Winter Games in Manitoba. When he ' s not in- volved in the afore-mentioned sports, Rob says his favorite pastime is girls. Rob was an integral part of our class this year, frequently boosting morale when the workload was heavy. We ' re sure that he will be a success in what- ever profession he chooses. HILARY JOCELYN GROVER Go forth and multiply — Genesis 1:28 Hilary has been a member of the Grammar School for seven years. During the time she has been here she has become actively involved in the school, partici- pating in volleyball, basketball, badminton, and drama, as well as being treasurer of the Student Council. She was also the captain of the large Glooscap intramurals team and often assumed secretarial duties at lunch times. She has a number of hobbies, these being Volley- ball, Music, Queen ' s and four-letter words... Jeff. Next year she is planning to attend Queen ' s University in Ontario. There she will continue her education in math and the sciences. In the distant future she also plans to be the mother of a large family. 12
