DAVID GRAHAM HARRIS He who loves not his country can love nothing — —Lord Byron David has a salient reputation as a motorcyclist and is reportedly the victim of occasional attacks of cycle-fever . He is also skillful at many sports, especially racquetball and hockey. With his inquisitive, tenacious intellect he figures prominently in class discussions; he holds firm opinions and principles on a variety of subjects and can defend them convincingly. His patriotism is not merely philosophical but active: he has joined the Armed Forces Reserve. David intends to pursue a degpree in commerce at Dalhousie next year, in preparation for law school. We are sure that his determination will carry him through his every endeavour, and we wish him all the best. DAVID HAYWARD LINTON To err is human, to dunk is divine. — J. Erving Having always been kidded about his lack of height, Dave has overcome this to become a first class basketball player. As captain of the senior team, his leadership and phenomenal scoring ability have been invaluable. Excelling also in soccer and volleyball, Dave has been uncommonly active in our Intramural Program, devoting much of his time and energy to being as- sistant House Captain of Royals. When not practicing his foul shots, Dave can be found strolling confidently through the halls or in the library in his sometime capacity of scholar. Next year Dave will hit the court and the books at Mount Allison University, where he plans to dazzle ' em with his dribble and to study sciences. DANNY HUI Peace makes plenty. — Fifteenth Century Proverb Danny is the only new student this year in Upper Six, yet he has shown that, with dedication, one can enter our school later than Grade Ten and still succeed. Danny does well in maths and the sciences and for someone working in a second language is doing admirably. Danny has also done well in the area of sports, being an accomplished volleyball player and swimmer. After graduating Danny plans to attend Dal- housie where he will study commerce. Danny hopes to become an accountant and then return to his native Hong Kong. Danny ' s class is positive that he will succeed in his desires and all wish him the success that his demeanor and study habits demonstrate he merits. 13

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.

KIM MARTIN Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience — George Louis LeClerc de Buffon Though she is soft-spoken and appears with- drawn, Kim is actually a strong and extremely capable character. Kim ' s diligence, and her knack for getting to the library before everyone else, make her an excellent student. However she is a very well rounded student, and has considerable athletic skills. She was captain of the girls basketball team last year, and is a three year veteran of the volleyball team. This year she was also captain of Acadia, a task which demanded all of her patience. Kim i s very serious about her future, and intends to go into medicine, although she has not yet selected a university. BARBARA JUDITH PADMORE Through all the drama - Whether damned or not - Love guilds the scene, and women guide the plot. — Richard Brinsley Sheridan In the five years that Barb has attended the school, she has greatly contributed to the Drama Society on stage and behind the scenes. This cul- minated last year in her excellent lead performance in the annual drama production. Apart from this, she has been an enthusiastic member of the girls ' volleyball team for several seasons. The remainder of Barb ' s free time is largely taken up by her avid interest in art. She can frequently be seen in the art room during spare periods and after school, working hard on a new project. Though yet undecided as to what university she will attend next year. Barb plans on entering a Bachelor of Arts program. We are quite certain that her ability and her perserverance will assure her of a successful future. JENIPHER ANNE RITCHIE Want What I Want When I Want It. — Henry Blossom Jen has been a member of our class for eleven yearti. Through the years she has added her own unique character to our class.
