LAURA MARGARET ALLEN A light heart lives on. — Shakespeare The Grammar School has known Laura ' s pretty smile and equable person- ality for three years. Her cheerfulness has been indispensable in maintaining class morale, and she brings a refreshing quality to her duties as an assistant secretary. Her many interests include basketball, swimming, tennis, and track sports; and she has a tenacity in mathematics which has been frequently useful to her classmates. Laura plans to study mathematics and biology, and has not yet selected a university. JOSE AQUINO To work and back to bed again. — John Masefield If anyone in the school is likely to latch suddenly onto your scarf, half strangle you, then bound off down the hall in imitation of a demented chimp, it is Jose. Despite his use of crazy fits and an obnoxious sense of humour to release his excess energy, Jose is a considerate, likeable fellow, and possesses a keen intellect. He will claim that he does only as much thinking as necessary to his subsistence on earth, yet he has a high average, which should see him into the Faculty of Medicine at Dal next year. His sensitivity, intelligence and energy all combine in his performances on the violin and piano, for which he has won many awards at the Kiwanis Festival. In his early years at H.G.S. Jose has been the Editor of The Grammarian, Vice-President of the Students ' Council and has proved that size is not nearly as im- portant as sheer effrontery in the making of a top-notch soccer player. JENNIFER KRISTINE BADLEY The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. — Victor Hugo Jennifer has done very well during her ten years at the school. Two years on the Honour Roll and a fine debating record are nothing to scoff at. But she also has been a member of the Students ' Council for two years, and was last year the Grammarian ' s business manager. She sometimes leaves the lunch-tim e socializing and entertainment of her friends to be an assistant secretary. When not serving the school or enjoying music, cross-country skiing, sailing £ind dance, Jen can be found grinning and bearing it at her part-time job. Her plentiful humour and charisma, and surprising turns-of-phrase ( heavy thighs ) will be to her advantage as she studies for a B.A. in English at the Uni- versity of Toronto. — 11 —
