STACIE ANNE GERAGHTY Just because your thoughts may not be received, does not mean they are not worth giving. Seg AK: Stacie is completing her seventh year at H.G.S. Her giddy laugh resounds through the classroom morning and afternoon. She gave up an occasional lunch time in grade ten to be an assistant secretary, although now she doesn ' t really have the time as she owns her own horse, Yophee. Yoph ' takes up quite a lot of her spare time with the remainder being spent at Dartmouth High. Although her style of clothing is quite preppy, she does take the occasional time-out to do a very good Mrs. Frenette impersonation. Stacie doesn ' t play any team sports but does enjoy going to watch the occasional hockey game whether it be professional or amateur. She remembers Eggy, Garfield, D.H.S., groovy people, moving, the band and her lock. Stacie plans to study biology at an undecided university - possibly Agric- ultural College or Ottawa. Wherever she goes we are sure she will be success- ful. DAVID JONES ' ' Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, Sermons and soda-water the day after. Lord Byron David has proven to be an interesting addition to the class since his arrival at the end of last year from Chicago. An ardent believer in what he says (and God help you if you disagree with him), David readily shares his wisdom on subjects ranging from Navakov to fencing, computers to electro-pop, science-fiction to what ' s-his-name ' s date at the last dance. He maintains an up-to-date knowledge of his many interests by being a voracious reader of magazines and books, and through correspondence with friends in the U.S and his native England. He is also conversant in one language. Not to suggest that David is a pure scholar, he manages quite well to balance his academic endeavours witn a surreptitious social life. Good luck, David. DORA ALIDA KEMP ' ' Silence is golden. Thomas Carlyle Dora arrived from the Ladies College into grade nine after skipping grade eight. It was a difficult year for her especially in mathematics but she managed to pull through and end with a successful year. She was quiet at first and the teachers would always be after her to speak up in class. However, now she has emerged out of this stage and has been more active in the activities of the class. She became involved in sports such as volleyball, squash, raquetball and ping pong. Outside the school she plays sports such as tennis and she skis. She plays the french horn and participates in concerts and a band, the St. Paul ' s Singers and a church choir. She is a member of the Drama Club and acted in plays such as ' The Ugly Duckling, ' and ' Alice in Wonderland ' as well as helping with the sets. Dora is interested in art and museumology. She hopes to go to the University of Toronto and pursue career in archeology We wish heri the best of luck,

JUDITH (JUDE) MARY ABBOTT It ' s getting better all the time. Getting Better The Beatles Judith has persevered in the Grammar School longer than any other girl in upper six, only taking a sabbatical leave for one of her would be twelve years here. She is an avid sports fan and displays her outstanding talents in our basketball and volleyball teams. A definite asset to the teams, she has been playing volleyball for four years and this year was the team ' s cap- tain. She also enjoys hockey, baseball and soccer: as she plays on one of tne Halifax women ' s metro soccer teams. Jude is a talented piano player, but besides this and all her other extra-curricular activities, she manages to complete all of her schoolwork and do quite well. She is most frecjuently found wandering around with a radiant smile on her face or fighting with her locker. She remembers the year of 82-83 by Eggy, good times. Big people, parties, the Vee ' s games, y people slept well , the Big Z and MH in Levis. She plans to go to Montreal to attend McGill, where she hopes to study sports doctors and eventually become one. We wish her luck! MARK BAIN Give me a firm spot on which to stand, and I will move the earth. , ■ , Archimedes Mark, O! He is a wonderful boy. Sometimes he is very talkative but some- times he canbe very silent. He deals with everything in a very serious manner which should be appreciated by other students. Moreover, Mark has a very creative mind so he often creates something or things of something which is different from others ' ideas. He is very kind and he likes to help people. He likes listening to music and reading. Mark wishes to continue his studies in the United States. We wish him the best of luck. ELIZABETH ANN BAXTER Sink me . . . , „ it,- i Fhe Scarlet Pimpernel Elizabeth Ann Baxter started at the Halifax Grammar School in Prep two and except for grades four to nine, has spent all of her schooling years here. Since she has returned to us she has become an active part of the class structure, be it her killer volleyball serve or her reliable leadership. It seems however she is one of the elite in our class who appreciates good music, a trait she has inherited from a certain M.B. But this does not prevent her from participating in the school play, being last year ' s Business Editor of the Grammarian and various other activities. We wish you all the best at Dalhoiisic next year!

TIMOTHY WILLIAM KLASSEN ' ' He who never made mistakes never made a discovery. ' ' Samuel Smith Timothy William Klassen has attended the Grammar School since grade seven, and has certainly left his mark. He is well known for his interests in textured hair and terrible jokes. He also enjoys camping, sailing, girls, British music and has been a scout leader for three years. Tim ' s spontaneous laughter can often be heard echoing through the halls of the Grammar School, and he will certainly be remembered by the members of upper six for his sense of humour . Tim ' s stay at the Grammar School has been marked by fairly high academic achievements, and also by his progression from Levi ' s to Jordache designer jeans. This aspiring young doctor plans to attend university and become a leader in innovative medicine . We all wish Tim the best of luck for the future . PAUL KUNDZINS What ' s the answer? . . . In that case what ' s the question? Gertrude Stein Paul is one of the oldest members of the class in at least two senses. Firstly he came into the school in grade four. Secondly, and more importantly, he was one of the first to drive. He has demonstrated his driving skill to us many times over, as he will undoubtedly do to poor Dalhousie students. When not driving however, you can usually find Paul skiing down the side of some mountain. No matter what he does though, you can always recognize Paul ' s rather fast and unorthodox movements and the familiar greeting - Don ' t worry about it guys. CHRISTOPHER LEE When I was very young, and the urge to be some place else was on me, I was assured hy mature people that maturity would cure this itch. John Steinbeck Chris has attended the Grammar School for eleven years, and has estab- lished an unrivaled reputation for scholastic excellence. There have been many occasions in class when it seems as if Chris and the teacher are the only ones who really understand the material being studied. Yet Chris is more to us than just a reliable source of homework to copy. His wicked wit and off- beat sense of humour never fail to produce memorable moments from mun- dane situations. Chris has been involved with badminton at the school for three years, and now holds the position of team captain. Chris is a model student and a j ood friend, and probably one of the nicest people one could ever meet. Willi all these positive attributes working in his favour, we find quite easy to overlook his taste in music and literature. 12
