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

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,

ADDESH MAGO ' ' Originality is the art of concealing your sources. ' ' Edward Wright Addesh has been, throughout the years, one of the most vibrant members of our class. No matter how great the work-load, he can always be counted on to provide any much needed energy. Athletic involvement has, over the years, been an important part of Addesh ' s life at H.G.S. This year for instance he is Glooscap s team captain, a member of the volleyball team, a member of the basketball team, an avid badminton player and he is also coach of the city champion Junior boys ' volleyball team. However, athletics aside, Addesh has also displayed his intellectual expertise. He has done consistently well in the many math league and other competitions he has entered. As well, he could always be counted on for some key ideas for an algebra proof or a physics problem. Addesh ' s infectious energy and party-loving attitude will be sorely missed by the good ol ' H.G.S.,butwe do wish him the best of luck at theU. ofT. CHRISTOPHER ERIC LEONARD MILLS ' 7 don ' t even know what street Canada is on. Al Capone Christopher Eric Leonard Mills is a two year veteran of the Grammar School having attended grades 10 and 12 here, and 11 in Scotland. Chris ' s keen and somewhat strange sense of humour has been a definite asset to getting us through many a lengthy class. Chris enjoys British music, British girls, and good cigars. His hobbies include boating, camping, lighthouse, raving about Scotland, and growing sideburns. Chris is an accomplished drum player, known for the energy he puts into it. I am sure that wherever Chris ' s future leads him his honesty and hard work will earn him success. LIU TAK MING Continental people have sex life; the English have hot- water bottles. „ George Mikes Liu Tak Ming, better known as Ming , completed high school in Hong Kong. For two years he did odd jobs, from being a salesman in a medicine store to selling fruit in a market place ! Ming wrote his Toefl exam and then came to the Grammar School to do his grade twelve. Ming, amongst other things, is a particularly good athlete and enjoys playing soccer, basketball and as he put it - ping pong ball . Ming hopes to study engineering at Dalhousie University and then return to Hong Kong. Ming will be remem- bered for his irresistable grin, his sense of humour and his good nature. GARY NG ' ' All good things which exist are the fruits of originality. ' ' John Stuart Mill Gary is one of the quiet members of the class who takes special interest in sports like basketball, ping pong and arm wrestling. He is very competitive in what h p Hnpg thprpfr.rp he is conscious of whatever he does. Gary is hard curious m ind; this made him a keen student of Mr. tful to his classmates and he never likes to argue with ay have a firm and good argument. He has a quiet humour when you get to know him, therefore there is no one who would dislike Gary as a friend. Gary wishes to join the faculty of science at Dalhousie after his graduation. We wish him all the best in his future career. uiiymiy iiiiiiciUgii
