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

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

PETER NICHOLSON ' 7 have never gone to bed with an ugly woman, but I have woken up with a hell of a lot of them ' ' Anonymous Peter entered our class in grade nine after being hidden away in Baddeck until he reached his prime. He immediately made a place for himself and began to take up more space at the same time. He has been involved in sports as a valuable member of the basketball, volleyball and soccer teams and his infectious spirit overcomes everyone during House games. This year his interest in females has found him coaching the Junior Girls Basketball team and making regular trips to singles bars. During the summer, Peter may be found working the jackhammer for a construction crew or taking week-end jaunts to Quebec or Prince Edward Island. He plans on attending Dalhousie next year where his spirit and serious study habits will carry him far. CHRISTOPHER IAN ROBINSON ' ' Just to stir things up seemed a reward in itself. Sandust (86-34 B.C.) Chris has attended H.G.S. for six years. His impact on the entire school has been quite considerable for those six years. Both younger students and teachers alike will have great difficulty in forgetting Chris. Chris seems to lighten up a class with his wit and charm, not to mention his ciothmg. His expertise in sport has been widely acclaimed. He is an excellent soccer player and an avid runner. Outside the school, Chris ' sporting endeavours include, again soccer and a keen interest in skiing. After this year Chris hopes to attend university in New York State where he will enter into the field of commerce. For those of us who are remaining here in Halifax, we will undoubtedly miss Chris, as will some girls, but we wish him all the success in the world. ROBERT IAN SEPHTON Velle est Posse. Robert (thunder thighs) Sephton, has amazingly been at the Halifax Gramrnar School for only two years. Arriving in grade 11, he immediately fitted into the Grammar system, academically and socially. Rob seems to be in a very happy medium, being one of the top students as well as being a constant partier. Each second of every day is filled. Rob enjoys being a member of our school ' s volleyball and basketball teams and the rugby, running and rowing clubs. Rob is also a member of the Student Council, being vice-president, and also play a key role in this year ' s drama production of ' Cyrano dc Bcrgcrac ' . Outside the school he enjoys playing on a soccer team and travelling. Rob is constantly full of zeal and energy and can always be counted on to liven things up. He is so busy that not all his girlfriends get to see him very often, much to their chagrin. We wish Rob the best of luck in all of his future endeavours.
