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.

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

RICHARD VERRIER Do you come here often? -i » -7 - ' ' Only in the mating season. ' ' Spike Milligan Richard, who ' s name has somehow become abbreviated to Joe , is, to say the least, an interesting newcomer to th e class. Although a born and bred Canadian, he spent the last five years of his schooling at an English public school (equivalent to Canadian private school), and has brought with him the British knack of not seeming to do much while actually undertaking quite a lot. Behind his amusing, dishevelled appearance (he seems to have considerable difficulty in taming the flyaway strands of his hair) and innocent looks, is a mind well-accustomed to the enjoyment of the higher pleasures of life - wine, women and song. Richard enjoys playing in a pickup band with a few friends, Chris Mills, Ewen Wallance, and Will Richards, and is most often found at parties or at Sam ' s, in the company of a certain lady-friend, Sonja Klasscn. Also a good athlete, enjoying all sports, in particular hockey, rugby and squash, Richard became a key member of the senior soccer team, helping to spur it on to a new victory. However, Richard is not all fun and games; he is also a serious student. Next year he plans to pursue his interests in English and History at King ' s College, hoping to succeed the foundation year program by studying Political Science at the University of Toronto. An ambitious person, Richard has aspirations of entering Oxford University at a later point. We wish him every success. EWEN WALLACE To look up and not down, To look forward and not back,? To look out and not in, and To lend a hand. ' ' Edmund Everett Hale Ewen Wallace has been at the Grammar School since Grade four and it shows! Throughout his years he has gained the reputation of being an out- standing athlete. He has played on the senior soccer, volleyball and basket- ball teams since Grade ten. This year he has coached the Junior Boys ' Basketball team. It is not surprising then that Ewen is House captain of Royals. Yet, by no means is Ewen ' s energy solely devoted to athletics. Ewen has received wide acclaim, inside and outside of school, for his many dramatic roles. Ewen is a fine student with a wit and sense of humour so unique to him that he makes most every class interesting for both teacher and student. Incredibly enough, Ewen has the great honour of being Student Body President this year. Having just finished what is said to be the best Winter Carnival in years, it is evident that Ewen is excelling in this job as well. In the future Ewen plans to enter Dartmouth College, N.H. He also plans to win the America ' s Cup at least two times and sail the S.O.R.C. With your determination, Ewen, we rest assured that you will accomplish all that you set out to do. Best of luck. JULIAN WONG ' ' It ' s love that makes the world go round. Anon Julian, whose real name is Wong Yat-Yuen, came from Hong Kong last year after completing two years work in a finance company while he was also tutoring two students. Julian hopes to take commerce at Dalhousie University and then return to Hong Kong. Julian has a wide range of interests and can easily adapt to a situation. His polite manner is certainly a note- worthy quality; I remember I once bumped into him and he remarked - Oh Sorry! . . .Thank you very much.
