We hope this year ' s copy provides you with an accurate cross-seCtion of the year ' s events, and even some from the year before. Many thanks must go to The Grammarian staff and all those who have assisted in the production of this edition. Special mention must go to the editors, Brigid Roscoe and Katherine Bishop, for the fine job they have done. Roger Baskett Neil McCulloch Assistant Editors Sometimes a student will have the privilege of meeting a teacher of a unique, extra-ordinary character. Memories of this teacher will remain with the student forever. We have such a teacher at the Halifax Grammer School. Year after year, this remarkable individual has dedicated himself to the school and to his students. He has put a great deal into providing his class with a trip to Louisbourg each year. Well, this fine man will be leaving us next year, thus, we respectfully dedicate this edition of The Grammarian to Mr. Ian Spencer for all his outstanding contributions to this school. Neil McCulloch Roger Baskett Assistant Editors Headmaster ' s Message To The Graduates: As we begin our second quarter century of existence, I feel that the Grammar School, much like its graduates, is coming of age. Both must face a future of unrest in Canada. Nobody likes belt-tightening but the days of instant luxury, gratification and satisfaction are now behind us. We have had an adolescence of carefreeness and now there is a future of dealing with reality. We shall need all our good work habits and all our self-confidence to see us through, but you the graduates have a head start. You are a select group chosen for your ability and the support your families feel you are worth. You have enjoyed perhaps the most dedicated teaching staff in the city and you yourselves have learned the meaning of work and the real rewards it affords. Life will not be easy, but for you the opportunities are greater. Make the most of them and good luck. Peter Montgomery Headmaster Back Row: Mrs. Kemp, Mile.

Submit all guesses to either Brigid Roscoe or Katherine Bishop in Upper 6. The first entry with 15 correct answers wins a copy of The Grammaria n 1984, Good luck! ! ! Editors ' Message This year has been a trying one for the Grammarian staff. After leaving last year ' s publisher we found ourselves searching for a new one in September. However, as this publisher was unable to complete the book, we had to repeat our search in February. We also encountered various problems with photo- graphy, and for this reason we are missing a few club pictures, however, we hope that you will enjoy this year ' s Grammarian despite this minor problem. These were definite inhibitions to production, but with the determination of the Grammarian staff, we are sure we will pull through. The Grammarian would not have been possible without the hard work of Minga O ' Brien, and the con- stant advice and encouragement of Dr. Chapman. We would like to wish Neil McCulloch and Roger Baskett the best of luck next year.

Percy Bysshe Shelley Ode to a Skylark Sabeena came to the Grammar School in grade seven and in these six years she has befriended many, revealing her smiling and sunny disposition to all. Always innovative, Sabeena likes to try her hand at many things. A stylish dresser, her bejewelled fingers and wrists are her trademarks. Her one fault is procrastination, but she gets everthing done eventually! Certainly, aca- demics are a prime concern of Sabeena ' s and if she is determined to succeed at anything, she will try very hard to do so. Sabeena holds the record for the most late arrivals at school in the mornings. We know when she has arrived as the familiar sound of her fast-paced walk resounds throughout the hallway. Always eager to help anyone out, Sabeena is often found at the forefront of all the action. She enjoys working with young children and many of them will remember her for her make-up artistry on their faces during Winter Carnival. Indeed, she is a valuable friend, one who is de- pendable in her friends ' time of need. As of yet, Sabeena is not entirely sure as to what career she will pursue. She would like to attend Dalhousie University next year and decide from there as to what she will do. Best of luck to you Sabeena, in whatever you undertake. Andrew Charles MacKenzie Allen It hung in the air much the way a brick doesn ' t. Douglas Adam Bombs Away The Police Joining us in Upper 1, Andrew quickly demonstrated his abilities, both aca- demically and in getting along with his classmates, and has since then contrib- uted in all respects to the identity of this class, which we are told, is not a typical batch of graduating students. Typical or not, our lunch-time antics, including food fights and chair architecture, are by no means activities un- known to Andrew. In addition, his scientific knowledge and common sense make him a valuable participant in science classes, or just lunch-hour theoreti- cal discussion. In everything, Andrew sets a high standard for himself (yes, even the food fights), striving always for excellence. One should be able to find him racking up the 90 ' s while studying science at Dalhousie next year. What- ever he decides to do, he will undoubtedly enjoy success. 12 Eric Patrick Alsembach Diplomacy is to do, and say the nastiest thing in the nicest way. Isaac Goldberg It is with an unassuming, quiet and gentle manner with which Eric confronts one. It is only while arguing, which he does all the time , in extra-curricular activities, and French class that any violent streak is seen. Eric ' s ability to produce a high-speed babble in French class usually blows the teacher off her feet and obliges the students to hang onto their seats. Wagging his little finger in the teacher ' s face, Eric makes sure that they understand that his opinions are not to be disregarded or taken too lightly, for he is very opinionated. One side of Eric is that when he is angry or nervous it is wise to keep a distance as he is liable to attack or mutter a string of unintelligible French curses. His friends have all learned to distinguish between his various moods, most of those thankfully being happy ones. His tendency to play the joker is usually witnessed in jokes and pranks he plays on others. Indeed, very proud of his European nationality and heritage, his character tends to consist of opposite extremes, so that one often finds it difficult to un- derstand everything about him. Conversely, Eric cannot always understand everything about his friends! Indeed, this soft-spoken Belgian has brought vrai European je ne sais quoi to the Grammar School. However, in his normal moods, he is a great friend! We hope that Eric finds gratification in beginning his university year. Good luck Eric! Wayne Merrill Aspinall Ready to shake the scheme of things. David Bowie (Word on a Wing) Wayne entered the Grammar School in Grade seven, making quite an im- pression on the students and teachers. He holds two H.G.S. records; most notes sent home, and most notes torn up. Wayne ' s interests include his Honda 250, Yamaha 350, David Bowie music, watching M.A.S.H., and chasing Convent girls. Wayne is also interested in money; in Grade eleven he was the French Exchange Treasurer, and this year he was narrowly defeated for Student Coun- cil Treasurer. Wayne also, along with Patrick Roscoe, Bruce MacGregor and Mr. Keirstead endeavoured into quick rich schemes including 6-49 lottery tickets. After this year, Wayne plans to go to Dalhousie and study Computer Science, after which he plans to become a police officer. His enterprising skills will undoubtedly bring him much success in the future. Good luck, Wayne Aspinall. Kirsten Marie Beckett To know is nothing at all, to imagine is everything. Anatole France Kirsten has been a member of our class for 10 years, coming to us in Grade 3. A genuinely good-natured girl, her interests range from boating and skiing, to reading, which is Kirtsten ' s main interest. Her tastes in literature range from the latest science fiction to the earliest Egyptian myths, and she can usually be found in the library, pondering over her latest book. Kirsten plans to pursue a career in journalism next year at King ' s, and we all wish her the best of luck. Sheela Marisa Bhattacharyya A good education is the next best thing to a pushy mother. Peanuts Charles Schulz She signs her name Sheela B., not having enough time to write out her full last name while others just don ' t dare attempt to spell it! An outgoing person, Sheela has many friends, people she knows from each of the different schools she has attended. Everywhere she goes, she runs off a multitude of times to see someone she knows. She ' scoots ' about town in a little red Honda, commuting from Dartmouth to Halifax every morning. Sheela came to the Grammar School in grade twelve and has adjusted very well to the swing of things . Her tall person is seen travelling up and down the halls, from library to classroom, as she studies for tests or does other home- work. Always ready to help others, she is especially in demand before biology tests, as a flood of people ask for her help in their studies. Her involvement in this year ' s junior volleyball club was greatly appreciated and an experience we, (N.B. and S.A.), are sure she will not forget(?!). Sheela can hold her own against anyone in a class discussion, her conversational talents being of great value at such times! In these discussions, or in class presentations, she is never unprepared, having diligently done a great deal of research into whatever the subject area in question. With such talents, we are sure that Sheela will do her best in whatever field of study she chooses. Best of luck! Nadine Bishop For to define true madness What is ' t but to be nothing else but mad. Shakespeare Hamlet A glimpse of neon-colored stockings. A flash of an enigmatic smile. A toss of those dangly bizarre earrings and one is certain one is experiencing the marvel of . . . Nadine. The whole class agrees that Nadine is an indispensable member of our class; a little madness is generally appreciated by all, and Nadine ' s infectious giggle makes life at the trendiest spot in town slightly more bear- able. Lest someone think that Nadine is all fun and games, it might be worth- while to attempt to enumerate Nadine ' s more serious achievements. She has had her place firmly fixed on the honour roll for all her senior years at H.G.S., and was the innovative editor of The Grammarian in Grade 11. Basketball is one of Nadine ' s passions and nothing quite beats the sight of Nadine heading for a lay-up. As of September next year, Nadine will be found pursuing her interests in the Arts at Dalhousie. We wish you all the best and know you shall excell in all you undertake. Jane Lois Fairhurst The door to happiness opens outward. Soren Aady Kierkegaard Jane Fairhurst has been at the school since Grade 1, making her one of the few graduating with that honour(?). Always on the move, Jane somehow finds time to sandwich an interest in the classics and the arts between skiing, swimming, and, of course, schoolwork. A good-natured girl, always ready with a smile, she has in previous years been a member of several volunteer groups, including avid support of the Y.M.C.A.. Next year she plans to attend Dalhousie Univer- sity where she will pursue a career in nursing. All the best to a good friend. Catherine Michelle Hatt The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. Thomas Henry Huxley Cathy came to us two years ago, and since then has become a valuable asset to our class. Her interests range from sailing, swimming and skiing to pursu- ing what she calls an intellectual edge . A cheery soul, she is always willing to contribute her opinions in class, and when not doing her schoolwork, can be seen travelling throughout the city in her little blue car. She plans to spend this summer lifeguarding, after which she is off to Carleton to pursue a career in journalism. It is with much regret that we see her leave: Goodbye and good luck. 14 William Lonsdale Holland I wish it, I command it. Let my will take the place of a reason. Jurenal One might think H.G.S. would be tired of Lon. Not so. True, it sags slightly when he makes his bounding leaps through the halls, but in the seven and a half years he has attended the school, H.G.S. and her occupants have slowly come to appreciate Lon ' s eager approach. His gregarious manner and the fact that he is always ready to jump into something, has put Lon into the heart of the class. His nickname, Kermit the Lover (given to him by a sagacious Frenchman) makes one wonder, is it the structure of his face and the greenish tinge of his skin that has earned him this name? Or could it perhaps be his intimate knowl- edge of the French and their customs? Indeed it is Lon ' s goal to become more familiar with the French, their language, that is. He plans to continue his study in a provincial university, and we wish him the best of luck. Benno Herbert Josef Lang Give ear unto the sailor who unto you will show his case. M. Parker A look into his big baby blues is enough to mesmorize any female, and his manner of speech is enough to make her think. His diction withstanding, Benno I has his share of the admiring throng. Could it be the fact that he is a pheno- menal jock (sailing, skiing, basketball and windsurfing to name a few), or is it simply his Austrian charm? Surely it couldn ' t be his unique dissecting I methods in Bio. II. One can never be quite sure what it is that Benno has got, but it must be something, as he has made quite an impact on H.G.S. in a short three j years. One might get the impression that the majority of Senno ' s time is spent on . . . I shall we say, extracurricular activities. Not so. Benno borders on becoming an academic keener as his marks will attest. He has the ability (not to mention the vocabulary) to turn a paragraph into three pages (to the dismay of the teachers). In short, Benno has been an innovative and valuable member of our [class. He plans to go into medicine and the class has no doubt that he and his [baby blues will to far. Nicholas John Longhurst The greater a philosopher a man is, the more difficult it is for him to answer the foolish questions of common people. Henryk Sienkiewicz Walking into the upper six classroom, a fellow is in the background meditat- ing on some unknown subject. His mind is wandering. Your first reaction, off hand, is that he is a serious and timid student. However, as soon as your back is turned you hear Beethoven ' s fifth symphony being massacred on the piano. Turning, you see this fellow with gleaming eyes and a capricious smile. As soon as you recover from this sudden change, the blackboard becomes animated with cartoon representations of Napoleon and his brave soldiers. Nick ' s hand at drawing is that of a mage crafting his art. Woven into all of this, is Nick ' s unusual sense of humour which is appreciated by his companions and friends. Nicholas can also prove to be an excellent and sincere friend which is appre- ciated at all times. Best of luck wherever you may go. 15 Bruce William MacGregor Take a walk on the wildside. Lou Reed It is said that persistence has its rewards. This must be true in Bruce ' s case; after circulating through numerous schools, none of which would keep him, he finally settled down to spend his last two years of high school at H.G.S. Bruce is an accomplished athlete: he is a seasoned golf player, he skis downhill a little, is one of the best hockey players in his league, and has become, much to the chagrin of his friends, a very good squash player. Because of his interest in hockey he initiated the new floor hockey club (with a little help). But we ' ll best remember Bruce as one never to keep his opinion to himself no matter what the subject may be: history, sports, politics, of whether such ' n such band ' s music is worth being listened to by anyone higher on the evolutionary scale than a wombat. Bruce spent last summer at the College de Trois Rivieres taking french im- mersion classes (or so his parents think) and wishes to return to Montreal this summer. Bruce intends to apply for hockey scholarships in the States next year. Meanwhile, he wishes to attend Dalhousie or some other local university, aiming towards becoming a lawyer specializing in the law of the sea. He even made some mention of politics in his future . . . God help us. Well, good luck anyway, Bruce, and remember who your friends were. Gary Tat-Hing Ng Knowledge has no limits. Chinese proverb Gary, since his arrival at H.G.S., has been improving his language skills constantly and excelling in mathematics. He enjoys sports, especially basket- ball, badminton, skating and table-tennis. Gary has a cheerful disposition and contributes greatly to our class. He will take sciences next year at university, where he is sure to do well. Best of luck. Richard Matthew Finn O ' Brien Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning, Good liquor, I stoutly maintain Gives genius a better discerning. Oliver Goldsmith Due to his lively and open manner Finn has earned many friends in the school since his arrival in Grade 10. He participates with passion in school events and is known to brighten up the dullest days, even when the wash-ups become bothersome or the food scarce. On weekends, Finn likes pretending he is in a Porsche, he goes windsurfing, skiing, or, if feeling especially enthusiastic, goes woodcutting. Academically Finn is interested in the Arts and Biology, which he will most likely go on to study in University. His great love of the Germans and their language will inevitably lead him to travel there, and possibly amongst places in Ireland. We will all remember Finn and wish him the best of luck. 16 Benedict Patrick Derry O ' Halloran Old clothes do not a tortured artist make. Anon. Ben has been a student at the Halifax Grammar School since Prep 2. During his years at H.G.S. he has established himself as a fine student and a good friend. His main interests are skiing (both downhill and cross country), run- ning, skateboarding and music. Ben is also extremely busy at school. As Stu- dent Council President he has shown his leadership ability in organizing a highly successful Winter Carnival. His involvement at school does not stop there. Ben is a member of the Senior Soccer team, president of the running club, president of the debating club, and still manages to obtain a very high academic standard. Ben has no definite plans for next year, however success will always be with him. Best of luck in the future. William Tuck Kin Poon ' If man had a sense of proportion, he would give up. William is a first class savant in every field from micro-electronics to bad- minton. He has brought the study of air-drums to a new height at the Grammar School and is sure to buy out Rush when his numerous business ventures finally reap the profit they deserve. William ' s graphic descriptions of the sub- tleties of the arts of sports and calculus can be heard anywhere in the school. William is a studious Grade 12 student whose serious competitive spirit has touched on all of his curriculum. He has contributed to the endeavours of Grade 12 leadership in the fields of badminton and table tennis. His business ventures have established him as an exponent of the Malaysian industrial front. The wide range of interests which he has pursued in the past have narrowed upon the field of Commerce. David Patrick Roscoe I ' m home lost my job and incurably ill. You think this is easy, realism? David Bowie Definitely one of the more colourful members of the class, Patrick will not soon be forgotten by his classmates. He takes an interest in many subjects and surprises everyone by coming up with an interesting idea on the philosophy of Hegel to the impressionistic art of Manet and Monet. As such he has developed many of his own opinions in a variety of fields, is quick in their defence and stubborn in their upholding. Renowned for his quick wit, Patrick adds liveli- ness to daily classes, lunchtime relaxation and annual class Christmas plays. Indeed, many have heard his witty riposts during debate or in this year ' s model Parliament as the member from Purgatory. His favourite sayings are an em- phatic indeed or damn right , expressed in agreement with any anti- capitalist remark. He is the class ' resident D.J., broadcasting tasteful music over the Dalhousie students ' radio station. Patrick ' s main interest is music. His piano playing resounds throughout the upper school at lunchtime, while the imaginary electric guitar comes into use during classes or while he listens to the radio. Dreams of being Ziggy Incarnate II occupy half of his attention, while the threatre and aspirations of being an actor occupy the other half. Certainly, half a page cannot testify to twelve H.G.S. years of Patrick ' s memorable antics. With his self-confidence, persua- siveness, openness and many talents, one can have every confidence that he will strive to fulfill his dreams and succeed. The Grinch wishes you luck. Vivien Shiao Wai Kuen Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. Samuel Butler Vivien is a real asset to our class. She comes to us from far-away Hong-Kong, but has had no problems adjusting to our lifestyle. An excellent student, she hopes to attend university here in North America. Vivien enjoys, as well, a number of pastimes including swimming, skating, badminton, stamp- collecting, and, as she says, thinking . Good luck, Vivien, and keep smiling. Robert Woodcliffe Stairs Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear Walk hand in hand. Neil Peart It is well known, of course, that the father of your country could never tell a lie. We Canadians find it difficult to lie about the father of our country. To put it bluntly, he was a drunkard. And quite frankly, Sam, nobody in this chill and austere land really gives a damn. Pierre Berton, to his American friend, Sam . Robert has attended H.G.S. for eight years, during which he has strongly influenced both his class and the entire school. Despite his running commentar- ies in class and his cheerful attitude towards work, Rob studies vigorously and maintains a high academic average. His aptitude for mathematics and science will stand him in good stead when he takes Engineering at Dalhousie next year. Rob ' s extra-curricular activities include waterskiing, sailing and percussion. His musical talents have brought him a position in a band and the admiration of his instructors. Rob has an outgoing personality and makes friends easily; we are sure he has good years of university ahead of him. Jonas Paul Steffan The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. Oscar Wilde Jonas is by no means a newcomer at H.G.S.. His five years at the school have made him an irreplacable member of a rather eccentric graduating class. Un- like certain loud-mouthed members of Upper 6, Jonas sits quietly in the class- room, calmly observing the world as it cruises by, and at the same time philos- ophizing about the ' deeper ' things in life. Jonas ' s gentle manner, generosity and good-humoured nature have earned him respect and many friends amongst his classmates. He is a fine athlete whose agility in running is unequalled in speed and style. He is a keen windsurfer and downhill skiier, a stamp collecting fa- natic and also a genius in lego architecture. Jonas plans to attend the Foundation Year Program at Kings College where he ' s bound to do well and perhaps begin a career in philosophy! Best of luck, Jone, we ' re gonna miss ya. Elmer Ashok Thirumurthi He who doesn ' t lose his wits over certain things has no wits to lose. Emilia Galotti One easily recognizes Elmer through the greatest of crowds. First of all, Elmer has not yet attained the state of color-coordination. Secondly, he looks like a polar bear walking around with all his sweaters. Besides Elmer ' s eternal smile, he is known for his legendary disagreements with Patrick about you name it , which usually result in driving the students of Upper 6 nuts. Walking by the Upper 6 classroom, you may hear a loud conversation or argument, in which Elmer ' s voice is always heard. Elmer ' s joy in expressing his viewpoints are always interesting and to the point. Besides that, Elmer ' s visible fanatacism of being a class jock makes him a humourous fellow. Elmer ' s greatest quality is his ability to find a fault in almost everything, and turn it into something comical. His friends and classmates would certainly agree that this is what makes Elmer a good and solid friend. Best of luck in thy future. Andrew Roy Harry Turner One moment now may give us more than years of toiling reason. William Wordsworth Andrew Turner came to H.G.S. in Grade 6. Since then he has contributed both to the character of his class and of the school in general. Andrew is highly capable academically, consistently earning a place on the honour roll at Grad- uation. Andrew is also an able sportsman, having been involved in school bas- ketball and soccer teams, and is the present Captain of Royals. His leadership abilities are further demonstrated in his work as the Upper six class represen- tative on Student Council. Andrew ' s realistic and straightforward approach to his studies stands out in the class, and his sense of humour has brought smiles to the faces of all his classmates, often at times when there seemed to be the least to smile about. Next year Andrew will begin a science degree at Dal- housie, aiming towards a career in medicine. Kenneth Albert Wood ' Repent, Harlequin, ' said the Ticktockman. Harlan Ellison Since Ken came to the school in Grade 11 he has become blonder. His joi de vivre and fascinating driving habits have been a welcome (and sometimes nec- essary) addition to the class. Apart from being our resident Beau Brummel, Ken is a far more intellectual student than his Mickey Mouse apparel would sug- gest. He is an extremely adept computer programmer, an occasionally eloquent philosopher, a vehement defender of his ideas and a diligent party-goer. Ken ' s constant interest in literature, and, particularly the short story, have paid off well; in a provincial short story contest Ken received Honourable Mention. Ken is also no slouch as an actor. His particularly convincing portrayal of Henry Drummond in the school ' s production of Inherit the Wind will not soon be for- gotten, and Ken is currently working in the capacity of playwright, co-writing a three-person drama with classmate, Pat Roscoe.

The Prep school meet was organized by Upper 4 (this year ' s class of Upper 5). Everyone enjoyed the rigorous competition and also the chance to bask in the sun, but where the Upper school meet was con- cerned, to freeze in the dismal weather. Despite the weather conditions, how- ever, members of Royals, Acadia and Glooscap competed in such events as high jump, long jump, shot put, triple jump, various running events, and in the Prep school, three-legged races and egg and spoon races. The success of Track and Field was mainly due to the hard work and effort on behalf of the students and teachers, especially Mr. Logan. Royals, as usual, were victorious in both the Prep and Upper school meets. Hopefully, next year ' s Track and Field will be as successful as that of 1983. Once again, appreciation is extended to all those who worked so hard to make Track and Field possible. Andrew Turner 47 48 Drama 83 The drama club of 1983 ambitiously undertook the production of Edmond Rostand ' s Cyrano de Bergerac. The hero of the play was Cyrano, a gallant swordsman and a gifted poet, who, within minutes, stole the hearts of his au- dience. Unfortunately, Cyrano was endowed with a rather large nose which rendered him ugly to all those who looked upon him, including his beloved Roxanne. The events that followed were touching, yet often hilarious as Cyrano eloquently expressed his love for Roxanne through the handsome but intellect- ually inept Christian. The play was brought to life by a large team of actors, actresses, designers, and of course, our director, Mrs. Meinertzhagen, all of whom were intent on presenting the play in the best possible light. Surprisingly, actions that often seem natural and spontaneous on stage have to be worked out painstakingly during countless hours of rehearsal. We were fortunate to have actor and direc- tor John Dunsworth of Neptune Theatre attend and offer his helpful criticisms during rehearsals. He also conducted acting workshops which served to im- prove our self-confidence as actors and actresses as well as providing an outlet for the exhibitionists amongst us. The cast performed the play twice and repeated the popular romantic scene with Roxanne and Christian, and Cyrano ' s valiant sword fight with one of his rivals at Open House and in the N.S. High School Drama Festival. I hope that all those who participated in drama last year profited as much as I feel I did and enjoyed themselves as thoroughly.

I bought a kitten and a puppy. When the year was over I went back to school. The second day, the homework was to bring all your animals to school, unless you didn ' t have any animals to bring to school. What a day we had! We had thousands of animals! We each had our own room. Only three people were allowed in a room at a time. I had a lovely time! And the teacher said we could do this once a week. Life at school was lovely! I loved going to school. I wish the school would let us do that. And I ' m still waiting for them to let my class do it. The End. Sarah W.

We had a great time, but then it was time to go home. We had a big fight because they wanted us to stay. Let us go home. Thank you King Brian. Bye. When we got home my Mom was looking for us. She was not mad. We ate supper. Then we drove Matthew home. Douglas Penick P. 3 Round Is Round is the moon that shines in the night, but not all the time.

My cat is cute. That ' s why I called her Boots. She climbs trees and tries to catch fleas. Sometimes she ' s bad and I get mad! She bites with all her might. That ' s all for now, so I ' ll give a little bow. Allyson Franklin P. 3 Prep 4 to Prep 6 The Clash I came out the side door of the school. It was a dull day, but in the air there seemed to be a lingering atmosphere of revenge. Trish, Mary, Joan and Sandra were playing the new game Mary had made up, called Super Ball . They stopped playing when they saw me. Can I play? I asked. No way! They all said at once. I walked off. I don ' t know why, but I felt stubborn. So a few minutes later I came back and walked right into the middle of their game. When they had stopped I asked, Why can ' t I play? Whispers. Trish said, Because we don ' t want you to. I asked why, and Trish started to boil over. Look she said, If I start to be mean to you, you ' ll go and tell, and the teachers will be on your side ' cause you have crutches and no one will be on my side. That ' s right! I said, No one will be on your side after all the things you ' ve done to people. Inside my head a little voice was telling me to remove myself from their game and forget all about it, but the problem was I also heard another voice telling me to sort it out there and now. I was silly. I decided to sort it out. Get out of our game, Nora. Trish shouted. Okay, I ' m leaving, can ' t you see? Are you blind or something? Not any more blind than you ' re smart Joan said. Oh leave me alone! I retorted. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! they all jeered at me. I walked off, thinking: Why did I do that? Maybe I just wanted Trish to give in. Later, in the hall, I met Trish, Mary, Joan and Sandra. I ' ll make a deal with you, I said, You leave me alone and I ' ll leave you alone. Forget it , said Trish nastily. I realized I wasn ' t going to get anywhere and I started to leave. They all started to laugh at me. I guess they thought I ' d been beaten. I stopped and ran back towards them to show I wasn ' t. When Trish saw me coming, she shouted: Don ' t you dare hit me with those , meaning my crutches. I held my crutches out in front of me to protect myself. Trish started to kick and I kicked back and then ran off. Later she said, I was only defending myself. Gee! What a thing to say! I felt really frustrated, which is how I always feel after a clash with HER! Nova Bednarski P. 6 1st prize Winter Winter is that time of year When snow blankets the earth. The rabbits leave their Three-toed tracks; The deer blend with branches, Avoiding the guns of hunters. The bear, lazy and fat. Snoozes in his cozy cave. Winter is that time of year When skiers fly over slopes, The sledders rollercoast across hills. The skaters carve pictures In the ice of lakes. Winter is that time of year When snowball fights are fought From the safety of the forts. And snowmen stand on guard at night, Wearing bowler hats and scarves. Sniffing the air through carrots. Winter is that time of year When Santa ' s in the air In the tinkle of bells And the twinkle of stars And the notes of a Christmas card. Winter is a wonderful time of year! Davis Webb P. 5 2nd prize Dreams When I ' m asleep I often dream of things I think I might see. Such as walking books and talking cakes. And many other vertebrates. But extra slumber for an hour has my mind racing at full power. When I ' m dreaming at full steam my thoughts are often about ice cream. When I dream of boats that sink I often think I need a shrink. But dreams are elusive to the eye the ice cream ' s off — and so am I! Paui Baskett P. 5 3rd prize You ' re Barking up the Wrong Tree Once upon a time, there was dog. He wasn ' t the greatest hunter because he was nearsighted, but he enjoyed it. One fine spring day, as he was out dragging his unwilling master around the park, he spotted a cat. The dog, despite the fact that he wasn ' t the greatest hunter, was enthusiastic; so he ran off, leaving his unwilling master behind. He was gaining on the cat bit by bit, but finally the cat became tired of running, and scampered up a tree. The dog, being nearsighted, couldn ' t make out which tree the cat was in, so, he decided on barking at the shortest one. Unfortunately, that tree had a bees nest in it. The nearsighted dog ' s barking disturbed the bees, and he was stung by several. While the dog was yelping with pain, the cat snuck away. From the distance he called YOU ' RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE , and disappeared over the horizon. 60 Emily Doolittle P. 6 Honorable Mention Gold The leaves are gold, but they can ' t stay, Winter is coming and they will go away.

The moon soon rose And began to pour It ' s silver moonbeams On the pitch-black floor. The people were all Asleep in their beds, With the covers pulled snugly Up to their heads. No people to stroke him, And give him a pat. They were all alone, The moon and the cat.

Nights growing long Flowers are dying Leaves falling down, winter is coming ' tis becoming cold in town. Johannes Graham P. 6 Honourable Mention 62 My Pet My lovely cat of great value. I took good care of it ' till it grew up. One day, early in the morning. The rain was falling heavily, I didn ' t know it was out playing. It got stocked on the tree. And was beaten by the rain. When I noticed that it wasn ' t around, I went out, and saw it on the tree. I climbed the tree to get it. And it was terribly shaking. I took it into the house, and gave it a very warm milk. It got better before midnight. Ever since then. We became good friends. And I never left it all alone. Felix Omolayole P. 5 Honourable Mention Old Socks I have a dog named Sacha and she enjoys carrying clothing around in her mouth especially old socks. Sacha ' s favorite trick is pulling the socks right off your feet if you happen to be sitting without your shoes on. Most of the time she puts holes in the socks when she tugs. Sacha finds this amusing and the older the socks the more she enjoys herself. When friends visit, Sacha has a habit of taking shoes, hats, gloves, sweaters and of course, their socks. Old socks really move around in our house because sometimes we find socks hidden by our dog, on a bed, under a bed, and even sometimes outside. Everytime we leave our dog and then when we return, she is always at the front door greeting us with at least one pair of old socks in her mouth. Some dogs think bones are the best, but in our house old socks are the winner. Janie Gould P. 5 Honourable Mention 63 Upper 1 to 3 Well Kept Secret Appearances are deceiving. For he was well built and handsome. But for some reason. His personality did not fit.

No one knew he was so injured. Internally. David Robertson U. 3 1st prize Loneliness Undistinguishable against the crowd. Dull, and bland and barely heard.

Laura Hooper U. 3 2nd prize The Stray A stray cat silently stalks the night. Through mystical whirls of fog. His radiant eye, like a beacon. Illuminates the path ahead. Alone on a trek to nowhere. He haults for food and lodging. In dank deserted alleys, Scrounging for food. In garbage ca ns. Comes across an inhabitant Another wanderer such as he A tough tenacious feline, Much like the one who galled his missing eye. Anxious to leave he surreptitiously slinks Into the silence of night. Familiar pavement under paw He searches for houses that welcome him With scraps, a saucer of milk And sometimes a comforting warmth. He takes up a new name at every place Mephistopheles, Horatio, Blackie or Garfield. He could be what each wanted for a time But he is a loner Preferring with daybreak Anonimity. 64 Jonathan Cook U. 1 3rd prize The Panther He ' s long black and vicious.

One day Rupert was playing, with a boy down the block, And the boy was playing near the bridge. Until Rupert pushed him off.

He watched sparks for eight hours. A day in November he was summoned; Told the company needed to cut back. He took off his mask. Outside was odd. He hadn ' t been outside downtown For awhile; when rush-hour existed only. Morning air was good for the lungs. Sparks had always scared him. A transport of imports passed. Marvin was a messy boy his face everlastingly streaked his shoes he always left untied his clothes eternally reeked he had a kind of clumsy dignity as he strolled in ignorant bliss a trail of dirt he left behind him with several coat buttons amiss as the world came crashing down around him he kept his innocence he never seemed to notice all the things over which he tripped.

Alison Murray U. 2 Honorable Mention What Happened This Time He had been drinking that night. That wasn ' t anything new, but what was going to happen would be new, to his whole family. He had left the bar at 1:30 in the morning. He got home at about 2:25 and as he always did, went to bed to sleep it off. They all got up, the children went to school, and he and his wife went to work. It was at about 6:30, while they were having their dinner, there was a knock on the door. He got up to answer it and the whole family could hear them talking. When they heard it was the police they knew what had happenec they were all praying that it hadn ' t, but deep in their minds they knew what it was. They were right, the next day on the third page of the paper, in big black letters. Hit and Run. Three People Killed, Drunk Driver. Mark Hoffer-Wathen U. 2 Honorable Mention By What, By Whom, is the Deer Chased? To the left, to the right, the head moves sharply. Antlers high, neck straight. A twig, Snap!

No, want for the head, the head which looks left and right. He stops. Looks straight, and darts away. Followed, by what, by whom? By what? By whom? Man. Asad Wali U. 3 Honorable Mention To Kill a Spider See the little spider, crawling up the wall, should I smash his head in or should I make him fall. His hairy legs and upward walk are very plain to the eye but if 1 pulled his legs off do you think he ' d die? He spins his web up in a corner where no one will think to look but I spy his silky trap and crush it with my book. I see his maddened eyes staring down at me, and he scurries across the ceiling I wonder where he could be? Perhaps he ' s hiding in the carpet, or maybe behind the chair when I find the little menace I ' ll give him quite the scare. Just then I saw a tiny movement on my bedroom floor, and I spun around just in time to see him go up the door. I ' ve got you now my little friend there ' s no escape for you I snatched him down from the door and covered him in glue. It ' s all over 1 said to him and chuckled in a whisper as I dropped him in the vanilla milkshake of my bratty little sister. Nobody Seems to Care Entering the Bronx on a late night. The destination; Manhattan apartment. Coming around one turn and then seeing it. All the apartments blown off at the top, all that dead space. All the charcoaled windows, looking like they just came from World War II. The alleys are black, with their cats and garbage cans. You drive past all the broken, abandoned cars in the ditches. Why doesn ' t anybody clean those up? You look ahead and see the lights, action and beauty at Manhattan. You wonder about the people who used to live in these old apartments or still do. You enter Manhattan and see the Pan Am building with all its lights, the limos everywhere. You wonder about 114th and 116th Streets. What about the drugs, murders and vandalism? Nobody seems to care as long as they stay on there side of the court, there won ' t be any reason to care. Mike Hopkins U. 3 Honorable Mention Christy Nicholson U. 2 Honorable Mention The Stallion Red was the fire that burned in him and strong in his heart range the will to win But red wasn ' t the color of the blood in his veins for his blood as blue from his ancestors strain Red were the flowers in his victory wreath The memory of him to the world he ' s bequeath. Live in the Wind The crisp leaves form a path, long after all life stills, a reflection on the water, that ' s it. Alive is the imagination, freedom is for each, something in the wind, silence encloses the world. A rush, a chase, a prize, warm, savoury blood, a carcass left, then a howl, the wolf is proved. Betsy Hobbs U. 3 David Robertson U. 3 The Eagle Nothing Lasts Forever It ' s as clear as glass. Shiny as a diamond And sparkling as crystal. It glistens in the light And shimmers at night Hanging on trees. Replacing leaves. One of its beauties as its mystery — Countless shapes and sizes Simply mesmerize. Shining in the hot sun It looks so delicate yet so strong. Then suddenly . . . There is a drip ... And yet one more . . . The beautiful icicle is being transformed. Soon it will have disappeared — settling in the soft snow. He soars among the clouds keeper of the sky silence envelopes him like a shroud. His dark wings now are crimson stained a shot has pierced the sky he is never to reign again. Betsy Hobbs U. 3 Beth Medjuck U. 3 68 Upper 4 to 6 Without A Trace A blood-red LED glows faintly in the corner of the darkened office. The silence broken only by an occasional muffled hum from within the machine. It sits alone on its stainless steel bench, silently waiting. Nearby lies a memo pad captioned From the desk of Dr. G. P. Bates MD marked with a few scribbles leftover from the day ' s data processing. Many miles away, a man sits alone, reaching for a phone in the twilight, his stone face lit up by the glow of a CRT. He carefully dials a number, throws a few switches, then waits for some response on the screen. CURRENT HOSPITAL REQUEST — DATA LINE BUSY. PLEASE STAND BY. Damn, it ' s still busy, mumbled the man to himself realizing that he would have to wait even longer. He glanced at his watch — 01:34 — eyes weary from many late nights. Another sip of coffee, and his mind slipped into deeper thought. He looked over the list of possible access codes that he had compiled; the name of the doctor, his wife ' s name, the name of their son . . . and other information he had found on Mr. Bates. His eyes lifted to see the moon shine through the slats of the half-closed blinds. Beyond the cool gray of the machine, silhouettes of wind-blown trees cut shadows in the fog. His fingers rested idly at the keyboard — silently waiting. The glow changed ever so slightly as a new message appeared on the screen. TASK COM- PLETED. HELLO DR. BATES. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU? followed by a menu of options to be selected. The man stared in disbelief. There ' s no security clearance. Tsk. Tsk. Doctor how careless, he thought aloud as he mused over an explanation. He figured that the doctor must have installed an unauthorized telephone connection to the office system so that he could do some of the work at home. This was not an uncommon occurrence since the development of the centralized MED system which was now installed in most hospitals to speed up diagnostics and patient processing by eliminating the need for mountains of paperwork. His eyes skimmed over the glowing letters. Uh huh, he muttered as he pushed several keys. The screen re- sponded with a pa.rtial list of patients currently on file. He scanned the list for any familiar names. Better copy some of this just in case, he thought to himself, knowing that the informa- tion would bring a good price. The machine blindly obeyed. He pushed a few more keys, their soft clicks echoing through the quiet. The screen cleared, and then a single title appeared in phosphorous green, EDITING PATIENT FILE — E NTER PATIENT NAME . The man ' s fingers expertly worked over the keyboard, his eyes reflecting the glare of the screen, like a knife blade in the moonlight. The machine responded to his every move, silently changing a few bits of data. Then upon completing his task he left the system as he had entered — without a trace. He downed the remaining coffee, got up from the padded chair, looked about the messy apartment, then went to bed satisfied with the night ' s work. The sun began to set as the man walked up the stairs, fumbling with his keys along the way. He stopped momentarily to read the headline of the evening newspaper, Another Mysterious Death At Bayside General . He smiled a smile of a job well done, then went inside. There would be a cheque in the mail tomorrow. Ken Wood U.6 It was warmer today. The type of crisp, thawing day that reminds me of Boston in March. The snow is gone except for flakes clinging to bushes. The ice still nestles by the curve. Streets and trees are grey and white after ice, snow and salt. The sun is now covered by the wispy, wooly clouds. It ' s colder now. The moon glows from behind the misty curtain of cloud. The wind whistles around the house. Grandpa whistles downstairs by the radiator. Walter Kemp U. 4 Life ' s Seasons The genesis of cycle, the spring of new life, where flowers do blossom, shoots take shape. The new warmth, off-spring of man and wife, the only reward of lover ' s escape. Time beckons, dues of growth are paid, in the heat of activity, maturity makes claim. Here awaited summer ' s dreams are made, for some opportunity, others future ' s blame. Then you fall into that noble age, where respect is due, let wisdom reign. And then cross another leaf, another page, in the testament of life, the forthcoming pain. The revelation is but hard and cold, and life is sheltered, wrapped alone. Helplessly shunned to live with the old, the seasons end, death ' s chill unknown. Ou est I ' erreur? Le bois qui reste tranquille. Qui cache le feu pour la soir6e; II tend les bras de chaleur. And so the seasons change, life ' s constant flow, through months, conception till death. Expectancy in spring, flowers sudden glow, and the cold winter past I will forget. Roger Mills. U. 5 La Flamme qui a la joie de vivre; son ame danse comme la lumi6re: quand il meurt, les cindres vivent encore: 9a c ' est le pech6.

Shall I go this way or be radical — a non-conformist — and go in the opposite direction, but then, I might go against the traffic. So maybe I ' ll just sit here and wait, on the yellow line, where it ' s safe, and yellow. . . . Laurel Weldon U. 5 Hypocracy The shadows drew hard upon the state; and behind the iron curtain was life; its halls are never empty, because its habitants never sleep and thousands of miles away . . . The sun rises on the romanesque halls; of supreme justice and many awake to the grind of a weekday ... but those who labour here, awake to their distruction, eventually. Both powers whetting their swords of peace. Hypocracy. Liam Murphy U. 4 They ' ve taken my pride. They ' ve taken my joys. They ' ve gone and broken, Everyone of my toys. They won ' t let me out. They won ' t let me in, I ' ve chance to do nothing. Yet they say that I sin Their poison invades me, I gag and I cough. Please stop the world, I want to get off. Chris Robertson U. 4 A Friendly Reach There comes a time, when life feels tragic, when everything is wrong and all seems lost. There comes a time, when you have lost the magic, and in yourself you have no trust. That ' s the time to reach for a friend, to seek his comfort and aid. To deal with the problems you could not mend, and brighten as your problem fade. Then suddenly, nothing longer seems a threat, putting behind you, the horrible time you had to spend. But when the beauty is restored, please don ' t forget, the care of a loving friend. Roger Mills. U. 5 Vision I used to have a golden cloud, a halo, around my head. It hindered my vision. So, using a ribbon red, ruby red, I tied it back. Laurel Weldon U. 5 Hey, man I ' ve been around I ' ve seen the poverty in every town You think you got it tough in this first rate country where the government will dish out whatever your achin ' that ' s right laugh if you want but I know the people who die from starvation. like your lunch today just think how much you just threw away with out a care or without a thought of people like them who haven ' t got the smarts It ' s not their fault they have no knowledge of what it ' s like to be pampered and spoiled Why not check out the third world countries where the fruit from the tree is what they know And that it ' s good just to be full You say money is what you need Why these people don ' t know what that means swap a chicken or a goat or whatever they might need to keep them alive to the next meal so next time maybe don ' t complain you ' ve got it good try to keep it that way. David Keith U. 4 Mercenary Insanity Children screaming in the darkness. I can see only through blood. The blood spilled When a life is cut short By violence. The children are dying, A world ' s hope lies bleeding On the ground; Torn. A torch is lit. Thousands of . . . things Are strewn Like clockwork dolls. Broken . . . Broken ... Broken . . . The whine of engines Screaming like the children In my mind. All my broken thoughts . . . Staggering across a blood red landscape. With silent creatures rising from the ground. A cymbal clanging, A discord of life, Death. The jazz blue trees Dance to the music played by the orange sky; Dancing on a nightmare floor of children ' s Suffering faces. Their cries are a counterpoint to the Platinum moon ' s singing. The gangrenous creatures Look at my out-of-place visage, White blank in a world of color, Red blood in a world of people. Sirens singing their love song of hate. Black is white is red. Werewolves worship sheep. Blue moons fall and rise. Black dragons scream and flame. A land gone mad with horror Moves and thinks The breathing hills devour purple men. The grey sun is overcome by a serpent Singing doom To a sorceror making Men to Destroy each other In their minds. The seeds of knowledge Hidden by the stars who Shrouded in a green horror Hide their leprous features From the yellow sea Which plays a harp with strings of air And a soul in torment Withers in an acid flame Which twists Like the vine around a jungle tree Choking the life out of a world Which is fumigated By opening an atmospheric envelope and Allowing the pests to run into A vacuum Which explodes in a flash of Browngoldblacksilvergreenblueyellow, Sending the tortured babies To dance in my eyes. Kirsten Beckett U.6 OvJ VjkJ OvJ OvJ OvJ OvJ OvJ OLJ U Nadine Hoffer-Wathen Upper 5 78 John Peter Beale Upper 4 Student Council This year ' s Student Council has been a busy and active one. Although no gym programs have been held, Council members have kept themselves busy run- ning dances at the school. Profits from these have been sufficient to eliminate any need for additional fund-raising projects. At Christmas-time The Council expressed its thanks to the students with a free movie-showing. Needless to say this was well appreciated. Winter Carnival day was held on Thursday, January 26. Fortunately, things ran smoothly — an indication of the Council ' s organization(?) and of the loyalty of our volunteers. For February 13 the Council has organised a ski trip to Ski Wentworth. Through a combination of Student Council funds and obtainable group discounts, the price of the trip has been cut down to a bargain level. Thanks are extended to all of the Student Council members, to those who volunteered their services for various events, and especially to Mrs. Degrasse, our staff advisor, for her invaluable guidance and advice. The Council looks forward to the remainder of its term in office, and hopes that it will continue to successfully represent and satisfy the opinions and demands of the student body. The members of this year ' s Council are as follows: Mrs. Degrasse Benedict O ' Halloran Patrick Keefe Rob Barbara Marie-France LeBlanc Andrew Turner Andrew Oland Peter Thomas Patrick Oland Matthew O ' HaHoran Gillian Mann Staff Advisor President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Upper 6 Representative Upper 5 Rep. Upper 4 Rep. Upper 3 Rep. Upper 2 Rep. Upper 1 Rep. Ben O ' Halloran Council President 80 Librarians Eric Alsembach William Poon Elmer Thirumurthi Mrs. Scobbie Perhaps it is a reflection on the math teaching in the Upper School that very few of the students seem to be able to count, at least not when it comes to reshelving encyclopedias. The library is a haven for those staff and students who wish for a peaceful place away from the hurly-burly of the classrooms and hallways in which to read or work. The volunteer student librarians who have lunch hour duties do their best to keep order and usually have the co-operation of their peers. The quantity of books in the library continues to expand through purchases and donations. New easy chairs have also been acquired, and the ever-changing, colourful art displays arranged by Miss Silver add much to the atmosphere. Many thanks are extended to the volunteer librarians who have spent many hectic lunch hours in the library. Mrs. Scobbie Librarian Assistant Secretaries Jane Abbott Laurel Weldon Marie-France LeBlanc Sarah Burns Minga O ' Brien Pat Rooney Nancy Fraser Beth Cathy Hatt Sabeena Ahmad Nadine Bishop Sheela Bhattacharyya Katherine Bishop Brigid Roscoe Allyson Simmie Medjuck At the beginning of the school year, being head secretary, I found myself recruiting girls and boys of the Upper School to donate one lunch hour every three weeks to stand in for the secretary as she takes a lunch break. Fifteen girls ranging from Upper 3 to 6 willingly volunteered, but unfortunately 1 could find no boys prepared to answer phones and take messages. We ' ll see about next year. Near the end of the first term, our last year ' s secretary. Miss Joy Flamank, more commonly known as Joy, was seen introducing Mrs. Linda Parker to our school and to her future job. Joy, much to everybody ' s great sadness, had to leave us for Ottawa, and now Mrs. Parker seems to be fitting in equally well. So. thanks to the fifteen recruits, best of luck. Joy, and welcome to our school. Mrs. Parker. Katherine Bishop Head Secretary The following quotes sum up this year ' s drama club. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Emerson Speech is the index of the mind. Seneca The drama ' s laws the drama ' s patrons give, And we that live to please must please to live. Dr. Samuel Johnson Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o ' erstep not the modesty of nature. Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act III, Scene II) Without effort, there is no reward. Meinertzhagen The actor who lets the dust accumulate on his flesh, his Shakespeare, and his Bible, but pours greedily over every little column of theatrical news, is a lost soul. Fiske Mrs. N.

The more experienced seniors bypassed the provincial meeting (impromptu debating) in November, having travelled that route before on a number of occa- sions — they are, however, planning to participate in the provincial meet in the spring. New seniors, Peter Thomas and Walter Kemp acquitted themselves well at the November meeting. They, together with some keen novices from Uppers 2 3, are looking forward to testing their mettle at the provincial meeting in the spring. Thanks must go to Bruce Kirby for his work with senior debaters in term one.

The first event was on December 8th when the choir entertained the residents of Pinehaven Nursing home. Then on December 11th they joined the Dalhousie Chorale for some Christmas carols and a children ' s quiz at the Chorale ' s an- nual Christmas concert. Having sung at the school ' s Yuletide concert their season finished with carol- ling and a party at the director ' s house. All did not go well at this last event. After much joviality singing in the streets, the choir was to sing for the resi- dents of Camp Hill Hospital. A friendly nurse ushered us all to a large elevator that was to take us up to the second floor. We all piled into the elevator (23 students and 2 adults), pushed the buttons and waited, and waited and waited . . . Nothing happened and when we tried to open the door — nothing happened. When we pushed the alarm button — nothing happened. We were stuck! We finally managed to work the alarm button and to arouse some attention and to turn on the fan to keep us all breathing. After a gruelling hour they managed to get us out, but nobody felt like singing any more. In February the choir is singing at the Kiwanis Festival, but the highlight of the season will no doubt be the planned tour to Toronto to the Independent Schools Music Festival at Massey Hall on April 12, 1984. Twenty lucky students from the choir will join some 200 others from independent schools across Cana- da to sing four massed numbers for the festival. If this trip is successful it could become an annual event. The choir will finish its season by singing at the Graduation ceremonies, but there is always the chance that some lucky students will again have a chance to participate at the Nova Scotia Tattoo in July. Last year nine Grammar School students joined the hundreds of other singers, who dressed in Loyalist cos- tumes entertained to full houses in the Nova Scotia Tattoo extravaganza at the Metro Centre. It was a memorable experience for all of us. The chess club this year broke the ice with a subject which has been received with mixed interest. This year has been useful to introduce the student body to in-school tournaments and has initiated interest in national tournaments. Perhaps as we develop our skills, we can expose more members to the Cana- dian Federation of Chess, which two of us already participate in. There have been many possibilities opened this year, su ch as speed chess, simultaneous playing, inter-school tournaments and our run-rating system, which we hope will be continued next year, but the success of the club is resting in the future. V. Kemp (Music Teacher) Chess Club 84 Elmer Thirumurthi Eric Alsembach spores Glooscap Finally, finally, it appears that the dominance of Royals and Acadia is ending and Glooscap is going to finish the year where it belongs — on top. With suc- cessful results in the cross-country and intramurals all that is needed is a strong Track and Field performance for Glooscap to rescue the trophy from the hands of Royals and Acadia. This could not be done without the consider- able help I have received from Arun Goomar in Prep 4, Michael Stevens in Upper 2, and Richard Lankester and Patrick Keefe in Upper 5. I would like to thank them for giving up many lunch hours. Andrew Oland Glooscap House Captain Acadia After coming so close to winning last year, Acadia has shown that it is deter- mined to win this year. Acadians have been quite successful in all of the sports events, especially at the Junior and Intermediate levels. Much of this success is due to the continuous and great help of the Assistant Captains, Brigid Roscoe, Marie-France LeBlanc and Robert Stairs. Hopefully, with more support like this from other Acadians, we shall triumph over the other two teams. Paul McNeil Acadia House Captain Royals As expected. Royals has carried on their tradition of success in the intramu- ral program. Participation in the fall cross country run was very encouraging and Royals established itself as a team to look out for in the spring. There are two main events in the spring; the track and field and the spring cross country run. Royals hopes to be successful in both of these events. Thus far the team has been winning and hopefully this trend will continue. Many thanks to Anthony Novae, the Royals Co-captain, and good luck next year! Andrew Turner House Captain The Grammar School athletic program has continued to provide a wide range of activities for the student body. An active intramural system, a variety of clubs and a number of competitive school teams provide students with many constructive ways to fill their free time. Through the Grade 12 leadership program and the voluntary effort of sports people in the community, the valuable human resources necessary to develop a successful athletic program in the Upper School have been acquired. With the structure in place, the program only needs time to develop. Our teams are becoming increasingly competitive, and we will soon win our share of cham- pionships in the core sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball, badminton and fencing). The leadership students have also been most helpful in running non- competitive clubs which include table-tennis, orienteering, running, volleyball, basketball and chess. In addition there are competitive teams that have not been part of our core program such as cross-country running and table tennis. All these activities provide worthwhile leisurely pursuits for the students. Although the school has had its fair share of success to date, two factors have warranted attention. Firstly, with a small student body, it is obvious that too broad a sports program would result in many teams and clubs, each, however, with limited success. Secondly, academics are the number one priority of the school, so too many programs will cause the athletic program to collapse when participation and studies conflict. Having considered these problems, the 1983- 84 program was structured so as to maintain the depth of activity, but to limit the breadth (too many activities for too few students). More specifically, the seasonal core sports have been emphasised from grades six to twelve with as much league participation as possible. Other activities will continue on a smaller recreational scale as clubs within the school. Mr. Scott Logan Back Row: Ben O ' Halloran, Andrew Turner, Roger Mills, Patrick Keefe, Andrew Oland, Roger Baskett Middle Row: Mr Neale (coach), Paul MacNeil, James Garnett, Benno Lang, David Keith, Mr. Peter Bennett (coach) Front Row: Rob Barbara, Graham Hooper, Richard Lankester, Matthew Murphy, Neil McCulloch, Anthony Novae The graduation of eight of last year ' s starters severely hampered attempts by the Senior Boys Soccer team to capture another Provincial A title. The lack of experience plagued the team throughout the year as it squandered early leads and played down to the level of opposition throughout the season. Under new coaches, Mr. John Neale and Mr. Peter Bennett, we began our season losing to triple A opponent. Sir. John A. MacDonald in a close 2-1 match. With most of the cobwebs taken out, we took a 4-1 lead into the second half against our next opponent, J.L. Ilsley. But, through a combination of inex- perience, laziness, and a referee with a very slow watch, we ended up drawing 4 all. Eastern Shore District High School was our next opponent in a home and home series. In the first game at Eastern Shore we won convincingly, but did have defensive lapses. The game played in Halifax was a defensive struggle and showed how easily it is to be lowered into a lesser style of play. Though we never seemed to get rolling we ended up the winners in overtime penalty shots. After two losses to CP. Allen and Halifax West, both triple A opponents, we felt prepared for the provincial playoffs. In another home and home series we defeated Hants North 9-3 in a two game total goals series. Although we won easily, our play in the second game was not encouraging as we entered the Provincial A Championships. The provincials consisted of two semifinals: us against Lockeport and a Reserve-Bridgetown match-up, with the winners meeting the next day in the finals. All games were played at the St. Francis field. Before well over 200 fans, H.G.S. established a one goal lead as Graham Hooper headed in a lovely cross by Matthew Murphy. Unfortunately, this was all the scoring we did until late in the second half when Neil McCulloch reduced Lockeport ' s lead to only one goal. But our strong offen- sive surge left a gap in defensive, and Lockeport scored it ' s forth goal. Our only consolation was that Lockeport went on to win the Provincial title. In the consol- ation game we again took an early lead, but, quite obviously the spirit and desire were not present, and we lost 5-2 to Reserve. Although our season did not finish overly optimistically, things are looking better for next year, with the loss of only three starters, Ben O ' Halloran, Andrew Turner, and Roger Mills. This year ' s solid nucleus of Graham Hooper, David Keith and Matthew Murphy on offence, Neil McCulloch and Roger Baskett at halfback, and Pat Keefe and Paul McNeil in the fullback position will return even stronger. This, combined with James Garnett ' s exceptional work in goal will hopefully produce a Provincial title for H.G.S. Before this summary is complete, it would be selfish not to realize that our success this year could not have been achieved without the outstanding coach- ing of both Mr. Neale and Mr. Bennett. Both men took a considerable portion of time away from their jobs and other activities to coach, and in come cases, literally teach the game of soccer to some of our players. Without their tre- mendous work, our season would not have been as successful as it was and hopes for next year would not be running so high. Under Thirteen Soccer This year ' s under 13 boys ' soccer tournament, although not totally successful in play was certainly enjoyable. On a regular fall day, October 6th, fifteen eager soccer players left Nova Scotia, via Air Canada, to take part in the under 13 boys ' soccer tournament in Kitchener, Ontario. We arrived in Toronto, still high spirited in anticipation of the next day ' s events. From Toronto we were to be bussed to Guelph where we would be re- ceived by our billets. The next day we were awakened at 7:00 and hurriedly driven to where we would be bussed to St. John ' s Kilmarnock, the school which was hosting us. We quickly got ready for our first game against our host team whom we had played and beaten last year 4-1, so we were confident of our success. We played a solid game with a good defence and a tireless offence, credit going to Miles Sheridan, Danny Rees, Brian Audain and Victor Bigio, whose potent efforts kept the game to a 5-1 loss. We had a few hours of relaxation to watch Rocky III on the VCR that the school provided, before we faced Lower Canada College. Our whole team play was much better in this game even though we lost 2-0. After a day of gruelling play we relaxed in the comforts of our gracious billets ' houses. The next day we met a really rough schedule as we were to play three teams. Our first game against Crescent showed us that there was definitely room for improvement as they shamed us 7-1. The one stalwart goal was scored by George Nikolaou. The second game was against St. George ' s, Toronto. This was the last placed team and we should have beaten them, but, alas, it was a 1-1 tie. Our coach and our mascot, Mr. Logan, expected a miracle if they wanted us to win a game. Our last game was against Selwyn House. We received the loudest cheers of encouragement from other teams to spur us on. We ended up 4-0 losers allowing us to surmise one thing — our opponents were quicker than the eye. On Saturday we had an exhibition game against St. John ' s Ravens Court, who beat us 2-1. Tired of losing, and hungry, we retired to the banquet hall where we were compensated with a lunch. We left Guelph on the Sunday and we soon arrived home exhausted but glad to be back. Special thanks to Mr. Lankester and Mr. Logan who, if it weren ' t for their spurring us on, the experience wouldn ' t have been as worthwhile. Jonathan Cook This year the coaches have been closely watching the Under 13 tournament with great care in order to gain as much insight as possible in preparation for the year of 1984 when H.G.S. has the opportunity to bring all the other inde- pendent schools to Halifax to participate in a festival of soccer — shall we call it the Fish Bowl? Whilst our performance on the field was not obviously successful, the youth of our team was a noticeable disadvantage that .led to tired legs and late game blow-outs . Speed and thrust in attack was a deficiency which prevented us from being really competitive. Lack of size also made it difficult to keep pace with our opponents. However, the team exhibited good skills in team play, passing, and dribbling. The sportsmanship of the team was also commendable. Scoring chances were certainly created, if not always taken. The goals that were scored were well- taken efforts and our players gave spirited performances. Our goalkeeper, Matthew Oland, was a strong player in spite of the sugges- tion of some of the scores. He made many fine saves. Victor Bigio was a con- stant worker, who, along with Brian Audain, Miles Sheridan and Michael Barker, gave us considerable strength in defence. The attack showed creativity with Danny Rees, George Nikolaou, and Chris Lankester spearheading most of the thrusts. In spite of our results, much was gained in experience and much useful build- ing was done towards the year of ' 84 when we will host the event. Mr. J. Lankester Coach Running Club Back Row: Roger Baskett, Andrew Oland, Ben O ' Halloran, Andrew Turner, Ni- cholas Longhurst Front Row: Matthew Oland, Danny Rees, Matthew O ' Halloran, Carmen Mclnnis This year the running club participated in three metro cross-country meets. Considering our small membership size and the generally low number of runners in the school, the results were impressive. In particular, Matthew O ' Halloran of Upper 2 qualified for this years provincial championship by placing seventh out of approximately 45 competitors in his age group at the qualifying meet. Thanks are extended to all runners for their participation as we eagerly look forward to the 1984 season. Ben O ' Halloran Senior Girls Volleyball Front: Faith Wallace, Katherine Bishop, Brigid Roscoe, Marie-France LeBlanc Rear: Jane Abbott, Allyson Simmie Not only did this season prove to be very successful and see a vast improve- ment over last season, but it took us to the Regional Tournament and saw us place third in the Metros. Our ability to act and play as a team has developed considerably, even to the point where we no longer lose our nerve when playing public schools! At first we had some attitude and goal-setting problems, but with the purchase of nice new cotton polyester uniforms and with Mr. Logan ' s dedication to the team, they were overcome. Our success was not only due to this, however. It was also due to individual improvement of abilities. Marie proved to be a real asset to the team — she has amazingly unique bumping and blocking techniques (not only that, but she had access to a car). Kathy improved her overhand serve by concentrating on muscle flexion in her legs, while Jane improved her serve reception by constantly staying on her toes. Brigid was always prepared for emergencies as she had constant supplies of ice and ban- dages on hand. Meanwhile, Allyson and I concentrated on improving our block- ing skills together. I hope your foot is better by next season, Allyson. Faith Wallace Team Captain 92 Senior Boys Volleyball Anthony Novae John-Peter Beale Rob Barbara Graham Hooper James Garnett Roger Baskett Neil McCulloch Patrick Keefe Scott Bernard Paul MacNeil This was a rebuilding year for the senior boy ' s volleyball team. The four positions left open by the graduates were quickly filled, and we began practis- ing early in the year. In the course of the season we attended tournaments in Wolfville, and Eastern Shore, these tournaments were valuable in preparing us for provincial play. Later in the season we met Duncan Macmillan in the re- gionals. By defeating them 3-0, we qualified for the provincials where we did not fare as well, being eliminated from contention after two matches. Next year all of our players and our devoted coach Mr. Logan, will be back with more experience for a much more rewarding season. Pat Keefe Scott Bernard Co-Captains v 93 Back Row: Munju Ravindra, Rosemary Michalski, Julia Gaede, Cathy Novae, Gillian Mann Front Row: Kersti Tacreiter, Alison Murray, Clare Roscoe, Stephanie Barbara As part of our RE. leadership project, we three girls of upper six decided to run this year ' s junior girls volleyball club. Once the girls of Upper one, two and three heard of the club, they all flocked to the gym, eager to sign up for such a prestigious organization. The club was on it ' s way! For the first practice, about twenty eager girls showed up. Unfortunately, what with forgotten gym uniform, the attendance record began to fall off. But those that did show up all ready to play their favourite sport, were eagerly welcomed by the three girls of upper six. The club met every Friday at lunchtime for three-quarters of an hour at a time. The girls could play quite well and it was just a matter of pointing out the weak spots in their skills and letting them practice in order to improve in such areas. This is how the club was run for the first term of the school year, but as the volleyball season ended and the basketball one began we had to give up our gym time for junior boys basketball. However, we will hopefully continue with the club in the third term if we can get the use of the gym. We have enjoyed working with the girls in this club and we have learned the important responsi- bilities of ' leaders ' , which was the intention of the exercise.

Weekly meet- ings were held in the gym to improve skills and attendance (including myself), and I do genuinely feel that several members of the team have improved signif- icantly. Games were met with much enthusiasm, and a senior team will inherit some valuable players in the years to come. Special thanks to Esmund Choo for his infinitely superior organization. Patrick Roscoe Coach Senior Girls Basketball Back Row: Nadine Bishop, Faith Wallace, Marie-France LeBlanc, Brigid Roscoe Middle Row: Lorraine Belitsky, Linda Barker, Katherine Bishop Front Row: Laurel Weldon, Nadine Hoffer-Wathen This year the girls basketball team is undergoing a transition. It is a year that is being used to gain experience and knowledge in the game. With the addition of some new players and a coach, it is expected that it will take time for the team to meet it ' s full potential. As of yet, our games have not been too successful, but as Katherine Icewoman Bishop, Brigid Doctor J. Roscoe, Nadine Big Mo Hoffer-Wathen, Laurel Twinkletoes Weldon, Minga Bomber O ' Brien, Faith Swish Wallace and Marie- France Cream LeBlanc are warming up to last year ' s form, the games should improve steadily. We also have the indispensable advantages of Nadine Bishop and Linda Barker, who make up the rest of the squad. Special thanks to Mr. MacNeil for giving up his free time to coach us. Marie-France LeBlanc Team Captain 96 Senior Boys Basketball Bench: David Keith, Benno Lang, Anthony Novae, Andrew Oland, Paul MacNeil Floor: Sean Llewellyn, Esmund Choo, Neil McCulloch, Patrick Keefe, Roger Mills The senior boys basketball team has gotten off to a slow start in the Metro B league, having won only one game to date. We are progressing and gaining experience with every game, and we hope this will allow us to fare well in regional and provincial play. Thanks must be given to our coach Pat Nearing who has returned for his second year, we hope this season will not provide him with further frustration. But no matter how the remainder of our season goes, all of our players will be returning next year to work hard. Pat Keefe Team Captain 97 Junior Girls Basketball i Back Row: Pat Rooney, Stephanie Barbara, Gillian Mann, Julia Gaede, Munju Ravindra, Rosemary Michalski, Bridget Byrne Middle Row: Lorraine Belitsky, Linda Barker, Nancy Fraser, Clare Roscoe, Ker- sti Tacreiter, Alison Murray, Cathy Novae Front Row: Michelle Horacek, Christy Nicholson Junior Boys Basketball Back Row: Asad Wali, Colin Audain, Brian Awad, Esmund Choo, Patrick Oland, D ' Arcy Byrne, Andr6 Belcourt Front Row: Matthew Oland, Danny Rees, Michael Stevens, Matthew O ' Halloran, Eric Block We were very optimistic about this year ' s Junior Boys Basketball team. After practicing for several weeks we got off to a good start, winning our first game in the Metro B Junior League. Although we had to practice early in the morn- ings twice a week, there has been an enthusiastic response. The team, which is comprised of students from grades seven to nine, had high morale as we ap- proached the playoffs in mid-February. At the end of the season we finished fourth in our division, enabling us to advance to the finals. In our first game in the finals, however, we were elimi- nated by the first-placed team in the other division. On the whole, though, one must say that it was a very successful season, and we hope that next year ' s Junior Boys Team will do even better. Benno Lang William Poon Andrew Turner Badminton As the 1983 84 school year has progressed the badminton team and club have seen new concepts and programs. For instance, the teaching sessions for the Prep School coached by William Poon have been well received and are steadily increasing in size and popularity. The prospects for our team ' s future look bright as we have already been invited to attend several tournaments. Also, as we gain experience in the Nova Scotia Badminton Association and from our drill sessions, it is safe to say that this year will be a successful one! The ping pong club was run on a very informal basis this year, and has been a great success. Students from all grades in the Upper School have come to play, and, I trust have had a lot of fun besides learning some new skills. A few of the staff members have graced us with their presence from time to time, especially Mr. Keirstead whom some of the better players have had a hard time beating. I hope that next year, under different leadership, the club will prosper even more. Being newly-formed, the floor hockey club has a limited membership, but in no way does it have limited enthusiasm. The founders of the club hope it will gain in popularity upon the acquisition of more adequate equipment. Since the beginning of the academic year, there has been constant participation by at least a few members. We hope to grow in numbers in order to have good-sized teams for championships. The mere existence of the club has brought about the idea of making floor hockey part of the intramural system . . . well, maybe next year.

Practices were held weekly at King ' s College Pool where club members endured rigorous training and developed their swimming skills through lectures on stroke mechanics and on fun games such as cups and saucers . The swimmers made tremendous progress, some learning new strokes for the first time, and faring impressively at the final meet. I hope to see the swim club continued in the years to come. Cathy Hatt Coach 103 110 Christmas Plays This year, as every year, the Christmas plays were performed with festive spirit and watched with minds open to frequent criticism. The plays, portraying very original themes, varied from the innocent and primitive re-enaction of the nativity scene (??) to the space-age transporf ' ation of various teachers. Var- ious guest appearances were made by Cathy Lee Crosby, and, much to her delight, Richard Dawson. Napoleon and Frankenstein also responded courte- ously to our invitations. Upper Four revealed the secret ingredients needed in the making of a perfect Christmas play. The plays, much aided by outlandish costumes, were very successful and triggered sparks of merriment which lasted throughout the holidays for all, except Mr. Montgomery, who nervously awaited Christmas Eve. Brigid Roscoe Katherine Bishop Editors 114 1 Winter Carnival | This year ' s Winter Carnival was a success among both Prep and Upper School students. The Student Council, organizers of the event, divided itself into four committees in order to properly structure and direct the day ' s various activities. Prep School activities included a Fun-Fair in the Gym, movies for the different classes, costume and drawing contests, a puppet show for the younger students, and an exciting dodgeball game for the older ones. In the Upper School, various contests and competitions were held, as well as the usual session of bubble gum gambling in mid-morning. The afternoon was spent watching a film in the A.V.R., which was well-received despite crowded conditions. Both the Prep and Upper Schools were grateful to the class of Upper Five for the break from brown-bag lunches provided by its lunchtime hotdog sale. Overall, the Winter Carnival went off quite well, thanks to keen volunteers and the Council ' s ability to manage by crisis ! Special thanks are extended to Mrs. Degrasse for her advice, and to the staff for their patience throughout the Carnival Week. Ben O ' Halloran Council President 116 118 119 French Exchan ge This year ' s Upper Five class is to participate in an exchange program with the College de I ' Assomption in Quebec. During our stay in la belle province we hope to visit sights in I ' Assomption and in Montreal. There will also be a day-long trip to Quebec City, skiing in the Laurentian Mountains, and classes at the College. The group looks forward to a night out to dinner in downtown Montreal, followed by a play or concert . . . and, of course, the parties! All of this very busy schedule will be conducted en frangais . The tables are turned in April when our partners from the College come to visit Halifax and spend the week immersed in English. Our class plans to show them many aspects of the city, the historic downtown area, the C.F.B. Halifax facilities, the Citadel, and the surrounding area including trips to Peggy ' s Cove and MacNab ' s Island. There will be a morning spent in classes at H.G.S., and, of course, more parties! As in the past, this exchange will provide us with much confidence in using our second language, with a few anxious moments, and with many, many memo- ries. But, perhaps the most lasting effect will be the friendships and the under- standing which will grow from our time together. Mme. P.
