Sabeena Ahmad We look before and after, and pine for what is not. 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!
