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. We have no doubt that Ken will be successful in any vocation he chooses, and his capitalist streak should insure his financial future. We wish the surfer boy good luck and wonder how university life will affect him . . . 19
