Katherine Bishop I should as soon think of contradicting a bishop Dr. Samuel Johnson At the end of the hall a girl emerges from the library, barely able to walk, exhausted from an all night history essay? Or from a three hour volleyball practice? No - suffocated by her tight, form-fitting, blue spray-ons. Kathy came to us in grade four and has since then become somewhat of a legend. She has always succeeded in achieving the highest average in the class, a standard she richly deserves. Kathy has been an active member of both the senior basketball and volleyball teams and will long be remembered as the only girl who jumps for a spike. Although uncertain as to her career, 1986 is sure to find Kathy on the honour roll at Dal. We wish Kathy success in whatever direction she chooses to go. James Garnett Don ' t do today what you can put off till tomorrow anonymous Despite the word nothing that came as an answer to my inquiry as to what James has achieved in his years at the Grammar School, I discovered that this was not the case. James ' s work habits would seem to quaHfy him as a future banker with hours strictly between nine and four, five days a week. James has been an active member of all the sports teams of the school. His skill, his sporting abihties and his keen wit poke through a blanket of heavy metal. This blanket has preserved his sanity in this neo-romantic institution. Been nice knowin ' ya bud. Dawnie Ho Beauty is something which is left to the imagination anonymous Dawnie Ho is definitely one of the prime-time Casanovas in the school, although he leaves his mark primarily on girls of eastern extraction. Amiable, artistic and excessively romantic due to a genetic accident, he will nonetheless be missed after his premature death. But he cannot possibly live long, the way he operates. Harmless around males of any species, he has however ac- complished his life-long ambition of knowing personally every Chinese girl in Halifax and Dartmouth. Smart without obvious intelligence, he has a case of chronic lateness but he can sweet talk his way out of anything. He could sell Walkmans to penguins.

Kim Aerts ' An artist who theorizes about his work is no longer an artist but a critic. THE TEMPTATION OF HARRINGAY Kim is one of the quieter, more thoughtful, members of our class. TraveUing in every day, from Bayside, Kim manages to maintain quite an active, and sometimes hectic lifestyle. He is a participant in the fencing program, both as a competitor and a coach; he regularly works out at the World Gym, plays rugby, and of course manages to produce some professional quality artwork. These activities do not force Kim to go against the academic thrust of the school. Kim has applied his clear mind to everything from computer programs to some rather hilarious short stories. Next year Kim plans to attend Mt. Allison and pursue a career in the fine arts. You have the talent Kim. Good luck with it. Robert Michael Barbara The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of truth. Ancient nobles showering their bitterness on youth. Neil Peart Rob is a very spirited and energetic member of the upper six class, who is constantly involved in school activities. Rob has balanced extracurricular activities and academic achievements. He has been secretary of the Student Council in grade eleven, a member of the school math team since his arrival at H.G.S., a representative on the volleyball, soccer, basketball, and Reach for the Top teams. Rob ' s energetic approach to athletics has made him a popular member of the school ' s sports teams. He is also an active sailor and currently an alterna te on the Canada Games Team. Rob ' s enthusiastic participation in athletics and his academic skills have not hindered his active social life. He is very popular with students from other schools in the city and of course with the French Exchange participants from La College de I ' Assumption with whom he made a mark for himself during the spring of 1984. His warm personality, energetic nature, and resourcefulness will benefit him in later years. He will definitely be missed by the students of the Halifax Grammar School. Scott Bernard You ' ve got desire, so let it out You ' ve got the power stand up and shout Ronnie James Dio Scott is quite a popular member of our class. He has a great propensity for telling stories about himself, some more believable than others. His unique sense of humour shines in many of these tales. Scott has been one of the leaders of the volleyball for the last two years. His membership on the team and his participation in the dramatic society have given Scott an active social Hfe. Outside of school Scott ' s interests are quite diverse. He is very interested in music and has a large library of heavy metal records. But to offset this extreme taste Scott has been playing piano for eleven years and is also interested in many classical pieces. He is also a lifeguard and a swimming instructor. This takes up what free time Scott has left after his other interests.

Tony Ho Success comes from working hard, failure comes from playing around A Chinese Saying You can be a tutor for math, but you have to take an English tutorial first. Tony is an inteUigent guy. Many hard problems that come up in mathematics class, Tony is the only one who is able to solve them. But on the other hand, he has to show up on every cycle day for English and History. He is well respected by his other classmates, indeed, very, very popular on a day when a mathematics assignment is due. Nadine Wathen Is there hfe on Mars? David Bowie This wild Barbarian began attending this institution in grade ten. During her three years here she has become Grammarized - a model student. She has partaken of badminton, volleyball, and basketball, learned to survive the school ' s unique and renowned dances, acquired a car, and made many friends. Her worldly sense of humour has Hghtened many classes and the art sketch trips, on which she took two of her best friends - Tyrone and Willemena. She has made it possible for many of her fellow students to enjoy those subjects for which they have little interest. Nadine ' s goal in life is to lead an exciting and contented existence. Therefore do not be shocked if you find her in a picture of Bowie groupies. Farewell Nadine and good luck in your future education, business career, and Ufe. Graham Hooper Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein Graham Hooper has been attending the Halifax Grammar School since grade eight. He is our local comedian and always has something cheerful to add, especially during wabbit season. Graham has grown only a few inches since he first joined us, but he has learned to overcome his misfortune. He has been involved in school sports such as volleyball, soccer and rugby. His sadistic nature in the fortune and subsequent death of his fish. Graham will always be remembered for his great efforts at French (his favourite subject), especially during the French Exchange when his amazing fluency in the language bowled us all over. Every lunch hour Graham tries to impress us with his piano playing and has usually been successful. He has plans of going into ar- chitecture, but has no university in mind. Graham is a character we will miss. Good luck in your future, Graham!
