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!

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.

Patrick Keefe The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of new ideas, never returns to its original size. Oliver W. Holmes Patrick Keefe has served a twelve year prison sentence at the Halifax Grammar School. During these years he excelled in his sports and social life. For the past three years Patrick has been on the soccer, volleyball and basketball captaining volleyball and basketball for the past two years. His volleyball skills have earned him a berth on the provincial Canada Games Team, and several Canadian and American universities have expressed an interest in him. Patrick will be remembered by his classmates in the years to come for his extensive social Hfe; his popularity with women is well known. So Patrick, go forth, party and prosper! Richard Lankester Love is special, do not waste it. anonymous During Richard ' s six years at the Grammar School, he has developed into a fine young man. Though not the type to assert himself among his classmates, his contribution academically and otherwise is deeply appreci ated. Without saying much he has earned the respect of his teachers, peers and friends. He is a well rounded individual with a great sense of humour, and with that he has great hope for the future. yr5 ov f ( p Steven Lowcock The best quotes are not quotable Steven Lowcock Although Steven has an oriental face, he is Scottish. He possesses the characters of both the Chinese and Scots. Because of his fluency in both English and Cantonese, he always acts as an ambassador of the West and the East. In other words, he is a translator whether in Hong Kong or in Halifax. Steven has adapted very well to his new surroundings, achieving a high academic standard and recently acquiring a leading role in the school ' s drama production.
