Paul MacNeil All the world ' s a stage; so while you ' re on it live life to the fullest anonymous Paul MacNeil has been one of the notable members of our class since grade six when his sentence at H.G.S began. Since then he has been a member of the Student Council and a valuable member of the volleyball, soccer and basketball teams. Paul is also an accomplished swimmer and has been the captain of Acadia for the past two years. Paul ' s witty comments are normally appreciated most by himself, and could only be smothered by reminding Paul that he declared 1984: the year of the marriage . Paul ' s grade twelve spirit normally found him either slaving over an essay in the library or participating in the class ' favourite pastime: partying. Through all his fast paced hfe, Paul has. remained a warm hearted guy that always had an open ear for his friends. We leave Paul in his car cruising HaHfax with a blonde beauty at his elbow. He is bound to be successful and plans to enjoy hfe. Roger Mills There are many ways of life, there are many fine beauties. But there is only one freedom. Roger Mills Roger likes people but he is prepared to be critical of them. This easy going guy shows his displeasure with his peers in his own frank manner. Basketball, poetry and soccer are his favourite hobbies. Moreover Roger would not be able to survive without his regular deep conversation with whomever he manages to entice into a debate. Roger could be said to be quite a soccer buff if he were on the right team. He is a strong personality in our class and one that would be impossible to replace. Anthony Novae The opera ain ' t over ' till the fat lady sings! anonymous For twelve long, long years, Anthony has been a ray of hope that, yes we too, can be as ritzy and fashion conscious as he is. His clothing and hairstyles have left a lasting impression on the rest of us. As well as being among the fashion elite Anthony has participated in practically every sport in our school, and is renowned for his skill, prowess, and incredibly muscular legs. He has attained a high athletic standing. When we remember Anthony, however, it will be his fanatic love for skiing. We recall how on many a boring winter day, members of Upper Six sat glued to their chairs listening to Anthony reminisce about heart stopping times when he challenged many a slope in the Swiss Alps. We will always remember Anthony as an important part of our class.

Without saying much he has earned the respect of his teachers, peers and friends.

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.

Andrew Oland I can ' t resist anything but temptation Oscar Wilde Andrew has spent all of his secondary education at the Halifax Grammar School with much success. In grades eight, nine and eleven he served as class representative to the Student Council. In grade ten he was treasurer and during his final year he has taken the responsibility of President. During his years he has earned great respect from both teachers and students. Apart from his pleasing academic performance he is also involved in basketball, soccer and rugby. Outside of the school he is an avid sailor. Andrew ' s proficiency in both academics and sports earned him the Lieutenant Governor ' s Award for all round excellence in grade eleven. One would think that with all his extracurricular activities he would have a non-existent social life, but this is not so. Andrew ' s shy and sensitive act, has earned him much popularity with girls. Brigid Mary Roscoe To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 Nobody in this class could imagine life without Brigid, as she has been at the Grammar School for twelve years, something of which she is proud, I am sure. Brigid is renowned for her warm relationships with math teachers, not to mention any names, and for her tendency to voice her opinions. But no, she is not just a girl with her head on her shoulders, she is also ' Joe Sportsman ' and will un- doubtedly, at some point run a babysitting service. Many times Brigid has provided her friends with cheerful support and help. Brigid ' s experience as co- editor of THE GRAMMARIAN last year, has left many wonderful?? memories and has moulded Brigid ' s natural quahties as a leader, which enhanced her roll as coach of the junior girls ' basketball team. In a word, Brigid is indispensable. Queens has a certain appeal to her, although why she doesn ' t know. Don ' t change Brigid, keep smiling and best of luck. We won ' t forget you. Allyson Simmie Are we touching on the atomic level? Mark MacNeil Seeking refuge, from some of her more violent peers at Alexandra Allyson came to us in grade five. She still lives at her Brunswick Street home which is now closely guarded by a twenty-four foot attack snake. Although Allyson has never followed the traditional, path of a Grammar School student she still plays a key role in the lives of her school friends, especially one grade eleven student. Allyson is a member of the dramatic society, and the theatrical skills which she has acquired have often helped her through volley-grudge matches, the hectic schedule of an assistant secretary and Miss Silver ' s famous Wednesday afternoon art classes. The latter being the testing ground for Allyson ' s fake it till you make it attitude, which has resulted in many humorous, refreshing and sometimes just plain fresh comments. This and her well used artistic license will be a definite asset in whatever she decides to do. Good-luck.
