Tanja Swart To be, in faith, both humble and proud; that is, to Hve, to know that in God I am nothing, but that God is in me Dag Hammarskjold Tanja has been with us since grade five, and during that time she has always been a stable influence in the class. She has been one of the most conscientious and considerate students. To those who don ' t know her, she is often perceived as a quiet pleasant girl. However, those of us who know her a little better have grown to fear her crazy moods and mischievous nature. When not working at the bus in Sears, Tanja is really involved with her church and her piano playing. Tanja is thinking of language or journalism. We will all miss Tanja ' s smile and her pleasant nature and wish her luck in whatever she decides to do. Faith Wallace If you can ' t convince ' m, confuse ' m. Jim Davis Having completed eleven years at the Grammar School, Faith has, more or less, become a fixture in these hallowed halls. Will she leave behind Super Frog and emerge as one of the country ' s great artists? This question has yet to be answered, but it is undeniable that whatever she undertakes in life, she is bound to start! But Faith ' s personality is much less uncertain. Having survived these eleven years under the influence of fun-loving people, David Bowie fanatics and generally lazy procrastinators. Faith has remained stolid and hardworking. She has been captain of the unruly volleyball team, and a member of the hapless basketball team. Faith has taken part in most aspects of school life and is one out of the memorable charactors. have fun Faith and good luck! Laurel Weldon Oh wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! And after that out of whooping. wonderful! And yet again William Shakespeare Laurel has been a cheerful inhabitant of the Grammar School for the past five years. I am sure everyone will agree that she has been a constant source of amusement and encouragement; who in a most admirable manner, nearly always has a good word for everyone. Occasional fits of hysteria are not uncommon; just about anything is funny and a bag of chip foam is capable of rendering Laurel incapacitated with laughter. In contrast, she is a diligent student and has always achieved high marks, quite out of character with the rest of our class. Do not be led astray by this apparently sweet and innocent bundle of joy. She can be par- ticularly vicious, especially when she has not had enough sleep. Laurel has been an asset to the drama club and is known for her black fly playing of volleyball and basketball. Whatever Laurel chooses to be; be it a lawyer, teacher, or moun- tainclimber, we know her endearing personality will take her far.

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.

Micheal West Cynical, that ' s my fascination E.K. Hornbeck, (INHERIT THE WIND) Mike has been labelled as the class cynic and does not seem too ashamed of the title. When I asked him what I was to write about him, he told me not to forget his magnificent good looks, jovial sense of humour, delicate handling of people ' s feelings, and his fine grasp of the English language. As me looks at Mike ' s character in perspective, no one will disagree with me when I say that he achieves success in his fields of study and interest while appearing to do nothing at all! Mike has many extracurricular activities and other extra-extra ones that I will not bore the reader by mentioning. We have been lucky enough to have Mike at the school for the past two years. He has been an important member of the dramatic society, soccer team, and last year, the captain of the rugby team. Mike plans o attend university next year, pursuing a career in heaven knows what, but we wish him the best of luck in his endeavours.
