Paul Lalonde The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be a friend -Emerson The future of the navy may very well rest in the hands of Paul Lalonde. Paul came to H.G.S. in Grade Ten and we were instantly amazed, annoyed or embarrassed by his proficiency in the French language. During his three years at this school, Paul ran for treasurer of the student council and excelled at programming computers in the computer science course and the computer club. Outside school, he spent three years in the sea cadets and programmed computers this past summer at Dalhousie University earning lots of cash with which he hopes to buy a word processor. Back in school, Paul ' s favorite subjects are Physics, Math and Calculus. After graduating, Paul plans to attend Abjan University on the Ivory Coast in Africa. Upon returning to Canada he hopes to further his studies at either Dalhousie, University of Toronto or McGill to study Robotics or computer systems design. Good luck, Paul in your endeavors naval or otherwise. Neil McCulloch People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing that they like. -A. Lincoln Since Neil came to the school in Grade Five he has been a key member of our class and of every conceivable sports team. Just a few of his accomplishments include captaining one of our strongest U 13 sides ever, and being setter for the Metro A Boys ' Junior High Volleyball winners in 1982. Neil has gone on to captain the senior soccer team and has set a fine standard with his lead-by-example approach to sports. Neil or Squeak as he is sometimes called, will also be remembered as a cornerstone of our class and a friend to all. Armed with his ambition for God- knows-what, (medicine, accounting, soccer, the women of the world) we are sure Neil will be as successful as he has been at school. Remember Neil A closed mouth gathers no feet. Good luck, we ' re sure you ' ll find what you want. Grads 15

David Gray Let me smile with the wise and feed with the rich. -Samuel Johnson David Gray and his beat box were an invaluable addition to the class. His original sense of humour, colorful personality, and capacity for bizarre noises are unforgettable. Dave has attended the school since Grade Nine, and, despite initial difficulties, soon became part of the class. He has proven himself in all aspects of school, demonstrating a strength of mind, body, and personality equalled by few. Walter Kemp .. That which we are, we are One equal temper of heroic hearts Made weak by time and fate but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -from Ulysses by Tennyson Walter is one of the more outstanding members of our class. He has been attending the School for nine years, during which he has participated in nearly all available activities ranging from Choir and Drama to Fencing and Rugby. He excels in most especially in Fencing, consistently managing to place well, both in provincial and national competitions. His ability in class has always earned him high grades and the respect of friends and peers. His sharp, biting wit and his never ending good humour will be greatly missed by all. Good luck in the future Walter. We know you ' ll succeed in what- ever you try. I 14 Grads

Thomas L. McPhee From each according to his abihties, to each according to his needs. -Karl Marx When not roaming the hails, Tom ' s buttondovvn figure can be seen in homeroom eating his lunch. Although his driving skills have been frequently questioned, his willingness to help out in times of crisis, like on trips to McDonald ' s has been in- valuable. Tom ' s jovial attitude and general helpfulness is also appreciated during Open House, Graduation and other school proceedings. Whether he will be a race car driver, restauranteur or tennis star we wish Tom the best of luck in the future. Johanna Steffen In vino Veritas -Johanna Steffen Johanna came to the school in Grade Six and since then has established herself as the class artist, humanitarian and philosopher. Quick to agree with any anti-capitalist statement, she is renowned for the conviction with which she upholds an opinion. Johanna is also well known for her non-conformist habits, but no one in their right mind would hold it against her in light of the marks she achieves. She is definitely one of the more colorful members of the class. She will be sorely missed, if not least by the teachers who will no longer enjoy her brilliant essay writing skills. Best of luck in whatever you may pursue, Johanna. 16 Grads
