GRADUATES HILARY ATHERTON Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. -THE BIBLE Ever since coming to the school in Grade Seven, Hilary has been very influential. His witty humour, and ability to win arguments have both angered and impressed us all. His academic abilities have also been well established. But as Hilary leaves the Grammar School for the foundation year at Kings, what he will probably be most missed for is his renowned ability to have a good time outside school. Good luck Hilary, we know you will go a long way in whatever you choose to do. LINDA HAZEL BARKER None but ourselves can free our minds. -Bob Marley Linda entered our class in Grade Seven as a silent tower. However, she quickly moved into the mainstream of things both socially and academically. Moreover somewhere around Grade Ten she suddenly became one of the shorter members of the class. Although we almost lost Linda to QE between Grades Eleven and Twelve she remained as one of the three surviving female graduates. While maintaining an honours average, Linda has also been a strong asset to the senior girls ' sport teams. Indeed during basketball season Kareem Abdul-jabarker could sometimes be seen running through the H.G.S. gym. Linda wishes to pursue a career in medicine. In this we are sure she will succeed.

STUDENT COUNCIL BACK ROW: Daniel Holland, Amy Block, Eric Block, John Gould, Patrick Oland. FRONT ROW: Matthew O ' Halloran, Mark Wathen, Daniel Rees, Robert Plowman, Chris Williams. Eric Block: President Matthew O ' Halloran: Vice-President Robert Plowman: Treasurer Mark Wathen: Secretary Patrick Oland: U6 Representative Daniel Rees: U5 Representative John Gould: U4 Representative Daniel Holland: U3 Representative Amy Block: U2 Representative Chris Williams: Ul Representative The excitement of the school extension has made the job of the student council a much more satisfying one. As described in my platform, the chief objectives of this year ' s council would be to raise school spirit and increase pride. Hopefully, as the council concerns itself with extracurricular activities, their goals will be reached. By bringing back the committee system, ideas including ski trips, speakers, gym programs, dances and other items will, if all goes well, transform from ideas to reality. By encouraging participation, unity, and strength, the council hopes that the school will be re-built not only physically, but psychologically as well. We will continue to attempt to achieve our goals, and this could not be done without the dedication and total support of our headmaster, Mr. Montgomery. Thank you, Eric Block, President. 10 Student Council

ANDRE BELCOURT Character is like the foundation of a house- it is below the surface. -Anon. Andre came to the Grammar School in Grade Eight and has become an important part of the class. Andre has participated in all areas of the school ' s sporting world, although his forte has been in the secrets of soc- cerhall. However his Maradona level of soccer has not stopped him from achieving a high academic standing with the help of a great many late nights. Andre ' s resemblance to a certain resident of Santa Monica, California, has led to his acquiring his affectionate nickname, Furley. Andre ' s main interests lie in sailing, skiing and soccer. We are sure that Andre will succeed in whatever endeavour he tries. Bonne chance! COLIN MORTON JAMES BERNARD And now for something completely different ... -Mo nty Python Colin has attended the Grammar School for five years. During that time he has established himself as a significant member of our class and will always be remembered for his Mrs. Aterman and Dr. Chapman imitations. Colin was a hardworking and meticulous student. The teachers and students will remember Colin as a witty and jocular fellow, the master of humorous anecdotes. Colin has been an avid badminton player and in his senior year he has directed the badminton program. Outside the school his athletic pursuits include sailing with the Sea Cadets. After leaving the Grammar School Colin plans to attend Kings College. He hopes to pursue a career in either law or in the navy. We wish him the best of luck. JOHN CAMERON ... I have a dream -Martin Luther King Jr. John has been with us since Prep One and is the only member of the class to have been at H.G.S. for twelve years. His warm and friendly personality make him a good friend to all of us. He has maintained high academic standing while enthusiastically participating in many extracurricular activities including cross-country and downhill skiing, and bicycle racing. John is not yet sure where life will take him. Be it the record books of the European Cycling circuit or the journals of world politics, we are sure he will be successful. His genuine character and interest in life will give him the ability to do anything he wants. Good luck in the future. 12 Graduates
