Graduates VICTOR RICHARD BIGIO I know you ' ve got a lot of questions, but I don ' t have any answers. -Ronald Reagan When Victor came to the school in Prep Two, he added a youthful vitality to our atmosphere because he was younger than the rest of the class. In the years since, his cheerfulness has made him well-liked by both teachers and students. Victor has easily kept up with the demands of the academic program; outside of school he has excelled in tennis. He has made outstanding contributions to many school sports teams. He plans to study business at university, and to pursue a career in ac- counting or brokering. In these endeavours, all our best wishes for good luck go with him. ERIC SHANE BLOCK The secret of success is showing up. -Woody Allen Hi! Just call me Blockhead! hollered a shy (cough) young man standing on a desk in the Prep Four classroom in the fall of 1979. From that time on, H.G.S. would never be the same, for it had received ... THE BLOCKER!! For those of us who know him well, or at all, the words ' Eric Block ' have a connotation all their own. With his jovial grin, and obnoxiously loud but always lovable laughter re- sounding through the halls of H.G.S. , Horky has become as much a part of the school as the building itself. Without him, who would have been here to start the Bob Newhart Fan Club, or to form the official opposition to Frank McKenna? He has also founded the Kazoo, played an active role on the basketball and debating teams, and represented the school at the Youth Commonwealth. In 1986, he became President of our Student Council, giving H.G.S. one of its most ... in- teresting years. Despite his current career as a professional nuisance, Eric hopes to make space for law school after graduation. It ' s almost impossible to envision H.G.S. without ya, dude! Best wishes and lots o ' luck, Big Guy!
