Eaton's dots the map from coast to coast. It's reflected in every stream of Canadian living. In huge abundance Eaton's buys the products of Canadian factories, mills and farms-plus many and diverse specialties of foreign markets. In urhan and rural communities throughout the land, Eaton Stores and Mail Orders disperse to the purchasing puhlic this vast output of food, clothing and all the material attributes of homemaking, hospitality, culture, and recreation. The Eaton imprint on Canada is deep and wide and very human. There is pride for native Canadian and newcomer in that a great retail organization world-renowned for scope and service should have long flourished in this i surging young country. fjlifl Is: I I I . ,wif 'A - ...sim m . ,.g:2:i sm X ,.g,:,:,.I I .A1f:tgfu' l 'lu fifiiiilillfii 'iiiiin -. .. 3:E:2f:Z-:II-' I'.',g'-Ihgt: 5:E:E'j.'H,, v2:1f:::Ig::25 , , -E3tr.:i22sa:f. 21 .

Wherever you go in Canada today you can see the work of the professional engineer whose vision, initiative and orderly think- ing are vital to progress in this swift-moving technological age. When you Hip a switch at home an amazingly intricate system of power equipment goes to work for you. Electricity cannot be made and stored-it is made and delivered instantly at the speed of light. In effect, you reach back from your switch through wires, meters, transformers, substations, switchgear, generators, turbines-right to the very source of power. This incredible process . . . safe, reliable and low-priced . . . has been made possible through the skills of professional engineers. Less than 20 years ago only about one in 700 workers was a graduate engineer . . . today there is 1 to every 150 workers. At Canadian General Electric we employ nearly 1,000 engeineers-approximately one to every 20 employees-and more are constantly needed to keep pace with the increasing demand for equipment to generate and transmit electric power and the many products which put it to Work. For over 50 years this Company has con- ducted a training programme for engineer- ing graduates. In our plants, they acquire an intimate knowledge of the theoretical and practical principles of manufacture, design and installation. Known as the Test Course it has provided important postgraduate training for many of today's professional engineers in various fields of Canadian industry. The future holds many engineering oppor- tunities in Canada, where people are so electrically minded that the demand for power doubles every 10 years! Right now engineers are busy on products, projects and in industries that didn't even exist a few years ago, when many electrical developments, such as television, were practically unknown. Canada's hrst atomic electric power plant presents one of the greatest engineering challenges of our time. It is being built by Canadian General Electric for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Ontario Hydro. This is just one of many great projects that exemplify the major role being played by professional engineers key men in our nation s progress.

RE IEW LOG OF H. M. S. STONE FRIGATE VOL. XXXVIII l 9 5 7 A REVIEW OF 1.956-57 This year at RMC has as usual been a full one. However, different from other years, the events have not been quite so numerous but rather more extensive in scope. This year RMC took another step to gain public recognition. For the first time' since 1936, a public appearance was made in the form of a guard of honour for the Governor General. Before thousands of people at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto the cadets performed to reflect credit on the College. Needless to say it is events such as these which serve to focus public attention on RMC and develop it into being one of those things which people recognize as being distinctively Canadian. RMC distinguished .itself in sports as well this year. The senior football and track teams captured titles in the Ottawa-St. Lawrence conference, the rifle team spent a nearly unbeaten season, the ski team got another Ottawa-St. Lawrence championship, while the volleyball team won all but one of their league games. The hockey seniors just missed their championship on a technicality. RMC also entered an entirely new held this year, when a team of cadets tried the Putnam Mathematical Competition. Cadets also entered the l.R.E. and the Engineering Institute of Canada technical paper competitions and made a good showing. The International Relations Club brought credit to the College by sending representatives to conferences on the United Nations. The Debating Club had an extremely active and successful year, and many other clubs showed increased or even renewed activity. Panet house has been remodelled to provide badly needed space for the electronics and photography clubs, so next year should be an even more eventful one in this regard. On the whole the year has been a very successful one for RMC. The college has not only held its own on the traditional battlefields of intercollegiate activity, but has also extended its fields of external endeavour. ln so doing RMC has shown itself to be a College of universal character. -No. 4lOo P.

MEINCKE GRADUATION EXERCISES l956 On Monday, May l+lth, IQS6, thc Class of '56 marched off the R.M.C. parade square for the last time. The event was memorable above and beyond the fact that another graduating class had reached the long-awaited goal. For the first time since the College reopened in 1948, the traditional R.M.C. scarlet tunics and pillboxes were worn by the Cadet Wing on ceremonial parade. In a return to prewar procedure, the entire Cadet Wing paraded to honour the graduat- ing class, and academic prizes for the three junior years were awarded before the senior class slow-marched off to Currie Hall for the presentation of diplomas. Prior to the parade, the Cadet Wing staged an extensive physical training display. which was followed by a crowd-pleasing show by the R.M.C. Pipe Band. The R.C.A.F. Central Command Band accompanied the physical. displays and the ceremonial parade. At the graduation ceremonies in Currie Hall, Air Commodore D. A. R. Bradshaw, D.F.C., C.D., A.D.C.. the Commandant of R.M.C., reported on the year's activities to the assembled parents and friends of the graduating class. The President of R.M.C., the Hon. Ralph Campney, P.C., B.A., Q.C., Minister of National Defence, then addressed the graduates. I-Ie reminded the cadets that R.M.C.'s eighty years of existence had seen most of Canada's rise to nationhood, and that ex-cadets had played an important part in this development. The object of this institute is not just to develop soldiers, scientists, and engineers, it is to nurture and develop men . . . You who are graduated here today are heirs of that great tradition . . . Canada is waiting for youf' The Hon. Mr. Campney then presented prizes and diplomas to the graduates. A luncheon in Yeo Hall followed the ceremony. This eventful day, which was climaxed by the Graduation Ball, was the culmination of a marathon of parties which began on the preceding Wednesday with a mess dinner for the graduating class, given by the staff. Thursday night, wc, the graduates, held a stag party for ourselves. It had been originally planned to have a moonlight cruise on the Wolfe Islander on Friday night, but the lake breezes chilled our ardour, and an informal dance was held in the Old Gym instead. On Saturday, the sun smiled down on a pleasant Wiener roast and picnic on Cedar Island, and on happy crowds shuttling back and forth from the St. Lawrence Pier to the island in the chartered launch and in overloaded canoes. That night, to top off a grand day, we all had a hoedown in Farquharson's Barn. The Sunday church parade was a smart preview of the excellent standard of drill exhibited by the Wing on the graduation parade. There was a band concert on Sunday afternoon, and a fine buffet supper in the evening. Feverish work, particularly in the line of artificial fiower manufacture, re- sulted in completion of the decorations fo-r the New Gym in time for Monday night. The gym took on the appearance of a park, complete with grass, benches, trees, flowers and a dancing fairy fountain. Floodlighting of the Arch and Fort Frederick, and a large luminous cadet standing guard over the inner enclosure, gave vivid visual notice that this was indeed a gala occasion. We danced to the music of the R.C.A.F. band, and ate the delicious food prepared by Lt. Johnson and his staff, and sang all the old songs and one new one, and then it was dawn. At first light, one hundred new ex-cadets and their girls invaded Mackenzie Building to sign the visitors' book, and then gathered on the square for the traditional group picture. After breakfast at Morrison's, it was all over. There was time then to look back. 1957 3 It was in our recruit year that R.O.T.P. was introduced in the Canadian Services Colleges, and by the end of four years the class had become about evenly divided between those electing to remain reserve and those choosing a permanent career in the services. Subsequent recruit years have shown a great reduction in the number of reserve cadets. In a way, therefore, the graduation of the Class of '56 marked the end of an era, and the beginning of a new order. Because of our rather eventful stay, the College would never be quite the same again. A new marble staircase to mark the path of a runaway cannon, rust stains on the Fort to recall the Hgreat gunpowder plot , names proudly inscribed on trophies and plaques, additions to the store of classic lab reports handed down from year to year-these will remain awhile as reminders that we once passed this way. But more enduring, for us, are the many memories of how four chock-full years moulded us in a good mould, and looking back, we cannot but be forever grateful to those who influenced us so strongly. To the staff, who opened new vistas of knowledge and endeavour to us, and who aided us with their maturity and experience and friendship, to our comrades, many of whom did not graduate with us, but who marched off with us in spirit at least, to our seniors, who made us into men, to our juniors, who made us act like men, to all of these, we of the Class '56 extend heartfelt thanks. Canada, our hearty young country, has given us much, God willing, in the years to come we will repay our debt. No. .3517 N. K.

BERTRAM LAWLOR ROCHESTER NORANDA HIGH SCHOOL Bertram Lawlor Rochester was born in Ottawa on October 9, 1934 but rc- ceived his early training in Noranda, I P.Q. Here he learned well the lessons . of youth and upon graduation from high school he entered R.M.C. as a Reserve Cadet. Lawlor easily got by the rigours of I recruit year as his quiet contidence and . pleasant manner gained him many . friends and the respect of his seniors. I Throughout the last part of his second y year and all third year it became ing creasingly apparent to his term-mates that he had the qualities to lead them and the remainder of the College throughout the 1956-57 college year. Accordingly, he was presented with the C.W.C.'s sword and sash on the final parade in May, 1956. For his first two years of summer training Lawlor proceeded west to the heart of the Fraser Valley where he I trained with the Royal Canadian Engi- neers at Chilliwack. Here he quickly formed many new friendships and proved even further his military leadership qualities while completing these two successful phases of training. Long to be remembered are his interest in old cars as a one-quarter partner, stories of four princesses and three princes told under a Cultus Lake moon, Weiner roasts in the rain and 'sback to Noranda by thumb . In his final phase of training Lawlor went north to Churchill, Mani- toba-the land of no trees. A natural athlete. Lawlor has estab- lished himself as a fine, all-round com- petitor both in inter-squadron and col- lege representative activities. He has played junior football and hockey and was winner of the Skimeister Award in the 1956 Ottawa-St. Lawrence Valley Ski Meet. He is also an above-average boxer. harriers runner and tennis player. His ability at skiing was no doubt fostered during his youth in Noranda where it was a necessary and common mode of travel most of the year. The future, although bright, is still somewhat uncertain. At present a civil engineer with consistently good marks, Lawlor seems to be learning in favour of a career in medicine or possibly mining. There is little doubt, however, that regardless of the field he enters there will be nothing but success and happiness for the C.W.C. of '57. CA. K' RJ R.M.C. Review No. 3843 C.S.L. EARL BONAR LAWV Weston Collegiate and Vocational School List all the excellencies there are in sports, academics and officer-like qualities, wrap them up in a friendly, quiet, unassuming personality, and you have Earl Law. Earl started his military career at Royal Roads. At that fair institution he distinguished himself by staying near the top of his class in academics, playing a starring role in almost all inter-squadron sports, along with Canservcol basketball and rep football. At the same time he gained the friendship of his fellow cadets to the extent that they elected him Gunroom President in his second year. During this same year he quarterbacked the college football team to victory and gained the appointment of C.S.L. for the final term. Moving on to R.M.C., Earl continued his old habits, leading the third year Civils in their battle against the staff, and helping out the College name in senior football and hockey. In view of his qualiications, it was no sur- prise to find him right up there as C.W. 2 ifc in his final year. Even,With this job he has managed to set the example for the Civils. along with quarterbacking the senior football team to another championship, and playing standout hockey with the senior team. A navigator during the summer, Earl didn't let the Winnipeg atmosphere cramp his style and showed them how it was done by coming first in his class in both long range and airborne inter- ception. After graduation he plans to join the ever- growing flood to matrimony, gain his degree at U. of T., and then make a career of the Air Force. If the past is any indication, it will be outstanding. CW. B. LJ No. 3798 C.S.L. WILLIAM BENEDICT LYNN Montreal West High School Wing Headquarters has been blessed this year with a very steadying iniiuence. Bill Lynn is the veritable Rock of Gilbralter hereof we speak. When things are hectic, Bill's quiet way and calm assurance never fails to overcome all obstacles and usually with a happy chuckle. All this is Very natural, for Bill seems to have aways been an easy-going cadet, pilot and student. At lC.M.R. he quickly gained and maintained top honours academically and graduated with the Governor General's Medal. Bill says he likes to putter around with sports and one year at C.M.R. he played on the football team that just hap- pened to putter its way to the championship. Bill started off early as a cadet oflicer at C.M.R. and in his final year he graduated as the Cadet Wing Commander with the Sword of Honour. At R.M.C. Bill was content to study hard While participating in squadron sports and squadron activities. When he heard he was to take on the heavy responsibility of Wing Adjutant Bill said with his infectious grin, Well . . . and the Cadet Wing has been running smoothly ever since. Penhold, Alberta has claimed Bill for the past three summers while he logged two hundred hours on the Harvard. Of course, while he was there he led the course in ground school marks. Next summer means a long ride with the aces in the '49 Chev to training in T-33's. The pilots sho' have an aflinity for the prairies! McGill will gain a fourth year electrical engi- neer this fall and then the Air Force a pilot. Bill even thinks they may be gaining a permanent pilot. An unbiased observer might Well say that the R.C.A.F. and Bill have a great deal to offer each other. All very true, but-that lucky ole Air Force. CS. J. VJ 1957 No. 3951 C.S.L. SPENCER JESSOP VOLK Lisgar Collegiate Spence is .perhaps best known to us by the Way that he lives life to the utmost. He tackles his daily duties with an exuberance not too com- mon to most of us. His personality bubbles over with enthusiasm and even devilment at times. His easy-going nature and cheerful disposition have gained him many friends. Leaving Ottawa and several feminine admirers behind, he packed his tennis racket and paint brush and headed for Royal Roads in 1953. He soon settled down to the life of a cadet and from that point on made the most of it. His creative mind and artistic ability were soon discovered and it was not long before these assets were affluently displayed in the dance decorations at both Royal Roads and R.M.C., Spence is also quite capable in the field of sports. At Royal Roads he played representative football for one year. In his third year at R.M.C. .he played with the volleyball team. Spence is also an ardent skier and spent many weekends on the snowy slopes of Ottawa. His favourite sport, however, is tennis. His enthusiasm for this game has gained him a certain proficiency in it which he so adeptly displayed as a member of the college tennis team. On the more serious side of Spencer lies a keen sense of responsibility and an excellent capability for organizing. On the basis of these and many other merits he was chosen C.NV.S.O. in his final year. Sports Oflicer for over 400 cadets is no easy task. However. when one tackles a job with the willingness and cheerfulness the way Spence does. anything is simple. After R.M.C., Spence intends to continue his studies in Economics and obtain his Masters De- gree. From there, being a Reserve cadet, he will likelv enter some walk of civilian life-and make a sutccess of it, no doubt! CE. B. LJ No. 3864 C.S.L. MICHAEL ALEX HARGRAFT Trinity Collrege School Mike, one of that near extinct species, the Reserve Cadet, came to R.M.C. as one of the chronologically youngest members of the class. having been born March 12th, 1936. A product of T.C.S.. near his home town of Cobourg, Mike's ability and energy at cadet activities and studies showed him to be one of the more valuable mem- bers of the class right from the start of his recruit year. He has consistently stood near the top of the class academically, and his proficiency at drills and exercises have placed him in a similar position militarily. Possessing these qualifications, he was the obvious choice for Cadet Wing Training Oificer in his final year, an appointment by which, through his personal example and insistence on the highest standards, he has earned a well done from all years of the cadet wing. Mikes first two summer training periods were spent at the Royal Canadian School of Military Engineering in Chilliwack. B.C. Although he Won't admit it, we suspect Mike's chief hobby was engineering schemes to get away from the per- petual rain of B.C. and back to the civilization of Ontario. Having been posted to Camp Borden dur'- ing his third phase, Mike plans to continue his association with the R.C.E. in the militia after graduation. Our best wishes go with him for a satisfying career in his .chosen profession, Civil Engineering, a field in which his friends and classmates have the greatest confidence that he Will excel, CD. B.

WILLIAM JOSEPH BROUGHTON Lisgar Collegiate Institute To one who has determination and talent, the Canadian Services Colleges provide ample oppor- tunity for achievements. Bill, more so than many, seems to be endowed with those two qualities- they have made him an outstanding man in every- thing to which he gave himself . . . And he gave himself to practically everything . . . He came to us from Canada's capital city which had sheltered him for most of his eighteen years. Shy at first, he soon gained confidence. He has always remained quiet, but behind his mask of quietness one will find an overabundance of enthusiasm and activity. Bill first distinguished himself at Royal Roads. There he swam and he played football, basketball, inter-squadron sports and . . . bridge-and he ex- celled in all of them. His leadership ability was quite evident When, in his senior year, he was appointed twice a C.F.L. and once a C.S.L. He left Royal Roads, graduating second in his class with first class honours, and proceeded to R.M.C. Once he came back to civilization, Bill had no difficulty in creating a lasting impression on it. He played wing back on the senior football team both years at R.M.C. His prowess in the freestyle swimming events earned him a sure place on the college swim team. Bill is a gymnast of no mean ability and an able hurdler as Well. He also excelled academically. In his third year he stood at the head of his class in mechanical engineering. Outstanding abilities such as these could not go unrewarded. In his fourth year Bill was ap- pointed C.S.L. of the Frontenac Frigateers, a post he has fulfilled with great effectiveness. earning I the confidence and respect of everyone. . Next year Bill plans to go to Queen's. We 5 have more than a sneaking suspicion of why he A I chose Queen's. Home is where the heart is, eh Bill? From Queen's Bill will go into the Navy, Engineering Branch. Whether he stays in a life- time or makes his way on civvie street, we are sure that Bill will reach the top. Q No. 3837 I C.S.L. WILLIAM MACDONALD CAMPBELL Belleville Collegiate Institute Bill came to us from the biggest little town east of Toronto. Belleville. Not letting this hamper his iprogress, Bill became interested in the army at an early age. He took an active interest in his collegiate cadet corps and at the same time was a member of the 9th Anti Tank Regiment CR.C.A.J for three years, where he worked his way from gunner to officer cadet. Having such a good mili- tary background. Bill had no trouble in winning the Military Studies prize in first and second years. Aside from his military prowess Bill has stood near the top of the class all the way through. Deciding he would rather build a gun than Ere it, Bill took mechanical engineering and spent his first two summers at the R.C.E.M.E. School in Barrieiield. Having restricted his movement for two years to the Kingston area, he was very haDDY to receive a posting to Germany in his third summer. His education was considerably broadened on the continent. seeing the sights from Amsterdam to Rome. In his career at the College, Bill has always been popular with his classmates, having a ready smile and congenial personality. In second year his congeniality helped him to become a member of No. 2 Squadron's famous Great Eight . In third year Bill took a very active part in The Marker and various other committees where his organizing ability and spirit became apparent. Thus. it was no surprise when Bill was made No. 2 Squadron Leader for his final year. i After obtaining his degree in Mechanical Engineering, Bill will continue his career in y which cannot but be successful. l CD. R. SJ QD. LJ 1957 No. 3745 C.S.L. ROBERT EARL STEWART United College Bob was born in Winnipeg' on a sunshiny July 5th in 1934. After receiving his Junior Matriculg- tion there in 1952 he decided that he had had enough of civilian life and joined College Militaire de St-Jean as a Reserve cadet. After two years at C.M.R., Bob was sent to R.M.C. with six other cadets, where he established himself as a valuable cadet to No. 3 Squadron and the Cadet Wing as he helped his squadron capture the Sports Aggregate Shield and held the position of Sports Editor on the Marker staff. Bob's efforts and leadership qualities were rewarded in his final year, as he was appointed Cadet Squadron Leader of Hudson Squadron. As C.S.L. his leader- ship and participation has kept No. 3 Squadron near the top in both sports and drill competitions. Despite the fact that Bob is one of the few remaining Reserve cadets left in the College. he has put a lot of effort into his summer training. His first two summers were spent at Camp Borden with the Royal Canadian School of Infantry where he led all cadets in total hours of sleep acquired. His final phase of training was spent in Hemer, Germany with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. As first among his many achieve- ments in Europe, Bob proudly recalls the night that he and two friends greatly improved Canada's diplomatic relations with Holland by visiting all of Arnhem's inn-keepers between the hours of 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Bob plans to go to university next year and get his degree in Economics. Past academic achievements indicate that he will achieve this aim handily and go on to be very successful in the business world. CE. V. Sfl No. 3808 C.S.L.

When the fateful telegram with his acceptance to Royal Roads came. he headed west. At Royal Roads Don started an active life in which he excelled in academics as well as editing the sports section of the Log and boxing on the C.S.C. Tournament team. Don's most active extra- curricular activities included U-drives, contract bridge. girls with their own cars, and free tutoring to his term-mates in calculus, chemistry and physics. In both years Don was first in his class academically, winning the Governor-General's bronze and silver medals. His officer-like Qualities were not overlooked. In his appointment as a C.F.L., he led -Champlain Flight to first in sports and second in drill. In the summer Don has spent three phases with the R.C.E. at Chilliwack. His outstanding ability was also recognized by the Army. In his second summer Don won the I-Iertzberg Sword. awarded to the most outstanding engineering cadet at Camp Chilliwack. After graduating from Royal Roads. Don re- turned to the East to take -Civil Engineering at R.M.C. In his third year Don was a member of the Hockey Seconds and was Sports Editor of the R.M.C'.

RONALD JOHN MUIR Trenton High School Ron's decision of where to take his higher education, did not present too great a problem. Soon after his birth on June 14th, 1935, his father enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and his indoctrination in- to the ways of service life began. With this back- ground, it was only natural that he should come to the Royal Military College of Canada on com- pletion of his high school. On entering R.M.C. in 1953 with a Navy League Scholarship, he had the distinguished honour of becoming a member of the new eighteen, which had taken up residence in the ol' Stone Boat. It did not take Ron long to adjust himself to his new surroundings and his presence was soon felt in squadron sports and many recruit uprisings such as the midnight RT. class. He was a member of The Illarkev' staff in second and third years and a very strong supporter of the Frogman's and 10:10 clubs. Considering his remarkable academic ability, which has always stood him at the top of his class, it was no surprise that he walked off with the Military Studies prize in his third year. With this record behind him, it was no sur- prise that he was chosen C.S.L. of No. 5 Squad- ron in his Hnal year. In this capacity he did an excellent job of maintaining the high standards within the squadron, set the previous year. Ron's future certainly appears bright, and being one of the very few reserve cadets left, he is sitting on the fenceyobetween electrical engi- neering on civy street and a career in the Navy. However. no matter on which side he jumps, with his many fine qualities. success is assured. QP. G. KJ No. 3849 C.S.L. RONALD DENNIS COOK Sarnia Collegiate Institute Ron was born in the rock-strewn city of Sudbury, Ontario. Although he moved to the more moderate climate of Sarnia when he was twelve. he seems to have retained some of the elements of the northland in his apparently insatiable ap- petite for work and sense of appreciation for the efforts of others. Ron's taste for the military was first culti- vated in No. 102 Cadet Corps. As a result of this interest in things military, Ron applied and was accepted as a new entry to Royal Roads in Sep- tember, 1953. It was at Roads that another of 1:on's talents came to the fore-that of his athletic ability in general and his pugilistic ability in par- ticular. Ron's leadership and organizational ability were recognized with his appointment as C.S.L. tor the final term at Roads. On entry into R.M.C., Ron elected Electrical Engineering as the course best suited to his talents. At R.M.C. his interests, as well as his abilities, have increased in scope and intensity. His ability to accept and to discharge responsibility was ap- parent to such a degree that his appointment as C.S.L. came as a surprise to no one, except per- haps himself. Ron has been, since his days in the Cadet Corps, an avid gunner. He has spent his three summers with the Artillery at Picton, Shilo and Wainwright. . The immediate future for Ron will include the University of Toronto and 1 RCHA. As a cadet Ron has been a credit to Roads and to the College. As a graduate he will be a credit to the Service and to 1 RCHA. This will be true since Ron is one of the few who combines a quick and able mind with energy and ambition and temper, all with discretion. QR. G. BJ 1957 No. 3729 C.S.L. JEAN PIERRE FORTIER Jeep was born May 18, 1934 in Sherbrooke. He lived in that fair city until 1950 when he moved to Montreal. Two years after this move, Jeep became a C.S.C. cadet and a member of the first class of cadets to enter C.M.R. He and six other cadets were sent to R.lVI.C. a year early from C.M.R. to ensure that the standards of the two colleges compared favourably. Apparently, the standard which Jeep had reached was sufficient, as in his last year at R.M.C. he was given the ranks of C.S.L. and was made Chief of No. 7 Squadron-a position which Jeep has held up very well. As an athlete, Jeep is well known. He has been the captain of the College ski team in all three years at R.lVI.C. and has led the team to two championships and will, in all probability make it a clean sweep in the near future. Jeep played representative football at both colleges and has always turned out for any squadron sport and can be counted on to try hard at all times. In the summer Jeep has had the good for- tune to be a member of the R.C.A.1C. As usual, he has done well in this endeavour. He was picked as the best cadet in his troop in his first summer and after an equally successful second phase was sent to Germany with the Royal Canadian Dra- goons last summer. Next year Jeep plans to go to U.B.C. to gain his degree in commerce, after which he in- tends to spend a haDDY twenty-five years in the Lord Strathcona Horse CR.C.l We wish Jeep the best of luck, and we feel sure that if he continues on his present path, success will surely be at the end. CJ. A.. FJ No. 3814 C.S.L. JOHN PAUL ANTHONY CADIEUX North Bay Collegiate and Vocational Institute On October 27, 1934 North Bay was introduced to its most staunch citizen. Young Jack, so the story goes, Was offered a model airplane, a sweat suit or the cup of knowledge. He grabbed all three and has yet to let go. With the curiosity of the uninitiated, he entered R.lVI.C. in 1953 and after a few minor adjustments to himself and the system. he decided to stay. It turned out to be rather hard to ignore him. Athletically, Jack has represented the College in basketball, track, and in the Roads Tournament. After three years as a dancing girl in the senior football team's backfield, he was voted most likely to wear low-cuts . He participated in all inter- squadron sports, excelling at most. Jack climaxed his recruit year by being awarded the Queen's Challenge Shield as the best all round cadet in studies, leadership and sportsmanship. For general proficiency in both first and second years, Jack won the Governor-Generals Bronze and Silver Medals. In third year Jack was the editor of the Review. Fourth year found him as Montcalm Squadron Leader. Jack's summers are spent with the Air Force, which has overlooked his tendency to take off through the rhubarb and allowed him to experiment more fully with the instability of Harvards in un- usual positions. When not buzzing small towns from the air, Jack can be found pushing his geta- wav car along the highways of Alberta, testing the local golf courses or lining up the local femmes. Jack intends to further his electrical engi- neering and social training at U.B.C. and then take on the life of a pit jockey for a few years. After that, Jack's versatile abilities and varied interests could lead him just about anywhere. Wherever he is led, though, if the requirements are enthu- siasm, energy, a cheery disposition. and a spirit that hates to do nothing. Jack will be a huge success. CR. R. NJ R.M.C. Review gg No. 3894 C.I+'.L. WILLIAM WRIGHT BADGER HISHOPS COLLEGE SCHooLs His entrance to R.M.C. was not a new ex- perience for him, but merely a continuation of the disciplined existence he has endured since an early age. Not an avid militarist, Bill looked to R.M.C. an ideal place to participate in a way of life which would give him the right outlook and back- ground for any career he might choose. His ap- proach to any obstacle branded him as an in- dividualist and a non-conformist, a characteristic in which he revels. Bill's athletic achievements while at the Col- lege have greatly outshone his academic ones, but probably only through a lack of concentration and effort. He has played four seasons for the Football I's, has captured the Gymnastic Award each year at the College, has played representative hockey during some of his weaker moments, and has gained the disagreeable job of manager of the ski team. Not to neglect his academic achievements, Bill has passed his iinal two years, majoring in English, without the need of writing supplemental exams- a feat not to be overlooked for one so completely relaxed. He has spent his summers with the RCN QRJ, enjoying the experiences of one who is des- tined to become a man of the world. To predict the future of Bill Badger is indeed a difficult task. For the sake of posterity, his present desire is to continue his education and then possibly enter the Professorial World . No matter what his final lot is, his presence will be felt. CG. E. MCC?

This, as a point of ques- tionable interest, is the original oil town of Canada. After receiving his earlier schooling in Plymbton township, Lambton County, Ron attended Sarnia C.I. and T.S. Ron then entered Royal Roads in the fall of 1953. After two years there he entered R.lVI.C. and quickly adjusted to a new routine and made many new friends. In fourth year the duties of No. 1 Squadron Adjutant didn't seem to take up too much of his time, as he had time to do a little sailing in the fall. Between Ron and Hugh Silver they would have keep the sailing craft busy until freeze-up if the boats hadn't been taken out of the water. Freeze-up didn't stop them this time, though. as they built an ice boat. Ron spent his first summer with the R.C.A.. but the following year he switched to the R.C.E.- as he felt his work in this branch would be interesting and more in line with his mechanical engineering course at R.M.C. I'm sure Ron will do well and he has the sympathy of all the R.O.T.P. cadets on his being forced into the cold, cruel civilian world. KH. W. CJ No. 3965 C.P.L. PETER STEPHEN GEORGE CAMPBELL ST. lNTARYyS COLLEGE On the 12th day of June, 1936, in the city of Calgary, a second son and second potential cadet was born into the Campbell family. Peter, or P.S.G.-the initials by which he is so widely known -travelled many miles between Calgary, Edmon- ton, Ottawa and Halifax for seventeen years be- fore finally coming to settle down at R.M.C. Sports have accounted for some of Peter's greatest successes while attending the College. For four years he has shone as a member of the representative football team. He has participated in most every sport the College has to offer, either on a representative or inter-squadron level. Upon leaving RM.-C. this enterprising young fellow plans to obtain his mechanical engineering degree at McGill University and then proceed to Law School. On the basis of the drive exhibited by Peter during the past four years, one can con- clude that he may conhdently look forward to two more graduations. In the meantime, he will join his father and brother in the ranks of the ex- cadets. CA. P. FJ No. 3617 C.F.L.

While attending high school in Toronto Bob received his first taste of military training with the Reserve army. He liked it so much that he decided to forsake the worldy pleasures of city life and retire to Kingston. Bob entered R.M.fC. as an army cadet, but quickly saw -the error of his ways and switched to the air force and R.O.T.P. While at the College Bob has been an enthusiastic supporter of Hudson Squadron and is one of the outstanding pistol shots in the College. In his third year. Bob was a mem- ber of the College pistol team which visited West Point. and he returned from the weekend with ai complete dress uniform and confederate flag. He claims he got the flag from a southerner after he had convinced him that the South had won the Civil War. During the summer months. Bob's interests are with navigation in the R.C.A.F. and weekend flips to Toronto to visit Sheila. Plans for the future in- clude marriage. a degree in lVIechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto, and the air force.

Arty C.are Iirst saw the light of day on April 26, 1933 in the little town of Naksup on the Arrow Lakes in B.C. He moved to Chilliwack, B.L'. in 1943 where he attended both public and high schools. lt was here that Arty first got a taste of military life in spending six years in the cadet corps. This may have been his guiding star, for, upon graduation, he proceeded to LJ.M.R. in the fall of 1952. He spent two years at U.lV1.R., par- ticipating in representative basketball, volleyball and track and lield. then along with six of his bi-other cadets came to R.M.C. to try life here. Since arriving here in the fall of 1354, he has experienced all phases of college life including a short stay at that famous institution of medica- tion. namely K.M.H., where he collected casts on both feet for his trouble, and could be seen for several months after waltzing about in a rather tipsy manner. Even so, Arty's spirit, good hu- mour and conscientious attitude to college work led to his appointment as C.F.L. X flight. On the military side, Art found the R.C.E. to his liking and hence spent his summer months bustling about R.C.S.M.E. Future plans include a year at U.B.C., and then an ofiicer with the Engi- neers. All the college wishes him good luck and bon voyage . CR. A. GJ No. 3 639 C.F.L.

He obtained and accepted just plain Cote. Cote was born in Montreal on June 22nd, 1936 but after a brief encounter with that city moved to Ottawa and gained his secondary education at the Univer- sity of Ottawa. At the early age of seventeen Cote entered R.M.C. as a RCNCRJ cadet. After three years of outstanding academic proficiency he is now proving himself to be a very ca.pable Electrical Engineer- ing student. Cote's second year afforded the spec- tacular in that his academic success included the top award in English, combined with a naval assessment that credited him with a language difficulty . However, the highlight of his second year appeared with his involuntary subscription to the Great Eight . In the third year Cote ac- cepted the difficult task of Business Manager of The Markefr and handled this job very efliciently. Plans for the future include a degree from McGill University in Montreal After college Cote's success will be assured by his high academic achievements, his unusually keen understanding and interest in business and finance, and his congenial personality.

He was born in Calgary, where he later won a Navy League Scholarship to Royal Roads as a reserve naval cadet. In his second year, he transferred to the R.O.T.P. plan. He became quite attached to the countryside while there, and espe- cially to the Victoria girls. He played in the Royal Roads band and carried on his musical career at R.M.C. as a tenor drummer. ln welterweight box- ing he gained the championship in 1953 and 1957. Being a staunch naval cadet, he has been subjected to several cruises. In his first year, he toured Long Beach aboard I-I.lVI.C.S. New Glasgowg in his second, San Francisco with H.M.C.S. Stettlerg and in his third year, he went on a South American cruise aboard the cruiser 1I.M.C.S. Ontario. Don intends to continue mechanical engineer- ing at 'U.B.C. Most of us think that he chose U.B.C. to be closer to Victoria. Having no trouble in his studies so tar, he should be able to obtain his degree with ease. We wish him luck. UQ. B.

While at high school Ray used to good advantage his natural athletic ability and developed into a keen sports- man. This ability and experience proved a great asset to R.M.C. where he has played both rep basketball and rep volleyball, as well as being an energetic competitor in inter-squadron sports. 'Mo' has spent his summers among the star gazers at navigation school where he has developed into a sleepy but proficient back-seat driver. The distant future. however, will probably see him forsaking the air in favour of a life among thc capacitors and rectifiers which at present are cut- ting so heavily into his pit time, Ray has been fortunate in spending his entire four years in the 'Stone Boat' and has aided greatly in sustaining the traditional Frigate spirit. His ready smile and quick retort have generated many a laugh which I am sure will still ring in the years ahead when we pause to look back on our days at RM.C.

However, he survived that first month and gradually came to enjoy R.M.C. He spent his childhood on the banks of the Gatineau River before moving to Ottawa, which is now home. Georges stands out more by his character than anything else. One has to listen to him arguing to realize the broad-mindedness and independance which lies behind that quiet mind, and the keen and deep insight which he has in everything he analyses. Georges is a perfectionist in all his enterprises. His love for perfection can be asso- cizited with his care in developing the proper style in sports and his love for classical music. ' Georges enjoyed sports very mucn at R.M C. However. he finds that Sunday skiing at Camp Fortune is pretty hard to beat. He spent his summers with the Navy in and around Victoria. He has been known to share points of View differing slightly from those of Nelson. The future will surely incude a degree in civil engineering from McGill and some sort of investigation into Montreal's way of living. QB. D.D No. 3744 C.F.L.

This plus his remarkable apti- tude in the science and math subjects enabled him to stand at the head of the electrical engi- neering class and win the Hydro Scholarship in his third year. Joe visited far-off Penhold in his first sum- mer, but moved to Winnipeg in order to be closer to home. He hopes to get his navigator's wings this summer and then go to U of T for his degree. Wherever he may be. we wish him continued suc- cess. CE. BJ R.M.C. Review No. 3873 C.F.L. ALBERT MARK JOHN HYATT LONDON SOUTH COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Jack was born June 9, 1934 in London, Ontario. He attended London South Collegiate Institute. At this time his athletic endeavours included curling, football, basketball and track and field. He served on the Students Council, as well. On entering R.M.C. four years ago he was able, due to this previous training, to play all inter-squadron sports. For some time now Jack has been a member of the International Relations 'Club and this year was duly appointed president. Also, he belongs to the Debating Club and is president of the College entertainment committee. Jack, however, has not allowed these extra-curricular activities to inter- fere with his studies. He has managed to maintain a good second class average, as his ambition is to take an M.A. in History. This summer Jack spent three months in Germany with A Sqn. R.C D. and in all probability will be posted to this regiment upon graduation. Jack has not only athletic and social abilities, but a flair for administration as well. Thus, he is well occupied in his spare time With the duties of Adjutant for No. 4 Squadron. Best of luck to you, Jack. ' CD. A. L. L.J No. 3854 C.F.L. PETER ANTHONY KIRK MALVERN COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE From Ye Olde Towne of York tcommonly cal- led Torontoj, on the twelfth of January, 1935 came the initial wails of an infant destined to be O FXL '56-'57. Pete wasted no time in reaching that position. During his M.C.I. days he acquired a large collection of slightly used pipes. As a direct result of this, his friends expressed him to the VVest Coast in order to alleviate the horrible smog in Toronto. His two years at Royal Roads were full ones and he was appointed Cadet Wing Flight Leader during his senior year. He is a stalwart member of the famous class of 55-4-55. At R.M.C. he received what he had started after twenty-one years earlier-his red sash. Next year the University of Toronto will claim his al- legiance where he will get his B.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering. Then it is down to the sea in ships for Peter as a Siub-Lieutenant QLD. His easy-going personality and ready smile will continue to gain for Pete lifelong friends wherever he should roam. CJ. C. KJ NO. 3938 C.F.L. PETER GILBERT KIRKHAM LETHBRIDGE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE The Irrigation Capital of Canada's contri- bution to the class of '57 was among the chosen few to enter the Stone Frigate in the fall of 1953. A true soldier at heart, Pete had little difii- culty in becoming adjusted to the completely new way of life. His high spirits and dynamic per- sonality made him a very popular member of his class from the outset, and a great asset to his squadron. Pete has always been an advocate of squadron and college spirit and as such took an exceptionally keen interest in a.ll squadron and college social and sports activities. This, coupled with his own ideas on discipline, made him an obvious choice as 'CrSTO of No. 5 Squadron in his final year. The future is uncertain but in any event will include a degree in Civil Engineering, followed by at least three years in the army. His great love of service traditions, such as mess dinners, will likely lead to a future in the service. However. whatever happens, the future is certainly bright and full of promise and we wish him the best of luclt. CR. J. MJ 1957 No. 3746 C.F.L.

GEORGE EDWARD MCCLURE GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL First year was one of constant struggle and very few rewards but the fact that it was passed without supplementals attests to his determination. Once over this obstacle his personality emerged and the college gained an extremely cheerful, liumourous individual always ready to do his best for it. The most apparent manifestation of this was his hockey playing. Four years service were put in with the team. This year he became, if not the first. one of the few playing managers and without a doubt the first playing manager-social convener in the college's history. Next year will see the culmination of his studies in the obtaining of a degree in business administration, after which the Navy, in the fol- lowing three years, will either become the richest of Canada's three forces or have its ships sold out from underneath it. Good luck need hardly be wished, for success is certain, more appropriate would be a request to leave something for the rest of us. CW. VV. BJ No. 3852 C.F.L. JAMES ALEXANDER McPHERSON WESTDALE SECONDARY SCHOOL Phink can be best described with the old proverb: Still waters run deep . He had dreams of a civvy university, but never regretted that fate had sent him here. He claims he enjoys every minute of this life and we believe him, because his versatility and his Wonderful sense of humour enables him to have a good time even in the worst conditions. Having a certain facility in class he has been able to spend a fair amount of time learning about the more interesting aspects of a cadet's life, thus making for improved rela- tions between R.M.C. and Queen's students. His ability was recognized not only in the early stages of his career at Royal Roads, but even more during his training with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals where, as the best cadet of the year, he won the much coveted Jimmy trophy. Whatever he does after obtaining his degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Torc-nto, we are sure that Jim is bound to find life rewarding whether he continues with the Army or decides to take the freedom option in 1961. QJ. A. F. RJ No. 3822 C.F.L. TERRENCE BOURKE MAHOOD STRATHCONA HIGH SCHOOL VVe all know Terry as a cheerful son of Ed- monton. His popularity proves his virtues, so there is no need to expound them here. Let us instead outline some of his interests and activities during his four years of C.S.C. life. It all started in September 1953, when he joined the Royal Roads class of '55, Wliile out there his exploits were carried out thoroughly and with determination. These included boxing, radio club, inter-iiight sports, and girls. Even at R.M.C., young Terrence has shown just as keen an interest in the three fundamental fields of cadet activity, namely, sports, girls, and studies. But instead of boxing, he decided to excel in the more pleasant but no less rugged sport of soccer. He played on the senior team last fall. The main thing that this last year at R.M.C. has done for Terry Mahood is that it has satisfied his appetite for electrical engineering and has inspired him to even greater heights in that field. Terry has always shown a devotion towards this most honourable career, being a signaller and a ham at heart. This zeal will enable him to do well in civilian university next year, and in the R.C. Sigs in the future. In addition, warmth of personality will bring him friends wherever 'he goes. No, sir, Mr. Mahood is not an idle man! CJ. A. MCPJ 1957 No. 3923 C.F.L.

From his first entry into these halls, Mog has stood out as a brain. He is now taking Commerce and stands well up among the artsmen. Athletically, Mog has always been a driver. The same drive that has been so valuable to his squadron these last four years has won Mog the college featherweight crown in his recruit year and a place on the C.S.C. boxing team in his second. Mog spends his service training with the Gun- ners. Last summer he returned from Germany with a strong affinity for German hi-fl sets.

SERGE GILLEQS MORIN D'ARoY MCGEE HIGH SCHOOL As No. 2 Squadrons Sports Ofhcer. Serge led and urged his troops. with much success, along the rough paths of intramural sports. The post of Sports Ohficer suited Serge admirably. since he is an active organizer and participated in most college sporting activities. He could itoss a water polo ball before he could walk, and later, walking invariably led him to the ends of diving boards which the liked because fairly often there was water somewhere below. He developed his diving along with his water polo with great success in both. For three years he was the star diver at C.M.R. and at R.M.C. he took over that title for the three meter board. His own right arm won the water polo cup for No. 2 Squadron in both his third and senior years at R.M.C. The formation of the R.M.C. water polo team in the term of '56 was due to his initiative. Serge was one of the first cadets to success- fully pass through both C.M.R. and R.M.C. He was determined to show that his Hrst 'three years as a cadet at -C.M.R. had not been in vain. He proved himself at sports. in academics and as a leader, a record he is not likely to let slip. fl. K. SJ R.M.C. Review No. 3819 CFL.

CJ. P. CJ No. 3945 C.F.L. STEWART LIONEL O'KEEFE ELORA HIGH SCHOOL This Frigateer's military career began when he cut his teeth on his father's rifle, and with his Hrst words stand steady . Since then he has done much to prove he really does how to handle a rifle. During his 13 years of school in Elora, Ont., where he is suspected of graduating by use of brawn rather than brain, he developed his military sense by thinking of ways to get out of work. Is it any wonder that this cadet was Training Officer for No. 1 Squadron in his Hnal year? lStew's reason for coming to R.M.C. and escap- ing co-education was his great dislike for the weaker sex. To prove this dislike, Stew has been chasing them ever since. Stew's first and greatest love is the R.C.A.C., and his fondest dream is to hang his hat with the illustrious Strathcona Regiment. He will go to great length to prove the wonders of the R.C.A.C. as My Boy Will is whistled softly in the background. Stew is taking Commerce and hopes for a B.

His early experiences which were many and exciting are, unfortunately, too long to record here. In his high school cadet corps he developed a strong interest in the army and rose to the rank of Cadet Major. A natural result of his interest in the army was his arrival at R.M.C. where he joined the elite forces of No. 2 Squadron and later No. 6 Squad- ron. Dick is an athlete of considerable ability. He has played Junior Football in his recruit year and Senior Football for three years. He has made history by being the only member of that team to score a touchdown from a pass, because the other team pushed him over the line. It really was a nice catch, though! This was not Dick's only historic doing at the College, for he also was one of the famous Great Eight but enough about history.

At the same time he developed interest in military life through Kitchener-Waterloo's Army Cadet Corps, of which he was Lt-Col. for two years. Bayne's weakness at Royal Roads for blond beauties was overshadowed during his summer training at R.C.E.M.E. School, by his aptitude for electron tubes. During his second summer he joined a small, select group of R.C.E.M.E. cadets, all the members of which were called Sam . At R.M.C. his keen interest in photography came to the fore, particularly in photographing women. His continued interest in electronics, par- ticularly filters, earned him a second nickname the man with the oscilloscope ears .

PAUL FRANKLIN ROMYN CHATHAM COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Paul, while biazing the trail through fifth torm in Chatham, met a young lady who was destined to lay out his near future. The courtship was fast and, needless to say, his appearance at Royal Roads cinched the fact that he had signed the ledger and was now the ambitious husband of Miss R.O.T.P. His will to get ahead made his life at Roads quite pleasant, for he showed up very well both as a scholar and as a sport. He was a standout in intersquadron sports and was at his peak in hockey-not to mention his prowess with angora sweaters . We almost lost RF. that one predestined night f.Ian. 553 when at about fifty miles out of Chicago he went on a rampage, tore up a master:- piece of literature and vowed to become a preacher, but his faithfulness to his true love led him back to 55-4-55 and then on to new horizons at R.M.C. Romer soon became acquainted with his new home and despite the fact that he again found himself the underdog of a senior year, he was soon back in the game. Lately, though, his movements abroad have decreased and he seems to often shut himself up in his little shell with nothing but his attitude, mechanical engineering problems, record player, and dreams of soccer weekends in Montreal and golf in Simcoe.

CHARLES E-STIJIN SHEFFIED RYLICY TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL Tim was born in the Virginia mountains on October 7, 1934. Later. the British blood showed its effect when Tim moved to Ontario to complete his high school education at Trinity College School, The start of the military side of education began at Royal Roads in the fall of 1953. Here he proved himself to be an outstanding cadet and an excellent athlete as well as a capable student. He starred on the college football, basketball, track and volleyball teams. His first term appoint- ment of Cadet Wiiig' Commander was a just reward for his exceptional oflicer-like qualities. Coming to R.M.C. he chose to tackle the Elec- trical Engineering course as well as to pursue his specialties. track and basketball. His appearance on the squadron touch and tackle football teams constantly worried the opposition. During his first summer on the VVest Coast. he decided that the Navy slogan-GO Places, Go Navy-was misleading: thus he joined the ranks of the foot soldiers at Camp Borden for the next two summers. His keen interest in the service makes him a model soldier but he also finds time to run the track. - CJ. VJ NO. 3875 C.F.L. EARL VINCENT SCHAUBEL LISGAR COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Earl came to R.M.C. via Royal Roads from the City of Ottawa. The early part of his life was spent in the environs of Camp Borden and that is probably the reason behind his choice of a military career. Shortly after entering Royal Roads it was evident that Earl was one of the more conscientious ca.dets. Nevertheless. he was always readv to find the humour in any situation. Earl's personal enthusiasm carries over into all his endeavours. assuring success for the future in his chosen career as an Infantry Oflicer. This enthusiasm. applied to athletics. earned him the Peter F. Birks Memorial Award for all round proficiency in inter-squadron sports in his third year. It also enabled him to qualify for the Soccer I team in this his first year of representative soccer. Suitably, this year he was rewarded by an appointment as Cadet Squadron Sports Oflicer for the Big Grey . Earl's studies have never posed any serious problem to him, so he should have clear sailing next year when he takes his leave to obtain his degree in Civil Engineering. We look forward to the day when Earl assumes his rightful place in the military hierarchy and starts to raise many little Earls to carry on his RM.C. tradition. KG. L. LJ NO. 3564 C.F.L. VVILLIAM JAMES SHEIARING CLINTON DISTRICT COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Bill was born in Tillsonburg, Ontario, and when he was a small boy ot' six he did not go to school in that town like all other little boys. The reason was that when he was four years old he had moved to Clinton. Military life appealed to him and on completing high school-possibly because of acquaintances with liight cadets at Clinton-he decided to obtain a commission by attending R.M.C. R.M.C. will remember Bill not for the great things he did but rather for the many small things he did in a great way. He gained fame with his performances on the rifle and pistol teams, in inter- squadron activities, as president of the R.M.C. Engineering Society. and as an advocate of the tive year plan . As an Army Cadet summer training has been just as successful with the R.C.E.M.E. He had the good fortune of spending three summers in Kingston fhome of a very special girly and one in Germany. CF. A. HJ R.M.C. Review No. 3365 C.F.L. HUGH DOUGLAS SILVE2R BAIIC COMEAU HIGH SCHOOL Hugh alias Hughie alias the Beast Silver burst upon the world on December 30, 1935 in Halifax, NUS. At the tender age of three he mi- grated to the wilderness of Baie Comeau where he learned all about the trout and moose, and from there he eventually found himself at R.M.C. where he learned all about the birds and bees. During his college career he distinguished him- slf by his lurid description at dinner of various Montagnais delicacies and by his exaltation of the Great Outdoors fl la James Fenimore Cooper. Being ai Cadet CE! he rapidly developed a mania for sailing and soon became one of the most skillful sailors in the College. On many a stormy afternoon Hughie's salty language could be heard ashore above the sound of wind and swell as he be- laboured his whaler crew for their lubberishness. Through the years he mellowed to the extent that he dropped some of his more lurid dinnertime stories, and began to take an interest in the op- posite sex qparticularly during his notorious moon- light cruisesl. Next year Hugh plans to continue his studies in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. Hughie will always be remembered by his classmates for his unfailing cheerfulness and sense of humour. CJ. E. HJ No. 3877 C.F.L. DAVID ROY SPRINGETT BECK ICOLLECIATE April 24th, 1935 marked a venerable addition to London society. A precocious lad from birth, Dave sailed through primary and secondary schools. majoring in football, used cars, and, of course, the fairer sex. Deciding on a C.S.:C. education, Dave sold his used car lot and bid adieu to London to become part of R.M.C. 'iSprocket proved a valuable asset to the senior football squad, and, on the numerous weekends he made quite a bit of amorous yardage with out-of-town gals. In Dave's third year he proved his academic prowess by winning the Mechanical Engineering prize. After Dave's inception in the Armoured Corps he has done nothing more serious than throw a simulated artillery shell into a small clump of bushes which contained sundry Captains, Majors and Colonels. After graduation, Dave intends to obtain a B.Sc. from either Queens or Varsity. Following this, we may be certain that his every endeavour will be abetted by his sense of humour, integrity and determination. CW.A.P.J No. 3707 C.F.L. DAVID EARL STOTHERS LAKE COVVICHAN HIGH SCHOOL Dave appeared from the Woods of British Columbia, Where he was born on February 25, 1935, and began his C.S.C. career at C.M.R. in 1952. Having spent two reportedly excellent Years at C.M.R., he was transferred to RM.C. in 1954 with second year. He immediately impressed his classmates and his seniors as being a particularly fine cadet and a very good friend to have. Although he is one of the pillars of R.M.C., his first love is the Artillery. It is believed that this is the reason he pits in class-he is dreaming of his days as a field soldier. For his outstanding work at RM.C. and in his first two summers at Camp Shilo, Dave was posted to Germany in the summer of 1956. to the R.C.H.A. From the many stories he has told. and from the new name he acquired, it is evident that he enjoyed himself very much. Next fall, Dave is planning to continue his studies in Civil Engineering at U.B.'C., and on the completion of this plans a permanent career in the R.fC.A. All the best goes With him. We know he will succeed in all that he sets out to do. QM. A. HJ 1957 No. 3770 C.F.L.

This was 19343 now in 1.957 tall Bob, after five years of military college, is ready to burst out into the world as an army officer. Bob Worked very hard at his military career. Prior to coming to C.M.R., he spent four months at Camp Borden as an otiicer cadet in the Infantry. Later on he switched to the Armoured Corps be- cause he found it too hard sleeping while walking. He attained the rank of C.F.L. in his final year. and acted as Sports Officer of No. 5 Squadron. Lazy, lucky Bob took studies as a pastime which never did take much of his time, but he always managed to pass all his exams and obtain good marks. Next fall he intends to continue his study at Dalhousie in his home town. His main ambi- tion is to perfect a noiseless tank so that he can sleep undisturbed. KJ. MJ No. 3935 C.l5'.L.

VVhile at R.M.C. Ted has discovered such un- usual things as girls and five Math supps in three years were not the answer to a poor cadet's prayer. But Ted, one of those rarities, a reservist, hasn't let the studies worry him and has participated in almost every college activity. His drive on the sports field enabled him to play senior soccer in his final year besides his many souadron sports.. Ted has also been active with the Zllfwkei' and the Review staffs interiningled with his appearance at football games as a cheerleader. With visions of many hours in R.M.C.'s favourite retreat, Ted bravely entered Commerce and has been fortunate enough to elude social studies. the scourge of all Commerce men. In spite of his threats to quit and join the Armoured Corps via R.O.T.P., the lure of coinage is too great and next year should find Ted in Chartered Accountancy at McGill. Wherever he goes, with his happy disposition and spirit of co-operation one can see nothing but success in his chosen Held. CL. F. PJ No. 3786 C.F.L. DOUGLAS WAYNE TUFTS MADOG HIGH SCHOOL On December Sth, 1932. Doug arrived on the scene in the town of Madoc, Ontario. A few years later Doug arrived on the Services College scene. At first, he impressed his classmates as a serious, law-abiding cadet. The first impression we had gained was completely dispelled when pranks. inter-squadron melees and riots, masterminded bv Doug and his friends. interrupted the well- disciplined atmosphere of the College. However, Doug in spite of his participation in these shenanigans, showed himself to be a good, steady cadet from all points of view. Being one of the brighter lights of the C.M.R. football and hockey teams, as well as being academically sound. Doug was an ideal choice to go to Kingston a year early to represent C.M.R. in the R.M.C. second year class. Here at RMQC.. Doug has continued to show up as one of the more valuable members of the class, having played both on the senior hockey team and the junior football team at various times. Doug's summer training has taken place at that mecca for R.C.A.F. navigators, Station Winni- peg. It was there that Doug won his wings as an Airborne-Interceptor Observer. Doug plans to join a squadron after a year at university, where he wishes to obtain a degree in civil engineering. The best wishes of the class go with him in both these pursuits. KD. R. E. SJ R.M.C. Review No. 3836 C.F1L. JERRY VALIHORA HARROW HIGH SCHOOL Jerry, a Reserve cadet, came to R.M.'C. from two very successful years at Royal Roads. He graduated from there with Hrst class honours. standing seventh in his term. Here, Jerry entered the electrical engineering course in which he did very well. Last year he mastered the electrons and sine waves and promises to repeat his good work this year. An excellent soccer player, he was a standout on the second team this year. He has sojourned the past three summers in the air with the air force. Next year promises a degree from U of T. But there is decidedly more to Jerry than the bare facts of a biography. Few have contributed more of their talents to the Work of gymnasium decorating. He has never failed at any time to drop whatever he is doing to help those less en- lightened comrades among the electricals. He has been ai staunch friend to all his term mates who agree that he richly deserves the Flight Leaders' bars he won this year. Best of luck in the future Jerry: if hard Work brings success, yours will be great. n CC. I. MJ No. 3696 C.F.L. MICHAEL IAN VALIQUET OTTAWA TECHNICAL SCHooL Mike was born on May 19th, 1934 in Ottawa and received his early education there. After high school he applied for C.M.R. and thus started his career in the service. In 1956 Mike arrived at R.M.C. and here, as at C.M.R., he soon became one of the more pro- minent personalities in his class, due to his acade- mic ability and his exceptionally keen sense of humour. His interests at R.M.C. have been many. He played representative football during both years and was an active member on many of the inter- squadron teams. His football teammates will long remember him as up the hill Valiquetn, a nick- name he earned the hard Way while getting in shape for the gridiron. Having joined that select circle of artsmen. Mike soon found that the Commerce option was all that it was cracked up to be. Between spells of making high marks and kidding engineers about their uncertain futures. Mike found time to draw cartoons for The Marlcer. His immediate plans include marriage soon after graduation and Western University in the fall. If energy, determination and ambition are the keynotes to success, We will undoubtedly be hearing a lot more about Mike in the years to come. CG. B. GJ No. 3721 C.F.L. WAIJLACE DEAN WELLSMAN ST. CATHARINE. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE I remember a warm day in September in our senior year at high school, when in the middle of a chemistry class Dean received a telegram. He got up, grinned from ear to ear, and said: 'Tm gt-ing to St-Jean. .So long, boys. Without another word he Walked out to join the gallant ranks of the first graduating class of 'C.M.R. I didn't see much of him again until three years later when upon my return to the College, he announced fwith that same grin on his facey that he was down the hall from me on the upper deck of Fort Haldimand. Since Dean chose History as his course he is numbered among the enlightened few who main- tain that the mind functions best when the body is horizontal. In his case this theory seems to work well, as he keeps up a good average. He is a career soldier and should have a promising future in the Royal Canadian Artillery if summer reports are any indication.

JOHN RICHARD WIGMORE MARKHAM DISTIIICT HIGH SCHOOL On June 7th, 1933, Greek awoke for the first time. He has been trying to catch up on his sleep ever since. A tour with the Reserve Army during his high school years turned him towards Royal Roads upon graduation. J'ohn's amiable personality and his ability to become a welcome addition to any group were part of the characteristics that led him to a C.W.C. posi- tion in his senior year at Royal Roads. While there he also found time for the rifle and football teams tbecoming one of the bell hops of the 1953 seasonj. On coming to R.M.C., John became an un- fortunate advocate of the five-year plan. Still he took time to become a member of the band, of the junior football team, and of the Ivlczfrkei' staffg he even took up barbering. John's summers were spent with the Infantry and his capabilities led him to a posting in Ger- many in his third summer. Next year John plans to get his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering at U.B.C. but before that he intends to get his Master of the Household .

WILLIAM CLAIR WOODBURY LONDON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE After Clair moved from Arcola, Sask. to Leamington, Ont. he iigured he had moved to the tropics when it rained on Christmas. He soon changed his mind, however when he came down to Kingston. It is pleasing to know that even a military college need not be all secular, for Clair was the organizer and ardent supporter of a bible study course within the College. As well, he had a large part in organizing a choir for the Protestant Church services. The fighting adj of No. 7 Squadron has set quite a few records gt R.M.C. He is the only person to have ever lived opposite a fire alarm in Fort Haldimand and slept through a fire drill. He holds the college record in the number of passes used per year. Of course, to attain this record he had an incentive by the name of Mary Ann. Seriously, it is in academics that 'Clair has set real records. He always stood in the top three of his class in first and second years, but in third year. while taking the Engineering Physics course, he attained the highest average in all the third. year engineering.

Dave has devoted himself to his studies and activities very conscientiously and was a strong supporter of his squadron and the College. He lent his talent to the decorations and entertainment committees and was one of the few faithful members of the Glee Club. In his fourth year he was given the appointment of No. 3 Squad- ron nCadet Sports Oflicer and he proved to be a cap- able organizer. Dave's choice of service was the R.C.A.F. and he spent two summers navigating around Winni- peg. Although he had his heart set on flying he reluctantly decided to give up the battle between air motion and his stomach. After transferring to the Aeronautical Engineering Branch he moved closer to home and his fiancee. Wanda, and spent his third summer training in Aylmer, 41.203 miles from her doorstep.

WILLIAM JOHN ALBRECHT CENTRAL SECONDARY SCHOOL A momentous event ocurred in the little town of Saskatoon, Sask. on February 17th, 1935-Bill was born. However, he proved to be too much of a plague there, so his parents moved him to the hardier city of Hamilton. It is from there that he was released from Central High to attend R.M.C. in 1953. He has distinguished himself at the College by taking a keen interest in drill, inter-squadron sports and fencing. In this latter sport, he has excelled from the very beginning and has been an invaluable member of his club. His entry under R.O.T.P. meant also joining the R.C.A.F. Bill is a pilot and has completed his Yellow Peril training last summer at Penhold. The last half of his second summer saw him at VVinnipeg, flying those lowly navs in E-xpeditors. The experience didn't seem too much for him, however, for Bill came back to RM.C. full of vigour to tackle Electrical Engineering. Next year, he hopes to get his degree at Queens, and while most of his buddies are con- templating marriage on graduation, Bill loves bac-.-elorhood too much for that. CR. A. J.J No. 3968 C.S.C. ALFRED VICTOR ANDREWS BARRIE DISTRICT COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Vic entered the world in Toronto on March 25th. 1934, and until joining R.O.T.P. in 1953 his school days were spent mainly in travelling from one town to the next. He graduated in 1953 in Barrie. Through the years Vic has taken a major part in many sports. During his first year at R.M.C. Vic was a member of the basketball team, and in his second year a member of both the rifle and swim teams for the C.S.C. Tournament. In his final two years Vic has confined most of his sporting activity to the squadron level, helping to win the relay for the third straight year. He added further to his busy life by acting as The Mcwke-r s liaison editor. Vic has spent his summers with the Navy, and in his third summer he received the rank of cadet captain. Vic is undecided if the Navy will be his career. However he has decided to enter Queen's next fall for his engineering degree.

Rolly entered the world in Brantford, Ontario. where he spent the greater part oi his youth. He received his high school education in Simcoe be.ore migrating to Royal Roads. After two years on the West Coast, Rolly came to R.M..C. where he is now taking Electrical Engineering. Rolly's desire to see the WOI'lCl made him join the R.C.N.

After g'I'2l,ClLl2Ltl1lg lrom night school he became an artsman at U.B.C., but after two years realized that engineering was more interesting. Consequently, we met hiln at Royal Roads in the fall of 1953. Having served in the Sea Cadets and the Reserve Navy, he naturally chose the Senior Ser- vice as a caleer, a choice his younger brother was later to make as well. Because of an enduzing interest. developed during his earlier training, lll the mechanical aspects of naval weapcns, he selected the Ordnance Branch. At Royal Roads, Ed was a member of the soccer and cross-country teams and at R.M.C. has been an asset to LaSalle Squadron, particu- larly in soccer and hockey. Between weekends in Kingston, Ed gained valuable experience at the Dominion Engineering VVorks in Montreal last summer, and due tc his determination and conscientiousness will malte a competent engineer. His devotion to the OI'tlll3llCC Branch, coupled with an optimistic outlook on life, cheerful disposition and fine sense of humour assure his success in the Navy. Best of luck. Ed. CR. F. JJ R.M.C.

GLENN BRADFORD GIDDINGS GRANBY HIGH SCHOOL Wlien Glenn entered the College Militaire Royal de St-Jean, his blond profile and generallyi sweet nature inevitably led to the nickname Tweetie-Pie for Tweet for shorti, which stuck throughout his military college career. At C.M.R. he was known best for the hard work which he put into making successes of the Christ- mas and Final Balls as well as his undying love for writing history sup-ps. Tweetie is a go1fball, spending most of his time getting lost in and around the Naviga- tors School at Winnipeg, and he hopes to be the backseat driver in a CF-100 next summer. Again, he showed his dependability and flair for Organi- zation as manager of the R.M.'C. Senior Football Team. Tweetie intends to follow up the electrical en- gineering course which he took at R.M.C. with a B.Sc. in the same at U. of T. And if the fact that he spends many of his waking hours humming or singing Annie Get Your Gunn means anything, wedding bells will undoubtedly turn his previously planned bachelor apartment into a bridal suite!

At the age of four the federals chased him east to Toronto Where he graduated from Mimico High School in 1953. There he played a clarinet in the Air Cadet band so that when he came to R.M.C. it was a simple transi- tion to play the bagpipes in the R.M.C. pipe band. Besides bridge, chess and stamp collecting, Dave also dabbles in civil engineering. Around exam time, not even the squeal of bagpipes can drive fellow class mates away from his door. His high LQ. in this course has kept him near the top of his class. There's a rumour going around that he carries a condensed version of a UNIVAC around in his head. In sports, Dave participates actively in pretty well every inter-squadron sport and always does his best for the greater glory of old number one .

Two successful summers at Camp Borden of trench digging and poison ivy convinced George that the Infantry was for him. His third summer was spent with the lst Canadian Guards in Gage- town, where he earned the Gagetown Star for valour above and beyond the call of duty.

Born in Montreal, Don lived for a few years in Quebec City. However. finding it a bit dull Don persuaded the family to return to Montreal where he attended Mont Saint Louis College. During his summers he worked at various jobs which allowed him to have his hair long and curled, but in September 1952, along with 1214 other stalwarts, Don arrived at C.M.R., and despite his protests, got his first haircut. Don's first choice of corps was the Artillery, but once he discovered that the guns had to be cleaned after firing he transferred to the R.C.E. This move proved to be a wise one, for his third phase was spent behind a desk in Montreal. While at 1C.M.R.

During his early days there Nick established himself as an outstanding boxer and football player. In the C.S.C. Tournament 1954- 55, Nick won his match in the light heavyweight field. In football, Nick played on the line for the representative team. While being a compatriot of Frank De Rice. Nick felt that the air force was the source of his choice. Nick spent three summers at the Naviga- tors' School at Winnipeg at the completion of which he received his Wings.. Nick is one of those individuals who chose Civil Engineering at his field. The attractions and temptations of Montreal more or less dominated his will. Thus, he decided to take soils rather than carry on with the general scheme of things. in order to enter into the University of McGill. Nick has one of the nicest personalities of anyone in the College. At all times, Nick is known for his good-naturedness. VVhether he intends to stay in the air force after three years or not, I cannot help but feel that he will be well liked by anyone who comes into contact with him. QA. R. DJ No. 3972 C.S.C. RALPH GERALD ROS-S ASHBLTRY SCHOOL COLLEGE At the early age of 0, on October 25, 1935 to be exact. he awoke for his first watch, bawled like a bos'un, rolled over like a floundering frigate and fell asleep. This all hapened in Montreal. Gerry began his more formal education at Ashbury School 'College in Ottawa, indulging with no little skill in a variety of sports-skiing, soccer, football, swimming and cricket. When Gerry entered R.M.C. in 1953 he carried his athletic ability with him. He represented the College in soccer and skied on two championship teams. Sailing and swimming also came in for a share of his talents. The first two years of sum- mer training took Gerry west, where all young men should go, to Esouimalt, B.C. Somewhere in between, Gerry worked in a Mechanical Engineering course which he plans to complete by returning to Montreal and entering McGill University. With this and his subsequent naval career we wish him good sailing with or without sail. CR. N. PJ R.M.C. Review No. 3315 C.S.C. .JAMES BERNARD SCOTT ST. PA'rn1CK's HIGH SCHOOL Jim was born in Quebec City on September lSth, 1934 and brought a glimmer of light to a world deep in depression, His formal education began at St. Patricks School for Brilliant but Wayward Children, where he majored in extra- curricular activities. Jim breezed through high school and in 1953 entered R.M.C. to begin in earliest a career of relieving the capitalistic Cana- dian tax-payer of his hard-earned cash. As an Oflicer Cadet of the Royal Canadian Engineers, Jim naturally studies Chemical Engi- neering at R.M.C., and has no difficulty in stand- ing in the top five of his course. As a Chemical Engineer he always has plenty of old retorts at his Hngertips. Jim will be remembered for his dormitory-shaking second for bridge! , his aro- matic bidding, his very descriptive weak opener , and his silent hours whisper , A member of the R.O.T.P. -Club, Jim's future lies with the R.C.E., digging ditches while Visions of fractionating columns dance through his head. VVhatever tomorrow brings, be it shovels or test tubes, .Iim's friendly manner and acute sense of humour assure his success in any endeavour. - CD. J. GJ No. 3900 C.S.C. BRIAN DAVID SMALLMAN-TEW WESTON COLLEGIATE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Brick, commonly known as Tillicum-TeW , began operations in dear old Limey Land, in Windsor more precisely, on August 24th, 1934. He left the Old Country at an early age and esta- blished his ouarters in Toronto, where he grad- uated from W.C.V.lS. in the :Spring of '53, Upon receiving his Senior Matriculation diploma he decided to serve his country, so he entered Royal Roads as a flight cadet in the R.C.A.F. During his summers, he adroitly tried to con- vince the brass in the air force that he was a keen, ambitious f?3 young man, all the while training to get navigator's wings. After three phases of twifldling and turning knobs. and reading pocket hooks, he obtained his Observer, Air Borne In- terceptor Wings which he now proudly displays. At R.M.C.. during his spare time and between dates and phone calls, he follows a course called Social Studies at which he excels fthe social part, any- wayl. His participation in many college sports has proven him to be quite an athlete, especially in football, swimming, skiing and last but not least, elbow bending fthe right one. that isj. LI. P. FJ No. 3866 C.S.C. IAN KEITH STEUART KING EDWARD VII HIGH SCHOOL The first thing about Mau Mau that impres- sed us when he came to Royal Roads from Johan- nesburg, South Africa was his great physical size. Since then we have come to know many other things about the stalwart African. A lesser man would require a long recitation of deeds and abilities to place him foremost in the ranks of his fellows. Not so Mau Mau -all you have to do is walk up to him and have him look down and through you from his imposing height of 6' 4 and you begin to gain some idea of the measure of the man. His achievements as College Heavyweight Champion. holder of several college swimming records and Literary Editor of the Review are merely incidentals to a career in which such things are commonplace. The years of culture and association at Col- lege have in some ways mellowed the old mastiff. Basically, he is still the same however-the old high standards, the humour. the old world courtesy are still there. He will graduate from R.M.C. well liked. but most of all respected by his classmates. The future sees him leading that last, gallant dive in his 'CF 100 fthe Air Force, as pilot, is now to be his lotb or, when all else fails, holding his crew of native workmen together like a rock, building the last abutment of that bridge, some- where in the lonely wastes of South Africa.

Born at or about midnight on March 25th, Darwin's first recorded words were I've been thinking . He found his way to Royal Roads in 1953 and has plagued professors ever since. His Royal Roads career was a series ol' wine. women and song. He hit R.M.C. in third year a.nd soon had Mechanical Engineering lecturers suing for peace. In sports, Darwin or Denis the Menace as he is better known, is usually found either on the tennis Courts or playing badminton. He represented R.M.C. in a series of games last year and has always been a staunch soccer player. This year he played senior soccer as left inside. Last summer our hero went to Germany with the R.C.E.M.E. and succeeded in confusing com- pletely a number of air line oiiicials. However, he managed to cover Europe during the summer, visit- ing Rome, Paris. Amsterdam Copenhagen Sweden, Belgium and England.

Most bewildering of all were the strange new words we had to contend with. Pebbles , spifiies and whisks had no meaning for us whatsoever. Who is the Old Eighteen' 7 we wondered. Where does one find Irish pennants? Why run in circles? And what in heaven's name is froust? We soon found out. Sheets of College history and geography were thrust at us, and we were bombarded with an endless series of seemingly irrelevant questions. When asked by a senior where Peace could be found we invariably felt like replying: At home , but found that an allusion to the Currie Building had more gratifying results. The days passed quickly as we grew accustomed to college routine, and we even prided ourselves that we could Nbeat the system , only to realize, as we turned out for circles parade that we could not. The first major indication of our evolution as cadet came when we started wearing F.S. caps instead of pill boxes, and the next thing we knew we were passing off the square and going into town. Our first stand-down weekend came as a pleasant interlude, though the subsequent mid-term test marks shocked us into the realization that we had been neglecting our all-important studies. The events on our calendar passed with startling rapidity. The famous, or infamous, obstacle race became a soggy memory, and soon we found it hard to believe that we were once obliged to wear name tags. The nerve-jarring experience of recruit boxing gave way to the even more nerve-jarring proximity of Christmas exams, and suddenly we were home for Christmas leave. If the first term passed quickly, our leave passed even more so, and we were back and practising for the C.S.C. Tournament before we realized it. Our class was well represented in the tournament and we were able to meet the Royal Roads and C.M.R. cadets who will be joining us in our third year. Our first mess dinner was a novel experience and a great success and then our last event of note, the Cakewalk, loomed close. With the invaluable guidance of two fourth year cadets, we put on a show that was voted by many the best they had seen, and the cake, presented to the Class of '60, for the Class of '60, was eaten by the Class of '60. Clf anyone should hear two cadets quacking to each other, he may be sure they are in the Class of '60.l We are all looking forward to being in the second year next term, but l am sure that no matter what lies ahead, this past year will be our most memorable. No. 4860 A.J.G.D. DECHASTELAIN Ex-CADET WEEKEND Ex-Cadet Weekend, the traditional 'fOld Boys' Reunion at the College. took place this year on September 29th. Recruits, somewhat worried by malicious rumours about these gentlemen, were agreeably surprised to find that the Ex-Cadets were genuinely interested in their careers and ambitions, and weren't too preoccupied with such enquiries as the interesting question of whether Cadet Wurtele used Brasso or Silvo on his buttons. 52 R.M.C. Review On the Saturday morning of the Weekend, our regular drill parade was modified to bring it to ceremonial standard. We had a march past, at which Col. Pousetto took the salute, and the whole parade went off very smoothly, im- pressing even the keenest of Ex-Cadets. . To further show our graduates that the College was maintaining its high standards in all fields of endeavour, our senior football team soundly defeated Carleton University on Saturday afternoon. The evening was aptly concluded for the Ex-Cadets by a Mess Dinner. After the Cadet Church Parade on Sunday morning the Ex-Cadets formed up on the square in preparation for the traditional march to the Memorial Arch. As they swung smartly off the square, the Cadet Wing, gathered along the road- way in the inner enclosure, sang Precision,' and cheered the passing Ex-Cadets resoundingly. No. 4461 A. E. LANE THE GUARD OF HONOUR - It all began in the early fall, soon after the cadets returned from summer training, with rumours and conjectures. Not long after the initial trials, the lists of those cadets chosen to be on the RMC '4Rep Drill Team came out and practices started in full swing. At first the drill left much to be desired but soon, under the expert instruc- tion of RSM Coggins, things began to shape up pretty well. The soccer field and the parade square served alternately as the coliseum for practising the move- ments which were to bring spontaneous reactions of approval from the crowd. Soon the big day arrived. Rifies, webbing, boots, gaiters, and swords were pacekd and one hundred and seven cadets started off to Toronto. After arriving at 6PD the cadets settled down to put the finishing touches on their gear, then, with one empty army bus tagging along behind in case one of the first crowded ones broke down, they set out for the CNE grounds. The parade was formed in the West Annex of the Coliseum under the eyes of curious spectators and quite a few recent ex-cadets. Tension mounted as the group was moved to the entrance to the coliseum itself, none was quite sure of how this was going to come off. The order to slope arms came. The horses were moving off. No, they were going to make another run so the order arms was given. Again another try, but again the horses stayed on, it seemed as if they planned to spend the night there. Finaly the tension reached a peak and passed. Then, as soon as evrybondy was relaxed the orders came and RMC was on parade . Although the conditions were not the best, the cadets were relaxed and took everything in their stride so the parade was a great success. Both the Governor General and the Commandant were very pleased. The perfect ending to the evening came with a cocktail party put on for the cadets at HMCS York by the Toronto Ex-Cadets. No. 4106 P. MEINCKE SOCIAL NOTES Last year's experimentation with extra dances was put on firm basis this year, with informal dances held regularly during the year. These events were certainly a welcome addition to college life and proved to be so successful that 1957 53 for a few of the later ones a live orchestra was obtained to replace the f'canned music. The formal balls were again very successful this year, being well organized and well attended. The first one was held on the second of November. The gym had been transformed into the mythical city of Atlantis on the ocean floor. complete with fluttering crepe giving the impression of a water surface above, and murals of the sea bottom covering the walls. From nine until two cadets and their ladies danced to the excellent music of the RCAF Training Command band with a short intermission at midnight to enjoy a late supper in the mess. December 21 was clear and crisp, a fit night for the Christmas ball, and with Christmas exams over and two weeks of holidays in view it certainly could not fail to be a huge success. The gym walls were covered by murals depicting scenes from Dickens' A Christmas Carol, while cedar boughs scented the air and suspended snowflakes fluttering overhead lent to the holiday spirit. The RCCS band from Vimy supplied the music from nine till three with time out for carol singing and a tremendous dinner which Lt. Johnson had laid on in the mess. To terminate the CSC tournament a formal ball was held on February 23. A very large crowd attended, augmented, of course, by the visiting athletes from the other two Colleges. The highlight of the evening were the presentations of the Claxton Cup to CMR as the winning team and of the Marshall award to Captain Charles in lieu of CWC MacAvitty of Royal Roads Cwho was un- fortunately absentl as the outstanding sportsman. A variety of good music was supplied by the Guards Dance Band from nine until two and again there was a delicious meal in the mess to cap off what was for most of the cadet wing the end of the RMC social season. T. K. MoRToN THE MARKER This year The Marker Staff had to aim its sights high to approach the standards set by last year's staff under the leadership of George Mainer. Never- theless, although most issues have been limited to eight pages and there have been fewer pictures in these pages, we feel that we have succeeded in giving our readers a more comprehensive reporting picture of the College activity scene. Several of last year's more unproductive departments were eliminated, thus giving the staff more leeway to concentrate on the day to day events which make up our life. At this writing the Canadian Services Colleges Tournament has just come to a very successful completion here at RMC. Editors and reporters have had a field day gathering and writing up reports on this, the major sports event of the College year. Unfortunately, the greater part of this year's Markers have consisted of sports, and we cannot but realize that this does not present a very complete view of College life to those readers who are 'fon the outside . On the other hand, some new features have been instituted. This year has seen the Squadron News Section come of age. Perhaps the most popular item has been The Bright Spot, a Bruce Westian column spawned by some character named Sim , while cartoons by Messers Valiquet and Reimann have evoked considerable comment and amusement. The end of the year is now in sight and with it comes the end of a most valuable and gratifying association with The Marker. The staff would like to 54 R.M.C. Review take this opportunity to thank Prof. P. F. Fisher, Staff Advisor of The Marker, Editor of THE REVIEW and Head of the Department of English for his timely advice and encouragement. Foster and North should also receive much credit for their patience and technical know-how. By the time your copy of THE REVIEW has been distributed you will no doubt have in your hands the year-end issue of The Marker. In it you will find an indication of things to come, for it will have been published by next year's staff and should echoe their policies for the coming Volumn IX. Here's wishing them a most successful year! -No. 3861, CADET G. W. GOODERHAM, EDITOR DEBATING CLUB Fittingly enough, the R.M.C. Debating Club concluded its activities of the year by a victory over the West Point Club during the annual West Point Week- end. Our successful year, during which victories were scored against such oppon- ents as Osgoode Hall, the University of Toronto, Queen's University, and Carleton College, certainly justified the Debating Clubis existence. The small number of participants in the Club is due mainly to some fallacies generally held among the cadet wing. The first one is that one must have previous experience before he can belong to the Debating Club. The very purpose of the ,Club is not to win debates but to train cadets to express themselves more clearly and with facility while facing an audience. The second fallacy is that debating takes up too much time. This is also untrue, since most of our debates here are extemporaneous and we only require sound preparation for outside debates. Any one of us who realizes the benefits to be derived from debating will certainly want to spend an hour or so after supper every week. Let us hope that next year proves even more successful than this one and that cadets from all years will realize the importance of the fine art of debating. No. 3638 J. A. F. RENAUD ' PIPE BAND The pipe band was once again this year a familiar sight on drill and church parades, at football and hockey games, and at special occasions such as the C.S.C. Tournament. At one hockey game the band members outnumbered the spectators, and their hearty cheering was more effective than usual. Cold weather proved to be an ineffective deterrent when the band led the February church parade into Kingston. Highlight of its fall term activities was the football trip to McMaster University, while those of the winter term were the Tourna- ment and the hockey trip to Perth, where the band provided the music and a drill exercise on the ice at the benefit hocky game. Although the band lost considerable piping and drumming talent through graduation, the addition of pipers Kinlock and Thom and drummer Macdonald from Royal Roads and piper DeChastelain from the recruit class provided an excellent replacement. During the fall, piper Kelly from C.M.R. and drummers Smale and Klimoff joined the playing band, while pipers Gregory, Wigmore, Steuart, Greenfield, Methven, Dunbar, Smithies, and Sharkey returned from last year's band. The crisp voice of drum-major McMaster has become a familiar sound to the Cadet Wing. At present, Archibald, Skaling and Robison are learning to play the pipes. 1957 55 All members have worked hard to produce a good standard of music under the capable direction of C.F.L. Gregory, the pipe-major and Cadet Wing Band Officer. The professional instruction of Flight Sergeant Mackenzie of the R.C.A.l . Rockcliffe band has been of great assistance, while Major Anderson has given invaluable general direction and enthusiastic support. This year the quality of performance was ensured both by the influx of new members from the sister colleges and by the development of novice players from the first two years at R.M.C. There is every indication that this will continue and that the pipe band will maintain its position as an integral part of R.M.C. No. 4143 K. D. SHELDRICK NEWMAN CLUB Activities of the Club for the year 1956-57 came to a close at the final f'Newman Nite on February 22 with the annual elections. From this date on, the new executive took over the reins. In the RMC section of the Queen's Newman Club, our president, Jim Doyle, and his executive provided efficient leadership throughout the year. At the RMC elections the retiring officers, CFL Doyle, president, Cadet Paukstaitis, vice-president, and Cadet Lavallee, treasurer handed over their posts to the new executive: Cadets Simpson, Franklin, and Cepuch. Every two weeks Newman Nite was held at the Jeanne Mance residence. Benediction at the Cathedral started the evenings off, followd: by an intellectual hour over which our chaplain, Monsignor Hanley presided. In November 'fNewman Nitei' was held at the College with a discussion and entertainment organized by the cadets. There was a good crowd and a good time was had by all. In conjunction with the Queenis Newman Club, Newman mass followed by Communion breakfast in Kingston, was well attended by the RMC cadets. 56 R.M.C. Review At these breakfasts, various speakers of wide experience and high positions talked on a wide range of interesting educational topics. An RMC communion breakfast was held in February after early Church parade and mass. This was the first such function and, after an inspiring speech, the cadets were looking forward to the next Newman mass at the college, hoping it would become an annual event. Throughout the year considerable interest in all Newman functions was shown by the RMC branch and it is certain that this Newman spirit will continue to grow among the Catholic cadets at RMC. CADET J. B. FRANKLIN THE R.M.C. DRAMA CLUB Despite its small numbers the Drama Club had a very active year. Under the guidance of Mr. D. C. Farquharson the club had a number of successful play readings during the fall climaxed by a hilarious enactment of Candlelight,'. Jean Carriere turned in a fine performance of a Russian Count who spoke English with a French accent. ' During the second term our energies were turned toward the annual production. The Dear Departed was chosen for presentation and was most ably directed by Deidre Warren. Because cadets are very inept as females several young ladies were imported for the duration of the play. As a result there was not too much difficulty in getting the cadets involved in the rehearsals. The girls, Mary Gilroy and Toni Stevens Ccourtesy of Queensl and Beverly Ramsay Ccourtesy of Doug Sexsmithj turned in stirling performances. They were ably backed up by Bill Albrecht, Jay Kennedy and Jim Brough. Behind the scenes, our hard working president Dick Patterson was constantly on the run to ensure smooth performance. Earl Mansfield did a wonderful job of acquiring the set and a few bruises at the same time. A latecomer but not to be outdone was Everett Kearly who did a wonderful iob on publicity. After the party a small party was held on stage which greatly added to our festivities, a fitting conclusion to an enjoyable season. No. 3960, J. C. KENNEDY THE ELECTRONICS CLUB The Electronics Club got off to a slow start this year, but interest in the club was kept alive during the fall term by Cadet Dean and company and their activities with the AT3 and receiver. During the winter term a group was formed who were mainly interested in building projects. This group seemed to have picked up the Hi-Fi craze and built Hi-Fi amplifiers and tuners. Among these audiophiles were cadets Alex- ander, Hallas, Stenton, Meineke and Walton. Help was always available from F XO Gilbert and sometimes from fellow cadets. The Electronics Club will soon be moving into new quarters in the recently renovated Panet House. The club, under the direction of FXO Gilbert, has recently bought new equipment and a new transmitter has been made available. It is hoped that next year, with the new quarters and available equipment, a keener interest will be taken in the club. This year's club wishes to thank the Eectrical Engineering Department and in particular FXO Gilbert for all the help and advice received during the year. No. 4029 F. R. WALTON 12157 57 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Under the excellent guidance of Dr. R. A. Preston, the International Rela- tions Club concluded another very successful year. A group of distinguished speakers addressed the cadets on various world problems, including the integration of Europe, Communist China, and the middle East. Canadian attitudes towards the USA were also discussed at one meeting. The club also sent representatives to three students conferences, which are described below. lf. M I' X29 M Z . M if U.N. - WINDSOR On February 22nd-23rd the Assumption University at Windsor very successfully played the part of host to representatives of eighteen Canadian and American universities which assembled there for a Modal U.N. Security Council Conference. The R.M.C. delegation represented Canada, which was one of the fourteen countries represented. After the opening of the Conference on the previous evening, during the course of which the delegates were able to discuss informally various problems with the present public and diplomatic dignitaries, the meeting of the Co-uncil got under way at 0900 hrs on the 23rd. It lasted until 1600 hrs during which time strict U.N. rules of procedure and diplomatic protocol were observed. Under the eyes of a large public and represent- atives of the press and radio, the delegates presented their resolutions and made their speeches. Out of the five resolutions presented, only two passed, one of them unanimously and without amendments-the Canadian resolution on U.N.E.F. A large measure of the success of the resolution is due to the fact that the R.M.C. delegation realized from the beginning that diplomatic decisions and deals are reached behind the scenes in the course of social contacts. The presence of lady delegates especially facilitated that task for the cadets. The Conference was concluded by an official luncheon and a dance. The two days at Windsor presented a very profitable and enjoyable experience to the R.M.C. delegates. They not only gained an intimate insight into the working of inter- national affairs, so important to today's officer, but also made many profitable and enjoyable social contacts. No. 3849 S. C.

CEPUCH THE FIFTH ANNUAL CALEDON HILLS CONFERENCE The Fifth Annual Caledon Hills Conference was held towards the end of November in Toronto, under the direction of the United Nations Club of the University of Toronto. 58 R.M.C. Review Six universities. Carleton. McMaster, Queen's, Assumption, University of Toronto, and R.M.C. were represented at this Conference. During the two days the Conference ran, we held discussions on the problems of several U.N. organizations such as the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Refugees Fund and the United Nations Educational, Scientitic and Cultural Organization. Several films were shown on the problem of refugees in Europe, with special emphasis on the plight of large numbers in Austria. Our second day was taken up with a discussion of the Suez problem, following a talk given by Larry Henderson, C.B.C. news commentator, who had just returned from the Suez. The Conference closed with a small dance that evening with the necessary extra girls being kindly loaned to us by the University of Toronto. The Conference was rather limited in its scope. since only fourteen delegates were present and actual discussion was cut down by the amount of work we had to cover. No. 4154 J. A. ANNAND No. 4172 W. D. MITCHELL REPORT ON SCUSA VIII The Eighth Student Conference on United States Affairs was held this year at West Point from Dec. 5-8. The student participants met not with the idea of solving major problems of U.S. national security policy but to examine these problems and try and come to a better understanding of them. Student participants consisted of some 157 students from 68 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. There were also a number of senior participants from both the US and Canada who acted as chairmen speakers and observers during the conference. The actual conference was divided into plenary sessions and round table discussions. Each Round Table attempted to form a report of its discussion which was presented to the whole student body at the final plenary session. Forming this report was often a more diiiicult job than at first it would seem as sectional view points were often diametrically opposed on certain issues. I feel, however, that the Conference was a success as it did accomplish its aim and gave every participant a clearer picture of the problems and difficulties that the world today is faced with. It was of particular value to an RMC cadet as he was presented with the opportunity of viewing first-hand the routine and daily life of another military college and also given the opportunity of living with contemporary future oflicers in the US army. I sincerely hope that in the future the Royal Military College will be given the opportunity to send participants to such a conference again. I also hope that in the future a larger delegation of cadets from RMC will be sent. 3873 A. M.. J.

The 'dark blue' has been notable for its spirit and for the effort it has put into every endeavour. We may not have stood on the 'right of the line, yet this year but we've certainly had variety by skipping from 2nd place to 6th place and then to 7th place. Our rapid mathematical calculator, John Beare, has come up with the amazing statement that l Squadron's chances of moving up in the competition are about 6 to 2. It is Stu. O'Keefe's view that the wheel just hasn't spun around to us :yet but he has every confidence that it will before the year is out. Now, if those two could only get together with the drill staff for an hour or two--. In the sports field, l Squadron can claim a tie for first place in softball and undisputed first p'ace in badminton. We also managed to cop second place in a large number of events including basketball, volleyball, waterpolo. and swimming. We must not fail to compliment our first year who put up such a good effort in the recruit's obstacle race. Plaudits are in order for our out- standing athletes among whom Bill Broughton, Doug Brown, and Len Pitura rank high. What's this we hear about a hockey scholarship to the U. of T. next year, Pit? Just a rumour you say? We've been told unofficially that this year's Squadron Sports Ofiicer, Paul Lavallee, is taking over female athletics next year at McGill. We on this side of the square have always been known as a very sociable group and this past year we held two very successful squadron parties. Our thanks go out to Jim Torck and the others who did so much to make them a success. For those of us who are graduating it's as Dave Greenfield says: Things just aren't going to be the same next year. Of course, as Doug Hersey looks at it. the change for fourth year won't be too great anyway. One Squadron's single attempt at democracy ended in dismal failure from the point of view of fourth year when the other three years voted to retain the early breakfast. Pierre Richard threatened to transfer across the square but then decided the easiest course would be to boycott breakfast entirely. Glenn Doupe is the only fourth year cadet in the squadron who will have to worry about breakfast next year as he will have to get up and get Ann s ready. Ron Blakely, one of the last of the reserve cadets, says he wont be able to afford breakfast unless he can pawn his typewriter. For the success it has had this past year One Squadron owes much to two people. The first is Lt. Smyth, our Squadron Commander, who has performed a difficult job with patience and sincerity. If, as it is rumoured, he will be leaving this summer to take up a new appointment, we wish him and his lovely wife the very best and hope they always have fond memories of the Stone Frigate, and 1 Squadron in particular. The second is Bill Broughton, our Cadet Squadron Leader, who has done more than his share towards providing the unity and the smooth operation so necessary to a good squadron, -to One Squadfron! -3912 G. L. LoGAN 60 R.M.C. Review No. 2 CLASALLED SQUADRON The year 1956-57 began with the arrival of ten fresh faces from all across Canada. The seemingly grim task of giving these recruits the initial instruction and guidance fell mainly into the hands of C.S.L. Bill Campbell and C.F.L. Dave Springett. Within a short time, however, the enthusiasm and will to learn dis- played by the recruits made the first two weeks enjoyable and profitable for both first and fourth years, and after the remainder of the squadron arrived, everyone was eager to tackle the year's work. The most important asset of any unit is the people who compose it. In this respect, we were very fortunate in having with us again all the members of last year plus some new arrivals from C.M.R. and R.R. Faced with a new en- vironment and routine, the newcomers to third year quickly familiarized them- selves with R.M.C. and the traditions of No. 2 Squadron. It wasn't long before the third year stood together as a class and gave their unified support and co- operation in all squadron activities. , The success of No.2 Squadron in the first term were largely in the athletic department. Our football team, under the guidance of Naudie and Hutton, with Dickson as quarter and most of second year manning the line, was bound for the intersquadron championship unti an early snowfall forced a cancelation of the play-off game. It was second year again who paced the squadron to fifth place in the harriers with Moffatt, Weese, Larrigan and Dickson coming through in very good time. Brady and Jutras provided the spark which helped our soccer team to wind up in second place. In the swim meet, Morin, Dickson, McManus, Brough and Egener performed very well and helped No. 2 Squadron up to third place. Thus, at the end of the first term we found ourselves winners of the sports competition and had the great pleasure of lowering a certain hazy blue pennant and replacing it with our own bright red one. Unfortunately, we didfn't fare as well in the right of line competition. Starting the year at the right o-f the second line, we gradually worked down to a position where we would have been at the right, had the parades been formed up facing the football field. Our downfall was due mainly to a lack of good rifle and pistol shots and to the high value placed on shooting in the evaluation of the right of the line positions. In the second term, this injustice was rectified and even though our shooting remained unchanged, the excellent drill o-f third year helped draw us up to fourth place. In the field of less strenuous activity, a couple of squadron parties, expertly organized by our enterprising third year, provided a break in the otherwise tedious routine. The second term party, a real Western type square dance, was a resounding success. Other less formal gatherings were held throughout the year, and although these suffered from a lack of organization, the energy and exuberance of the participants more than assured everyone of a good time. In this respect, the efforts of Roy Naudie are worthy of particular mention. Under the capable guidance of Captain Collingwood, we have enjoyed a very rewarding year. The fourth year takes this opportunity to thank him for his help and to wish him and the squadron the best in the years to come. No. 3699 E. BIZON 1957 61 NO. 3 SQUADRGN Drive! Baby Blue, Drive! This was to be the rallying cry that carried No. 3 Squadron to high heights during 1956-57. To some, the first day in Hudson was to be but a return to the old familiar faces and friendships of other years, but to others the squadron was to present a totally new outlook on life. The recruits had just finished their initial indoctrination when they were joined by a group of Third Year cadets who knew less than they did. So this story, for better or for worse, is an edort to try to explain how, despite the conglomeration of human material, Hudson Squadron was welded into a tight, compact unit of high loyalties and strong friendships. In the beginning was made man, and after man came cadets. So the course of history goes. On September 6th, 1956, No. 3 Squadron recruits arrived at College. Loud shouts of double, double, double-where's your spiffy? re- sounded through the air as they fled to the gloom of the Stone Frigate. Here, within these musty confines, the man was to become the cadet. Mannish things such as radios Ceh, Barrett?J were a thing of the past. The high art of boot polishing was rapidly learned by all except Wright and Skaling who insisted that a brush did just as good a job. Burwood, not to be outdone, whisked his boots every morning. My, such keenness! And so the first week passed. The 13th found the remainder of No. 3 Squadron, once again cleaning their yellow cubicles. Door knobs gleamed, sinks sparkledf-- Don't brush there, I've just dustedf' Old acquaintances were renewed. Hi Neil foops 3 bars, always thought he was in the same year as mel f'Good day, Mr. Russell? Old memories vanished fforcefully, if no other wayj. I don't care if you did it that way at those other colleges, you're at R.M.C. now. Yes, Mr. Gaylord. The squadron worked. as one and won the track meet, and later, much wetter, the regatta. Bourassa, in canoe singles, Kearley in a whaler all spurred and splashed us to this victory. Then came the first squadron party. The guest entertainer was Elvis Yarymowich. This was but the forerunner of many more get-togethers. Lane and Co. were to produce 'fThe Flying Pillboxes Have Landed and Bob Stewart was to be the first to win the Order of the Stone Boot? The merry voice of the Master, Mr. Carter, was to provide us with ribticklers on every occasion. Big Bill Darling and Cohorts were to experience grave difficulties in navigating to the trash can for secret disposals on many a late night. Shh, Bill, you'll wake some- one upf, Gus Armstrong, stout felow, was to find a warm place in the heart of the squadron to be shared only with the reputable, the Peopleis Cespecially Third Yearj Friend, Kearley. But these were the pleasures, the brighter sides of life, agreed Mr. Seldom Seen Sam Perrin and Mr. Sleepy Coulter Cthanks, Copell. So let us leave this haven of women and deal with the stricter side of life. We did well in sports, and took the right of the line in the second term. The days passed quickly, so did the weeks, and then the months, and suddenly another year is gone. This subject has been purposefully treated in a light-hearted manner, for this is the only way to show how this squadron has become The Squadron . This sense of fun, of comradeship, of common cause, all these have gone to make the oneness, the team spirit that has carried No. 3 Squadron so successfully through the year. This is what has moulded us into the one feeling of loyalty, loyalty to R.M.C. Due to the restricted length of this article, it has been impossible to 62 R.M.C. Review mention all the members of the squadron in their own amusing aspects, but each has contributed his own part to the squadron and here we salute the remaining members of the staunch 49-McOuiggan, Chell, Meincke, Logie, Lemieux, For- rington, Franklin, Isbester, Preston, Kristjansen, de Chastelain, Cepuch, Sheldrick, Hendrickson, Hessin, Joyce, McKinnon, McCulloch, Walker, Bryga, Kelly and Tattersall. No. 4174, J. D. HESSIN NO. 4 BROCK SQUADRON Brock began the academic year 1956-57 under the leadership of a new Squadron Commander, Capt. 'fJoe', Crowe of the RCHA. Capt. Crowe, an ex- cadet and member of the New One Hundred , proved early in the year that he understood the system and routine of RMC and left the leadership of the squadron largely in the hands of the fourth year who were led by CSL Don l'Amour', Lamarre. . In the track meet number four placed a regrettable sixth but thanks are due particularly to Boyington and Karn who were outstanding performers. In the Regatta number four was again unfortunate and anyone who doubts this need only ask Vic Andrews why he jumped out of the whaler when it was winning. Four squadron came back into the athletic picture with the Swim Meet which they managed to win thanks to the efforts of the squadron as a whole and Gagnon, Badger, Andrews and Kemp in particular. The four squadron recruits although they came only second in the Obstacle Race put in a fine team effort and managed to have the three fastest single times in the wing. Congratulations to Gall, Marshall and Richardson. Ii the Inter-squadron tackle football competition the whole squadron owes a debt of thanks to Nick Romano for his star performance. Thanks to Nick the Green team put up a fine show even though they were unable to cop the championship. The second term was highlighted by the advent of the Four Squadron Mem- orial Trophy cr as it is better known the PPP . The unlucky winners to date have been Marshall, Hoffman, Harris-Lowe and Rose. Congratulations, you lucky people. Second only to the PPP in the second term was the CSC Tournament and the four squadron members of the CSC team are to be congratulated for their outstanding efforts. Four squadron was well represented on this team having Gall playing basketball, Karn and Vrana on the Volleyball team, Hyslop and Mocre shooting and Richardson swimming. Throughout the first as well as the second term a small group of the Green Wave proved to be consistent shots at the miniature range and this resulted in four squadron copping the high total for the year's rifle shooting. The Four squadron team was organized by London and the most valuable members proved to be Dead-eye', Don Lewis, Andrews, and McLeod. The high point of the year for the squadron was winning the right-of-the- line competition for the third term. This competition was decided on the basis of drill, room inspection UD, and shooting. Don Lamarre can be justly proud of the effort put forth by everyone. The whole squadron also owes a particular debt to Black Davef' Stothers who was largely responsible for organizing two extremely successful squadron parties. A Series of stags were also enjoyed by everyone. These were sponsored in turn by each of the four years. 1957 63 Fourth year takes this opportunity of wishing all the best to Brock in the coming year. This year has been fun for us and we hope, not too unpleasant for everyone else. Best of luck in the future and may the Green Wave never cease to roll. 3837 CFL A. M. J. HYATT N0. 5 CPONTIACJ SQUADRGN Luckily this winter hasn't been too cold, the wind hasn't blown too hard, and the cadets of the upper decks of the Stony Boat lasted through the winter without a single case of pnuemonia. Oh well, it's cold, but it's home. Pontiac, with Ron Muir as the CSL, has enjoyed a relatively successful year. The drill staff was good enough to overlook us for the first term and 'lo and behold, the Squadron ended up on the right-of-the-line. The law of averages land Sgt. Girden-you know the one with the stick and the squeeky voicel, however, caught up with us as we neared Christmas, and the No. 5 Sqn. call became fainter and fainter. Running in harmony with this, were the yells of 'Pugnacious Peter CKirkham, the CSTO, who sur- rendered to light duty before Christmas and whose yells also became fainter and fainter until he ended up with a stovepipe cast on his leg. An attempt to straighten it, I understandj Our recruit year this year has a variety of characters-there is if485S Babineau the one with the violin and the ready smile, Dasher Mackay whose address book seems to have no end of telephone numbers, and of course our fencer, Phil Jones, Cpronouncedf with a retired fVictorian' accent of coursej. Second year seemed to have the monopoly of the Kingston girls this year, CI understand that there are now three fourth year taking courses from themj, and it was rumoured that even Dino had a date for the last squadron party. Speaking of Sqn. parties, that brings us to third year who organized two fine efforts with 4Os', Mike, and Ernie at the lead. They say that Don Smithies owns one share in the Bell Telephone and, therefore, feels that he also owns one of the booths. That must be the answer. Third year also have parties every Saturday morning in 304, I don't know what they do there, but fBugs' seems to have all sorts of money these days. What about fourth year? Bill Armstrong was a welcome addition to Pontiac this year, especially on the floor hockey team, Willie Hughes stole his third bar in February Cperhaps he made it in the Chem Labl and 'Blackie' is still trying to retire from R.O.T.P. In sports this year Pontiac surprised everyone by two unusual achieve- mentsz- we were able to show some points at the end of the swim meet, and we won two-yes two! -waterpolo games. We understand that Lt. Smyth is returning to sea next year, we certainly trust that having to serve on an H.M.S. Establishment has done him no harm-we have certainly enjoyed the relationship, and wish him the best of luck for the future. It has been a good year and 115 has carried on the distinct Frigate feeling of friendship which we hope will continue even after the old 'Boat' falls apart. CN.B. Lt. Col. Perry: it has startedj No. 3935 E. W. H. TREMAINE 64 R.M.C. Review No. 6 CBRANTD SQUADRON In its second year of existence, Brant Squadron has confirmed the fact, already apparent last year, that it had been infused with most of the good blood of a parent with strong traditions-old No. 2 Squadron. The f'Golden Boys of No. 6 Cwith all due respect to the Staff Adjutantl have been establishing traditions of their own. In the sports department, Mike Valiquet and Frank Hlohovsky have made some headway in establishing the right kind of traditions. Although this success was not fully apparent in the fall term, we came within half a point of winning the combined sports for the winter term. Showing the effects of an all-out drive during Summer Training, we were slightly out of breath in the first phase of the sports competition. Consequently, our performance in the Regatta, the Track and Field Meet, and the Recruit's Obstacle Race should not be scrutinized too closely. However, the Harriers proved that Brant had it in terms of intestinal fortitude, for we placed second. In the Swim Meet, we owe Gerry Ross our thanks for saving us from a fate worse than death. Congratulations are also in order for Walsh, who won the Novice Heavyweight Boxing. Squadron spirit showed itself in our better performance in team sports, as opposed to individual competition, even though representative teams took no less than twenty-seven players from our ranks during the year. Moderate results were obtained in the fall term, Big Six shining only in football. The best game of inter-squadron tackle-football was again staged by 2 and 6 Squadrons. This year, Lady Luck was with No. 2 when they broke a scoreless tie by scoring 'in the last play of the game. After Christmas, however, the 6'Gold Machine picked up steam and rolled on to win the ice hockey and the floor hockey, and to take second place in basketball. We attained more modest results in volleyball and water-polo. Shortage of sharpshooters weakened BRANTIS performance in the right of the line competition. However, our drill has kept us at or near the right of the rear squadrons. In a lively week-to-week competition with the Orangeman of 2 Squadron, Terry Mahood has so far managed to keep us slightly abreast of the ffpeople downstairs? We have been, of course, past masters at the door- knob and gash-bucket business. As usual, No. 6 enjoyed the best squadron parties. Our Evening in Paris in November featured a recruit can-can which was spirited, if not shapely. Wine bottles Cempty, of coursel and candlelight provided the proper atmosphere. A barn dance in January proved to be the rip-roaringest party ever witnessed in the Old Gym, the music and calling being provided by an old-time western band. Kudos must go to Pete Fenton for the outstanding success of both these affairs. Fourth Year wish to take advantage of this opportunity to thank Captain Collingwood for the ffdoigte' with which he has ironed out difficulties and guided the activities of his Squadron, and the way he has always Ugone to bat for us. 3829 M. J. CoTE 1957 65 NO. 7 QWOLFEJ SQUADRON This, the second year of Wolfe's existence, can be termed nothing but highly successful. Under our one and only Jeep',, Seven has attained that balance of keenness and slackness which has promoted a real squadron spirit of co- operation, and has put us right up at the top with the best of them. After a bit of a slow start in the fall, it has been as much a surprise to 7 Squadron as to anyone else, how well we have done in sports. The champion- ship this year has been the result of a ulets get out and do our best attitude that cannot help but bring results. Our win in that trial by torture, the Harriers, led by Flo Rompre and Greg Amiro, started it all off. Then under the watchful eye of the Earl of Schaubel, spring saw the triumph of our squadron basketball, volleyball, tennis, and floor hockey teams. Managed by Geo Hutson, the rifle and pistol teams both finished second, a commendable bit of shooting. Any way you look at it, it boils down to a very good year of athletic endeavour. Socially, the highlight of the year was the winter term party. The skating was perfect, the food real hot, and the music well chosen. I think this particular get together will be long remembered as one of the best squadron parties at RMC. All the recruits who took part in the cake walk can be rightly proud of a good show. Stevenson's kilt with the Commandant's flag underneath was one of the best laughs of the evening. That makes up for the obstacle race in full measure, so all is forgiven first year. As the year progressed, more and more fourth year fell into the clutches of the feminine sex. All in all, five have taken the prematrimonial plunge. There is still a hard core of resistance in the squadron however, who claim they will never give in, for a little while anyway. All of us will remember the hours spent shooting the breeze over the squadron newspaper. Here is an admirable institution which should be continued, along with our other new institution this year, the squadron scrap book. It's been a good year, thanks to Jeep Fortier and the good spirit of everyone in Seven. May the 'fWolfe always howl the loudest of any. 3828 W. C. WOODBURY NO. 8 CMONTCALMJ SQUADRON This year we celcomed our new Squadron Commander, Capt C. J. Crowe, and under his guidance the year has proved a highly successful and enjoyable experience. This year the hierarchy of the Squadron was Jake Cadieux as CSL. Dean Wellsman as Zifc, Chief Mainer as CSA, Benito Moggridge as CSTO. Jim tWindyJ Howes as CSSO and Art Clare, Jerry Valihora and Hughie Silver as Flight Leaders, with Bob Froebel, Buns Cross and Andy Gagne as Flight Second-in-Command of X, Y and Z Flights respectively. Dick Grainger was Assistant Training Officer and somewhere along the line Tim Ryley was given three bars in a brevet appointment, so far he has served as Flight Leader uwithout portfolio . Soon after the start of the Fall Term No. 8 Squadron was swept up into the high pressure sports schedule. In touch and tackle football we did quite creditably, gaining first position in both as well as a first in soccer. These three 66 R.M.C. Review hrsts, as well as a second pl-ace in the college track meet, gave us the first position up to mid-October. But as the season progressed our position slipped gently down, varying between third and fourth for the two-period total. In Harriers and the Swim Meet the Squadron dropped considerably, getting only seventh place in each of these. Bob Froebel deserves much credit for finishing Within the first five Cadets in the Harriers. This year our position in the Right of the Line competition has not been so greatly outstanding. In the last part of the Fall Term we did manage, although not many know why, to tie for second place but this has been our only experience up in the front Squadrons so far. Our ability in drill is somewhat questionable at times Cwe are field troopsj and our representation in the Commandant's room inspection has caused considerable grief to various members of our fourth year periodically. Socially we have had two fine outings, a wiener roast and a skating party both followed by dancing in the Qld Gym. Both were well attended and all seemed highly enthusiastic towards second and third year who handled the necessary arranging. ' Generally one can say that the whole year has been a good one. We have never been known as an outstanding example of keeness but we have more than held our own throughout the College. The spirit and cooperation which have developed within the Squadron are a most rewarding tribute to the work of Capt. Crowe, and the members of the Squadron. By what indications we have seen this year, the future of No. 8 Squadron is indeed quite bright. SUMMER TRAINING f'-, MAKE?- was-H2 5 .4 E ix. I, I' .PYT 1 ' i - 's ,lfp,o I ' -v,. 1 1 X 'ig-V : ix' I , BILGES AND CROWSNEST-FIRST YEAR 1956 Toronto to Victoria by T.C.A. was the first leg of a summer journey which took the R.M.C. naval cadets to the U.S.A., Mexico, Panama and Ecuador. A strenuous course in basic navigation occupied the first three weeks at Royal Roads, while bridge was the tool of relaxation. Not to be outdone by the picturesque setting of the College, our home for the next two months-the training cruiser 'fOntario -had its own special qualities: grey paint, armour plate, decks and bilges-certainly grotesque if not picturesque. San Diego with its zoo and beaches was interesting as our first port, but many people preferred to spy the wilder animals in their natural habitat, south of the border, in Tijuana. Balboa and Panama of the Canal Zone followed a long voyage: from Magdalen Bay, Mexico, where seamanship and beach parties required our time. From East to West on the liner Reina de Pacifico , some sixty cadets journeyed through the Panama Canal, one of the most rewarding experiences we had. Salinas, Ecuador was the southernmost harbour we visited, although thirty- five cadets attended a reception given by the British Consul at Quito, the capital. Whether it was the altitude C about 10,000 feetl or the warm hospitality, nobody wants to say, but we found it quite hard to maintain our equilibrium at certain times. At sea once again, we sailed north to Balboa for a day, then on to Acapulco, where we saw Mexicans diving from great heights into small pools filled with the 68 R.M.C. Review surging tide and rocks for small amounts of money. Long Beach and Santa Barbara terminated our ports of call and once again, on August 10th, we entered Victoria harbour and the final examinations at Royal Roads. -No. 4441 J. W. Loom SECOND YEAR CADET NAVAL TRAINING The Naval cadets were told of plans for their summer training early last year and from that day forward anticipated a very successful and interesting summer. In this they were not disappointed. Accordingly, the Second Escort Squadron in company with H.M.C.S. Ontario left Esquimalt bound for San Diego. Cape Flattery, the scourge of all cadets fand officers too, 1 might addl was in its usual form and many of us fell victim to the only black mark of the voyage-sea sickness. Just beginning to gain our sealegs we sailed into San Diego Harbour. Besides enjoying the usual diversions of sailors ashore, we were given tours of various U.S. military bases and U.S.S. Kearsarge, one of the carriers based there. We sailed south to Magdalena Bay, Mexico, on the Lower California pen- insula. Magdalena Bay, to ex-penal colony for political exiles, is composed of a half dozen unpainted houses, badly in need of repair. However, the Bay itself is ideal for manoeuvering ships to anchorages and buoys, away from con- tinual swell of the Pacihc. Here the executive cadets sweated over the voice- pipes coming alongside buoys, etc. We parted company with H.M.C.S. Gntario and headed north to San Francisco, while she went south to Ecuador. The Second Escort Squadron tied up at Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay and we enjoyed the benefits of American hospitality in another large city before sailing once more for the open sea. Our cruise was certainly not a pleasure cruise, although ashore we enjoyed all the pleasures of a tourist. Training afloat was well planned to give a thorough 1957 69 understanding of the organization and operation of each cadet's branch as well as the Executive Branch. This summer was an experiment by the R.C.N to see if cadets could learn while at sea. The results of the summer could only point to the fact that the experiment was a resounding success. We sailed to Pearl Harbor where we saw the remains of U.S.S. Arizona, that grim reminder of December 7th, 1941. While at Pearl Harbor we worked with the U.S.N. in an antisubmarine role. Space does not allow a detailed account of Hawaii. Suffice to say that we will never forget Waikiki, and Honolulu. No. 4120 R. WHITEHEAD SUMMER TRAINING DOWN SOUTH Our Naval Engineering cadets are very fortunate in that, once they leave R.M.C. for their summer training, they are more or less going to spend their summer doing practical work which will supplement the theory they have learned during the winter. This last summer, 1956, we third year engineers were appointed to H.M.C.S. Ontario for the whole summer. After having studied reciprocating machinery for two summers previously, we would now tackle more complicated machinery, such as turbines. We were responsible for learning the function and operation of all auxiliary machinery, including diesel engines, generators, hydraulic systems, refrigeration equipment, etc., while on duty in the engine and boiler rooms. Moreover, we had to trace diagrams of all piping systems aboard the ship. A ship is like an enclosed city, certain pipes serve for protection against fire or flooding, others carry water for sanitary purposes, and so on. The main difference between a city and a ship, however, is that the ship is more compact, consequently, all those pipes intermingle and their diagrams become very complex and diiiicult to trace. Many of the pipes are situated in almost inaccessible places, especially in the engine room, where heat radiating from them also hampers your work. Cnce the diagrams had been laboriously completed. we were surprised to find that the Damage Control Section already possessed comprehensive diagrams which we could have borrowed. But we probably learned more by tracing the diagrams from the real thing. On the Ontario cruise we visited several ports in California, Mexico, Panama and Ecuador. A major point of the trip was the investigating of the so-called drumoursw about the reputations of such pfaces as Tijuana, Panama City and Acapulco. We were happy to conlirm the rumours as being completely true. For more information you could contact any one of the cadets who made the trip, but I suggest Don Coulter as an expert in the matter. Needless to say, lack of money, or rather, lack of Reserve cadets with possible loaning facilities for us highly mortgaged R.O.T.P. cadets was a great hindrance to our thorough investigation of stray rumours. In fact, we only had one Reserve cadet, Georges Desbarats, who fortunately did his best to keep us supplied with the Ugreen stuff? Life aboard ship was very interesting, as many activities were organized by the ship's company. We also arranged for our own recreation sometimes and the last night aboard ship may well be remembered: as the night Cadet Barrett lost his mattressw, as Thurber would put it. No. 3773 J. W. Y. LENIIEX ARMY SHILO - R.C.A. 17 May 56: It was like the annual family reunion, but without picnic basket or shady park. The place-Camp Shilo, Manitoba. For those from R.M.C. who had been together all year, there were plenty of old friends to see again. For those from Royal Roads who, by this time were graduates of that institution, there were even more hands to shake. Anyway, we were all back again for our second twelve-week visit at Shilo. Training got under way on 22 May 56 and what a mystery it was. Period after period of ballistics, director, gun drill and fire discipline. In a few days the novelty had worn off and we were ready to settle down and learn some gunnery. Our weapon was the beloved 25 pdr with all its parts and pieces. With this piece of equipment we were expected to hit something?! But little by little the fog cleared and first thing we knew it was our fourth week and we were off to Signals Battery to catch up on the latest information from that source. Then it was back to Gunnery Bty again. But things were different now. Somehow we had learned something about gun positions and how to use them, and we were starting to do dry deployments. They increased in diiiiculty and we soon became proficient enough to do a live shoot. These became more and more frequent and before we knew it the summer was almost over and it was time for the Arty. Scheme. After a laborious Saturday morning of drawing equipment and loading vehicles, we turned in knowing that this would be our last chance for a good sleep until the next weekend. On Sunday we left camp and started finding out how gunners really live. Everyone enjoyed himself very much and, except for the additional exercise of digging gun pits, it was a welcome change from the routine barracks life. The summer was a complete success and I am sure everyone in 2nd phase enjoyed it very much and will be anxiously awaiting word of their posting for 3rd practical phase training next summer. No. 4252 H. R. WHEATLEY 1957 71 ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS SUMMER TRAINING Each year, the cadets taking First and Second Phase training make the long trek to the R.C.S.M.E. at Camp Chilliwack in the beautiful lower Fraser Valley. In direct contrast with the previous summers, the last one was almost perfect as far as weather was concerned. The First Phase cadets, who lived in a tented camp by themselves, were subjected to the usual ten weeks' basic training course followed by two weeks of Corps training. The vigorous and intensive basic training covered such fields as first aid, map reading, communications, fieldcraft, section tactics and other elementary infantry courses. Weapons training on the rifie, Bren, Sten, Grenade and rocket launcher occupied an important part and, of course, many many long hours were spent on the parade square with Mr. Sininger and his staff. The final two weeks were spent fwithout P.T.J on Field Defences and: Mine Warfare, subjects of more concern to Sappers. First Phase at Chilliwack compares with any for a high standard of discipline and training, but in spite of this a good time was had by all . Escape was to be found in the mess and at the lake. Second Phase training is a great deal more interesting and practical for the Sappers than the First Phase. The courses covered were Mine Warfare, Water Supply, Roads and Airfields, Recce, Field Defences, Organization of Work, and the popular Demolitions course. The muscles as well as the brains were exercised during the courses relative to improvised and equipment bridging. Another interesting course was Rafting and Watermanship which involved a week at the lake under the watchful eye of Corporal Covey, S.B.O. Some time was spent on the square, but Second Phase was blessed with having no P.T. Examina-1 tions were held at the end of each course and a fairly high standard was demanded and met. Socially, the highlights of the summer were the Saturday night dances at the Mess, the ex-cadet cocktail party in Vancouver, the tea dfance, and, of course, the midsummer Ball after the March-off Parade. The social life was quite active with many cadets having interests in Chilliwack and at nearby Cultus Lake. For those whose interests lay along the lines of demolishing forty beers the mess dinners and troop parties were huge successes. Many Sappers say they do not want to return to Chilliwack, but most are not too unhappy to be posted back . . . f'Oh give me a tent with a ridgepole thatis bent And the sides are all tattered and torn . . . J' No. 4119 C. W. W. DARLING CAMP BORDEN - INFANTRY Last summer in retrospect reveals four important phases of training. These were military training fsuch as fieldcraft, range work and, of course, drillj sports, leave, and duties. The military aspect of the summer began with a pre-course introduction to familiarize us with the normal twelve-week course. Although viewed with some misapprehension, since it deprived us of one week's leave, it was condoned: as beneficial. Following this familiarization course, work became more serious. Range and fieldwork formed the counterpart of route marches. Tests, both written and 72 R.M.C. Review practical. indicated our progress. Towards the end of the course we had become fairly proficient in all phases of training, although Rompre was the only rifle marksman. Generally speaking, the military training was successfulg all in- fanteers obtaining HB grading. Athletics demanded nearly as much time as training and, in many cases, overrode it. The school's boxing, track and swim meets projected Preston. Rompre and Gagnon to represent the School at the Camp Borden meets in boxing. track and swimming meets, respectively. These sports interfered greatly with the military training which had to forego its claim on the participants to enable them to train for their sports. This exchange of time came willingly to the competitors but regretfully to the platoon commander. The duties assigned to us, were, if taken too seriously, farcical. They generally entailed little work and proved more or less sinecures without pay. However, they had to be done, and no trouble incurred. A. W. PRESTON GAGETOWN CoNCENTRAT1oN l956 During the summer of 1956 troops of the First Canadian Infantry Division concentrated at Camp Gagetown, NB. Third phase cadets of the Canadian Services Colleges could be found employed throughout the whole division. Here, through practica experience, they gained an insight into the tactical use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield. These lessons will prove invaluable and applicable to the cadets, no matter what corps or unit they will serve with on graduation. Camp Gagetown is a military camp which will undoubtedly become more famous in years to come, not just as a summer concentration area but as a permanent home for a great many of the field units of the Canadian Army. Today it is renowned throughout the whole army for being either a sea of mud or a proverbial dust bowl: it is impossible to compromise these two extremes. Often the only relief from wet feet and dust-clogged throats was to be found in steam- baths at the St. John Y.M.C.A. or in the area mess in Fredericton. Many incidents from the summer will always stand out in our memories: the Governor General reviewing the division at Blissvil'e airport in a thunder- storm: No. 3674 Lt. Len Creelman winning the forced march competition at the divisional sports meet, 2 R.C.Rfs para-drop on the position H.Q. 3 CDN Inf Bde had occupied the previous day, and C Cov l R.H.C. capturing a battery of horse artillery. There were even occasions when we were thankful for the air force and navy types who iiew close support missions. All the exercises were conducted with the enemy having air superiority and as a result we all have a better understanding of the role air power can play in any military operation. A summer in Gagetown is not recommended to anyone seeking a pleasant holiday on the east coast but it provides an invaluable picture of the army in the field to the cadets contemplating careers as professional soldiers. No. 3867 C. J. DEVANEY No. 3975 R. H. SMEDMOR GERMANY, 1956 In more settled times, the traditional climax to an education was the Grand Tour of Europe. The Canadian government in its wisdom has seen fit to reinstate this admirable practice. As a result of this policy, twenty Third Phase Army 1957 73 cadets from R.M.C. were posted for a three month period to the Second Canadian Infantry Brigade in Germany. The purpose of this attachment was to give cadets practical experience as junior officers in field units.. Despite what you might expect from the numerous war stories we tell, we did get much very' valuable military experience. We arrived in Germany during the Brigade Concentration at Sennelager. Shortly afterwards, all unit headquarters took part in Javelin IX, a British Corps com- mand exercise held in the Kassel area. Then followed in quick succession water- manship training on the Mohnsee, exercise Orient Express, firing practice for the R.C.D. at Hohne and for No. 4 R.C.H.A. at Munsterlager, bridging training for the R.C.E. at Hamlin, and battalion exercises for the infantry at Borkenberg. The climax of the summer training programme was a two week Brigade Con- centration at Soltau. Since this was our first experience in co-operation with the other arms and services, the value we received was immense. The brigadels training exercises, conducted on some of the finest training areas in the world. could not have been more comprehensive. It was fortunate for us that there are a large number of ex-cadets serving with the brigade especially from the New One Hundred and the class of 1955. There were twenty ex-cadets or serving cadets with No. 4 R.C.H.A. alone, almost like an Ex-Cadet Weekend all summer. The social aspects of our training were not neglected either. The Gunners celebrated the Artillery Birthday at the Regimental Ball at Tserlohn and many officer cadets attended the Confederation Ball at Brigade Headquarters. The Brigade's Dominion Day Sports Meet and Military Tattoo at Dortmund were excellent and very inspiring. The Gunners also participated in the Ball Button Day Sports Meet at Hohne with four R.H.A. regiments from the British Army on the Rhine. No. 3921 R. W. STRICKLAND A fm. .w. . .,.f ff- ' 6. . gg.. .

Most of us thought we had finished schoolwork when we left R.M.C. and now we could settle down to the serious job of flying. We were sadly disillusioned, how- ever-the first few weeks were spent in ground school. Soon, though, we were dividing our days into half flying and half ground school, which was slightly more to our taste. After our short course in navigation, John Fryer wanted no part of it, even if aircrew do get extra flying pay. The West suited us all fine, but Dick Hutton liked it especially. It is said that Dick liked his instructor because they had two things in common-flying and frequent trips to Red Deer on the same mission. Roy Frayne likes to fly, but says, 'These darn 'Hazards' just won't go were I want 'em to! The 'fboys from Claresholm say that Bob Walker owes a mess bill amount- ing to some 54.00 at R.C.A.F. Station Claresholm-it should be up to forty by next summer. All in all, we had a wonderful time in Penhold and can hardly wait to continue our training next summer. No. 4520 R. C. WALKER SECOND PHASE PILOTS May 22nd, 1956 C just one week and two thousand miles from the final parade at R.M.C.J found 27 C.S.C. boys back for a second summer of pilot training at the best in the West , Penhold, Alberta. After putting in two solid weeks of Ground School in order to re-absorb the fundamentals we had forgotten, we finally started alternating half days of flying with our studies. It was soon apparent that it was not only theory that we had forgotten in the winter layoff, as we all took four or five hours before we went solo again, and started practicing for the summer's first big hurdle, the intermediate Harvard test. 1957 75 After this was met and mastered, we were faced with Ground School exams, where we finally squelched the cries of lazy and f'slack coming from our instructors by getting an overall class average of SOW. As the summer progressed we moved on to navigation trips fwhere am l?J and instrument flying fwhat's going on out there'?J. Dave Cummings, on his flnal navigation trip, managed to fly ofl the map, then wondered why he couldn't identify any land marks. This was almost as bad as Ron McQuiggan landing in the grass on his I.H.T. and still managing to pass, or George Hosang on his basic instrument test going from a stall into a spin, converting it into a spiral dive and still managing to recover, much to his instructor's amazement. Sympathetic mention must also be made of the seven, who, for one reason or another, felt the C.T. axe fall, and had to leave us. The summer passed rapidly and was brought to a happy close as all those rumors proved true and flying pay was substantially increased. This extra cash, plus the fact that it will be our last on Harvards, makes us look forward to next summer's training with the hope that it will be as successful as that of 1956. No. 4110 T. K. MoRToN THIRD PHASE PILOT TRAINING Before blasting off on the glories of C.S.C. pilot training, it might be wise to just list the 17 proud conquerors of the 'fYellow Beast that we are talking about. VOICI, complete with nicknames: Bill Al Albrecht, Angus '6Gus Arm- strong, Jack Cadieux, Ervin uBuns Cross, Eddy Gagoz, Bob Huot fa mixed-up character from C.M. R.J, Bob Hallworth, Bill f'Fifl', Hughes, Charles Ed,' Lothian, Bill Lynn, Keith Mac McKinnon, Serge 'f-- Morin, Bill f'Pete Petersen, Neil Rusty Russell, Keith Stew Steuart, Morley HStud Taylor, Jerry Valihora. We set no flying records durings the summer, but we did manage to get through without casualties. Our half days on the flight line were spent on aero- batics and general work in preparation for the final handling test and then forma- tion flying, radio range, and night flying. The night and formation work, although tiring, was very satisfying and gradually made us feel like Harvard 'fRockets . In ground school we started out badly. The instructors rapped us for being disinterested, our ex-cadet course director, F70 Ian Sherlock, felt we were doomed, but came the final exams, we pulled up the old socks and fooled everyone when we set an all-time high course average. After all, we had taken a lot of the work 3 times. Finally, graduation day arrived: and before the assembled station marched the proud 17. Each in turn went forward to receive his scroll in recognition of having beaten the Yellow Beast . Bill Lynn and Buns Cross went forward to receive their individual honours, the Scroll of Honour for high aggregate marks to Bill and the Penhold Flying Trophy to Buns. Yes, the sumer was the best we had ever spent or probably ever will. We were all really sorry to say goodbye to R.C.A.F. Station Penhold, the place that had been our summer home for 3 years. -No. 3853 W. N. RUSSELL FIRST PHASE NAVIGATION First phase navigating in Winnipeg this summer left many memories, happy and otherwise, with C.S.C. 56-a class drawn from R.M.C., Royal Roads and 76 R.M.C. Review C.M.R.. with the odd university student scattered here and there to fill out our ranks. We'll always remember that wonderful first morning-rising at 0735, eating breakfast at a civilized rate, then toddling off to classes to learn how to fence with. straight edges and to explore the possibilities of sleeping with both eyes wide open-the only way to pit in F,fL Lumley's electronics classes. Time passed, and we waded through a mire of Astro Tables and Precis, emerging with some knowledge sticking to us-mostly that AP 3270 was a series of huge books with pretty, differently coloured strips on the covers. Filled with youthful enthusiasm, we did not quite grasp the full significance of plotting such points as MPP CMost Probable Positionj, and the navigator's standby-MIH tMaybe I'm Herel. Soon, however, we had enough experience to coin our own abbreviation-TIWWTWKTWTWA. This was an abbreviation? Anyway, it was somewhat shorter than ffThis Is Where We Think We Know That We Think We Are . Or something. Life wasn't too easy, though. Such dread tortures as control plots, which simulated, in the classroom, actual flights, sobered us swiftly, and we settled down to the undeniably rugged task of learning how to determine, at any time in the air, just where in tarnation we were. Despite our initial misgivings at missing a summerls holiday, I feel I speak for the whole of C.S.C. 56 when I say, Thish Navergatin' bishnish ish really great fun-uh-pash another bottle of Benedictine, willya, Bartender, huh ,.., Pleeeeeeze'? -No. 4461, A. E. LANE THIRD PHASE NAVIGATION Some time back around the end of May, the remnants of C.S.C. 54 CLRD began to trickle back to Stevenson Field, Winnipeg, for our third, and what turned out to be our best summer at that august institution. We were soon informed that we would be privileged to become Observers CAD and, by virtue of one of the youngest and most distinguished of this country's professions, 'fTigers . Those among us not fortunate enough to be members of the R.O.T.P. plan had to repeat most of the previous two years' work and become Long Range Navigators, a profession which is referred to by all good Tigers as 'fThe Lows and Slowsw. Since the AI School could only handle some twenty-one bodies at any one time, our course consisted of just that number, fourteen C.S.C. types and the remainder University R.O.T.P. chaps. By the time Wings Parade rolled around we were down to seventeen, but happily the 'fOld Fourteen was still intact. When the first six weeks of ground school had been gotten out of the way, the remaining seven settled down to an unhurried routine of morning Hying and afternoon synthetics. Such being the case, we found the AI course a pleasant change from the work of the previous two years. Actually, the only frantic part of the day was trying to get the boys out of the pit in time for the 0630 briefing. As a result of our first flight we gained the reputation of The Honkingest Course in Training Command , but the boys and the aircraft soon settled down, and we were eventually demoted to f'average . Towards the end of July we took a three-day trip up to the All Weather Operational Training Unit at Cold Lake, Alberta. This proved to be a most interesting weekend as we all got into the air through the kind cooperation of 1957 77 the Instrument and Conversion Flight. As part of our conversion to the f'A.W.F. Team , the trip went a long way towards giving us the Tiger Outlook. In the afternoon, the time between sessions on the Tl CAD synthetic trainer became known as psycho development periods, as it was here that the true character of everyone began ta show through. Our homebodies, Max Freeman. Dick Harding and Murray Copeland were forever coming andfor going. Nick Romano spent his time tinkering with the dual carbs on his Nikkimobile. Bryan Smallman-Tew spent his time studying for a supp. While Jack Hicks hefted his six pound sledge and Bob Froebel perused his Saturday Evening Post, the rest of us, Bob Burnie, Doug Tufts, Ray Jefferies, Glenn Giddings, Ken Gallinger, Earl Law and Gord Gooderham tried to figure the odds on making twenty-one. Since we lived: and worked on the wrong side of the field, we were too far away from the mess fo-r the usual swapping of war stories. However, we did have a year-end stag, which was well attended by all and sundry. August 24, 1956 finally rolled around-a red letter day on at least fourteen calendars. Air Vice Marshal Kerr presented us with our wings. Even though they may be only a little piece of felt they mean a lot to us, for we worked hard for them. Next year most of us will be going to Cold Lake for thirteen weeks' operational training on the CF-100. We are all looking forward to summer. 1957. No. 3861 CADET G. W. GOODERHAM TECHNICAL TRAINING It is well known among friends of the Aylmer Flight Cadets that the course at Aylmer is the most interesting and enjoyable of all courses in all services. But enough of this toasting, herein lies proof of no idle boasting. Interest is maintained by the practical nature of this Aeronautical Engineer- ing course. Experience is gained in the repair and maintenance of all components necessary to keep our aircraft in the air. Greasy hands are a common sight as these operational flight cadets work with Harvards, Expeditors, Sabres and Canucks. In addition to the practical phase, lectures are given in aerodynamics. propulsion, instruments, electricity, general administration and management. The second year cadets had themselves well established by the time the first year arrived. Those C.S.C. cadets making up the second year term were Spence Volk, Rolli Jutras, Dan Davis, Gord Whatman and Lyle Brown. Late in June, after a well-earned holiday, the first year Tech AXE cadets made their first impressions on Aylmer. A week later the number of C.S.C. cadets was bolstered by the arrival of Gord Forrington who had given up flying in favour of a career. Dave Wright managed to complete the year at the head of the class in spite of confiicting interests in Waterford, while Ray Mongeau could usually be seen in the mess trying to sell ucinqw aces in liars dice. Aylmer's location lends much to the a.ctivities. Many sunny hours are spent on the sandy shores of Lake Erie. The proximity of London, Detroit. Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Toronto and Stratford make weekend trips one of the main interests. Those slated for Aylmer this summer are certainly in for a good summer to which they can well look forward. The story at Clinton, Ontario, seems to be quite different from that of Aylmer. Here is what a second year cadet at Clinton has to say. G.

R.M.C. is starting the long climb back to the highly respected place it held in athletics in Eastern Canada before the Second World War. Athletics is perhaps the field in which the Royal Military College can have its effect felt by the general public in the most tangible way. Such events as the recent Guard of Honour for the Governor-General in Toronto do a great deal to boost the prestige of the College, but such events are rather isolated. However, almost every weekend of the year, at least one of R.M.C.'s representative teams are doing battle for the College in one of Eastern Canada's major cities. Everything connected with R.M.C. is a source of great pride to the many ex-cadets and friends of the College who seem to be present every- where, and by far the greatest contact the cadets have with the public is on the sports field. Thus, it is most important that R.M.C. should be represented by the best possible teams at all times-not only the most proficient in playing skill, but also the most sportsmanlike in conduct. Although its enrolment is smaller than that of most colleges, R.M.C. should be able to produce teams to compete on equal footing with all but the major powers on the sports field. It is obvious that the practices of active athletic recruiting and the offering of athletic scholarships cannot be carried out here, but there is still no reason why R.M.C.'s representative teams should not be of the highest calibre. Few institutions of higher learning require their entrants to be of a certain physical standard, and none have the rigorous control over every phase of a studentfs life that R.M.C. has. Here the entire Cadet Wing lives together in close proximity to facilities which, although incomplete in some ways, are excellent. These factors should lead to first-rate teams in all sports, however unfortunately some teams fall short in some fields. This condition is partly due perhaps to factors inherent in the system itself, however, the major fault lies with the people connected directly and indirectly with these teams. There must be more active participation by athletes within the Cadet Wing, more diligence and hard work from the team members and coaches and more enthusiastic support-both material and spiritual-from the College as a whole. To have a team representing R.M.C. in an intercollegiate sports event that is not well conditioned and coached and is not a match for its opposition because of this is highly undesirable. However, it must be admitted that such a team is better than none at all. Some of the Collegeis teams exhibit the attributes expected of a fine team but others, because of many and varied reasons, fall somewhat short of the ideal. In the coming year, let us endeavour to maintain the standard set by the best teams and to bring all other athletic activities up to this standard until we have a well-rounded program with teams of championship calibre in all sports. Everyone agrees that athletics are a necessary part of the development of a young man, and if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. SPORTS EDITOR 80 R.M.C. Review FOOTBALL l With a I2-3 win over Ottawa University on Saturday, November 3rd, the R.M.C. Redmen finished their most successful season in recent years. Not only did the team win the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference for the second year in a row but they also presented their coach, SXL Golab, with an undefeated season. The championship was won with four straight victories and the only blot on the team's record came with a tie in one of their two exhibition games. Loyola dropped out of league play at the end of the 1955 season, leaving only three teams to do battle for the Coronation Cup. For a team that lost twelve regular players from the previous season, the Redmen did amazingly well in the 1956 season. After a very short period of full practices, the season opened with an exhibi- tion game against the Queen's Comets on Friday, September 21st. R.M.C. started the season off on the right foot with a single point on the opening kickoff. The cadets held the advantage throughout the game and scored four unconverted touchdowns-two by Earl Law, one each by Pete Joyce and Pete Campbell. Although the Queen's team was not up to full player strength, this convincing win did: indicate the type of play to be expected from the Redmen. The first league game was played at home against Carleton College on the Ex-Cadet Weekend. R.M.C. had the advantage in play throughout the first half by leading 13-6 at the half and then exploded in the second half for four touch- downs-one by Bill Badger and three for Jake Cadieux to end up winning 38-6. The two fullbacks. Joyce and Badger found many holes in the Carleton line while quarterback Law was able to shake Campbell and Cadieux loose for long gains. This game was indeed a treat for the Ex-Cadets. After a week's rest, the team journeyed to Ottawa and defeated: Ottawa U by a score of 21-7. Pete Campbell ran 62 yards on a line plunge for the first major and the first half, which was marked by ragged play and fumbles, ended 7-O for R.M.C. Pete Joyce scored two touchdowns, one a 69-yard gallop after catching a screen pass, in the second half. For the first time in the season, all touchdowns were converted. The defensive team led by Bill Armstrong and Bongo Johnson blocked a kick and successfully defended against Ottawa's passing attack to turn in a fine game. The next Saturday, October 20th, the Redmen journeyed to Hamilton to take on a team which had: played some Senior Intercollegiate teams, the powerful McMaster Marauders. The team showed that they can hold their own in higher competition than the Ottawa-St. Lawrence League by earning an 8-8 tie. Pete Campbell's converted touchdown put R.M.C. ahead early in the game and then both teams traded the advantage with neither getting a break until Mac recovered a blocked R.M.C. punt on the R.M.C. one-yard line. The score was tied: on the next play. The last quarter was a very exciting one with the teams trading single points. Macls last drive was stopped by a fine interception by Bongo Johnson and the game ended in a tie. The team was ably supported by the frightful din of the Pipe Band who put on a Hne show. An excellent cocktail party was thrown by the Ex-cadets after the game to round out a go-od weekend. The championship was assured with a 26-6 win over Carleton in Ottawa on October 27th. R.M.C. finished off three long drives with touchdowns by Bill Broughton, Earl Law and Dick Patterson.

Review potent in this half, with Law hitting Broughton and Patterson for T.D.'s, and Pete Harrison and Patterson for 57 and 63 yard plays. Jake Cadieux scored after an interception by Doug Brown to end R.M.C.'s scoring as the team began to falter on offense and defense in the second half. Poulin of Carleton capped off a long drive with the Ravens' only touchdown. The Band was supported by many cadets at this game because of the long weekend at the College. Another cocktail party was enjoyed by all cadets after the game at the Gloucester Street Mess. The final game against Ottawa U started out badly as the cadets, feeling the effects of the mid-term formal of the previous evening, were completely bottled up throughout the first half. They went to the dressing room behind for the first time in the season at the half. The team was fired up by the coach and came back to wipe out the 3-O deficit with two touchdowns by Bill Broughton. The first half of this game was perhaps the lowest point in the season but the team came fighting back to finish off the season undefeated. Much credit must go to the hard-working linemen who made the headlines possible for the backfielders this season-Bongo Johnson, Roy Naudie, Dave Springett, Mike Valiquet, Dick Patterson and all the rest, as well as linebackers Pete Joyce and Bill Armstrong who played strong games all season. The Red- men were also deeper in fine reserve strength than they have been for several years. Of course, the team would not have won any games without their fighting coach, Tony Golab, and his two assistants, SfSgt. Griesbach and Sgt. Stevenson who whipped the team into shape. The team would also like to thank its Staff Chairman, LCDR Cocks and the managers, Glen Giddings and Fred Johannes for fine handling of administrative details. Sgt. Whipple did a good job of taping the players back together throughout the season, and Shelby Golab kept the spirit up as mascot and water boy. Although the team is losing twelve players through graduation, as well as the coach, SXL Golab, everyone is confident that the fine winning tradition started by Tony Golab during the last three years will be continued at R.M.C. for a long time to come. No. 4119 C. W. W. DARLING TENNIS AT R.M.C. Although tennis is not one of the most popular sports at R.M.C., quite a few highly-spirited games were played on the college courts this year. The College championship tournament was organised with a hope that this year's final would take place without snowshoes. The final game took place in November with Cadet Wood of No. 4 Squadron coming up with a victory over C.F.L. J. A. Fox .of No. 7 Squadron. The other two semi-finalists had been C.S.L. Volk, eliminated by Cadet Wood, and Cadet Lemieux of No. 3 Squadron beaten by C.F.L. Fox. Twenty-two cadets took part in the tournament which this year again fell behind schedule due to the weather, long weekend leave, representative sports, and so on. This year the R.M.C. team again took part in the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference tennis meet which was held in Montreal by Sir George Williams College on October 12th and 13th. The colleges competing were the University of Montreal, the University of Ottawa, Carleton College, Sir George Williams College, C.M.R. and R.M.C., A ..,1.

Scottj to stand last. The other members of the team were C.F.L. Desbarats, C.F.L. Lavalee, Cadet Bedard, and Cadet Dube. The main fault among the cadets seemed to be the lack of consistency, which undoubtedly came from lack of practice and training. However, with very little chance, everyone played with enthusiasm and displayed the sportsmanship expected from cadets. Best wishes for greater achievement go to the 1957 team, although it looks as if the tennis courts at the College are likely to be replaced completely by a new library. No. 3746 P. R. LAVALEE FOOTBALL II The Football II's opened the 1956 season on the wrong foot, and never seemed to recover completely. The above-mentioned wrong foot was put down on Ottawa St. Pat's home Held. When the dust had cleared, the home team was on the long end of a 37-9 score. This was a discouraging start to say the least, as the R.M.C. team lacked not the player material but the organization on the field. Hutton and Zagrodney were standouts for the losing cause in this game. The following weekend the team journeyed to St-Jean to try their luck against C.M.R. Again it seemed to be the same story-too many players had played their best during the previous week's practice. C.M.R. scored on a re- covered R.M.C. fumble and on a pass that should not have been completed. if the R.M.C. defense had been on their toes. A hard tackle by Zagrodney caused the C.M.R. quarterback to fumble and Salmon recovered the loose ball for R.M.C.'s touchdown. R. M. C.'s timing on offense was off and this proved to be the major cause of their loss. It was in this game that Zeke Zagrodney suffered a serious head injury and was lost to the team for the season and to the College for a year. Due to an injury to Hutton, Matheson filled in at quarterback, doing a great job, aided by some good running by the fullback, Morrison. The third game, the only one at R.M.C., was much the same as the first two. The opponent was MacDonald College and the score was 12-O in favour of the visitors. The His still lacked that undefinable something which moulds 12 players into a team. S'oppy play on both offense and defense supplied Mac with all the breaks they needed. By the time the game against Bishop's arrived, the team's self-confidence was low, but the players were still working hard at practises. Their continued effort was justified in this close hard-fought game. It wasn't until the closing minutes that the Gaiters managed to push over the winning touchdown to make the score l6-13. This game was a fine team effort with everyone putting forth a maximum. After the excellent showing against Bishop's, the team was waiting ex- pectantly for their return match against C.M.R. Due to academic reasons. C.M.R. was forced to default the game, much to everyone's disappointment. This brought to an end a season that was both disappointing and rewarding. The disappointments were obvious and the rewards were the experience gained by the players, not to mention the enjoyment earned in just playing the games. The team wishes to express their appreciation to Strickland for his swell job as manager and to their never-say-dief' coaches, Sgt. Stevenson and Staff Griesbach. No. 4005 R. B.

Review SOCCERI lt hardly seems possible that another soccer season has gone by. The trouble with the soccer season is that it takes far too long to get started, and once started, it is over all too quickly. The initial turnout for soccer this year consisted of over forty cadets, but these were later reduced to about twenty- seven, enough to form two teams with sufficient reserves. Sergeant Mason, a new P.T.I. this year, soon had the players all whipped into shape, or some semblance thereof, and he had the team hard at work practising skills such as trapping, heading, etc., when it was not doubling around the pitch. Before the first game, Phil Smith was elected captain and Terry Mahood vice-captain. Phil Smith and Ade Preston, two of the three remaining first team members from last season, were bo-th subject to serious injuries early in training, and were unable to play for the team for a good part of the season. The results of the games were not as encouraging as had been hoped for and the season ended with a record of one victory and four losses. R.M.C. won its only game against MacDonald College, and finished 2-1' up at the final whistle. Jim Fox must receive a lot of praise for his excellent goalkeeping, both in this game and in the other games, and though some of the defeats may seem heavy, they would have been a lot heavier without good goalkeeping on Jim's part. Though the whole team played hard throughout the season, mention must be made of Terry Mahood, the acting captain, whose personal skills and control of the team kept it playing as a team even during the grimmest battles. During the season, each of the players had his peak performance, and all played ex- ceptional soccer at times, but, unfortunately, good soccer was not played con- sistently. The players would like to thank the manager, John Mullarkey, and the coaches, Sgt. Mason and P.O. Rheubottom for all the time and help they have so willingly given the team this season. Thank you very much. As a passing note, none of the team will forget E. J. Kearley's famous black book, which appeared every time R.M.C. went to Montreal-it certainly helped out, E. J. No. 4449 J. C. SLADE SOCCERII 1956 was a very enjoyable year for the members of the Soccer II's. By the end of the season Sgt. Mason and P. O. Rheubottom had shaped the players into a spirited team. What the team lacked in finesse, they made up in determination, and although the Soccer II's were in no organized league, they did get in a few good games. The first game was played at R.M.C. on October 17th against Ashbury College and resulted in a 7-0 victory for R.M.C. Lemieux and Hallworth were the big guns for R.M.C., scoring four and three respectively. Cooke, in the R.M.C. goal had no shots in the first half and easily stopped Ashbury's few scoring attempts in the second half. After the game, both teams were served tea and toast in the Mess. The following weekend the Soccer II's played one of their best games with Ashbury College, in Ottawa, as the two teams battled to a 1-1 tie. During the game the cadets showed their usual high standard of skill and sportsmanship, but they were denied a win as the determined Ashbury players, headed by Coach Anderson playing centre-half, turned back the cadets time after time. R. M.C.'s 1957 87 only goal was scored by Lemieux midway in the first half. Ashbury retaliated in the second half when Arnold scored on a breakaway shot. The third game of the season was played at the St-Jean Air Force Base against C.M.R. on November lOth. With the wind in their favour, C.M.R. controlled the play in the first half and easily scored two goals. Davis scored R.M.C.'s lone marker on a long shot midway in the second half and although R.M.C. pressed hard until the end of the game, they were unable to make up the deficit. Although defeated, the team managed to console themselves that evening in Montreal. Sgt. Mason and P. O. Rheubottom deserve a great deal of credit for all the time and effort they spent organizing and coaching the soccer teams this year. Although the soccer teams had little or no support from the rest of the College, we feel that the one or two spectators who did turn out to watch the games enjoyed them. No. 4186 R. K. HENDRICKSON No. 4222 E. M. BELov1cH BASKETBALL TEAM At Christmas break, with the Georgian Trophy already in our hands from last yearis efforts and a rather easy win in the only pre-Christmas game, it seemed a fair and just prophecy that R.M.C. might win the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference basketball championship. In the first two games after Christmas, the R.M.C. team soon learned that such a prophecy would be slightly premature. From that moment on, the story of the team's exploits could be summed quite neatly in two words-hard luck. For hard luck it was, most of the games were lost either in overtime or by a margin of a few points. But how for by how muchj the team lost didn't change the wins versus losses column, which was 6 for and 8 against the R.M.C. team. This was not suflicient to allow them any of the four play-off positions which were handily filled by Carleton College, Ottawa University, Sir George Williams College and Loyola College, with Carleton College the ultimate winner. The first game of the season, against Macdonald, a reputed second class team in the league, was won by the score 69-56. The next four games gave a hard jolt to any anticipations that the remainder of the season would be as easy as the start. These games were C.M.R.-68-70, Sir George Williams-41-55, Carleton-67-76, and Ottawa U.-65-71, all losses. Following these four were two wins against St. Pat's--82-44 and Loyola -54-51, a necessary injection for the team to start the second round of games. Before continuing with the last portion of the schedule, an exhibition game was organized between the cadets and any Ex-Cadets who still remained in the Kingston area. This game, besides providing many humorous incidents which were thoroughly enjoyed by the mixed audience, also proved to be a thriller. The game ended in a spectacular finish, for the cadets overcame a twenty-point deficiency in the last five minutes to tie the game. An overtime five-minute period was then played, again ending in a tie, but this time, the Ex-Cadets had to come from behind to tie it up. The game ended in a sudden death period, with Darling calmly swishing the necessary two points. Following the game, a dance was held which was enjoyed by all except a few Ex-Cadets who were too exhausted and sore to enjoy the diversion. 88 R.M.C. Review On the following weekend, the R.M.C. team was again back into the regular schedule of games. The second half of the schedule included the following games: St. Pat's-57-55, Ottawa U.--60-63, Carleton-43-65 and Laval- lOl-9l. the last being an overtime win after a last minute surge to tie the game. With the exception of three players, this year's team was entirely new, including the coaching staff. The vacancies left by last year's graduating class were covered by able replacements from this year's recruit class and graduates from the other two Services Colleges. Prominent players in this category that will be recalled should include such names as Gall, Brown and Aichinger. Also to be remembered are George Mainer, the head manager, and his two assistants, Slim Simpson and SkipM Sears. Finally, the gratitude of the players, managers and coaches is extended to Dr. Hogg, the team's staff representative who main- tained the administrative details for the team.

A potential threat both ways, he was always picked out for attention by the opposing team. Norm Simpson-Forward, Co-Captain. Norm, although not always gaining top honours in the scoring department, was the man behind the scenes. He set up many a fine play with a strategic screen or pass. Jim De Vaney--Guard. Jim was one of our defensive powers under the basket. Jimis deceptively long arms always fooled his opponent whether in the process of taking a rebound or by simply knocking the ball out of reach before it even hit the backboard.

Pete is of a size that he merely need hold the ball over his head and it is out of reach of anyone else on the floor. Although always a scoring threat, Pete usually was most useful as a rebound man. He had his biggest night against Laval when he hooped 35 points, team high for the season. Bill Darling-Guard. Given the ball within long shot range of his opponent's basket, Bill could usually score, always to the consternation of his opponents and the delight of the audience, by merely raising his heels and flicking his wrists. Howard Wheatley-Guard. Wheat',, a possessor of large hands and sticky fingers, could be counted upon to gain possession of the ball once it was within his range. Being naturally a slow and deliberate player he was a good steadying influence. Rudy Gall-Forward. Dutch started the season as a guard but met with failure because of his size. He then changed to forward and in his first game in this position he proved his value by scoring 26 po-ints employing a tricky jump shot. Pete Bedard-Forward. Because of his size, Pete could usually foil his check by scooting under any defensive measures put before him. After thus gaining release from his check, Pete preferred to pass the ball to his longer name- sake. Bruce Morris-Centre. Bruce, a relative new-comer to the sport, cone tinually amazed everyone with his improvement. Possessed with a calm set of nerves under any situation, he should turn into an excellent player. Colvin Barrigar-Forward. Burgie plagued with a knee injury was con- siderably hampered in his playing. However, this in no way stopped his career, for he soon developed a long shot which made up for his injury. Steve Stankus-Forward. Steve,s trademark was a long one-handed shot which commenced with a high arc and finished with a sharp snap, as his shots were nearly always clean and only touching the nets out of necessity. PXO P.

MURRAY fCOACHESl The team and the entire College wish to thank the two coaches, Bob Murray and Paul Manson, for giving so freely of their time, energy and talent throughout the past season. SPoRTs ED. SENIOR HOC KEY 195 6-5 7 This year saw Senior Hockey come of agen as it were, at RMC for the first time since the war. Under the leadership of Major P. V. Carr-Harris, him- self an RMC hockeyite of former years, the team saw the culmination of last year's efforts to establish a new style of play. The practice of 'fdumpingi' the puck into the attacking zone when things did not look too promising and of back-checking from the red line paid off right from the start of the season's activities, and the team wound up in a tie for the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference championship with Loyola College of Montreal. League play began on December first at the .lock Harty Arena when the Cadets tangled with Sir George Williams College of Montreal and overwhelmed the opposition by a score of 8-O. Christmas exams halted activities until the New Year when the team journeyed to Saint Jean to do battle with CMR on 1957 91 January 19th. This game turned out to be the traditional penalty-marred contest expected of the two teams as several CMR graduates on the RMC team were meeting their former team-mates for the first time as members of the opposition. RMC led all the way and emerged on the longer end of a 4-2 score. The following week-end saw the team ready for what was expected to be the first of the two most important games of the season. Loyola arrived in Kingston fresh from the previous night's game in Sherbrooke. The game proved to be an exciting one with each period ending in a tied score. Neverthe- less the third period told the tale when Alternate Captain Earl Law banged in the winning goal. One week later the tables were more than reversed when the Cadets journeyed to Montreal to take on the same team. A great demonstration of what rabid vocal support can do was given by the Loyola fans as they saw their team overwhelm the Cadets 8-1 in a game which saw some peculiar ofiiciating send seventeen players to the penalty box. The following night RMC moved over to the lovely new McGill Arena and revenged themselves on hapless Sir George Williams in an anticlimatic game which wound up with a score of 5-1 for the Cadets. ' On February 15th RMC took on Bishops College from Sherbrooke at the ancient Jock Harty Arena. This proved to be an almost direct counterpart of the second Loyola game with RMC coming out of the fray on the long end of an 8-1 score. Team Captain Len Pitura had a field day in this game, notching 4 goals and an assist while former CMR star Ray Dube garnered two goals and an assist. Tom Morton playedf a standout game here and was robbed of his shut-out on a screened shot in the dying minutes of the game. The return game against Bishops was played the following week in Sherbrooke and in this writer's opinion turned out to be the most exciting of the season. RMC trailed all the way until the third period when Bob Marshall and Bill Dibden combined to knot the score at 3-all midway through that frame. Marshall went on to score the winning goal with less than a minute of regulation time remaining. The season's league play wound up the first week-end of March in Kingston when RMC again clashed with the boys from CMR. The game turned out to be quite an anti-climactic affair as the outcome was never in doubt with RMC continually in the lead. The 60 minute mark saw the local team ahead 3-2. The game is noteworthy, however, in that during its progress some 19 players marched to and from the penalty box. Much credit must go to Major Carr-Harris and his assistant Mr. D. P. Sexsmith for their untiring efforts on the coaching end and to FXL H. L. Broughton for his valuable assistance in attempting to alleviate some of the team's antiquated and unsuitable equipment. On the playing end, the lion's share of credit must go to Len Pitura and Bob Marshall for their standout performances throughout the season. No hockey team can hope to get anywhere without a good defense, and the Cadets' goals-against advantage over Loyola is due in the large part to the splendid defensive work of John MacDougall and Bill Dibden. As the final stop-gap, goalie Tom Morton deserves copious lashings of credit for the results of this, his first season of hockey. Just what next year holds in store for senior hockey at RMC remains to be seen. At this point, although the team will lose six players through graduation this spring, the talent on hand, augmented by potential resources from CMR. should produce a strong team for another crack at the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Trophy in 1957-58. -No. 3861, G. W. GooDERHAM 92 R.M.C. Review FENCING Another season of fencing has gone by. Was the fencing team fruitful in accumulating honours and glory? Not altogether. Was it beneficial to its members and to all concerned? Most definitely. Although not always successful in gaining that last point, the R.M.C. fencing team proved itself to be a dangerous opponent and was respected for its ability, and especially for its good sportsmanship. A standard was set which the team hopes and expects to maintain in the years to come. Sportsmanship primarily, championship eventually is the aim of the team. Although fencing existed at R.M.C. in post-war years, it was not reinstituted until four years ago by Cadets Sig Carlsen and Bill Albrecht. They have Worked hard at maintaining the club, often giving the instructions themselves. It goes without saying that Cadets Don Lefroy, Nick Romano, Serge Morin, Al Dormer and Don Mongeau also have proved themselves to be great assets to the R.M.C. team. - Much credit must go to Mr. R. Preston, who was responsible for organizing various competitions-a service highly appreciated by the club. The fencing team can boast of having competed against the best clubs in Canada-University of Toronto, McGill University, C.M.R. and the Quebec Fencing Association. The present members of the club-Peter Harkness, Bernard Montpetit, Jim Torck and Jean Carriere-bid farewell to a wonderful season and their departing team mates. No. 3778 J. E. CARRIERE FENCING Lefroy, Weese, Harkness, Dormer. 1957 93 TRACK AND FIELD The 1956 season consisted of the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference meet held at the College, and the Intermediate Intercollegiate meet held at McMaster University to which R.M.C. was invited on an unofficial basis. The Ottawa-St. Lawrence meet on October 20th proved to be an easy victory. as R.M.C. retained its championship with a IO3-point total. Ottawa University and Bishop's University followed with 63 and 22 points respectively. Every athlete contributed by placing in his event, but outstanding performances were made by team captain C. E. S. Ryley in winning the three sprints, and by the mile relay team of Kells, Boyington, D. R. Wright and Ryley. At McMaster on October 24th the team faced more adequate competition, and achieved a creditable third place with 29 points behind Oueen's with 39 and O.A.C. with 48 points. McMaster, Waterloo College, Toronto and Assump- tion College also competed. R.M.C. was again strong in the sprints, Ryley taking the 220 and 440-yard dashes and placing second in the 100 yards. Kells lost a fine half-mile by only a foot, while the relay team finished a good third in the exciting mile medley race. Logie took the discus and was third in the shot, while Yarymowich came second in the pole vault. Our distance runners were rather outclassed by the well-conditioned opposition, but Rompre managed a fourth in the three-mile. Over the season, C.E.S. Ryley was the most consistent performer, while Kells showed the greatest improvement. The team appreciates the work of Mr. C. F. A. Beaumont, who in his first year as staff manager looked after its needs well. Walton acted as cadet manager and Fenton gave the team good press coverage.

SHELDRICK HARRIERS Representative harriers at the Colloge had a rather disappointing season in 1956. Despite the efforts of the staff manager, Mr. C.F.A. Beaumont, in scheduling three meets, little interest was shown by the cadets in harrier running. The capable coaching of Mr. McDonell was missed, but this was no excuse for the lack of training by the competitors. The C.M.R. invitation was the first outing for the team. Over a BTA-mile course R.M.C. placed a distant third of the three clubs fielding a full team, behind the Francs Amis of Montreal and C.M.R. Rompre was R.M.C.'s best man with an eighth place finish of the 21 competitors. Kells, Moffat, Hay, Sheldrick and Walton rounded out the team. The following week, the day after the College harrier race, C.M.R. were R.M.Cfs guests for a 4-mile race run in clear, cold weather. Rompre showed stamina and fortitude in winning his second race in two days, but C.M.R. took thetnext five places to win by a 35-20 score. At the Montreal Star road race on 17 November, R.M.C. was represented by Rompre, who had a bad day and didn't produce his usual form.

If the representative team is organized early in the year, a coach obtained, and the runners train conscien- tiously, R.M.C. can again attain the standard which five years ago gave the College the reputation of having one of the top harrier teams in eastern Canada. No. 4143 K. D. SHELDRICK THE JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM It was very obvious to the junior team at the very beginning of the season that the competition was going to be very stiff- This was the hrst year for R.M.C. to play in the O.H.A. Junior B League and the calibre of play was very high. However, the spirit of the team was never hampered by this and each member of the team played his heart out, losing some games by but one goal. Our coach, Lieutenant Hocking, recognizing the stiff competition, instilled in the players the basic principles of the game. The results were evident. The improvement in the players, individually and as a team was very pronounced. The Christmas exams, which usually deplete the ranks of college representa- tive teams, left the junior hockey team relatively untouched. And after Christmas the players renewed their efforts to win their first game. The team did not win, although two very close games were lost to Belleville. To the tune of 3-2 and 4-3, Belleville squeezed out victories. R.M.C. was never really outclassed but the breaks just never arrived when it came to putting the puck in the opponent's twine. Every game did not take place in the league and on February l5th, the team journeyed to Montreal for an exhibition game against the C.M.R. junior i C ri rata' JUNIOR HOCKEY Rear Row -Couves.

SENIOR VOLLEYBALL After many years, volleyball has finally been recognized as a rep sport at R.M.C.g at least funds were set aside for the purchasing of equipment. Practices started in earnest after Christmas under the capable and experienced iron fist of SfSgt. Griesbach. Returning from last year's senior team were Murray Copeland and Art Clare. Up from the junior team were Pete Joyce and Al Tattersall, and out of retirement came Clare Woodbury and Don Coulter. The team was very fortunate in getting the nuclei of C.M.R.,s victorious C.S.C. team-Guy Provost, Roland fthe setterj Doucet and Ray fthe spikerb Mongeau. By the end of January the team felt confident enough to take on all comers. A trip was organized to play C.M.R. at St-Jean. R.M.C. defeated their sister college easily 4-1 in games, due mainly to the inspired play of the ex-C.M.R. cadets. During February, they journeyed to Ottawa to play the highly regarded Ottawa University team. The long lay-off proved fatal, for R.M.C. came out on the short end of a 3-2 score. One lesson that was learned during the set was how to control Ottawa's sinking line drive serves. It was felt by many who played and witnessed the games that both Ottawa and R.M.C. played their finest volleyball during the 1957 97 entire year at this time. During March, R.M.C. played host to Ottawa Y.M.C.A. Seniors and a Turkish Air Force team from London, Ont. The final set, played between R.M.C. and Ottawa, produced some of the finest and most exciting volleyball seen at R.M.C. in a long time. The first game turned in a see-saw marathon with Ottawa eking out a narrow 20-18 win. R.M.C. turned around and thumped them soundly, 15-7 in the second game, but the vastly more ex- perienced Ottawa team came through to win the final game 15-12. R.M.C. also participated in the Kingston League against two teams from the Canadian Army Stafif College and the Vimy Signals. Although play is not completed at the writing of this article, R.M.C. is virtua'1y assured of retaining the league championship won by last year's senior team. The team says adieu to such stalwarts as Murray Copeland Cteam captainj, Art Clare, Clare Woodbury and Don Coulter who are graduating this year. We all wish them the best of luck. The team also wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Lt. Smyth and Sy'Sgt. Griesbach for their services in organizing and coaching the team: No. 3736 A. J. K. MCKINNON THE PISTOL TEAM With the match against the U.S.M.A. the R.M.C. pistol team brought to a close its most successful season since the College reopened after the war. The team started its practices early in the fall with enough new cadets, especially ex-Royal Roads and ex-C.M.R., showing interest in pistol shooting to ensure a sufficient number of people from which to choose a 10-man team for any competition. For the first time, the team was able to use the new outdoor range on Point Frederick which added much to the time in which practices could be held. As the year progressed, the application and enthusiasm began to show results as the average practice score went up from 235 in the early fall to 270 in the spring. The intensive training and high morale began to produce results in com- petition as the season went on: At Toronto: R.M.C. 1235, T.A.H.A. 1194, Uof T. C.O.T.C. 1175 At R.M.C.: R.C.M.P. 1280, R.M.C. 1249. At Ottawa: R.C.M.P. 2064, R.M.C. 1762. At R.M.C.: R.M.C. 1290, Frontenac R 81 P Club 1215. R.M.C. 1317, Frontenac R 81 P Club 1250. At R.M.C.: R.M.C. 1256, T.A.H.A. 1236, R.C.S. of 1. 1009. At West Point: U.S.M.A. 1393, R.M.C. 1281. If one considers that last year the team did not win a single competition, the record of four wins to three losses becomes significant. Two of the losses were sustained against the R.C.M.P., probably the best Canadian pistol team. while the loss suffered at the hands of the Pointers was one against a team which had just previously returned from triumphs at the U.S. National Matches in Florida. The R.M.C. score in the latter match represented an increase of 80 points from last year's score against West Point. A corresponding improvement next year should bring the team within the winning range of the champions from West Point. Much of this year's success of the team was due to the work of two persons from outside the team. R.S.M. Coggins devoted much time and energy to 98 R.M.C. Review .

The team is also greatly indebted to Cpl. Zavitz of the R.C.M.P., a member of Canada's Olympic team in pistol, for his week's coaching previous to the U,S,M.A. match. His experience, kno-wledge and inspiration of confidence all contributed to the highest score yet produced by R.M.C. in the traditional match. Since next year the team will retain most of its best shots, the future looks very bright and the cadets have their sights set at reversing the 1955-56 record of no wins to no losses in 1957-58. No. 4112 L. O. S. CEPUCH THE R.M.C. RIFLE TEAM The R.M.C. team travelled on November 24th to Toronto and Hart House where the Anglers and Hunters waited for their first major victory of the season. They were disappointed to the tune of a 983 to 976 score in favour of R.M.C. A C.O.T.C. contingent from U. of T. also made a bid for top honours, but the reserve cadets took 948 points out of a possible 1000 points and third place. One week later, on December 1st, R.M.C. played host to the R.C.M.P. team from Ottawa. The match turned out to be one of those shoots which make rifle shooting the fascinating sport it is. At the end of the match the score was tied- 785 all, out of a possible 800 points for each team. All eyes were glued to the scoreboard as the X-bulls were counted in order that the tie could be broken. The Mounties scored 50, the R.M.C. co-lumn was added but the club ran out of x's at the 45 mark. It was the Mounties, day, and what a day! It was an eager squad which left R.M.C. for Ottawa on January 12th. The return trip to face the Mounties produced another memorable contest as the two l957 99 The R.M.C. club visited Camp Borden on January Zoth. Once again, competition was fierce, but by the closing shots the cadets were forced to concede defeat to the soldiers. The score, out of a possible 2000 points for each team, was: R.C.S. of l. 1573, R.lVl.C l556. The season was climaxed when R.M.C. was visited: by two teams on March 2nd. They were the Toronto Anglers and Hunters, anxious to make good for their previous defeat, and the Infantry team ready to repeat their earlier victory. Morning and afternoon the firing went on. Gnce again, the scoreboard was the centre of attraction with each new score producing new speculation. Finally, late in the afternoon, the outcome was clear. The visitors had been defeated and it was R.M.C.'s season. The scores were R.M.C. 1564, T.A.8aH.A. 1553, and R.C.S. of I. 1546. During the winter, the team also competed in a local league consisting of R.C.E.M.E., ll Medical Coy., P.W.O.R., Alcan, Frontenac and R.C.E. The hnal shoot-off for the Hawley Trophy occurred, on February 26th with R.M.C. once again clinching the league title, followed by Alcan who captured the Hawley Shield and second place. To round: out the season, the representative team managed to defeat two British military colleges in postal matches. Sandhurst fell to a 784 to 770 score while the R.A.F. College, Cranwell, showed a 494 to 482 deficit. Thus, at the end of a successful season, our thanks go out to Captain Collingwood, oud manager and enthusiastic supporter in all our contests, to R.S.M. Coggins who whipped us into shape with advice and support, to W.O.2 McGill who kept the records and kept us in line, and, of course, to Sgt. Girdon who remained after hours at the range many times, and who opened our lockers when we forgot to bring our keys. No. 4208 L. E.

Only two of last year's team were present, so several practices were spent learning fundamentals and the team gradually began to know each other's characteristics and to play as a unit. Each Saturday morning until the C.S.C. Tournament, our junior uvolley- bal1ers played in the Kingston City Volleyball League. At this time, when the senior team took over, they were on top of the league. One Saturday was devoted to playing in a tournament at the Ottawa Y.M.C.A. against some of the top teams in Canada. Although the team lost its games, it was beginning to show more drive and organization. The fun of playing, the thrill of seeing top calibre teams in action, and the experience gained made the trip worthwhile. Then, in February, came the C.S.C. Tournament. In the first game, C.M.R. defeated Royal Roads and then went on to defeat R.M.C. 15-6, 16-14, 15-5. In the final game between Roads and R.M.C. to determine second place, Roads won the first match 15-7. Then, R.M.C. came from behind to win the second match 15-13. In the third match, Roads put on a spurt at the end to overcome an R.M.C. lead and win 15-10. Despite the loss in the Tournament, the enjoyment derived from the practices and games made the season a success for the team. They will remember the electrostatic shocks sometimes received upon touching the net in the Old Gym. Nor will thew forget the heads-up ball played by Bill Scott, nor George's driving spikes. Jerry McManus had that tricky serve that always seemed to be heading l957 IU! for the net, and Don Weese seemed able to spike in any direction. Don Karn played a very steady game when he wasn't being chased into the back court by Staff. Doug Moffatt had a penchant for being in the way whenever Gut Mackay, elbows flying, ran backwards with his eyes on the ball. Got those glasses fixed yet, Gus? Un behalf of the team, l would like to thank Lt. Smyth, our senior staff representative, and S,,fSgt. Griesbach, our coach, for all they did for the team. Staff often told us that we were playing because we enjoyed it. We did! No. 4430 D. F. MoFifA'rT Z SKI TEAM Rear Row -Wallace, Fell, McManus. Volk. Front Row -Ross, Frontier, Mr. Bodnar fCoachJ, Rochester. THE SKI TEAM This year a group of ten skiers, nattily dressed in red and white racing jackets, made a name for R.M.C. in the Ottawa Ski circles. Each weekend the team under the management of Mr. Bodnar competed in all races and jumping tournaments held at Camp Fortune and ended up the season with no less than eight individual first places and two team. championships. Jerry Ross won three slalom races and one downhill race for himself and was advanced at the end of the season to an HA class slalom runner, a rating that is the dream of all keen racers. Lawlor Rochester started the season off with a slalom win on the first weekend and followed up with winning the Ottawa- St. Lawrence Conference downhill and a second in the conference cross-country. Don Wallace, an addition to the team from Royal Roads and one time Dominion and National Junior Jumping Champion, sailed his way to two first place jumping tournaments. Jeep Fortier, the team's best alpine skier, suffered a sprained ankle early in the season and was unable to compete in most of the meets. As a team R.M'.C. made by far its best showing by entering three team meets and winning two of them and placing third in the other. l0.'Z R.M.C. R4'vic'u' In the Gttawa-St. Lawrence Conference meet staged by Carleton College, R.M.C. edged out Bishop's folowed by Loyola and C.M.R. In the downhill Lawlor Rochester captured first place followed by Wallace and Ross in second and third place. Jerry Ross once again won the slalom with the rest of the team running into trouble on the icy course and placing far behind. In the jumping Don Wallace rode his way to a first place with Rochester and Jerry McManus tying for fifth place. In the cross-country R.M.C. had to be satisfied with a second place taken by Lawlor Rochester who was less than one minute behind Bishop's Scott Griffin. In the Carleton College Invitational Meet, run in conjunction with the Con- ference Meet R.M.C. placed third with one first place taken by Wallace in the jumping. In the Ottawa University Invitational Meet the team once again waiked away with first place with Jerry Ross winning the downhill, slalom and combined. Next year, unfortunately, the team will be losing Mr. Bodnar who acted as coach and manager for the past two years. For the benefit of all new skiers coming to the college it is sincerely hoped that when Mr. 'Bodnar has finished studying in England that he will return to the staff of R.M.C. and to the ski team. No. 4514 J. MCMANUS CANADIAN SERVICES COLLEGES ANNUAL TGURNAMENT On the evening of January 23rd, 1957, the Canadian Services Colleges annual ball concluded another successful C.S.C. Tournament. With R.M.C. as the host for the competitions, each team was supported by a strong cheering section with the visiting colleges having their own graduates as rooters. Of the five sports engaged in-volleyball, basketball, bo-xing, swimming, and rifle shooting-R.M.C. took first place only in the rifle match. Captain Doug Bell led the R.M.C. snipers--Bell, Mitchell, Armstrong, Boggs and Cousins-to an easy victory. Although the team's score of 490 out of 500 was more than sufficient to beat Royal Road's score of 480 and C.M.Rfs 479, it was lower than they had fired in the previous Week's practices. Bell was high man in the match with a 99 x 5. R.M.C.'s basketball team surprised many ex-Royal Roads cadets by besting the favourites 49-44. Steve Stankus's long range but accurate shooting was a mainstay for the red and white and with Dino Benedet out-manoeuvering the opposing guards the home team was well-paced. Stankus with 19 points and Benedet with 13 led the offence for the victory. Royal Roads, high scorer with I0 points was Tony Manson, brother of the R.M.C. coach. The effect of playing in an unknown gym was evident in the Royal Roads shooting which was much below par. In their second game, Royal Roads swamped C.M.R. 60-30 as they hit their stride and gave a smooth exhibition of basketball which resulted in favourable comments from all spectators. In the second game of the day, the R.M.C.A quintet missed victory by a slim margin as C.M.R. subdued them 54-51. Stankus was again high scorer for the home team and tied for C.M.R.'s Williamson for top honours. Each scored 16 points. The fine playing of Logie, Morris, Barrigar and Gall was evident throughout both games, both offensively and defensively. Another creditable showing was put forth by the swim team.

C.M.R. won with 15 points, while R.M.C. and R.R. followed with 13 and ll points respectively. The diving team of Brough and: McManus took a close second place in that event with 289.3 points compared: to 312.3 for C.M.R. and 180.1 for R.R. Their springboard rivals were Harvey and Gravel for C.M.R. and Hatfield and Foster for R.R. Although the volleyball team made a fine eliort, their drive was not suliicient to overcome the superior skill of the opponents. The team consisting of Karn, Scott, Moffatt, Weese, McKay, Vrana and McManus won only one game against R.R. in their competitions. R.R. in turn won one match with C.M.R. Thus, the cadets from St-Jean came forth with a line record of live wins and one loss and R.R. took second place with two wins and: four losses. Still another second place berth was gained by R.M.C. in the sport of blood and guts , commonly called the fights and demurely referred to as boxing. C.M.R. once again proved its supremacy in the ring by emerging with 13 points, although closely followed by R.M.C. with .12 and R.R. with ll. Although Hawkins, de Chastelain, Ashley and Morris were defeated, they certainly proved that they could take anything that was thrown at them and their decisions weren't determined until the linal bell. Ferri, Bryga, Urie and Welch were the winners for R.M.C. The winners from C.M.R. were Leduc, Stefanson, Copeland and Crossland, while those from R.R. were Weatherhead, Fletcher and Baragar. This year the Claxton Cup for the winner of the C.S.C. Tournament was presented to Cadet Wing Commander Ray Bernier of the College Militaire Royal. Captain Charles, Commandant of Royal Roads-last year's winner--made the presentation. The Marshall Memorial Award is in memory of FXO J. A. Marshall who was killed during training in 1954 and is presented by the members of his class. This year Cadet Wing Commander Mark McAvity of Royal Roads was the recipient of this award. Due to his absence at the time of presentation, the trophy was accepted for him by Captain Charles from Lt. R. F. Maun, FXO Marshalls Cadet Wing 2 ifc. No. 4506 C. J. BARRIGAR THE WEST POINT WEEKEND Early on the morning of Friday, March Sth, R.M.C.'s Senior Hockey and Pistol teams with two debaters embarked in two busses to make the long trip to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, for the annual competitions. The weather was terrible but the cadets were nonetheless impressed by the rugged country near the Academy, as well as the expansive layout of the many buildings themselves. Upon arrival at the reception centre, the R.M.C. cadets met their doubles for the weekend and were escorted, tired and hungry, back to their quarters to clean up for dinner. Each cadet lived in a room with two or three West Point cadets and did just as they did, as well as he could. After dinner in the huge mess hall fcapacity 2,200 at one sittingl the visitors attended a review put on by the graduating class which was called the 6'Hundredth- Night Show . This production marked the hundredth night before graduation and was a very excellent and elaborate stage show which was enjoyed by all. After breakfast, the visitors were given a few short lectures to introduce them to West Point and were shown a short film about the history and life at their United States counterpart. After the lectures, some of the non-athletic com- 1957 105 K ' as 1 :a:e:s:s: sv 112:53 -- ' 4 I J 1 ' f ww .X ' -Qfgfwwv-E. :-:-1-el:-e .f -:-::e-- .,- ff.- ww - .

Rc't'it'u petitors were given a tour of the Academy's grounds and were particularly ,im- pressed by the extensive gymnasium and athletic facilities at West Point, as well as Flirtation Walk and the other points of more historical interest. The topic for debate Saturday afternoon was Resolved that the use of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement and the debate proved to be a very lively and interesting one. R.M.C., represented by C.F.L. Renaud and C.S.C. Carlsen, had the negative which enabled them to use a great many concrete examples while the Pointers had to rely upon rather vague moral issues. The panel of judges, composed of three officers from the Academy, awarded the victory to the negative. This proved to be R.M.C.'s only victory of the week- end and was very well won. In the pistol match, also held on Saturday afternoon, R.M.C. managed to improve upon their score of the previous year by 80 points, but still fell over 100 points short of the very fine West Point pistol team. This team had just re- turned from the U.S. National Championships and were worthy opponents for any pistol team. R.M.C. is improving every year and with continued good coaching like that of Cpl. Javitz of the R.C.M.P., should come up with a win in the very near future. R.M.C. scored 1281 out of 1500, while the U.S.M.A. scored 1393. The annual hockey game, which was the main event of the weekend, was played in the Academy's arena, and turned out to be a disappointment to the visitors. The final score was 7-2 for West Point, with the Pointers getting stronger by the minute in the final period. Callaghan opened the scoring to put R.M.C. into the lead, but O'Connor and Hickey put West Point into the lead. Callaghan scored again to tie the score just at the end of the first period. The changed rules, the fast pace allowed by the large ice surface and the absence of the centre-ice red line began to tell on the visitors as the Pointers scored once in the second period and four times in the third. The Pointers scored three of their goals while R.M.C. were shorthanded. They were able to get their attack into the offensive zone much faster than R.M.C. and were able to keep the defence ofl' guard. West Point is beginning to place more emphasis on the sport of hockey and they have several fine big players. The whole R.M.C. team, from goalkeeper Morton out, played their best but were beaten by a bigger, faster and better-trained team who have daily access to their own arena, something that is lacking at R.M.C. Many people feel that R.M.C. will not win this game again unless some better arrangement is made to get ice for practice. A dance was held in one of the eight or nine gymnasiums and was well attended by cadets who had taken advantage of the offer of dates. Many ex-cadets were present to support the team and it was noticed that they seemed to be enjoying the weekend immensely. Early on Sunday morning the busses departed for R.M.C. on a beautiful day, carrying cadets very impressed by the United States Military Academy and the generosity of its Corps of Cadets who outdid themselves to ensure that the visitors had a good time. Although the hockey game was lost, no one felt that the weekend was not a triumph in international relations. No. 4119 C. W. W. D.ARLING I957 IU7 SWIM TEAM ln the first trial of the season, against McGill University, in Montreal, the R.M.C. group was defeated by a very powerful McGill squad. Ryley and Broughton particularly deserve mention for their strong efforts in this meet. This, however, was only a warm-up for the big Ottawa-St. Lawrence Con- ference Swim Meet which was held at R.M.C. this year. Led by Broughton, Caswell and Steuart, the team placed second to Laval with a sizeable margin over Ottawa University and Sir George Williams who placed third and fourth respectively. With a first in the IOO-yard freestyle and a second in the 220-yard freestyle, Broughton led the R.M.C. scorers followed: closely by Caswell with a first in the 100-yard backstroke and Steuart who took second in both the individual medley and the 400-yard freestyle. ln spite of these results and strong support from the rest of the team, Laval's strength in the relays where they gained almost half of their points, proved too much for R.M.C. The following weekend the team journeyed to Toronto to swim against the University of Toronto.

Next year it is hoped that more people will turn out and perhaps a better showing will result. Before closing, the team members would like to express their thanks to Sgt. Mason, P. O.

ANNAND IN TERSQUADRON SPGRTS Participation, enjoyment and the development of sportsmanship are the aims of the intersquadron sports program at R.M.C. Throughout most of this year the sports week has consisted of a three-day compulsory, two-day voluntary system, and this was barely satisfactory for the achievement of the programs aims. The shortening of playing time, though unfortunate, did not lessen the enthusiasm for playing sports on the intramural level. In fact, the spirit exhibited and the calibre of play was exceedingly high. As the majority of the cadets play intramurally, it is hoped that a further revamping of the system will bring the available hours of playing time up to that of years past. In the fall, a heavy schedule was undertaken for the various meets were intermeshed with daily sports. The meets were: track and field, harriers, obstacle course, regatta and swim meet, while the daily sports played were soccer, softball, touch football and a short program of tackle football and tennis. A combination of excellent weather and many interruptions allowed the program to last until exams, so that the indoor schedule started officially after Christmas. This schedule consisted of basketball, volleyball, water polo, ice hockey and floor hockey. On occasion, the ice on Navy Bay resounded to the thwacking of broom balls. As playing time was so restricted, single leagues in all but basket- ball were played. A 'B' league was played in basketball on a voluntary basis until afternoons for this ceased to exist. During this term, recreational skiing in Ottawa proved increasingly popular and a small number of cadets were able to sail in the college's cadet-constructed ice boat. As a result of heavy emphasis through- out the year by the P.T. staff, gymnastics has occupied much of the cadets' free time. To those returning next year, here are a few rash predictions about inter- squadron sports. There will be at least twice as much tackle football played next year. There will be an even greater increase in ice hockey than that in football. An all-encompassing referee training program is likely to be carried out. Shculd these predictions come true, it will be as a result of the wholehearted support of sports exactly as was evident this year. For their cooperation and guidance during the year, the P.T. staff deserve an appreciative Thank You. CADET WING SPORTS STAFF No. 3951 S. J. VoLK No. 3918 A. K. ROBERTS No. 3932 D. K. GooDw1N No. 3689 M. E. COPELAND 1957 109 FALL TERM SPORTS TouCH FooTBALL The fall term of '56 saw touch football dominating the intersquadron sports scene with a total of 29 games played. Participation in this sport was extremely active as shown by the fact that all competition was between twelve-man teams, rather than eight or ten-man teams as has been known in the past. The mastery of the gridiron was never definitely decided since the final points showed Nos. 2 and 3 Squadrons tied for lirst place. The final standings were: First - No. 2 Squadron Fifth - No. 5 Squadron No. 3 Sixth - No. 4 Third - No. 8 Seventh - No. I Fourth - No. 5 Eighth - No. 7 SOCCER Soccer has also received a good deal of attention in this term with 26 games being chalked up. The overall brand of intersquadron soccer seems to be im- proving with a hard and fast style of play being exhibited. Supremacy on the soccer pitch was gained by No. 8 Squadron with five wins and two ties for 12 points. No. 5 Squadron was second with IO points. The soccer standings were as follows: First - No. 8 Squadron Fifth - No. 7 Squadron Second - No. 5 ', Sixth ----- No. 1 Third - No. 2 'S Seventh - No. 6 Fourth -- No. 4 Eighth - No. 3 SOFTBALL In the intersquadron softball, everyone interested had an opportunity to take part. Each squadron had an A team and a B team, each of which played the same number of games. In this way, players of mediocre ability were not side- lined but could enjoy playing in a league of their calibre, while the more proficient could test their skill among themselves. No. 7 Squadron proved its ability on the diamond by winning first place, followed by No. l Squadron. First - No. 7 Squadron Fifth - No. 6 Squadron Second - No. 1 Sixth - No. 8 Third - No. 3 7 Seventh - No. 2 Fourth - No. 4 No. 5 No. 2 Squadron showed athletic prowess in all sports. The total aggregate points for the fall sports, including the harriers, regatta, obstacle race, and tennis, is evidence of this with No. 2 Squadron standing at the top of the list. The stand- ings with the various points are: First -- No. 2 Squadron - 58 points Fifth - No. 3 Squadron - 4834 points Second - No. 7 'i - 56 'i Sixth - No. 3 -- 45 N Third - No. 8 - 50152 'i Seventh - No. 6 - 4095 Fourth - No. 4 - 49 Eighth - No. 5 - 4011, No. 4506 C. J. BARRIGAR l lll R.fW.C. Review INTERSQUADRON SWIM MEET The annual intersquadron swim meet was held on the evening of Friday, November 23rd. An informal dance was held after the meet and the pool was packed with cadets and their dates. Eliminations had been held in the various events during the previous week to cut out the necessity for heats. The meet was a very exciting one with the final standing much in doubt up to the final race. No. 4 Squadron took first place with 26 points, closely followed by No. l with 25, No. 2 with 24 and No. 7 with 22. Keith Steuart was a one-man team for No. 7 Squadron and the outstanding performer of the evening with firsts in the 100-yard Breast Stroke, 220-yard Freestyle and a new record of 48.3 seconds in the 75-yard Individual Medley Relay to break Dave Foster's mark of 49.0 seconds set in 1954. This is an amazing feat, considering the three races were swum within two hours. The standard of diving was very high this year with more entries than usual competing. As expected, Ben Dion of No. 7 Squadron took the 1-metre honours for the third straight year over Doucette of No. 4 and Watkins of No. 5. In the 3-metre contest, a fine battle developed between Morin of No. 2 Squadron and Darling of No. 3 with Darling edging out Morin with his last dive to turn the tables from the previous year's competition. Much credit must go to C.F.L. Copeland of Wing Headquarters who organized the meet and the many officials and judges who enabled the meet to be run so smoothly. The winners of the individual events were: 150-yd Medley Relay-No. 2 Squadron-Dickson. Morin and McManus 42.63 220-yd.

MEINCKE INTERSQUADRON TAC KLE FOOTBALL At the end of representative football season the intersquadron football series was held on Saturdays and Sundays while the good weather lasted. Practices, with the representative players coaching the teams, were held before breakfast and on weekends by the squadrons for some time before the all-too-brief season. Nos. 2, 8, 6 and 4 Squadrons were victorious in the first round of the straight elimination series. In the first game of the semi-finals, No. 2 Squadron, led by Dixon, Riley, Sheridan and Wigmore, defeated No. 6 by a score of 6-O. The lone touchdown was scored on the last play of the game when Doug Tufts' return kick from the end zone was blocked and fallen on for the six points. The other game was won by No. 8 over No. 4 quite handily by the score of 20-6, with Tim Ryley, MacDonald and Mansfield leading the victors. l957 Wh f w , iii W X I 1 I ff W 2931? 1 4 4 f? fo, ll-1 R.lW.C'. Rc'vic'w Due to the numerous activities going on in the Old Gym, badminton could be played only on those nights when the stall' was not using it and on those after- noons when it was not in use for other sports. However, the large entry in the intersquadron tournament indicates the amount of interest throughout the Cadet Wing in this sport, with over sixty cadets entering. Congratulations are due to Cadet N. Takahashi of No. 1 Squadron, who succeeded C.F.L. Perrin as this year's college champ. The results of the tournament this year are as follows: First - No. 1 Squadron Fifth - No. 7 Squadron Second - No. 3 Sixth - No. 4 Third - No. 2 Seventh - No. 5 Fourth - No. 5 Eighth - No. 6 33 No. 3886 D. B. PERRIN INTERSQUADRON HARRIERS On November 9th, the annual running of the intersquadron harriers took place. The course laid out this year was virtually the same.as the previous one the year before and once again proved to require considerable effort on the part of many. The race was started by the Commandant with his shotgun and in a very short time the mingled colours of the squadron sweaters could be seen stretched out over a considerable part of the course. J. P. Rompre finished quite strongly to win in the time of 17 min. 30 sec. which was slightly better than the winning time the previous year. He was followed by Amiro, Broughton, Froebel, Kells, and Moffatt in that order. The winning squadron this year was No. 7 Squadron led by Rompre and Amiro. The remaining squadrons finished in the following order: Nos. 6, 5, 3, 2, 1, 8, and No. 4 Squadron brought up the rear. INTERSQUADRON PISTOL COMPETITION This year's pistol shoots took a prominent place in the squadron activities as they counted towards the Hright of the line competition. There were three shoots held under the able organization of C.F.L. Shearing, and the generally improved scores throughout the year are the result of Sergeant Girden's patient coaching. Once more No. 3 Squadron has walked away with first place, however, No. 7 and No. 4 promise them stiffer competition next year. The final standings are as follows: Squadron Nov. Jan. Feb.

Spirit ran high among the recruits as they lined up in front of the Old Hospital Building for the annual running of the obstacle race. They formed a colourful group with the gold of No. 6 Squadron intermingled with the more somber colours of Nos. 1 and 4. This year the race was run in two waves of four squadrons each, the first starting about 1630 hours. As the Commandant's trusty shotgun boomed, a screaming, yelling herd was unleashed. They swarmed across the equare to en- counter the first obstacle, which was a mass of hurdles wired together to form a series of passageways to be crawled through. The wave swept on, only slightly dispersed. They zig-zagged down the field until they reached a series of grotesquely braced log crossbars that had to be passed over. A pattern of tires laid on the ground proved a slight diversion. Then came the obstacle that really funneled the stream down--three suspended tires. Teamwork was a necessity in going over the ten-foot high board wall which came next. As if this weren't enough climbing, the recruits then clambered up and over the walls of Fort Frederick with the aid of three ropes. The weather was very poor-the sun was out and it was warm and dry. The unsuitability of the weather combined with a lack of hose made for a very dry course. Evidence the fact that the recruits were able to continue down over the rampart, through a tortuous over-under obstacle and up the ramparts under a taut tarpaulin and still remain dry. The next obstacle took care of that. The traditional slide into the water- filled pit, complete with a trip ledge and a log to crawl over, thoroughly wetted everyone-including the spectators who got too close. The major engineering construction on the course now confronted. the bedraggled individual. Up and down a set of ramps that had the appearance of an inverted HW and into the moat for a series of obstacles. The enclosed sprinkle box posed a true test of fortitude, giving the illusion of imminent drownings. A few minor obstructions and then out of the moat and down the ramparts again. Up the ramparts the now thinned line straggled only to queue up in front of a small opening at the top. There, to cries of it's all downhill now and Hwatch your head', recruits were disappearing down the small black hole flat on their stomachs. They reappeared at the bottom, miraculously transformed from relatively clean cadets into mud-covered creatures from the depths. Where the reserve supplies of energy used in the final sprint up the football field came from is entirely incomprehensible. After subjecting themselves to the rejuvenating infiuence of hot showers, the recruits bounded back to take full advantage of their lids off privileges. Squadron Orders were held throughout the Wing, with justice being dispensed indescriminately to all seniors. Despite restrictions this year, large numbers of fourth year cadets appeared to be very freshly scrubbed the next morning. All the recruits made a magnificent effort with the squadrons finishing in the following order: 3, 4, 2, 1, 8, 5, 7 and 6 with Cadet Gall of No. 4 Squadron having the best time-10 min. 18 sec.-followed by Cadets Marshall, Richardson, Lomheim and Murata. No. 4126 R. F. BERTRAND 1957 1 17 WINTER TERM SPORTS BASKETBALL- As in the past years, intersquadron basketball again occupied a most prom- inent position in the winter sports schedule. This year both competition and calibre of play were exceedingly high. Each game was closely contested and no great difference in ability was apparent even between first and last place teams, as final standings would indicate. The schedule consisted of a complete round-robin series with 28 games in all. Final standings were as follows: No. 7 Squadron I6 points No. 5 Squadron 8 points No. 6 13 No. 4 6 '1 No. 8 13 No. 2 6 NO. 1 99 19 NO. 3 L2 97 VOLLEYBALL- This year saw a high calibre of play in intersquadron volleyball owing, no doubt, to the fact that representative volleyball team members were permitted to participate in the intersquadron event. The schedule consisted of a double elimination series, with teams from each of the eight squadrons. From the beginning of the schedule it was evident that Nos. 7 and 1 Squadrons possessed superior teams which far outdistanced their rivals. The standing at the end of the schedule are as follows: No. 7 Squadron 8 points No. 3 Squadron 515 points No. 1 7 No. 8 315 No. 4 SV4 No. 2 115 No. 6 ' 515 '1 No. 5 115 ' FLooR HocKEY-- This popular activity attained increasing interest during the past season and each team had a good representation of both players and spectators. The probable cause for this interest is the opportunity offered for juniors to throw some weight around among their seniors by this sport of bodily contact. Despite keen competition by all teams, no serious injuries were incurred due mainly to capable refereeing. The schedule consisted of a round-robin series of 28 games. Final standings were as follow: No. 7 Squadron 715 poinas No. 4 Squadron 4 points No. 6 1' 7Vz 1' No. 3 3 No. 5 1' 515 No. 2 115 No. 8 ' 515 No. 1 115 1 WATER PoLo- This vigorous sport which combines swimming and teamwork has had a high degree of spectator appeal during the past season and both spectators and players have received much enjoyment through participation. The schedule consisted of a double elimination series. From the beginning of the schedule, No. 2 Squadron exhibited ability which was superior to that of other squadrons. For the third time in four years, LaSalle's Redmen have captured the College water polo championship.

Review INTERSQUADRON RIFLE As members of Brock Squadronls rifle team will tell you, it has been a successful year. That squadron emerged from the fray as champions of the inter- squadron rifle competition, and as such will hold the Province of Ontario Challenge Shield for one year. ln the three monthly competitions, the winning marksmen amassed a total of 4125 points for an average of 91.770 For this achievement, the fifteen members of the team each receive an engraved silver spoon. In each of the November, January and February shoots, the top marksman also received a silver spoon. This year the spoon winners were Armstrong of No. 8 Squadron, Amyot of No. 4 Squadron and Paukstaitis of No. 6 Squadron. Dick. Paukstaitis also receives the Province of Quebec Challenge Shield as the high man for the year, with an average of 99070. This award also entitles him to wear the crossed rifles and crown next year. These monthly shoots are the basis of the right to wear the marksman badges --the crossed rifles. There will be many proud possessors of these awards and, sad to say, a few long faces belonging to those who failed to requalify. Even though this competition counts points in the race for supremacy in sports and right of the line, there is interest in shooting for its own sake, and the awards are certainly received in the intended spirit-to foster competition and sportmanship.

WILLIAMSON OPEN BOXING The Open Boxing Championship on February 9th served for the more aggressive of the C.S.C. Tournament boxers as a testing ground for the Tourna- ment bouts which were to come on February 22nd, These bouts indicated, for the most part, the ability of the C.S.C. boxers which was later to be carried into the C.S.C. Tournament. At the same time, it is significant to note that only two out of twelve boxers participating came from the senior years at the College. Whether this is an indication of the disrespect held for boxing on the part of the senior years, or an indication of squadron coercion of junior members to participate for the sake of the squadron is not known, but the fact remains that the interest this year was not found, as previously, in the senior years, but rather in the junior ones. On the part of First and Second Years, this is a commendable showing of spirit. In the first bout of the evening, Ferri, last year's Gold Cup winner, ably demonstrated his unorthodox, yet effective, style by easily outpointing Butler of No. 6 Squadron. In the following bout, Lomheim's cool head outmanoeuvered the bull-rush tactics of Skaling. Exhaustion opened Skaling to a vicious attack by Lomheim but the fight was stopped, Lomheim receiving the decision of a TKO. The same decision was reached in the third fight, when the capable Hawkins was too much a match for Fogg. At the start, the light carried a tragic air which soon solidified and then disappeared when the fight was stopped. 1957 U9 The best fight of the evening was that between de Chastelain and Coulter, both of No. 3 Squadron. A good exhibition of the stand-up style of fighting, common to British boxers, was displayed by both fighters, and only after a close fight could the decision be handed to Coulter. Both boxers were persistent in their efforts, and only through constant aggressiveness was Coulter able to win. In the next bout, Steuart, the Hurricane Jackson of No. 7 Squadron out- pointed Welch of the same squadron through his Jacksonian tactics. His arms never seemed to give up. Many of his blows, however, were ineffective, either glancing or missing completely. None seemed to carry much power, but through the fact that he was able to punch more frequently and longer than Welch, he won. The last fight of the evening proved that once again Ferri should earn the Gold Cup. In his second fight of the evening, his handling of Bryga caused the light to be stopped. This is no discredit to Bryga, whose showing was quite commendable, but rather a clear indication of Ferri's ability in the ring.

W. PRESTON INTERSQUADRGN HOCKEY Ice hockey, being both the favourite winter sport of Canada and one of the major sports at R.M.C. aroused quite an interest at the College, especially at the intersquadron level. The relatively high calibre of play-making and speed managed to lure out a few spectators. This year a single elimination series was played. The reason for such a short schedule was the difficulty in obtaining ice time. Still, spirits were high and each squadron set the championship as its goal. The first four games showed that good hockey was not only to be found at rep hockey level-low scores, the highest of which was No. 6 Squadron's win over No. 4, 8-4, showed this. The four winners moved into the semi-finals where No. 6 Squadron met No. 3, and No. 7 met No. 8. Both of these games were very fast and quite close, the victors winning by one goal. The former was won by No. 6 Squadron, 3-2, and the other by No. 8 Squadron, 7-6. I 20 R.M.C. Review This left the two top teams set for a sudden death final game. Both by now were in good shape, each with two games beneath its belt. The game started out at a rapid pace, No. 6 Squadron being awakened to reality by having two quick goals scored against them. This aroused No. 6's spirit and led on by such stars as Romyn, Tufts, Fournier, etc., No. 6 got back into the game and went on with a score of 5-3 to become the champs. The standings as a result of this series were as follows: No. 6 Squadron - 16 points No. 1 Squadron - 5 points No. 8 - 14 No. 2 - 5 No. 7 - ll No. 4 ' - 5 No. 3 - ll No. 5 ' -- 5 NO. 3883 E. GAGOSZ RECRUIT BOXING a Previously, these bouts had been held before Christmas with a view more to squadron competition than to early selections for the C.S.C. Tournament. R.S.M. Coggins' boxing classes began well before Christmas with this latter end in view, since early selection gave more time to training. The lesson learned from these bouts proved no different than that of previous years-that the success of tournament boxing lay in the conditioning of the boxers. However, this was to be rectified with time. In the featherweight division, Lewis, constantly jabbing and counter- punching, easily decisioned the rush-and-swingv Skaling. Lomheim of the lightweights defeated McCormick in a show of straight jabs which proved more harmful than at first appeared. The following welterweight bout proved the most colourful of the evening, with de Chastelain setting and maintaining a fast pace to easily outbox and out- punch his opponent, Gall. By good counter-punching and ring manoeuverability, McDonald overcame Mitchell's rushing tactics to carry the final decision. This was the middleweight bout which was followed by the light-heavies, Barrett and Morris. After Barrett's initial blazing start, Morris' endurance took over, and the final decision went to Morris. The last bout of the evening, the heavyweight, was indicative of good boxing, Walsh using his long reach with advantageous effect to defeat Wright. From these boxers was selected the C.S.C. team which came a close second in the tournament. With much credit going to their trainers, most must be given to the boxers in their enthusiasm and willingness to fight. The close results of the individual fights showed that when the right things are emphasized, results follow. No. 4237 A. W.

A bright, watery sun shone yellow and gave the storm-wet earth a steamy sparkle, and with an optimistic industry fresh green things covered the wasted soil. Yes, the sun shone, the sky was blue, and for a few ephemeral years people were happy, but even as the sun grew warmer a breath of wind arose, a wind which was chill without being cold, for it was the wind of fear and told of evils to come. The sun grew hot and dark, and the evil wind swept over the horizon, laden with cold reality. Darkness. In the gloom the wind whipped the trees and tore away the green leaves and carried them in gritty gusts along the barren ground. The leaves of prosperity, of culture. of peace, were gone, and the bare trees of Human Life, stark and gaunt, made music in the wind, and that music was War. Perhaps the seed that grew into Man fell onto other worlds too. Some were stark and wild, scathed by winds of deadly gases, corroded by lakes of smoking liquids. Others, hot with fume-laden atmospheres under inconceivable pressures, had surfaces bfistered by volcanic erruptions, forever unseen in dense perennial gloom. On these the seed perished leaving them barren, for they were alien to life. On Earth it found the Garden of Eden and thrived greedilv, and Man took over the planet for his own use. The development was rapid, hastened by lack of want, and in its rapidity. incomplete, laced with imperfections. Of these many were minor, insignificant details. Some men were hard of hearing, others had weak eyes or distorted limbs. These were individual faults. Susceptibility to disease, and physical weakness were general ones. Yet, all these could be over- come by the quality of the species, they would be atoned by the brilliance of the brain. One fiaw was more deadly than the rest. It defied man's feeble efforts to control it, it threatened to destroy Man on Earth and turn his Paradise into a barren desert. Selfishness. It controls Man s every move, his most unpremeditated action. His going out in the morning and his coming in at night, his life, his love, and his death. Even the most outwardly selfless act is done because the doer feels better for the deed. Some men have learned by superior powers of the mind to control their instinctive selfishness, and subdue it into submission for long periods of time, but this is rare, and such men are called by others, Saints and Martyrs. In some this evil has become so deeply ingrained that they have lost sight of it, lost awareness of its relentless presence. Silently it maligns the unsuspecting heart and poisons Man against himself, until, polluted bv its venom, he turns against his fellow, and the world becomes too small to hold them all. Shadows fall, and the light turns away from such stupidity. Ragged darkness, clear and cold, enshrouds the garish scene, enflamed by the steely glow of terrible weapons that tear the surface of the Earth. Tremendous power released by Manis hand to transmute, mar, and destroy. After an age of blackness a cold grey dawn, and distant rays of pale light filter down. Remnant winds course through broken shrubs with a smell of burning, whirling whispy Shawls of mist playfully around motionless matter. For a moment there is a gray silhouette, then it is gone again, veiled in the silent vapour. The fog drifts apart and the weak light falls on the bent back and drooped shoulders of man, bowed and ragged, abysmally lonely, suffering silently for the folly of his race. 1957 l23 He had known courage in battle, but now in the brightening morning he was suddenly afraid. Of what? His mouth felt dry and his spine tingled appre- hensively. Wakefulness, darting eyes nervously probing the emptiness. He knew what it was-he was afraid of his terrible loneliness, afraid that there was no one else with whom he could share his plight, afraid of the thought of living alone, without a friend. So what if he had the whole Earth to himself? What good was that if he had no one to help him live in it, no one to talk to, to watch him do things, to laugh with, to live with? What could he live for? Himself? Suddenly that was miserably unimportant. Himself! How inane. He had to have someone else, a companion, a reason to stay alive. Desperately he looked around. He ran, stumbled on through the wilderness searching in vain in the rubble. He grew frenzied, panicky, aware that what he was looking for had been destroyed by that last bomb. He had had it, slighted it, neglected it woe- fully, and now it was gone, lost forever. Comradeship. The mist closed around him, flattened him into a grey shadow, and swallowed him up. . ak ik SIC Ulf He didn't know how long he had been staring out of the window. The dry monotone of the lecturer still droned on in the distance. His thoughts, stale from the mundane factuality of his books, had wandered far away, into the Future. When they returned, cold and frightened by what they had seen, they felt warm, as someone coming to shelter from a wintry blizzard. He looked at all the filled seats around him and he was inexpressibly happy. Each of those familiar faces was suddenly a close friend. He had learned something from this lecture after all, he had learned to appreciate the value of comradeship. He might forget it again in a thoughtless moment, but never for long, because there, in the Future, in the shadows of his mind he had seen a solitary man, aimlessly wandering through the smoke that had been civilization, in the cold, empty world he had to face without a friend. M. REIMANN TO YOU THE MAN 0F TQMORROW I do not intend to write a literary masterpiece or to lay down a dogma which everybody must agree with. I intend to do no more than discuss some reflections that should concern you, the man of tomorrow, who must be prepared to return to society the full measure for what you have received. Man cannot live alone. Since he is, by nature, a social animal, he must live in a community in order to provide for all his wants, physical as well as spiritual. A child is born to his parents who must sustain him, providing shelter, protection, food, clothing and education until he is able to provide these things round which society develops. This is the basis of the family life and the family constitutes the nucleus around which society develops. Moreover, man cannot live alone because he cannot perform all tasks with equal efficiency. Consequently, it has proved to the advantage of civilization for each man to perform the labour he has the aptitude for. Society long ago learned the mutual advantages to be found in such a distribution of labour. One man confines himself to hunting and, be- coming proficient through practice, catches a surplus with which to buy the services of others skilled in their particular occupation. Ideally, each man will perform the task his talents equip him best to do. In cooperation of this kind is the beginning of order and growth in society. The basic principle of social I2-1 R.M.C. Review cooperation is exchange. One person makes shoes and exchanges them for bread, another builds houses and exchanges them for vegetables from the gardener, for meat and fur from the hunter and for clothes from the tailor. In modern society, no man is self-sufficient. He produces a specialized product or service to earn the money to buy the products or services of others. The money he earns and spend-s is nothing but a convenient and efiicient medium of exchange. It is also the symbol of a highly complex society made up of highly interdependent in- dividuals, each of whom depends for existence on the principle of exchange. l would like you to think seriously about this subject, young man, and to try to transpose this principle to your present and future life. What part are you now playing in society and what part will you have to play later on? Today you receive, tomorrow you will have to give. What are you receiving today, young man? Well, at R.M.C. you are receiving not only a university education but a superior training in character. It may be true that, at the moment, you find it difficult to understand why this training is superior, but I am sure that if you take the trouble to ponder the subject seriously, you will easily discover the reason. ' When you first came to the College, you were a relatively inexperienced young man. In all probability, everything in life had been easy for you. How- ever, if you believe that you were hardened to life before you came here and that you had all the experience necessary for maturity, remember that the hardships of your boyhood were nothing compared to those you will have to face in later life, and that your problems will increase in number and complexity as you get older. After all, as a child your only cause of sorrow was your mother's refusal to buy you candy or ice cream, as a boy, it may have been a baseball glove or a bicycle that you were refused. Important as such problems might have appeared at the time, they are insignificant in comparison with those faced by the responsible adult, who must provide for his wife and family, meet doctorfs b-ills, taxes and a multitude of other expenses. To solve the problems he faces at work and at home, a man must possess sound judgement and good character which he must largely acquire through experience. Therefore, do not persist in complaining that, as a boy, you had a more difficult time than some other lad from a wealthy family. For you are in some ways the richer because you had the opportunity to strengthen yourself for adult life. You have acquired experience which will be valuable in helping you to overcome the difficulties you will soon have to face. Even though many things here at the College seem contrary to your views of what is enjoyable, you must learn to accept the disciplines that may not be pleasant to your immature sense of values at the present but have proven themselves worthy by producing many of your great predecessors. Only when you have made this positive act of acceptance, you will acquire this valuable training of character. If, on the other hand, you endure these irritations without accepting them, the development of your character will be only superficial and your four Cfive?J years at R.M.C. will be unhappy ones. In short, you will have failed to make the most of a great opportunity. I do not believe it necessary to compare the character building that you receive here with that received at a civilian university, for, if you consider this point thoroughly, you will see for yourself the great advantages there are in studying at R.M.C. These advantages will be most apparent during the post-R.M.C. year spent at a university. So, young man, you are now receiving a broadly-based education, to- morrow, if you want to fulfill your obligations, you will have to repay society 1957 125 for investing in you, and you will have to repay more than civilian university graduates, and very much more than the mass of young men who have not had the chance to receive an education and training equal to yours. CLASS or 58 ON WRITING AN ESSAY Here I sit in my cold tomb in the silent, austere crypt, Haldimand. Sitting . . . dreaming. The heaviness of the atmosphere settles down upon me, pushing my head closer and closer to my desk as I think to myself: I must write an essay. f'But what should I write? An essayist should be able to write on anything. Yes, but I'm not an essayist. And so I sit-doing nothing, accomplishing nothing . . . thinking. HI should polish my boots. You should.

GRAHAM' A RECRUIT'S FIRST LETTER HOME Royal Military College Kingston, Ont. Dear Mom and Dad, Well, my high school dream of going to R.M.C. has finally been realized. but what a nightmare it is turning out to be. I run about madly Cdouble they call it herel and never know a minute ahead of time where I'll be next. I am besieged from 6 a.m. till 12 midnight by uniformed machines who shout orders in our ears continuously. These are cadet officers, who are really fourth year cadets, but around here they have the authority of Generals as far as cadets are concerned. The moment I stepped from the bus in the centre of the paved quadrangle. I was met by a barrage of commands: Double off the square, recruit Keep your head up, recruit from all directions. I didn't know what double meant but I saw the others running, so I ran too. We were assigned to rooms and squadrons and no sooner had I located my room than we were ordered out, 126 R.M.C. Review and instructed to double the length of the square to a building there. We signed some documents and doubled back. Then we doubled over again and were issued with blankets and sheets, etc. For two hours we followed this routine- back and forth, back and forth, until I thought my legs would drop off. Then at 4 p.m., or perhaps I should use the military term, 1600 hrs, we assembled in an auditorium and listened to an address by the Commandant, Air Commodore Bradshaw. He emphasized that life would be hard for us while we were at R.M.C. Any recruit who had not come to this conclusion already must have been a mentally retarded case. At 5 p.m., we got our first taste of drill. Amid much shouting and frustration we managed finally to please our seniors and were marched off to dinner. That was a meal to remember. Buffet style, it included a dozen kinds of meat, more kinds of vegetables, salads, and everything you could dream of eating. As you can see, that was a momentous day. The rest have been the same, except that we now have uniforms to keep pressed and whisked. To keep every- thing done and my room tidy, I have to rise at 4 30 and usually don't go to sleep until midnight. ' Today we are going to have our first taste of pleasure. We are taking a tour of Old Fort Henry. It will probably be one of the few times out of the College we will have for a long while. We are not allowed to go on leave until we reach a certain standard in our drill. This will not be too hard for some of the boys, who have had military experience before, but I am going to find it hard. In spite of all the gloominess of the picture I seem to have of life at R.M.C., I am glad I am here. I donit think it will take me too long to get used to the routine. Perhaps then I'll be able to enioy such a luxury as sleeping until 6.30. Please don't worry about the harsh treatment they're giving your poor little son. He's a man now, or he will be, when he's through here. Love Brud D. M. RoB1NsoN CHANGE In the past three years I have made two major transitions. The first of these saw my protesting body yanked from the baggy, comfortable civilian suit it wore and placed in C.S.C. garb. This first change was rather like having a fast-moving train switch tracks without benefit of any intermediary rails. Despite this, however, over the course of three years, Humpty Dumpty was put together again. Things began to run smoothly as I adapted myself to the new way of life with its system,' and its idiosyncrasies. Then, I transferred to R.M.C. Except for a geographical shift of two hundred miles, new faces and different buildings, nothing much seemed different-the same confusion for the first few days, the same meals, the same two-by-sixteen foot sheets-everything fitted in. fThe sheets have nothing to do with this.J How mistaken I was. Gradually, I began to notice a few aspects of the system that were different. The fact that there existed such a thing as a squadron runner pleased me. No longer would there be a bugle at six-thirty to drive me through the ceiling with its horrible blast. Instead, I could expect a cheerful voice softly calling reveille. I changed my mind after the first morning. My door had been flung l957 l27 open, someone had turned on a battery of kleig lights and shouted in a voice only slightly less unnerving than a foghorn, Reveille.', Same old ceiling, I thought later, but I prefer the bugle's tone. To a person who was used to moving around a reasonable amount between classes, room 250 was a shock. The necessity of changing classes had, for three years, been responsible for waking me up for ten-minute breaks between lectures. I could then have a smoke, gossip a bit, borrow a few pennies, then return to the next fifty-minute nap. When I heard that most of the lectures this year would be given in room 250 I knew I was done for. Mere mention of that room, which has a startling similarity to the Black Hole of Calcutta from time to time, now causes an instantaneous drooping of the eyelids. I have cut down smoking, though, by about fifteen cigarettes a day. This benefit is more than offset, however, by the fact that no longer do I hear the latest news dealing with off-hour social activities. I suppose some sacrifice must be made for continuity of sleep. The first time I entered that room for classes I felt like a participant in a mob from the French Revolution. One hundred and fifteen Croughlyj voices wildly relating summer experiences were slightly disconcerting to a person used to classes of twenty doing the same thing. Adaptation did come quickly, and soon I was enjoying the anonymity you find in such places as room 250 and Grand Central Station. My initial contact with college history proved rather interesting. I stood on parade that first morning feeling very complacent. I had heard someone mention the Old Eighteen and the Silver Birches in the course of a conversation the night before. Since the fourth year finger pointed in my direction and since I was the only member of the blank file, all I could do was assume he meant me. I could think of nothing except Keefer, McPherson, and the Silver Birches. So, that's what I told him. The amazed stare I received in return for my effort startled me somewhat. Needless to say, I knew the score the next morning. I learned that it was necessary to know only the first and last two names. By enunciating these clearly, it didn't matter what you said in between, as long as it was said more or less in the manner of a tobacco auctioneer. One of the first things one learns in military college is the fine art of beating the system. There are as many techniques for doing this as there are C.S.C. cadets. In the three previous years I had developed a method which, if it didn't work all the time, still managed to make life less painful. It was a sad day when I realized that my counter-system systemv didfn't work at R.M.C. The switch from a graduating senior to a third year underling had thrown everything out of kilter. Once I realized this daily life began to change for the better, those members of third year who had started out at R.M.C., being horrified at the idea of having a fellow cadet without a personal system, gave invaluable advice. Careful observation of fourth year helped considerably. By Christmas everything ran smoothly once more. I've found that this year adaptation to R.M.C. has been just as important as learning to be a cadet in recruit year. Admittedly, it was a little easier changing step this year than it had been three years ago. I was familiar. when I came to Kingston, with the technique of loking omniscient and rather bored when really wondering what was going on. By following the golden rules of never asking a question, and of never replying to the query, Who can drive a truck? , I soon found myself as much a part of R.M.C. as the Stone Frigate land about as mobilel. l28 R.M.C. Review There still remains one transition to make. That one, which will once again unite me with the baggy suit, might take more adjusting to than any of the others. I suppose l'll make the effort. Life might be interesting under a co-educational system. No. 4028 J. R. MARSHALL SILLY, ISN'T IT? Once upon a time there was a wise man who travelled extensively and who, in his travels, met many interesting people. One day, as he was walking through a.n overgrown field on the outskirts of a city he was visiting, he noticed an interesting ffurry of movement at his feet. Stooping to observe more closely, he saw, in activity, an ant hill, similar to thousands of others in the field around the city. The ants in this particular colony, he noted, had the usual ant-like ideas of organization and were divided into two or three separate groups. Fascinated by the singular behaviour o-f the ants, whom he had never bothered to watch before, our omniscient friend sat down and attempted to communicate with them. This turned out to be a frustrating and useless effort, however, for, although he could understand what they were saying and doing, they made no attempts to interpret his presence in a sensible manner. These efforts at com- munication, however, necessitated his placing himself where the ants, even with their extremely limited perception, could see him. His frequent appearances caused quite a commotion among some of the lesser insects, which was settled quickly by some of the older and wiser ants who blatantly closed their eyes to the traveller and insisted that the younger ants were imagining things. One day the Voyager noticed that the ants were coalescing into two distinct groups. Leaning closer he learned that each side was bent on annihilating the other with all the means at their disposal. The reason for this decision seemed to be the chronic distrust for other ants which was an individual ant characteristic, and had a firm foundation in the ant's behaviour. The wise man had now given up all hope of communicating with the obviously insane ants. He left the spot sadly, pondering on the tragedies brought on by unlimited resources and limited intelligence. By chance, he told some of his friends about the peculiar ant hill, and they went to see it, too. The ants saw these visitors, but refused to accept them for what they were, some of the more experienced ants even insisted that the peculiar manifestations were secret weapons of the other side, and thus spurred their workers on to greater efforts. The wise travellerfs friends watched the ant hill carefully, making no attempts at communication, only making certain that none of the ants strayed from the ill-fated hill to other, better adjusted communities, which would be susceptible to the warlike, depraved nature of the mad ants. These people visited the doomed spot often, observing and then departing visibly shaken and saddened, and also perhaps a little wiser for the experience. One day when they arrived to check on the cancerous ant hill, they found it completely disintegrated, and all the ants were dead. All of which is a fable designed to illustrate the hope that flying saucers do exist. NO. 4461 A. E. LANE 1957 129 FLY IN VODKA ls volunteer for hole in sand, Far south in heat of holy land.

Et nous sommes tous fiers du haut degre de civilisation de Fhemisphere occidental. Il serait peut etre bon, toutefois, de reilechir un moment et de nous demander: ou allons- nous? Nos connaissances techniques s'etendent a un rythme extraordinaire, mais notre niveau culturel sait-il rivaliser avec ces progres materiels? La culture est un perfectionnement de l'homme dans l'ordre naturel. On, l'associe generalement avec les arts, parce que ceux-ci representent cette tendance vers une perfection desinteressee, indispensable a la culture. Mais alors, dira-t-on, aucune crainte pour notre culture! Les artistes contemporains peuvent peindre, sculpter, construire des cathedrales, composer des symphonies ou des poemes aussi bien que leurs predecesseurs du quartozieme ou du dix-neuvieme siecle, Leur veine d'inspiration peut etre differenteg leur art n'en est pas moins excellent. ll suilit de lire une poesie de Claudel, ou de regarder une eglise de Le Corbusier pour s'assurer que le 'sens de la beaute existe encore, et meme a un tres haut degre, chez les hommes du vingtieme siecle. Notre epoque compte de florissantes ecoles d'art, illustrees par d'excellents artistes. Elle possede aussi, developpes a une haute perfection technique, des. moyens de vulgarisation inconnus aux siecles precedents. Les grands centres onli vu at la construction de superbes museesg les chefs-d'oeuvre de la peinture ont ere lithographies, les symphonies enregistrees a des milliers d'exemplaires. Les req productions de ces chefs-d'oeuvre sont a la portee de chacung un amateur de musique pourrait connaitre Beethoven en entier sans avoir jamais vu le bout de Varchet diun violon. Le vingtieme siecle possede des hommes capables de creer de la beauteg il peut repandre cette beaute, y faire participer une proportion imposante de la population du monde occidental. Et pourtant, a ce qu'il semble, notre culture n'a pas atteint le niveau que lui permettent les circonstances actuelles. Cette mediocritef depend de plusieurs facteurs: la situation internationale, le mode de vie , . , La culture exige un desinteressement dont la grande majorite est incapable at cause de la forte competition imposee at l'individu s'il veut survivre. Il lui reste peu d'inclination au developpement de son esprit. De plus, la haute civilisation materielle dont nous jouissons presente un obstacle serieux a llaccroissement de la culture: la facilite de voyager pourrait permettre a plus de petites gens de courir le monde en quete de beauteg en realite, elle produit plutot une dispersion d'interets peu compatible avec la. concentration necessaire at un bon developpe-Q ment du gout esthetique. D'un autre cote, on a deja nomme notre epoque Hle siecle de la peur et de Finquietudew. La menace incessante de guerre et d'armes nucleaires cree un malaise dans l'humanite entiere. Cette oppression contribue pour une grosse part a la dispersion des interets mentionnee auparavant en poussant llindividu a rechercher les plaisirs materiels immediats. De plus, elle pose tellement de nouvelles- questions que llhomme trouve de plus en plus rarement lloccasion de penser objectivement et agrandir son bagage culturel. Jusqu'ici, nous avons pris culture dans le sens de gout esthetique. Mais la culture ne consiste pas seulement en la connaissance et Fappreciation des oeuvres d'art: elle est Gun perfectionnement de llordre naturel. Par sa nature meme: d'etre intelligent, l'homme doit connaitre sa fin s'il veut se rapprocher de la perfection. Wy, W' ' -V 4, ,V , f. .

Les instruments ne manquent pas! 1957 133 A PRGPOS DE CANADIANISME Au cours des quelques dernieres annees, le Canada s'est illustre sur le plan. international en plusieurs occasions et s'est attire ainsi l'estime de nombreux pays. Au siege de l'Organisation des Nations-Unies, a New-York, deux de nos com- patriotes furent les parrains de deux resolutions majeures et qui ne furent pas sans grande repercussion internationale. La premiere resolution presentee par l'honor- able Paul Martin portait sur ce que l'on a convenu d'appeler le package-deal ' pour l'admission de nouveaux membres a l,O.N.U. et la deuxieme resolution, presentee a son tour par l'honorable Lester B. Pearson proposait la creation d'uno force dlurgence de police pour lletablissement d'une treve en Egypte. Mais a l'occasion de Petablissement de cette force policiere, le Canada recut une gifle bien appliquee par le President Nasser. Le president egyprien refusa alors que les Nations-Unies admettent un bataillon d'infanterie du Queen's Own Rifles dans le contingent et les rumeurs voulaient alors que Nasser refuse d'accepter le contingent canadien au complet. Mais la chose la plus penible a constater en cette occasion etait que le Canada comme nation est responsable de ce refus. Les Canadiens manquent de canadian- isme et nous en sommes les victimes. Certes, il n'y a pas lieu de s'estomaquer devant ce refus puisque plusieurs faits concourent at rendre le Canada. inacceptable dans un tel role. De tous les bataillons de lfinfanterie canadienne, le Queen's Own Rifles dont s'etait, parait-il, le tour de servir outre-frontieres, porte le nom le plus inadmissible pour les Egyptiens. Un regiment qui suggere par son nom meme la defense immediate du souverain du pays agresseur n'est pas de nature at executer une mission de paix. De plus les Egyptiens ne sont pas sans savoir que ce regiment a des attaches avec: un regiment anglais du meme nom, ce qui etait sans doute de nature at eveiller Vantagonisme des masses egyptiennes deja enflammees par llesprit nationaliste. L'uniforme que le soldat canadien porte est de plus une exacte copie a quelques exceptions pres Cla qualite du materiel en etant la principalel de l'uni- forme anglais. De plus ce regiment promene une modification peu originale du Union Jack, etendrard du pays belligerant. La conclusion logique, il me semble, dans de telles circonstances, n'est pas de blamer l'Egypte, mais de faire notre propre examen de conscience et de voir si nous ne manquons pas un peu de nationalisme ou, pour etre plus juste, d'un peu de canadianisme. Pourquoi nos regiments ne portent-ils pas des noms plus canadiens que ceux qu'ils possedent actuellement? Peut-etre quiun changement. radical de nom ne serait pas souhaitable actuellement, mais nous pourrions certainement nommer nos nouveaux regiments d'une maniere canadienne. Nous ne manquons certainement pas d,episodes de notre histoire at commemorer. Cette' politique n'a surement pas ete assez observee recemment. Quant at l'uniforme, pourquoi n'aurions-nous pas un programme de longue haleine pour le remplacer? Certes nous possedons au Canada des personnes qui ont suffisamment d'esprir createur pour nous donner un uniforme distinctif. Peut-etre que ces choses assez. banales en elles-meme sufliraient pour enrayer la nostalgie que certains de nos ofliciers ont eprouvee apres la crise de Suez. Et puisque nous sommes sur le sujet de ce qui nous distingue comme Canadiens, la question dlun drapeau national nous vient immediatement a l'esprit. Notre situation internationale est suffisamment favorable pour nous permettrei de posseder un symbole qui exclue toute representation etrangere. Il n'est plus I3-1 R.M.C. Review juste maintenant de retenir a l'ecart la question d'un drapeau canadien sous pretexte d'unite nationale. Si notre pays a atteint une maturite suffisante pour jouer un role majeur dans la resolution de problemes internationaux, il peut certainement resoudre ses propres problemes internes. Esperons que dans un avenir pas trop eloigne toute la population du Canada sera canadienne non seulement de citoyennete mais dlesprit. Et alors nous serons dans une position meilleure encore pour jouer notre role international. --No. 4043 R.

Le commandant, le Brigadier Abel Dearsoul, qui s'illustra plus tard dans la HIC guerre mondiale, au cours de laquelle: il fut porte au commandement supreme des forces des Nations-Unies, n'occupait ce poste que depuis quelques mois. Profondement emu par le dessechement obligatoire auquel etaient soumis les futurs olliciers, il convoqua sans delai ses principaux collaborateurs. Il leur declara que la situation etait ridicule, que cette sobriete forcee etait une anomalie, un vestige de puritanisme ignorant de 1'ere victorienne. Il cita abondamment la Bible et Charles Baudelaire, insista qu'il etait aussi important pour un ugentilhommen d'a.pprendre at boire que d'apprendre a, marcher, bref il convainquit tout le monde d'emblee. CUn temoin de la scene. raconte que le sergent-major pleurait a chaudes larmes a la Hn du discoursj Apres avoir ainsi expose son point de vue, le Brigadier, avec la decision et Fenergie qui le caracteriserent toute sa vie, se hata de regler les details materials- de Faffaire. Un oflicier fut charge de trouver et d'amenager un local, un autre de rediger les reglements qui empecheraient effectivement les abus tout en evitant de soumettre les cadets at une surveillance trop humiliante. Un mois lus tard, c'est-a-dire au retour des Vacances des fetes la nouvelle 9 4'Cantine ouvrait ses portes aux cadets. A partir de ce moment, un changement radical s'opera dans l'attitude de ces derniers. A la place des figures mornes d'antan, on ne vit plus que des physionomies joyeuses et pleines dlentrain. Pour la premiere fois dans l'histoire du College, on put observer un moral reel, et non plus ce moral de commande si demoralisant. Plus besoin desormais de nommer des volontaires pour assister aux joutes locales. La presque totalite des gars, animes d'un feu interieur et dans liespoir d'une celebration genereuse en cas de victoire, allaient encourager les joueurs. D'ailleurs ils nihesitaient plus a inviter leurs amies au College parce qu'ils savaient pouvoir leur ollrir un pousse-cafe sociable, au lieu du detestable coca-cola, 1957 135 Il nly eut jamais d'abus. ll n'etait pas dillicile de contourner le reglement limitant la consommation individuelle hebdomadaire. Mais de severes sanctions menacaient ceux qui ne savaient pas se moderer. En outre, fje devrais dire surtoutl, les cadets s'imposerent mutuellement un code dlhonneur qui, pour la premiere fois, fontionnait a merveille. Le souci de Une pas laisser tomber les gars l'emportait sur les inclinations mauvaises. Une consequence que l'on n'avait pas prevue fut Vamelioration des standards academiques. En effect, un cadet ne montrant pas des resultats satisfaisants se voyait interdire l'entree au Paradis. La menace d'etre empeche d'aller en ville n'avait jamais ete bien eflicace, car llattrait que presentait la ville de Kingston etait a peu pres nul. Mais cette quarantaine sans C2H5OH suffisait a aiguillonner les cadets dans leur zele a Petude. C'est ainsi que le Brigadier Dearsoul, par sa clairvoyance extraordinaire, infusa aux futurs ofliciers les qualites qui leur manquaient: un bon moral, un. sens de llhonneur et un gout pour l'etude. Voila les raisons qui me portent a dire que c'est a Kingston, ou il forma des ofhciers competents et enthousiastes, encore plus que sur les champs de bataille de Russie, que le feld-marechal Dearsoul prepara la grande victoire des Nations-Unies, dans laquelle les troupes canadiennes jouerent un role si important.

Nous, ingenieurs et humanistes de demain devons nous interesser tout particulierement at cette question parce que nous serons les temoins de cette transformation. De la mecanisation actuelle de la. ligne diassemblage on passera. au robot qui se substituera de plus en plus at Vhomme. L7 C6 automationn, mot nouveau dans notre vocabulaire, est ce phenomene redoute et inevitable, que l'on constate deja, par lequel toutes les taches de routine de la plupart des ouviers sont laissees at laimachine. Cette derniere se controlerait par elle-meme ou par une machine-reine appelee robot. Ce change- ment a pour resultat de diminuer de beaucoup l'emploi de personnel ouvrier employe dans les principales usines de production at l'heure actuelle. On se rappelle facilement les problemes qui suivirent la revolution in-i dustrielle et on peut ailirmer sans trop risquer que d'autres aussi difliciles et peut- etre pires, resulteront de ce passage a l'automation. On aurait tort de croire que toutes ces merveilles que l'on attribue au cerveau electronique sont de purs produits de notre imagination. A la fin de liannee 1955 une convention eut lieu a Toronto. Durant une semaine les plus grands specialistes des sciences sociales, economiques et industrielles discuterent pour tacher d'entrevoir les problemes que l' automation apporterait. On a conclu que le plus grand probleme serait celui de Finactivite de la population. La machine ayant supplante l'homme, ce dernier se trouverait sans travail. Tandis que dans un avenir assez lointain ou envisage la semaine de travail de 15 heures, plus pres de nous plusieurs industries devront dans quelques annees la. 1957 l37 porter at 25 et meme at 20 heures de travail par semaine. Toutes les industries devront garder leurs employes. Si la production doit etre ecoulee il faudra des acheteurs et comment avoir des acheteurs si personne ne travaille. Comme on le' voit la seule solution sera de diminuer les heures de travail. Que fera l'homme pendant ces heures de chomage? Saura-t-il les employer de facon a ne pas degenerer? S'il continue diapporter une attitude de plus en plus passive aux sports et aux loisirs auxquels il pourrait participer . . . On, peut craindre beaucoup si l'on regarde cette tendance qu'a l'homme de se relacher. Comme l'exprimait un psychologue allemand present at la convention: Il adviendrait que 982, de la population regarderait la television tandis que les. deux autres prendraient une part active aux programmes. Plusieurs ont tente d'apporter des solutions at ce probleme de la lethargic probable de la masse. Toutes semblent tres difliciles dans leurs applications. On a suggere un retour a Partisanat tel qu'il existait avant la revolution industrielle mais comment esperer ce retour lorsqu'on remarque un desinteressement presque total a l'egard de cette forme- d'art qui pourtant dans l'un ou l'autre de ses. nombreux aspects peut etre a la portee de n,importe qui. On cherchera encore longtemps afin de trouver un loisir qui saura interesser la masse des hommes et' lui evitera ainsi la decheance. Car un peuple qui ne travaille pas se desagrege. Prise dans sa forme parfaite 1' automa,tion', est une utopie. N'allons pas croire que tous seront affectes par liautomation. Les ingenieurs, les savants et les techniciens specialises auront lun role at remplir qui sera diautant plus important que tout la population en dependra directement. Les humanistes et les medecins auront un role aussi important qu'aujourd'hui: celui de travailler pour l'homme. Leurs cas seront plus nombreux et plus complexes. Il incombe at nous chefs de demain de comprendre la profondeur de ce probleme et de 1'etudier a fond pour etre capables un jour de vivre selon notre epoque-celle de liautomation. Alors nous aurons la satisfaction d'avoir accompli notre devoir en ayant compris notre temps.- -No. 4068 J. V. BELANGER 138 R.M.C. Review DISTINGUISHED LECTURERS THE SOVIET UNION'S NEW FACE by PROFESSOR I. A. CORRY Vice-Principal of Queen's University and Head of the Department of Political and Economic Science. IR Winston Churchill said that our wartime ally, the Soviet Union, was a, puzzle wrapped up in an enigma. In the past two or three years, the enigmatic wrappings have been loosened and unwound at some corners of the puzzle. We have peered hopefully, expecting some glimpse of the inner mystery, only to see new swathes of wrapping interposed, making the mystery more impenetrable than ever. What are we to make of a country whose leaders confess voluntarily to deep complicity in the most shocking crimes against their own people and against their neighbours, and yet are able to continue in power and pose before the world as the devoted champions of scrupulous legality, the brotherhood of man, and universal peace? In a sensible world, we would judge these leaders to be humbugs and trans-4 parent frauds, and refuse to trust a sudden transformation of confessed criminals into benevolent world statesmen. Unfortunately, a world which has accumulated the power to blow itself up and has devised no means for controlling the use of that power is not a sensible world. The hydrogen bomb is compelling us to- rethink all our attitudes and all our theories about the relationships between, states. It is an entirely new factor in international relations. Hitherto, the statesa that have started wars have done so on a calculation that war is their tool and ally, through which they can increase their power and strength, or at the very least, escape a far worse fate. Now all states know that thermonuclear war is a common enemy of incalculable menace, in the face of which their mutual antagon- isms become trivial and absurd. We have to search for some modus vivendi? between the great power blocs. We dare not leave any possibility of accommoda- tion unexplored. We cannot overlook even the unlikely possibility that the Kremlin has reformed. We have to reckon that the implications of the hydrogen bomb may be sinking in there too, that Soviet leaders may perhaps have done their rethinkingt faster than we have, and that they may be searching for a live-and-let-live policy.. At the same time, we are the trustees of a way of life which, whatever its shortcomings, does buttress individual dignity and human welfare and does pro- vide the conditions for continuing social experiments which look to further incre- ments of dignity and welfare. As long as we believe this way of life to hold vastly greater promise than the stifling prisons of the Soviet Union and its satellites, we have a duty to avoid miscalculations which would enable Stalin's apprentices to dominate the world. We must therefore be wary. But the agonizing dilemma is that our wariness may lead us to miss the chance of a settlement which would reduce tensions and call off the arms race. If the arms race continues, we shall reach, in ten years or four, the intercontinental ballistic missile which will traverse the oceans in halfi an hour with hydrogen warheads. The only comforting sign I see is that the Soviet Union faces the same problem and must be just as concerned about miscalculations. 1957 139 What ought we to do to avoid either compounding with Mars on the one hand, or letting the Western way of life go by default on the other? The great and immediate difficulty is that we do not know what the Soviet leaders intend. The still greater long-run difficulty is that, even if we accept the bona tides of Bulganin and Krushchev, we cannot know how soon a palace revo- lution will turn them out and present us again with implacably hostile leaders. Moreover, to be nautical, the one-party totalitarian state is a battleship, always stripped for action. Even if the guns are taken off during a peace offensive, it is still a battleship in which armament can be quickly mounted. The democratic ship of state is a merchantman, designed for peaceful purposes, and can only be con- verted to war slowly and laboriously. We don't know what the Soviet leaders intend today and we have no idea what they will intend tomorrow. Our lack of knowledge does not arise from Soviet failure to tell us what they intend. In the past year, the Soviet Union has gone as far as words can go in assuring us of its desire for friendship, universal peace and 'fpeaceful coexistencewq But when the leaders talk to their own people or to the people of Asia, Hpeaceful coexistence? is not presented as a live-and-let-live programme but rather as a design for insuring the eventual collapse of bourgeois capitalist institutions every- where. Before such audiences they urge ceaselessly that these capitalist institutions are not merely moribund but dangerous and hateful. In every country, they stand obstructively in the way of socialist advances in human welfare, and are always being manipulated by warmongers and monopolists who want to destroy such socialist advances as have been made. Whatever they themselves believe, the Soviet leaders are still peddling to the people of the Soviet Union and of Asia the basic Marxist doctrine of the undying enmity between bourgeois and communist ideas and institutions. The only significant changes in the doctrine of class war is the assertion that now it may be possible to win the world for Communism through peaceful coexistence? without war and violent revolution. But can they be trusted to refrain from giving a strong push to a hateful system when they think it is tottering, or when it is not tottering in as reassuring manner as they would like? In trying for an answer to this question, it is well to look at the Report of the Central Committee of the Communist party of the Soviet Union to the 20th Party Congress in February, 1956, as presented by Mr. Krushchev, and at the resolu- tions passed by the Congress which summarize the advice given in the Report. Everything is here, the dying convulsions of capitalism which will provoke more savage crises, American reactionary circles trying to dominate the world through positions of strength and preparation for new bloodbaths, the manful opposition of Communist parties all over the world, the need for unity of the working class and the healing of splits between socialist and communist parties, so they can iight shoulder to shoulder against imperialist oppression. This is our amiable friend, Mr. Krushchev. What conclusion does one draw from this? Are they merely trying to keep their own people submissive to continued austerity? Or do they, like Hitler, really mean what they say at home, while their talk to the West is aimed at undermining popular support for our policy of containment. We don't know: we can only guess. At least, these diatribes bring under suspicion all the fair words directed. at us. If we turn from words to deeds, what clues to their intentions do we find? It is pretty clear that the Soviet Union inspired the armistices in Korea and Indo- China in 1953 and 1954. In 1954, the Soviet Union dropped its territorial claims 140 R.M.C. Review against Turkey. ln l955, it signed the Austrian Peace Treaty which neutralizes Austria and withdrew its troops. Bulganin and Krushchev went to the Soviet 'Canossa' in Belgrade and healed the rift with Tito by confessing that he had been right all along. They surrendered the Porkhala naval base to Finland. They have announced unilateral reductions in their armed forces of about 2 million men although we do not, in fact, know whether they have carried them through. In l956. they abolished the Cominform, the agency for organizing intrigue in other countries. These actions mark a change in policy, but for what purpose? None of these actions has weakened their military position in my significant way unless perhaps the withdrawal of troops from Austria. And this may be bait for the West Germans suggesting that reunification can be had at the price of neutraliza-1 tion, which would make it very easy to communize Germany by internal subversion with the aid of Soviet forces on the frontier. Giving up Porkhala is not significant except as a talking point against the continued maintenance of American bases' on foreign soil. Even if the reduction in armed forces is carried through it does, not necessarily mean more that a recognition that the war of the future will likely' be fought out over Pittsburgh and Stalingrad and not on the Rhine or the Odcr.. The deal with Tito did involve a large concession in prestige and many conse- quences for Soviet relationships with the East European satellites, which will be adverted to later. At the very time these moves were being made and fair assurances being, given us at Geneva, the Soviet Union began to intervene in the Middle East, with the supplying of arms to Egypt, intense diplomatic and anti-western activity in all the Arab capitals, and moral backing for Nasser in his Suez adventure. We cannot complain of this on grounds of principle but it scarcely supports the pro4- testations of an invincible desire for a settlement of outstanding issues. Throughout this period, the Soviet Union has refused to consider any con- cession on a vital issue. It remains intransigent on the reunification of Germany. It has refused to consider any lightening of its control over the satellites, indeed? blandly denies that the satellites are in any way subservient to Moscow. It refuses to accept any workable system of mutual, early warning through combineil aerial reconnaissance and ground inspection. It talks strongly about disarmament and says it will be time enough to talk about Germany when we have put away our weapons. Since there is no sense talking about disarmament except as part of a general settlement, this really means that the Soviet Union is satisfied with the status quo in Germany. In fairness to the Soviet Union, it must be said that the West has not ofierede any quid pro quo for these concessions which, I have just said, the Soviet Union has refused to consider. We are asking reunification of Germany on the basis of free elections, which means a Germany in the Western camp. We are asking the Soviet Union to give up control of the satellites and retire, in effect, to its pre-war frontiers. We are asking for protection against surprise attack by an early warning system carried out mainly by aerial reconnaissance and exchange of blueprints of military installations. This would give us knowledge about Russian military disposition which we cannot otherwise get. Through their espionage systems and the general freedom of movement in the West, they already know almost as much as they could find out by aerial reconnaissance. When these things are done, we say, we will take up questions of disarmament seriously. In short, we ask for a, voluntary shift of the strategic balance in our favour. In fairness to ourselves, the Soviet Union asks us to dismantle American. bases around the world, to dismantle the N.A.T.O. defence system in Europe, and. 1957 141 to disarm. When these things have been done, they say, they will discuss the settlement of outstanding questions. This is the deadlock in which we await the arrival of pushbotton warfare. If we are to get anywhere with control of arma- ments and calling off the arms race, the asking price on both sides will have to come down. But even then, who makes the first weakening concession? How can either side be expected to retreat as long as there is a complete absence of mutual. trust? One of the elements we have to take into account in determining how far we can trust the Soviet Union is internal policy. A regime which concentrates the effort of its people on building up heavy industry and massive military structure at the expense of human welfare must remain suspect. A system of government which maintains an organized terror against its own subjects, stilles free discussion, Whisks individuals off to forced labour camps without open public trial, asserts dogmatic political versions of scientific truth, and insulates its people from know- ledge of the rest of the world shows that it has no respect for individual freedom and dignity at home. It is not likely to have any more respect for dignity and freedom of other peoples outside the Soviet Union. What signs can we see of significant changes in these practices at home? They are considerable and appear to be significant although of course, one has to remember they may be wiped out by decree tomorrow. I A considerable softening of the regime began soon after Stalin's death and has continued since without serious relapse. An amnesty freed everyone serving a sentence of five years or less. Its terms did not cover persons detained in labour camps or elsewhere under administrative order as distinct from judicial sentence. Accordingly, although there have been substantial releases from the forced labour camps, there is no evidence of a wholesale clearing of them. However, it is to be noted that the power to imprison without trial has been abolished and all persons charged with terrorism and sabotage are now to have judicial trials. This is very important, because it is part of wider moves to cut the secret police down to size. They are no longer used, as Stalin used them, to spy on the higher echelons in party and government. They have been brought under the control of the collective leadership and the head of the police is no longer a member of the Presidium Cformerly Politburol of the Communist party. The grossest abuses of the Stalinist police have been checked. There is a great deal of talk about Soviet legality , thus recognizing individual dignity and personal security as values. But there is no evidence at all of the emergence of effective guarantee of these values such as a free Parliament, based on an alert public opinion and free elections, and calling the leaders to account. Immediately after Stalin's death, there was an upsurge of the critical spirit in art and literature, a reaction against the shackles long imposed by the regime on the creative artist. In 1954, the leaders made it clear that the freedom they were permitting was not a freedom to be wrong, and that writers and artists must not indulge in destructive criticism. This had dampened, but not entirely quenched, cultural innovation. It is permissible to argue for greater freedom from strict political control but not to organize or agitate. The attempt to imprison natural science within the canons of Communist dogma has been abandoned for the time being. Lysenko and his Soviet biology are out of favour. It seems to be admitted that the principles of science must develop autonomously and cannot be derived a priori from Communist ideology. The leaders admit also that Soviet scientists are not first in everything, and they are 142 R.M.C. Review all eager to learn what they can from Western science by resuming, wherever possible, contacts with scientists and scientific work in the West. Accordingly, they are promoting with vigour cultural and scientific inter- course with the West in the form of exchanges of journals, magazines, students, professors, delegations of experts, and so on. Agreements with Britain, France, Sweden and Denmark call for wide intercourse, including, in the case of Britain exchange of private letters. It is easier for individuals to go to Russia as tourists, a few more Russian tourists are allowed to go abroad, but the emphasis is still on delegations, both in and out, which are run on ofiicial schedules and so more strictly supervised. Even so, there is only the tiniest trickle either way. Most of the shrill anti-Western abuse has dropped out of the Soviet press, and somewhat fairer reports of Western social conditions and of Western positions on contentious: issues appear occasionally. Foreign visitors are no longer conscious of having M.V.D. men tramping on their heels. They take photographs freely except in specially restricted areas, and find it easier to strike up conversations on the: street. But the tourist is nevertheless kept track of. He cannot consult the telephone. directory at will, but will be given on request the number of the person he asks for. In short, they have abandoned a considerable number of laughable absurdities but are far from allowing genuinely free intercourse. Human welfare has always come pretty low in the scale of values of the Soviet Union. The regime has made great advances towards universal education and has prevented extreme degradation through poverty, but aside from that, has imposed a rigid austerity on the masses. This austerity in personal consumption has enabled them to make their Industrial Revolution in 30 years at a very heavy cost in human welfare. Poor diet, crowded housing, utility clothing, restriction to the barest necessities, have been the common lot. Except for a brief period under Malenkov C1953-51 the Soviet leaders have never faltered in their insistence that heavy industry comes first. In the New Five-Year Plan for 1956-60 that primacy is continued, although with somewhat lessened emphasis. In the current state budget for 1956, defence takes 18.5W of the appropriations against 2079 for 1955. There has been no significant re- duction in the huge expenditures for armies and armaments, which does little to reassure us on the meaning of peaceful coexistence . Welfare still takes second or third place after power and more power. In some economic matters, the regime is stiffening rather than relaxing. It is tightening party control over the collective farms in an effort to raise production, cutting down on the size of private plots and on the numbers of private livestock which the collective farmer is allowed to maintain. Krushchev has been urging, the rapid building of agrocities, concentration of peasants in apartment buildings in towns, instead of the present villages, and doing away with private livestock and private plots entirely. The aim is to turn the peasants entirely into wage workers with no stake in land at all. Many of these measures in the agricultural sector may be desperate efforts to raise agricultural production. The conditions on the agricultural front are too complex to be discussed here. But the fact is that agriculture is the most conspicuous failure of the regime. Since 1914, agricultural production has barely kept pace with the growth of population. There has been a rapid growth of cities with a constant increase in the number of urban mouths to be fed. About 20 million peasants have moved from the country to the towns in the last twenty-five years. Urban population is increasing three times as fast as rural population. These facts show a very serious problem in the making. There is ground for thinking that the most serious differ- 7. 1957 143 ence among the leaders between 1953 and 1956 have been on the question of how to get agricultural production up. Malenkov proposed to shift the emphasis from heavy industry to light industry, increase the quantities of consumer goods available to the peasantry as an incentive. Krushchev soon opposed this because it imperilled the foreign policy of aid to the satellites and to underdeveloped countries, and Malenkov fell. Krushchev has a range of other measures in hand for trying to meet the problem. These measures require additional labour, and the huge Red Army is the only big pool of surplus labour available. This is pro- bably one of the main reasons for announced reductions of 2 million men in the Soviet armed forces. Because, failing solution of the agricultural difficulties, many of their grandiose schemes will be imperilled. This is a summary of the main deeds, as distinct from words, in domestic and foreign policy in the past three years. It is hard to find here any convincing proof that the leaders are genuinely converted to a, live-and-let-live policy vis-a-vis the West. They have not made any really genuine concession in foreign policy. They are still using the Soviet embassies in the West and the native Communist parties of the West for intrigue and espionage. In their domestic policy, the overwhelming emphasis on heavy industry and military might still continues. They are conducting a most intensive campaign in Asia and the Middle East to destroy the influence and power of the West. The most probable explanation of the shift in the last three years is that they have recognized in the growing power of N.A.T.O., in the economic and political revival of Western Europe, and in the increasingly terrifying prospects of nuclear warfare, the clear features of a stalemate in the West, where no more cheap gains can be had. By lauching this great peace offensive, they can reasonably hope to undermine Western power both in Asia and in Europe. By posing as the genera ous friend of Asia and the inveterate enemy of colonialism, they may be able to use Asian and African nationalism to erode most of the American military and air bases, and even deny to Europe the oil of the Middle East. By talking peace endlessly to the West and relaxing tensions everywhere, they can reasonably hope to divide the N.A.T.O. partners and get them quarrelling among themselves. They have succeeded already. They can reasonably hope to get the tax-weary peoples of the West to require their governments to reduce defence expenditures. They can hope to improve the political fortunes of the Western politicians who havci resisted the heavy defence expenditures. Would Aneurin Bevan be Treasurer of the Labour party today if the cold war had continued? By representing themselves as converted from Stalin's wicked ways, they perhaps have some hope of winning the sympathy of left-wing socialists in West- ern Europe who have always been heartsore at the failure of the bright promise- of socialism in U.S.S.R. They are, in fact, courting Social Democrats all overt Europe, urging that the breach in the workers movement should be closed. What a triumph it would be for them to get a popular front government in France which would then insist on the dismantling of N.A.T.O. installations and armies there. The Soviet Union might hope to achieve all these results by the present policy of smiles and soft, reassuring words. I think that is what they are up to. One baffling point arises on this analysis. Why didn't they start it in 1946, or at the latest in 1949? If they are as smart as we think they are, why did they start the cold war at all? Why did they adopt the one policy which ensured West- ern European recovery in a very short time? Perhaps the megalomania of the old dictator blinded him to the obvious. 144 R.M.C. Review At any rate, it is tempting to look to these considerations as the reason for the tearing down of the Stalin idol, and for the humiliating concessions made to Tito. These moves are the really bafiling ones because they involved real risks for the regime in their relationships with the East European satellites. It was Stalin'S policy to fasten the most rigid Soviet control on the satellites. The governments there were Soviet tools. The Soviet Communist Party coordinated the domestic and foreign policies of the satellites with those of the Soviet Union in the interests of the Soviet Union. It is pretty clear that the East European peoples have been exploited mercilessly by the Soviet Union and that resentment over the hardships thus imposed is very great. Tito broke with Stalin because he would not accept such subordination. Bulganin and Krushchev now say that Tito was right, that Stalin was an evil. maniac, and that each country should be allowed to develop Communism in its- own way. They say, not only to Tito but to the peoples of Asia and the Middle East, that one of the first principles of peaceful coexistencev is non interference in the internal affairs of other countries . These concessions are raising tempera- tures dangerously in the satellites. - Every concession to Soviet legality at home brings pressure for greater per- sonal freedom and securtiy in the People's democracies. The more freely Poles and Hungarians are allowed to speak, the more they want to know why freedom to develop according to the national genius has been conceded to Yugoslavia and denied to them. Why has the principle of non-interference no application to Eastern Europe? It is going to be extremely hard to hold firm control of the satellites without a return to Stalinist methods. Why did they take such pains to push Stalin down and to conciliate Tito? It is tempting to think of these moves as a big play for popular sympathy in Asia and the West. At the same time, it is the one aspect of their recent actions which can be urged with some plausibility as evidence that they have reformed and want as settlement. The Yugoslavs urge that this is true. On the other hand, some argue that the Soviet leaders were almost driven into the repudiation of Stalin by domestic considerations. Dictators need popular support and enthusiasm, some spontaneity. Stalin's. terror had frightened everyone. No one was willing to take initiative on anything because it might be marked down against him. How are factory managers to run the factories efficiently if, after the day in the factory, they are interrogated all night by the M.V.D.? Moreover, the Soviet Union has committed itself to an enormous programme which strains its resources: commitments for heavy industry, vast military expenditures including development of new weapons which are monstrously expensive and soon obsolete, substantial increases in consumers goods, vitally needed expansion of agricultural production, assistance to China. and the satellites in their industrial expansion, and very extensive aid to under- developed countries. The Soviet planners are running into many different kinds of shortages, labour certainly being the worst one. They need to increase the efli-- ciency of the labour force. They need new incentives. Dragooning and terror no longer will increase effort. It has become stultifying. A further point is sometimes urged which is very hard to assess. A new middle class of professional, technical and managerial persons has come into existence, and the level of economic achievement depends very heavily on them. Perhaps peasants and manual labourers can be dragooned and harangued into doing a fair day's work. But it must be hard to find a combination of intimidation, inspection, and inquisition which will ensure that a factory manager does a really I957 145 good job of managing a, factory. A lot of experience in the West indicates that the board of directors must provide the manager with security in his job over a period of time, trust him, give him a fairly free hand and protect him from petty inter- ference. Then, if he proves incompetent or untrustworthy after a fair trial, fire him. The Soviet middle class has had higher incomes and more comforts than the workers or peasants, but it has been extremely insecure. There is no doubt that it has been pressing for more security at many points in the social and economic structure. However, these and all other explanations of the fdegrading' of Stalin are speculative. So indeed are all the explanations offered for the new face the Soviet Union has presented to the world in the last three years. I have sketched the lineaments of the new face in some detail, not for the purpose of showing what the leaders are really up to, but rather to enforce my conclusion that we don't lcnow. The Soviet Union remains a puzzle wrapped up in an enigma. As a corrective to my emphasis on detail, I want to suggest some broader considerations in perspective. In dealing with the leaders of the Soviet Union, we are dealing with men whose life-long indocrination and experience has been the ruthless acquisition and use of power. Lenin, rather than Marx, is their ac- knowledged master. They appeal to him for justification of every action, and his message always was: Power first of all . Further, he always insisted that, at every stage of history short of the classless society, all human relationships are determined by the crude exercise of effective power. One's power should always be used to the uttermostg that is man's duty to history. I do not know whether the Soviet leaders believe in the classless society and the final elimination of power from social relationships. I do know that few regimes in history have been so obsessed with power and so determined to apply its maximum power to the changing of social relationships. As I said at the beginning, we must be wary. We must assume for the time being that they will watch for and take advantage of every weakness. At the same time we know that merely to go on matching power with power is futile, and almost certainly fatal. The Soviet leaders know this too, and thus face a dilemma for which their master provides no guide. They certainly do not intend either to start or to provoke a thermonuclear war. The probability is that they hope for one or both of two things. First, they hope to disintegrate the N.A.T.O. alliance and disarm us through the peace offensive. Second, and less optimistically perhaps, they hope to beat us in the arms race to some spectacular new weapon such as the intercontinental ballistic missile and use the threat of it to frighten us into submission. Meanwhile, the West sadly needs a united policy as vigorous and imaginative as the one the Soviet Union is developing. ART MEANS BUSINESS by ALAN JARVIS, Director of the National Gallery, Ottawa N being introduced, I have been described as dedicated to the idea of making Canadian audiences more art conscious , that is perfectly true. I am re- minded of this in the most painful way whenever I am given this kind of lectern. I realize that I can very easily justify the title that a lot of newspapers have given me, and that is 'fthe Billy Graham of Canadian Art . If I don't have you all signing the pledgew by nine o'clock, something has gone wrong. I46 R.M.C. Review l started off on this lecture tour thinking I was being very careful. Most of my lectures are given to Canadian Clubs, particularly women's clubs. Now, they have one great advantage to me over an audience like this, and that is that they wear hats and when I start to talk about 'fmodern art, I can tell at once what percentage of the audience is with me or against me by the way in which the flowers on the hats shake. I started off very rashly telling the Canadian Clubs that I would like to see as a title, Is Art Necessary'? , but I have rapidly found that, having to talk to so many women's clubs, I have had to change it to the more innocuous Art Means Business . I hope, sirs, that I may also use my original title. It is taken from a work that I hope most of you have read by a great American called James Thurber, a book called Is Sex Necessary? . Those of you who have read it land I assume you all havel will remember this immortal opening sentence Sex should be faced fearlessly and frequently. I feel exactly the same way about art! However, having learned my lesson from an audience who did not approve of that title at all, I changed my title to 'SArt Means Businessn, and that is more or less what I am going to talk about tonight. , Art means business in Canada at the moment in a very large-scale way. As you will have seen in the newspapers, the astonishing thing that the Federal govern- ment is debating in the House of Commons at the present time, is a bill to present as a gift to the Canadian people S100,000,000. And, S100,000,000 'fain't hay . That is a remarkable sum of money, 550,000,000 of which is to go to the arts, letters, humanities and 350,000,000 as capital grants to the universities. I have had, or my trustees have had, 551,370,000 to spend on purchases alone, that is only for buying pictures, in the period since the 2nd of May, 1955 when I came back from London. If that doesnit sound an astonishing sum of money, I will make it sound more astonishing in a moment. The Canada Council apart, I can go to the government, as I did last Spring, and say that I want S885,000 with which to buy four pictures, all quite small ones, too, and get it through the House of Commons. There was a certain amount of debate-rightly so. But, in fact, the consensus was overwhelmingly in favour of the National Gallery being given this large sum of money to buy four small Old Master pictures, just as the consensus is currently in the House overwhelmingly in favour of the Canada Council. Twenty years ago, when I left Canada to go to Oxford in 1938, had my predecessor gone to the government and said he wanted anything like S885,000, first of all he would have been carried off to the psychiatrist, but had he been able to per- suade the government that they should spend that amount of money on pictures he would have had to explain to 9975 of the M.P.'s that why these pictures are expensive is that they are all painted by hand! The attitude to the arts generally in Canada has transformed itself completely over the last twenty years in a most gratifying way. It seems to be a very good symbol or symptom that Canada is finally coming of age as a country. We should now regard all of the arts as having a serious role to play in a civilized country. Twenty years ago it was a little bit sissy', if you were interested in buying pictures, if you were interested in writing poetry and that kind of thing, but I believe that is no longer the case. We are becoming a mature nation in which the creative arts are beginning to be taken for granted, they are beginning to be given public support at all levels, including federal. What is most intriguing to me, having been all over Canada, is to find a number of small centres in the prairies, in northern B.C., in the mining towns of northern Ontario. In all sorts of places, the citizenry are forming art associations, building art galleries, planning accom- 1957 I47 modation for the arts, the Little Theatre movement is booming to an extraordinary height. This is all a tremendous cultural change in Canada. We must have a great National Gallery, as we need National Libraries. Are we going to deny the younger generation access to Bach, or Beethoven or Brahms and bring them up on The- Maple Leaf Forever , forieveir? It is obvious that we must, if we are to be a civi- lized nation, have some repository of great works of art of the past and from other countries, which will be the kind of golden rule by which we will judge our own Canadian work, whether as students or artists or as members of the general public. It is not just a matter of keeping up with the Jones's. It is not that Canada says, Washington has a National Gallery, so we must have a National Gallery? It is that we must have these instruments for our own maturing education and, as I began by saying, what a happy situation that the Federal government agrees with this and is prepared to support the National Gallery of Canada to this in- credibly generous degree. The National Gallery of Art in Ottawa gets exactly the same amount of money per annum for purchase as does the Louvre in Paris. We are getting 5,130,000 a year for purchase, that is astonishing. The National Gallery in London, England, at the moment only gets a guarantee from the government of i12,500 which is some 30-o-dd thousand dollars. We get 5Bl30,000. Then, when an oppor-2 tunity like the Liechtenstein purchase of last year comes up we go back and ask' for a supplementary amount of S885,000 and get it in addition. I am one of the most envied gallery directors in the whole world. When I go to conventions in Venice, or Switzerland, or Washington, I am looked upon with tremendous envy. How wonderful that Canada which is so rich is willing to spend some percentage of its national wealth on cultural affairs, they say. They know, of course, that if you go for a walk in Canada you trip over a uranium mine. This, however, is not to suggest that our job is a particularly easy one. It is extremely diflicult and is going to be even more diliicult in future for the trustees of the National Gallery to continue to enlarge a collection that is already a very line one. I can say that we have a great National Gallery and a great col- lection without being coyg in fact, I am simply paying tribute to my two predeces- sors, the late Eric Brown and Dr. Harry McCurry and also to a remarkable woman, Miss Kathleen Fenwick, who is our chief curator of prints and drawings. We have this extremely fine collection, something of which as a nation we can be proud-, and Ottawa is a place of pilgrimage now for fine art scholars from all over the world. But to extend this collection in future is going to be very difiicult. First of all, when you travel in Europe, you will find that in the great National Galleries there-the Louvre, the National Gallery in London, the Prado in Madrid and so on-most of the great works of art in the past are frozen in national collections. They are owned by those nations, and will never change hands. They will never come on the market again. There is a decreasing traffic every day in the market for works of art. Also, you will realize that in the days of the great tycoons in America and here in Canada, the Carnegies, the Fricks, the Mellons and so on, they were draining out of Europe largely to America, but occasionally even to Canada in collections like that of Sir William Van Horne in Montreal. There was a steady flow of great works out of Europe in the first twenty- eight years of this century up to the great depression. Quite suddenly, every single country in Europe woke up to one ghastly fact-that if they didn't stop this flow of works of art out of their country, to put it quite bluntly, they were going to lose a fundamental tourist asset. They had to keep the things at home. 143 R.M.C. Review You will appreciate this if you will remember that William Randolph Hearst, the American publisher, while travelling in Spain saw an enormous and very beautiful Romanesque monastery. He bought it, dismantled it stone by stone, and moved it to southern California. Imagine how the Italians would feel at the prospect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa ending up at the Canadian National Exhibition. Naturally, these European nations have become extremely careful about the exports of works of art. It is almost impossible now to obtain works of superla- tive quality from most European countries, including the United Kingdom, because there are these export laws which forbid even the private sale of a work of art. One concrete example: the London Times last April told the whole story of our recent purchase from the Prince of Liechtenstein. Within forty-eight hours of that leader in the Times being printed, I had an airmail letter from an English Earl, who wrote and said that he knew that death duties in his family would force, sooner or later, the sale of certain pictures and would we be interested in the one which he owned at SS100,000? We wrote at once and said, Indeed we are inter- ested. May I talk to you when I come to London in June?,' By the time I got to' London, the British committee on export had said, No, this picture is so im- portant it must stay in England and it must go to the Naional Gallery in Trafalgar Square. So, the Earl was not allowed to sell that picture by private treaty. It had to stay in England. Even if I had gone over with 161,000,000 I would not have been allowed to buy that picture. And this goes on in every single country in Europe. There are, of course, ways around this. I know some of you have already heard the story about the American tourist, or it might well have been a Canadian tourist, travelling in Italy around about 1931-32, who in Florence found a very handsome Botticelli that he wanted to buy for his private collection. The dealer said that he would never be allowed to take it through the Customs. However, he was an art. dealer and said, Of course, there is a way around this. What you can do is take the Botticelli and on the top of it paint a portrait of Mussolini. You will be able to take that out of the country! When you get back to New York, give this picture to an expert restorer and have him remove the Mussolini portrait and you will have your Botticelli. Well, the man did this, and the restorer in New York began to scrape away, removing the Mussolini portrait, but he wasnlt exactly' satisfied with what he found underneath, so he went on scraping and when he had removed the Botticelli, you know what he found-another portrait of Mussolini. This is a story which I tell not only because it is a good joke, but also to remind one that if works of art are fetching such fantastic prices and are so scarce in the world markets, fakes and forgeries are very prevalent. We have, at the Na- tional Gallery, for the protection of the Canadian taxpayers, whose money we are so lavishly spending, a scientific department, Where, if our curators are in any doubt we can subject any picture to micro-chemical analysis, spectroscopy, infra- red, x-ray, Huoroscopy and so on. In buying pictures one of the things that is absolutely vital is to know the history of the painting that you are buying, and here is where the magic of the word 'fLiechtenstein't that I have used so often already, can be explained. The Prince of Liechtenstein, who is the hereditary ruler now of this Hapsburg family, has inherited the greatest single private family collection in the World, a collection which was begun as early as about 1550 and was first catalogued, I think, as early as 1612. The Prince of Liechtenstein is his only boss, he is the ruling monarch of that eccentric little country. If he wants to sell Canada pictures from his collection, there is no government to stop him. I keep saying that one day, I am sure, we will be putting up a bronze statue on 1957 149 Parliament Hill to my predecessor, Dr. McCurry, who made this contact with Liechtenstein whereby there have come to Canada twelve pictures of superlative quality by artists like Rembrandt, Simone Martini, Chardin, Guardi-because the Prince is allowed to sell them. The other vital thing about this Liechtenstein collection is what we call pedigree in regard to a picture. One of the cleverest ways of faking and forging the Old Masters is to go to a small town in Italy like Orvieto, to one of the local churches and look up the parish records. You will see they are quite well kept, and you find that in 1450 the monks who were operating that church paid an artist, whom we will call Amico di Sandro, so much money to produce an altar piece. The contracts in those days were very specific because lapis-lazuli was very expensive, gold leaf was expensive, and if the church said they wanted so many square inches of the genuine gold leaf the contract was a business deal and it was carefully documented in the records. They find recorded a picture that is very carefully described, but which has disappeared, so they fake a picture that exactly corresponds to contemporary records. You turn up in Ottawa and say, We have found the Amico di Sandro that was painted for a church in Orvieto in 1450, here it is, it matches the description in the church records perfectly, this must be it. Then I say, But where has it been all this time?', Oh, well, we found it in an old barn in Tuscany? That is when you start being very careful. The picture that immediately interests you is the one where you know the pedigree, e.g. two of the pictures that we bought last Spring from the Prince. We know their history from the day they were painted until the day they were put on our walls in Ottawa, because the then Prince of Liechtenstein was the Ambassador of Austria in Paris from 1737 to 1741. In 1739 he bought these pictures from Chardin, took them home with him and they have never been outside that family's hands until they were sold to us and brought to Ottawa. We know, in fact, one of them is on the original wood on which Chardin stretched the canvas. It has not even been lined or restretched, which is remarkable for a picture of that age. So, our contact with Liechtenstein has double value. First of all, we can buy the pictures if the Prince is willing to sell them, they can come to Ottawa, and every picture in the collection is so well documented that it is of impeccable pedigree. Apart from Liechtenstein, it is extremely difficult for us to plan our purchases. We really operate a kind of market-research-in-reverse. We are studying world markets, not in order to find whether we can sell a product, but to find whether we can buy. I get the London Times airmail edition every morning and you can, guess the first thing that I look at when I get it is the obituary column, not that I am hoping Lord So-and-So has departed this life, but if he has, we know that for death duties they will have to sell certain pictures and maybe we can get into the market for them. The National collection also has the largest array of Canadian pictures in existence anywhere. We have the' national collection of art. The National Gallery does try, and has a long standing tradition of trying, to be truly national in a country that is 4000 miles wide, and that is very difficult. It is perfectly simple for someone like Sir Philip Hendy in London to sit in the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square in a minute little island, and say, Well, if the public want to see the nationls pictures, they can get on a train and come up to London and come to Trafalgar Square. I don't think at the present time we could or should take quite: such a view about the national collection in Ottawa. It wouldn't be entirely fair for me to sit there and say, 1'Do you want to see the national collection? Get on a 150 R.M.C. Review train and come to Ottawa -because British Columbia or Nova Scotia is a long way away. So, we have this very old tradition of trying to make the national collections available as widely as possible and we have a huge programme of travelling exhibitions. Last year we circulated 55 different exhibitions to over 120' different places in Canada. We are quite literally taking art to the people because we must not arrogantly assume they can and must come to us. There are, however, severe limitations on how far we can go with the Old Masters pictures, particu- larly anything that is painted on wood and therefore subject to cracking, if it is put into extreme temperatures. We must be very careful and there are certain pictures on what we call a prohibited list. We cannot and will not lend them because they might be damaged either by bumping on and off railway trains or by extremes of temperature and humidity. Anything painted on wood, as you would im- mediately guess, if it is put into a very hot, dry, centrally-heated room, the panel will begin to shrink and the paint will flake off. A work of art is by definition, unique, like the Cranach which we have in fact just lent to the art gallery in Toronto. tlt is a life-size nude of Eve, a very handsome nude lady, that spent her war years in Hermann Goering's hunting lodge. He stole this picture from a Dutch private owner and took it to his hunting lodge. It stayed there during the war, was re- covered afterwards and restored to its rightful owner who sold it to Ottawa.J We made an exception in this instance because Toronto very much wanted to include it in a special exhibition. We had to arrange for a heated truck and a heated railway car. We wrapped it in blankets, so that in the fraction of a second when it was leaving the Gallery to be put into the truck it wouldn't catch a chill. We didnlt want Eve to catch a cold! I am not joking when I say that our pictures require about as much care and feeding throughout the 24 hours as having two or three hundred babies in your charge. Our present building is not air conditioned, so that everything that is painted on a wooden panel and subject to shrinkage is sealed in an air-tight box, with a plate glass front and an aluminum container behind. We seal them in at a fixed humidity of 70Z, and they are virtually in little air-conditioned rooms. Even so, we take the temperature and the humidity every two hours throughout the twenty- four. We must take at least that much care because, as I said, a work of art is by definition, unique. It is not just that if we allow something to be damaged we are damaging something worth S5500,000 of the taxpayer's property, but that we are destroying something that belongs to the entire world. We are destroying a unique object. We are getting together, we hope, a distinguished collection of Old Master pictures to celebrate the opening of our new gallery in 1959. If the Louvre or the- Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam knew that we had let pictures go across the country on freight trains, would they lend us great works of art belonging to their nation? of course not. Every museum in the world-this is an international fraternity now- has this universal respect for works of art and loans are indeed made because we all know, now, that every self-respecting museum in any civilized country will take care of its pictures. When there was the great 350th anniversary exhibition of Rembrandtls work in Amsterdam this last year, 1956, they wrote and asked us if we would lend them the Rembrandt we bought from Liechtenstein, we sent it to Amsterdam, knowing it would be cared for. I hope that when we want: to borrow some great Rembrandts to bring to Canada they will say, Of course, we can trust the Canadians with them. Apart from this small prohibited list of Old Masters we are putting on the road all over Canada dozens of exhibitions, bringing art to the people: exhibitions 1957 l5l of two kinds-Canadian art itself, to show Canadians what is being done in their own country and to bring into Canada great works of the past. In the autumn we are bringing a big collection of 18th century British paintings, some borrowed from the Queen's own collection, to send around eastern Canada-Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. We brought in, last year, the sculpture of Zadekine and Henry Moore from Europe, and from New York, a collection of Picasso's draw- ings. In other words, art of the past of another country or art of another country of the present day, all part of the huge programme about which I will not say more, because it is really rather a technical job. As a modern educational institu- tion, the programme of travelling exhibitions is supported by travelling lecturers, films, film strips, publications, catalogues, lecture notes, colour reproductions, post cards, in fact, the whole paraphernalia of a modern educational institution that is trying to serve as wide as possible a public. All of that goes on from the National Gallery. Very little is either heard about it or talked about. Now, let us cover the Canadian collection briefly. The Canadian collection is the important thing to put forward as a basis for discussion. We are very rich and therefore we are not- only the most generous patron of Canadian painting but we are the most powerful. We can, through our purchase grant, exercise genuinely creative patronage for Canadian artists. When the Liechtenstein purchase of last. year was debated in the House of Commons, there was one moment that did frighten me slightly, and that was when one of the members got up and said, But, surely there is a terribly disproportionate amount of money being spent on European paintings and Old Masters, compared to what the Gallery is spending on Canadian art. What frightened me most was the prospect, or any thought of the prospect, where Parliament would say to us, 'fYou must spend, say, 525,000 out of your grant per year on Canadian art. That would be disastrous! Let me explain why I use that word. This might be what I can only call a f'lean year, when we go around to all the art studios and the exhibitions to see what Canadian pictures we feel are worthy of a place in the national collection--it should be an honour, a mark of distinction that your work has been bought by the National Gallery-but find comparatively few works of art that qualify. Therefore, we may spend comparatively little money this year. But next year we may go around ther studios and exhibitions and find an enormous number of things that we think are first-class and should be bought for the National Gallery. Then I see no reason why we should not spend the whole S130,000 on Canadian art. But, if we go around and we hnd 510,000 worth of Canadian art we think is worth buying, and we have to spend il525,000, what is going to happen? We are going to say, with our tongues in our cheeks, f'Well, I have got to spend this money. That is pretty indifferent stuff that Bill Jones is painting, but let's buy it and put it in the base- ment? And that is not going to help Canadian art at all. Our purchase policy should be based on only one thing-quality. We have superlative quality in our Old Masters, our drawings, our works of the past. We must apply exactly the same- rigid standards to Canadian art, and say, No, we are only going to spend money when we find something we believe to be worthy of a place in the national col- lection. It would be disastrous if we went around handing out money as a kind of benevolent fund. I have said this over and over again in the last two years to audiences of Canadian artists, and, of course, they agree, because if we said, f'Oh, well, we have got to help these Canadians, we are really a kind of benevolent society, we would be treating them contemptuously. It is a further mark of Canadians coming of age that the artists themselves want now to be judged by world standards. They are willing to compete in world markets themselves, to exhibit internationally and to be asked to be judged by world standards and not just Canadian standards. The clearest symbol of how this l52 R.M.C. Review is affecting all the artists in Canada is, of course, the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. They set out to do Shakespeare so well that they deliberately asked the critics to come up from New York or over from the West End of London and judge Stratford by Broadway and West End standards. They set themselves the highest possible target and they hit it. Therefore, the Stratford company was able to go and compete in the Edinburgh Festival as a company standing on its own feet asking to be judged by world standards. This must be the criterion whereby the arts in Canada now and in the future operate, and the Canada Council, when it is set up, will, I hope, use the same kind of criterion. We must apply the most rigorous standards to our own cultural enterprise, whatever it is, in future. Having said all this, it does not necessarily imply that the National Galery, or indeed the Canada Council, has to be stuffy and cagey. I have inherited a most exciting tradition: with the National Gallery of Canada, unlike any other country I know, you don't have to be dead a hundred years before your pictures are bought. Indeed, we are buying paintings by very young Canadian artists, painted literally yesterday, for we believe they are good. I don't know of any other country where this happens. We are a gallery of modern art as much as the national repository of great works of art of the past. This, as I said, gives us the power of being creative patrons, of helping young artists where we believe their work is more promising. This leads to trouble, of course, because when it is announced in the papers that we have on our walls in Ottawa, works by the great 'fmoderns , abstract pictures, or non-objective works Cwhich are very much ci la mode at the momentl, I get piles of letters on my desk, only one of which I will quote because it is brief. It is quite typical. The gentleman who writes, says, Dear Mr. Jarvis: What are you doing, putting trash like that on the walls of the National Gallery? My daughter, aged six, could do better with a rotten orange and a burnt stick. Yours in fury. Last April one member of Parliament got up and said, I could do as well myself , when he looked at some of our modern pictures. When people say that, one day I swear I am going to get fifty little painting kits, and when people say HI could do as well myselfj' I am going to say, Wonderful, go ahead and try and give them a kit. Then, I am going to have a travelling exhibition called They Tried . If I were likely to be got down by people who say, 'CI could do as well myself, or my daughter, aged 3, could, and so on I could cheer myself up by doing only one thing and that is by going back in the files to 1924 and 1925 to find that Eric Brown, the first Director of the National Gallery, was being vilified in the papers, by the public and in Parliament, by people saying, 'GI could do better with a rotten orange. Why? Brown was mad enough, lunatic enough, to buy pictures by the then younger artists whom the newspapers were calling the hot mush school . He did even worse than buy them. Not only did he buy them and put them in the National Gallery of Canada, he sent them to the great Wembley Exhibition in 1924 as representative of Canadian art. This really' caused the good folks back home to blow their tops. Now, what has happened? The hot mush school was the Group of Seven, all of whom have become Canada's Old Masters, thirty years later. I have had toe close a gallery in the present building to make room for new offices and the only gallery I could close was the Group of Seven Gallery, so I get another pile of letters, raking me over the coals because I am denying the Canadian public the chance to see the very hot mush school that got Eric Brown into so much trouble' thirty years ago! This is the oldest story in the history of art. This will always happen. All I can hope is that my trustees and myself will, in 1957, and in the future buy with half as much foresight as Eric Brown when he was buying the Group of Seven, in the face of all this public outcry and criticism. I hope that the people we are 1957 E53 supporting will be the Canadian Old Masters in thirty years, just as the Group of Seven have become in the past thirty. This is our pledge and our duty, and it is very exciting for me to have inherited a great collection, to have inherited a great tradition of being creative, adventurous and full of high spirits, in terms of purchase policy and the powers that the National Gallery can use to foster Canadian art. I am not going to define the whole business of modern art. I will only tell you one more true story and that is, when I arrived back in May 1955 there was an exhibition hanging in the Gallery of contemporary Canadian painting and, as you might expect, a very large percentage of it was non-objective and abstract. As I was going out to lunch one day, standing in the Gallery there were three' little boys, I suppose they were 12 or 13, wearing blue jeans and white T shirts. Just as I walked past them I heard one little boy say to the others, 'Tve got to get out of here before I go nuts. I told this story one night at dinner in St. Catharines, and my hostess said, Surely you know the other story about those same three little boys at an exhibition of modern art and one little boy said to the others, 'Letis get out of here before they blame it on uS.! ' I stoutly maintain that we are a mature country now, and to anyone who goes around saying that Canada is a young country, I am tempted to say, Well, what about Israel? It is only a few years old, and what about the Gold Coast? It isn't even a country yet and won't be until March 6th. We have a cultural tradition which goes a very long way back, at least 300 rich years and it is a double cultural tradition-both French and English. There is much that we have behind us to build on and we now have a Canadian culture, something the Canadian public ought to be taking seriously. It is interesting that I can get together a conference of Canadian university professors and find they all, as a result of that conference, went back to their schools and their Boards of Governors to say that every Canadian university should have at least one trained art historian on the staff. f I hope that will be true one day at R.M.C.J Then, you have the undergraduates of the University of Montreal and McGill, only two weeks ago organizing, of their own volition, an excellent exhibition which was put on in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, a collection of thirty-five painters of today. The same thing is hap- pening in British Columbia in the universities, the whole ferment of taking the arts seriously in Canada is with us now. Finally, when I go to face audiences of businessmen, on the topic of Art Means Businessl' I put forward one argument to the captains of industry: the extrapolating of the curves in the Gordon Report of the economic future of Canada, plus all the evidence we have at our disposal, suggest that we are going to be working 30, 31 or 33 hours a week in twenty years? time. That means that we are going to have a nation with an appalling burden of leisure on its hands. Either we are going to take the arts seriously, for example in regard to the operating of institutions like the National Gallery, for the psychological health of the nation, or we can spend an equivalent amount on psychiatrists. I seriously believe that to be true. We have an enormous challenge on our door-step now which will be of the utmost importance to our generation. If we are going to go on being prosperous, if we are going to go on having increased leisure, then creative leisure in the role of the writer, the play producer, the creative Little Theatre, the art galleries, painting as a pastime, music-making for its own pleasure, reading for real enjoyment become very important. All of these' things that might, a generation ago, have been regarded as the frills, as the icing on top of a realistic life that we as pioneers had to face, are no longer frills on top, but an integral part of the present and the future pattern of culture in Canada. In that sense, art most certainly means business. Milne Smdfi-os Ltd No. 2034 GROUP CAPTAIN P. Y. DAVOUD, D.s.o., 0.B.E., D.F.C. President of the R.M.C.

LANCASTER It will be seen from the list that no less than twelve members of the Class of 1906 were present-the largest attendance of one class and the largest total attendance since the Old Brigadev was organized. The excellent turnout of the 1906 class was due to the untiring eiforts of No. 727, Brigadier Donnie White, who started work on it last March. It is hoped that the Class of 1907 which will join the 4'Old Brigade this year will equal or surpass the mark set by the 1906 class. We sincerely regret the death of Lt.-Col. Gerald Hanson who was one of our most enthusiastic members. No. 487 Lt.-Col. J. F. McParland BIRTHS BOLT-OH April 17th, 1955, at Hamilton, Ont., to No. 3198, Lieutenant QED G. M.

BISHOP, v.C., D.s.o., D.F.c., E.D., LL.D 1 i No. 943, AIR MARSHAL WILLIAM AVERY BISHOP, V.C., C.B., D.S.O., D.F.C., E.D., LL.D. Air Marshal Bishop died on September llth, 1956, at the age of 62, at Palm Beach, Florida. His remains were brought from Florida by the R.C.A.F. to Toronto where his funeral service was held with full Air Force Honours. 166 R.M.C. Review The body was later cremated and the ashes interred in the family plot in Green- wood Cemetery in Owen Sound, Ont., on September 26th. Billy Bishop, as he was generally called, was born in Owen Sound, Ont., on February 18th, 1894. He was educated at the Royal Military College of Canada in which he enrolled in 1911. After leaving the R.M.C. in September, 1914, he was commissioned with the Canadian Mounted Rifles and went overseas with the 7th C.M.R.'s. While in France in 1915 he applied for transfer to the Royal Flying Corps in August and was returned to England for training. Strangely enough he was refused permission to qualify as a pilot on the ground that his nerves were not good enough, but by the end of his training he was the best aerial shot on the station. He was eventually allowed to qualify as a pilot. He was promoted to Captain in April, 1917, to Major in August, 1917, and to Lieutenant-Colonel in August, 1918. Between April and August, 1917, he had won the M.C., the D.S.O. twice, and the V.C. The exploit for which he was decorated with the V.C. is indicative of his bravery, determination, and skill. On August 10th, the then Captain Bishop, who had been sent out to work independently, flew first of all to an enemy aerodrome, finding no machine about, he flew on to another aerodrome about three miles southeast, which was at least 12 miles the other side of the line. Seven machines, some with their engines running, were on the ground. He attacked these from about 50 feet, and a mechanic, who was starting one of the engines, was seen to fall. One of the machines got off the ground, but at a height of 60 feet Captain Bishop fired 15 rounds into it at very close range, and it crashed to the ground. A second machine got off the ground, into which he fired 30 rounds at 150 yards range, and it fell into a tree. Two more machines then rose from the aerodrome. One of these he engaged at the height of 1,000 feet, emptying the rest of his drum of ammunition. This machine crashed 300 yards from the aerodrome, after which Captain Bishop emptied a whole drum into the fourth machine, and then flew back to his station. Four hostile scouts were about 1,000 feet above him for about a mile of his journey, but they would not attack. His machine was very badly shot about by machine- gun fire from the ground. He won a bar to his D.S.O. in August, 1917, and the D.F.C. in July, 1918. The air battle which won him his D.F.C. is recorded in the London Gazette of August 3rd, 1918. For the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross now conferred upon him he has rendered signally valuable services in personally destroying 25 enemy machines in 12 days. Five of these he destroyed on the last day of his service at the Front. The total number of machines destroyed by this distinguished officer is 72 and his value as a moral factor in the Royal Air Force cannot be overestimated? His great bravery and the inspiration which his example gave to allied air- men earned him the Legion of Honour C1918J, the Croix de Guerre with Palm 619185, Special medal of the Aero Club of America, the Special Medallion of the Imperial Air Fleet Committee of Great Britain, and the Gold Medal of the Aero Club of France. In the fall of 1917, he returned to Canada on leave and was married on October 17th to Miss Margaret Eaton Burdon, daughter of Mr. C. E. Burdon and a niece of Sir John Eaton. They had a son and a daughter. After the war he toured most of the principal cities in the United States and lectured on aerial warfare. He then decided to return to England where he was concerned with various business interests, chiefly connected with flying. ln 1929 he became Chairman of British Air Lines. 1957 167 He returned to Canada and became Vice-President of the McColl Frontenac Oil Company. In January, 1936, he received: the signal honour of being appointed the first Canadian Air Vice Marshal. Shortly after the outbreak of war in 1939, he was promoted to the rank of Air Marshal and he served during the war as Director of the Royal Canadian Air Force. He had much to do with the Empire air training scheme. He was decorated with the C.B. in 1947, for his great services in the Second World War. A Memorial Service was held for Air Marshal Bishop in St. Paul's, Portman Square, London, England, on September 19th, which was attended by a large gathering of representatives of various Air and Veterans assiciations as a signal tribute to the high regard in which he was held in the United Kingdom. Billy Bishop will be remembered not only as the greatest Canadian war ace with a record of having shot down, single handed, seventy-two German planes, but chiefiy as a man of boundless courage, who went into combat again and again with nerves unshaken by remembered dangers, as if he sought to test the limits of human endurance in the face of enemy fire. His name is now added to the legend of R.M.C. sons who gave great honour and glory to Canada and to the Commonwealth. No. 956, LIEUTENANT-COLONEL CECIL RANDoLPH S1RCoM, M.C.

TAYLOR, Esq., T.D., M.A., Assistant to Director of Studies SANDHURST today means The Royal Military Academy Sandhurstn and the absence of a. comma after Academy is a reminder that the present estabf lishment is the result of the post-war amalgamation of The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich C'The Shopni and The Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Although some arrangements had been made in 1721, five years after the formation of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, for teaching mathematics to Cadets. the date of foundation of The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, is usually taken from the Royal Warrant of 30th April, 1741, which accepted a representation from the Master-General of the Ordnance that it would conduce to the good of our Service if an academy or school were in- stituted, endowed and supported for instructing the raw and inexperienced people belonging to the Military Branch of the Ordnance Office in the several parts of mathematics necessary to qualify them for the service of the Artillery and the business o-f the Engineers . . . The original home of the Academy was in Woolwich Warren in the Royal Arsenal, which may explain its nickname of The Shop . In 1808 new buildings were opened on Woolwich Common and these buildings with some additions remained in use until 1939. For nearly 200 years The Shop was the training establishment for the majority of Ofiicers commissioned into the Royal Artillery, the Royal Engineers and Cafter 19201 the Royal Signals. In the early days, the life of the Gentleman Cadet was wild and his studies spasmodic. Lieutenant Colonel James Pattison, appointed Lieutenant-Governor in 1764, organised a proper course of studies but he could not banish the evils of drunkenness, bullying and idleness. For the next hundred years life there was no worse, and not much better, than at the average school of the day. Punishments were harsh and there were few facilities for games or for what we now call extramural activities. However, in the 1850s and 1860s the tide turned. Captain F. W. Eardley-Wilmot, R.A., who was largely responsible for introducing sports and games into the curriculum of British schools, gave the Silver Bugle to be awarded to the best athlete of thc year-it is still competed for here. As a result of his inspiration the first R.M.A. Sports fincidentally the first recognised Athletics Meeting ever held in Englandj took place in 1849, and the Woolwich-Sandhurst annual sporting fixtures were begun. starting with cricket in 1865. The numbers of Gentlemen Cadets at the Academy were gradually increased from 40 in 1744 Caged between 30 and 12 or under!J to 90 in 1793 and 180 in 1803. Thereafter the numbers fluctuated, normally between 200 and 250. The average age of Gentlemen Cadets up to 1855 was about 15 to 18, thereafter 1715 to 191Q or 20. From 1798 to 1810 the Academy provided Officers for the East India Companyis Service as well as for the British Army. No account of the Academy, however brief, would be complete without mention of the Staff. The Military Staff, headed by a long line of distinguished Governors and Commandants, bore a very high reputation. The Educational Staff, many of whom remained at the 'fShop for 30 years or more, included some of the finest mathematicians and scientists of the day, in their ranks, at one time there were three Fellows of the Royal Society on the Mathematics Staff, and 1957 171 Michael Faraday, whose research in electro-magnetism have given him worldd wide fame, was on the Chemistry Staff for 29 years. One of his original electro-- magnets is preserved on view in our Library today. The buildings of the R.M.A., Woolwich, still stand as a memorial to an establishment nearly 200 years old. No ex-Gentleman Cadet can pass them without recalling many memories of the people and events of his time and memories of the traditions of the Shop , those traditions that helped to instil the very highest corporate spirit in all who entered its gates. The Royal Military College was founded by the Duke of York fthen Com- mander-in-Chiefj in 1799 at High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, for the education of 26 young Ofiicers of the Army. It owed its existence to Colonel, later Major- General, Gaspard le Marchant, the first Lieutenant-Governor of the College, at soldier of great energy and foresight, and an established writer on many military subjects. After much opposition, he at last won official recognition for his proposal to start a Military College. He was killed at Salamanca in 1812, leading the, decisive charge of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade. The first Chief Instructor, then called the Commandant, was a French. fimigra, General Francois Jarry, a soldier of fortune who had been on Frederick the Great's Staff, Commandant of the Berlin Military College, and a Marechal de Camp in the French Army. In 1801 Colonel le Marchant obtained authority to enlarge the College and to divide it into two Departments, a Senior for Officers and a Junior for Officer Cadets. The Senior Department moved from High Wycome to Farnham in 1813, then to Sandhurst, and finally became the present Staff College in 1857, moving into a new building a mile away near the main entrance grate from the London Road. The Junior Department started life in a requisitioned house at Great Marlow in 1802 where it remained, gradually expanding, till 1812, when it moved to the present Old Building at Sandhurst, From this date onwards, f'Sandhurst , with few interruptions, trained future Regular Officers for the Calvary, Infantry and Indian Army and later for the Royal Tank Regiment and the Royal Army Service Corps. As at the Shop , the life of the Gentleman Cadet in the early days was 21 hard one. Sandhurst had its ups and downs and its fortunes-with the fortunes ofi the Army as a whole-varied in proportion to the dangers to which Great Britain was exposed. The establishment of over 400 Officer Cadets in 1817 was reduced. to 180 by 1832, at which figure it remained until the 50's, when the strength increased to 250. In 1858 the age of Officer Cadets, previously 13-17, the same as at a public school, was raised to 16-20. In 1871 the purchase of Commissions was abolished. From then on the vast majority of Regular Officers passed through the College. For a few years Sandhurst was closed to Officer Cadets and courses were run for young officers, but thereafter the College entered an unbroken period of development, the number of officer Cadets gradually rising to the pre-war figure of six to seven hundred. Proposals to amalgamate the two establishments had been made as long ago as 1875 and at intervals since then. Both were proud of their separate identities and traditions but in 1938 the decision was made to amalgamate in 1940. The district of Woolwich had ceased to be a suitable training ground owing to the ever-increasing expansion of South East London. The Shop,' buildings required 2 R.M.C. Review Upper left: Old Building. Upper right: New Building. Lower: View of R.M.A. S-andhurst. 1957 173 extensive modernization and amalgamation would effect a saving in overhead costs. The main reason, however, for amalgamation came from the vital importance of the co-operation of all arms in modern warfare, a co-operation which should be made easier by Regular Officers having a common basic training at a common alma mater. The outbreak of war prevented amalgamation in 1940, both R.M.A. and R.M.C. were Closed on Mobilisationv, as the Army noted, and candidates for Emergency Commissions were trained at Officer Cadet Training Units. One O.C.T.U., and for a time another one as well, occupied the Sandhurst premises. In July 1946 a planning staff assembled at Sandhurst, and on 3rd January, 1947. the first intake entered the new Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. This union, of the ancient establishments was symbolised by the adoption of Red, Blue and Yellow as the new colours chosen from the Red and White of Sandhurst and the Black, Blue and Yellow of The Shop. Since 1947 all Cadets have been styled Officer Cadetslf and not Gentlemen Cadets as hitherto. .Unlike their predecessors, whose parents paid for the privilege of their education by the Army, the present Officer Cadets are 'fpersons subject to Military Law , having enlisted on a Regular Engagement and receiving Other Rank rates of pay at no charge to their parents. Today the Officer Cadets are drawn from a wider cross-section of the population and many come from schools which before the war never produced any candidates. Although Wellington, Eton, Marlborough, Sherborne, Cheltenhm, Winchester and Haileybury have, between them, produced 1,150 of the 5,700 Cadets who have entered since 1946, alto- gether 954 different schools have produced one Cadet or more. New intakes join in January and September of each year and consist of School Entrants fthe majorityb, Army Entrants and Overseas Cadets. '4School Entrants have taken the Civil Service Commissioners' Entrance Examination, have passed the Regular Commissions Board and arrive straight from school. School Entrants include the output from Welbeck College, the school established by the Army for boys from 16-18 years of age who are candidates for one of the technical Arms of the Service. Army Entrants are those who have already started their National Service, have passed the R.C.B. but have not taken the C.S.C. Entrance Examination. The courses taken by these two varieties of entrant: differ in the first term, as will be mentioned later. Overseas Cadets at the present number 104, of whom 83 come from Com- monwealth countries C43 Malayan, 16 West African and Gold Coast, 10 Central African Federation, 7 Maltese, 4 Ceylonese and 3 Pakistanij. They follow normal courses of training and study except that some have to do f'Special English instead of another foreign language. Except for the Maltese, the West African and the Gold Coast Cadets, they do not compete in the Order of Merit but are given Equivalent Gradingsf' according to their performance. Overseas Cadets are distributed among the twelve Companies and take a normal part in the life of the Academy. The Officer Cadets join one of the three Colleges-Old, New and Victory- each commanded by a Lieutenant-Colonel and divided into four companies named: Blenheim, Dettingen, Waterloo and Inkerman, Marne, Ypres, Somme and Gazag Alamein, Normandy, Rhine and Burma. Each company contains a proportion of each intake, consists of three platoons, and is commanded by a Major with his three Company Officers, one Senior Under Officer, four Junior Under Officers and three Cadet Sergeants. To each company five or six Academic members of the R.M.C. Review l Upper left: The Royal Military Memorial Chapel. Upper right and Lower: Cadets parading before Old Building. 1957 l75 Staff are aliiliatedz they act as educational advisers to the Cadets, and they share in all company activities and in the running of the company games. The company is the real focus of the Officer Cadet's loyalty. During the year various competitions, including the Company Drill Competition, Seniors' Shooting, Intermediates' Obstacle Race and Juniors' Steeplechase, decide which company is to be The Sovereign's Company, and at the end of the Summer Term at the Banner Parade, the Colour presented by H.M. King George V to be borne in parade by the Champion Company, is handed over to the new Sovereign's Company and is then trooped. The Sovereign's Company has the privilege of marching onto parade last, taking the right of the line, and marching off first. Its members are distinq guished by their lanyards of Red, Blue and Yellow. The 'fchartern from the Army Council gives the mission of The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in these words: The object of all training at The Royal. Military Academy Sandhurst is to produce a young Ollicer with a sound education in appropriate Academic and Military subjects, with a wide interest in the current problems of world affairs and the enthusiasm' to continue to increase his knowledge by his own initiative. He will be firmly grounded in the British Army OfTicer's traditional code of behaviour, responsibility and reliability, and his powers of leadership will have been developed. He will then have been brought to the stage in Military and Academic subjects where, with the addition of Special-to-Arm training, he is fit to command a platoon or equivalent sub-unit. A balance has therefore to be struck between the professional requirements of an ofIicer's career and the requirements of general education and citizenship. The course at Sandhurst lasts two years and is spread over six terms with a IO-day camp coming at the end of the summer term. Approximately 53? of the Cadets' instructional time is spent on military work, indoor and outside, and 47? on academic studies. The A.ssistant Commandant, Brigadier D. S. Gordon, C.B.E., D.S.O., is responsible to the Commandant, Major-General R. W. Urquhart, D.S.O., for all military instruction. Detailed responsibility rests with the G.S.O. 1, except for leadership instruction, for which College Commanders are directly responsible. Emphasis is placed on the study of military leadership, morale and discipline. Instruction in Organisation and Staff Duties, Map Reading, Tactics, Administra- tion and Military Law, is given by Company Ofhcers but Drill and Weapon Training, Signal Communications and Vehicle servicing and Physical Training is taught by Specialist Wings under Chief Instructors. tThe Adjutant, who is always an oflicer of the Brigade of Guards, is C.I. of the Drill and Weapon Train- ing Wing.J Military History is taught by olficers under the direction of the Reader in Military History, an academic member of the Staff. The Staff includes Inter-Service representatives from the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, an Australian Army Gfficer and a French Army Lieutenant Colonel.. For academic studies the Director of Studies, Mr. T. S. J. Anderson, C.B.E., T.D., M.A., is directly responsible to the Commandant and he co-ordinates the work of the four Departments of Mathematics, Science, Modern Subjects and Languages, each Department consisting of a Head, a Principal Lecturer and about sixteen Senior Lecturers. tSince postings for the Military Instructors rarely exceed ZW years' duration, the academic members of the Staff, being permanent, provide an essential continuity. Almost all of them have had active war service and the younger and more recently joined have, of course, done their two years' '76 R.M.C. Review National Service either before or since taking their degrees.J Alternative courses of study are arranged so that Ofiicer Cadets can obtain the qualifications required by different Arms of the Service and can specialise, particularly in their second year. in the subjects in which they are interested or have shown ability. In the First Term, School Entrants spend only 2524, of their time on academic studies as they have to do their basic military training, but Army', Entrants. who have not reached the educational standard required for entry into the Academy. spend 75 W of their time working for a qualifying examination which they must pass at the end of the term. In the Second and Third Term an Officer Cadet follows either the Science Course or the Main Course which consists of Mathematics, Science Can elementary treatment of the structure of matter, radio-- activity, energy and electricityb, Language CFrench, German or Russianl, and Modern Subjects CGovernmentJ. After the Third Term examinations a Cadet in the Main Course then goes to his Second Year, either to the Modern Course or to the Language Course or to the General Course, in each of which there are three subjects to study. In each course every Cadet takes Modern Subjects Ca. study of the Commonwealthb. In the Modern Course he also takes an Additional Modern Subject Ce.g., some aspect of Economics, Geography, History or Litera- ture! and a Language. In the Language Course the Cadet works for the Army lnterpretership Examination, and he may take a second language. In the General: Course he may do a combination of Mathematics and Science, Mathematics and a Language, or Science and a Language as well as his obligatory Modern Subjects. The Science Course, which covers the whole of the six terms, is designed as a preparation for subsequent studies either at The Royal Military College of Science for London University degrees in Science and Engineering, at Cambridge University for the Mechanical Sciences Tripos, or at the Engineering Colleges as arranged by different Arms. The course is divided into two groups: those Officer Cadets who prepare and take the advanced level of the General Certificate of Education in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Physics, and those who, having passed their advanced levels in the G.C.E., follow a syllabus drawn up with regard to their subsequent post-Sandhurst engineering courses. In addition to Mathematics and Science, all Officer Cadets on the Science Course study Modern Subjects. Thus, while the military training is common to all Ofiicer Cadets, each in- dividual follows an academic course of his choice, provided that the selection made is appropriate both to his ability and to the requirement of the Arm in which he wishes to be commissioned. An Officer Cadet in making his Choice of Arm is required to give three main choices in order of preference. Whether or not he gets his first choice depends partly on the needs of the Army Ce.g., the Infantry vacancies are always 'fover-subscribed J, partly on whether he has obtained the necessary academic qualification for his particular choice and partly on the Final Order of Merit. The Order of Merit is made up of three elements to which equal weight is given, examination results in military subjects, examination results in academic subjects and the estimation of officer qualities. The 'fStanine Cnine pointj system is used for grading both examination results and Officer Quality assessment. In estimating the Officer Cadetls ofiicer qualities, careful consideration is given to the opinions of all members of the Staff who have contact with him in his Com- pany and his College life, in his military and academic work and in his 'fextra-v muralw activities and games. 1957 I77 Among the Prizes awarded at the end of the final term, the most note-worthy are the Sword of Honour which is awarded to the Ofiicer Cadet considered by the Commandant to be the most outstanding of the Intake, and the Oueen's Medal which is won by the Oflicer Cadet passing out first in the Order of Merit. These two prizes are presented to the winners by the inspecting officer at the end of the Sovereign's Parade. Twice since the war an Ofiicer Cadet has gained both awards. A Cadet's life is not confined to his military and academic work. He has ample scope for playing the games of his choice and learning to play and referee some with which he has not hitherto been familiar. The main Academy representa- tive matches are those against the R.A.F. College, Cranwell, and from now on against Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, as Dartmouth in its new organisation takes Cadets of the same ages as those of Sandhurst and Cranwell. Besides the ordinary games there are voluntary clubs for a large number of sports such as Gliding, Judo, Sailing, Beagles, the Drag Hunt and Mountaineering and Pot-holing, and of course for Music, Dramatics, Debating and other 'fextra-mural activities. During. the leaves-18 days at Christmas, 18 at Easter and about five weeks in the summer-many Cadets take the opportunity of going abroad. Some go with Academy Rugby Football or Hockey Teams which play matches with British Army units in Germany and, in the case of hockey, with the Netherlands Koningklijke Militaire Academie at Breda. Others go in skiing expeditions or- ganised by the Academy or simply 'funder their own steam . Once a year the Western European Military Cadets' Athletic Meeting CWEMCAMJ takes place-- a match between teams from the French, Belgian and Netherlands Military Academies and Sandhurst, and probably in future the Portuguese. This summer the meeting was held at Sandhurst and in the forenoon General Gruenther took the salute at an Academy Parade. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is justly proud of its grounds. Early in the 19th century, when they were largely a treeless barren waste, they were laid out and planted with trees and shrubs of all kinds and, thanks to the devoted services of subsequent generations, the grounds are a thing of beauty remembered long afterwards by all who have lived in Sandhurst. The lake, which now adds much to the beauty of the place, was originally a small mill-pond in the Wish Stream, which still meanders through the grounds marking the boundary between Berkshire and Surrey. The mill-pond was enlarged by French prisoners-of-war during the Napoleonic Wars, the task being completed by local Militia battalions, apparently in order to keep them out of mischief. Later generations saw other prisoners of the First and Second Wars levelling the playing fields and building some of the new huts. The grounds have three main entrances: the Staff College Gate with its Lodge ioriginally a Guard Housej, leading to Camberley, the Yorktown Gate with its Lodge built in 1831 to guard the College against a cholera epidemic, and the Sandhurst Gate and Lodge fformerly called Forest Lodge because the area behind the Old Building was once part of Windsor Forestl. The Old Building, late Georgian in style, designed by James Wyatt and com- pleted in 1812, has considerable architectural merit. The Grand Entrance with its tall Doric columns is the gateway through which so many have marched to the air of Auld Lang Sync on completion of their time as Officer Cadets. The Building, apart from the erection of the accommodation blocks behind it in the 6O's, remained unaltered for close on a hundred years, having no bath-rooms and practically no recreational facilities. When the decision to modernise it was taken 178 R.M.C. Review in 1907, it was also agreed that a completely new block, the 'New Building', should be built. The foundations of the New Building were laid in 1908 and occupied by Gentlemen Cadets in 1911. The Old Building was re-occupied in its modernised form fthe dining hall was one of the additionsb between 1912 and 1914. a hundred years after the first opening. At the present time, Headquarters, The Royal Military Academy, is housed in the block at the East End, the original Hospital , while the West End, known as Le Marchant House, built for General. Le Marchant but never occupied by him, is the quarter of the Assistant Com- mandant. The remainder of the building, with the exception of the Indian Army Memorial Room, Roman Catholic Chapel and Information Room, is now used by Old College. Government House, a fine Georgian building, ,now the Commandant's resi- dence, in the 18th century was the Manor House of the Lady Griselda Tekel's estate. It was sold to her uncle, William Pitt the Younger, who in turn sold it to the War Department when the land was purchased in 1801. The first Chapel was inside the Old Building, in what is now the Indian Army Memorial Room and was consecrated in 1813. This chapel soon proved to be too small for the needs of the College and a new Chapel was eventually built behind Old Building in the square and was dedicated with the name of Christ Church in 1879. The Chapel was copied from a church in Florence and shortly after completion a scheme of decoration used in Sienna Cathedral was adapted to the size and shape of the building. The first Memorial Fund was launched in 1883 with the aim of inscribing the names of fallen officers on the walls. The cha.pel soon became too small-both for the congregation and for wall space for inscriptions--and in 1917 a plan was adopted for building the extension right through the long North and South walls of the Old Chapel. This change of axis involved huge pillars which became the site for the Regimental Panels for the First World War. The new East End was completed in 1921 and was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The raising of money for the West End was a long and arduous task and it was not completed until 1937. Practically all the money for the extension was provided from Regimental and private subscriptions. The 1939-45 Memorial to the British Army consists of the oak pews in the nave, each one being a gift of the Corps or Regiment whose crest it bears. The Indian Army Memorial is focussed in the magnificent organ, recently installed, with the Indian Army shrine beneath. The Chapel is not only the Chapel for R.M.A. Sandhurst and the Staff College- but it is The Royal Military Memorial Chapel and it now holds the Roll of Honour recording the names of 19,781 Officers of the Armies of the Common- wealth who gave their lives between 1939 and 1946. At a most impressive and moving Service on 23rd October last year, the Roll was dedicated by the Chaplain-5 General to the Forces in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and other members of the Royal Family. Every Sunday morning a page of the Roll is turned over by a Senior Under Officer. The Roman Catholic Chapel was constructed after the war out of a large lecture hall in the Old Building, some of the work being done by German prisoner- of-war labour. It was formally opened and consecrated by Cardinal Griffin, Cardinal-Archbishop of Westminister, in December 1948. The Central Library, built in 1863 as the first major addition to the original Old Building, was used as a gymnasium until 1919. It was not until 1931, after 1957 I79 being reconditioned, that it became the R.M.C. Library and later contained also the R.M.C. Museum. Now the building houses the main Library collection and includes the old Woolwich and Sandhurst libraries. In addition, the Central Library contains much of historic interest in the way of pictures, objets afar! and military relics. and: also a large number of historical records, photograph albums and manuscripts relating to the early days of both the Shop and the R.M.C.. The Central Library provides lending and reference facilities to serve the require- ments of the curriculum and also recreational reading. It has, in particular, an extensive collection of books on Military History in general, Regimental and Corps History and Leadership. The Museum itself is in the Old Building and contains a magnificent collection of uniforms, silver and: relics of the Cavalry Regiments and of the Irish Regiments disbanded in 1922. When India obtained her independence in August 1947, the long and close connection between the British and Indian Armies was severed-a connection which had continued since the early days of the East India Company. British Officers, many of them, former Cadets of the R.M.A., Woolwich and the R.M.C.. Sandhurst, raised and commanded many Indian Units. In almost every war in which the British Empire has been involved, Indian troops under their British Officers and N.C.O.'s fought side by side with British Units. In order to keep alive the memory of the liason between the two Armies and to provide a lasting record of the Indian Army, the Indian Army Room was established. In this great room, which was originally the R.M.C. Chapel, trophies and regimental silver' make a most impressive display for the visitor coming in through the Grand. Entrance. On the square in front of the Old Building, the Academy Parades take place. Twice a year the Sovereign's Parade provides a brilliant spectacle. The Inspecting Officer is the Sovereign or another member of the Royal Family or a distinguished officer nominated by the Sovereign. Among the large assembly of distinguished guests, parents and spectators are members of the Cabinet and of the Army Council, Commonwealth and Foreign Military representatives and many Senior Ofiicers of all three Services. At the end, after the presentations of the Sword of Honour and the Queen's Medal, the Senior Division turn inwards and, six abreast, move off in slow time up the steps and through the Grand Entrance, headed by the Colours and followed, at an interval, by the Adjutant on his grey horse. The great doors close and another Senior Division pass out to receive their commissions. They go to join a vast company of their predecessors, among whom are famous soldiers and statesmen. In every war and campaign in the 19th and 20th centuries former Gentlemen Cadets of Woolwich and Sandhurst have held high command. In the Second World War, at one and the same time, the Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, the Viceroy and Governor-General of India, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the Supreme Allied Commander, Mediterranean. the Commander-in-Chief, India, and the Commander-in-Chief, Middle East, were all products of R.M.A. Woolwich and R.M.C. Sandhurst. S 40 5 '?. K Q1 N D J fi-Q J' H O 130 R.M.C. Review L'ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE par Le COLONEL PIERRE PAMART, Ancien Commandant en second de l'Ecole Polytechnique 11954-19561. U coeur du Ouartier Latin, pres du Pantheon et de l,Eglise Saint-Etienne du. Mont, s'elevent des batiments dont certains datent du Ier Empire alors que les plus recents ont ere renoves depuis 1948. Aux jours de fete, leurs portes laissent passage a de jeunes gens portant l'uniforme noir at boutons d'or, coiffes d'un bicorne de forme desuete et 1'epee au c6te. Ainsi se presente aux yeux du profane l'Ecole Polytechnique, vieille de plus de cent soixante ans, et dont le renom a depasse les frontieres de la France. Qu'est-ce que l'Ecole Polytechnique? Ouelle est son histoire, Oil en est-elle aujourd'hui? Telles sont les questions auxquelles l'etude qui va suivre s,efforcera de repondre. ' C'est aux heures sombres de la Revolution Francaise que la Convention, par decret du 21 Ventose, An II C17 mars 17941 crea l,Ecole Centrale des Travaux Publics. Elle prend peu apres le nom d'Ecole Polytechnique. La France est exsangue. Ses finances at bout, les cadres de l'ancien regime decimes par la revolution ou Pemigration, ses frontieres pressees de toutes parts, elle doit vaincre ou perir. Les hommes responsables de son destin comprennent que, parmi les problemes qu'il faut en un meme temps resoudre, l'un des plus urgents, par liiniiuence qu'il exercera sur liavenir, est la formation de cadres civils et militaires dont le premier devoir sera la defense de la Nation. A ce probleme, l,Ecole Polytechnique concue par LAGRANGE et Gaspard. MONGE apporte une solution. Elle est initialement destinee at fournir des ingenieurs des Ponts et Chaussees et des ofiiciers du Genie. D'abord externes au Palais Bourbon, les eleves, dont Page varie de quatorze at vingt ans, sont heberges dans des familles de bons patriotes qui doivent se comporter en uperes sensiblesv. Le Premier Consul lui donne sa charte par decret du 25 Frimaire An VIII C 17 decembre 17995-La mission de 1'Ecole est de repandre les sciences mathematiques, physiques et chimiques et les arts graphiques, et particulierement: a former des eleves pour les ecoles d'application des services publics at caractere technique: artillerie de terre et de marine, genie militaire, ponts et chaussees, constructions navales civiles et militaires, mines et ingenieurs geographes. Dans l'esprit de Bonaparte, il n'est d'organisation que militaire, l'Ecole prend en 1804 le regime qu'elle a conserve jusqu'a nos jours, at l'exception de la periode de la Restauration et des annes dioccupation de 1940 at 1944. Dans Paris la place est rare. Aussi fait-on appel pour loger provisoirement l,Ecole aux batiments qui entourent la Sorbonne et que les Colleges de BON- COURT et de NAVARRE avaient edifies entre le XVeme et le XVIIIeme siecle pour le logement de leurs eleves celibataires. Les eleves sont dotes dlun uniforme, groupes en compagnies, encadres par des ofiiciers et soumis a la discipline. Le jeune ARAGO, premier sergent des eleves Cciest at dire premier de sa promotionj O, recoit au Champ de Mars le drapeau de l7Ecole lors de la distribution des Aigles. Celui-ci porte la divise Pour la Patrie, les Sciences et la Gloirew. 1957 181 L'Ecole a quelque peine a accepter le regime imperial. Mais elle ne marchandc pas sa collaboration a la defense de la Patrie. En 1814, alors que l'ennemi est aux portes de Paris, elle constitue trois compagnies d'artillerie dont les tirs sont meurtriers. L'Ecole Polytechnique est la seule ecole militaire francaise qui porte sur son drapeau le nom diune bataille Defense de Paris 18148. La Restauration de 1815 modifie temporairement le regime de l'Ecole que sa participation aux derniers sursauts de l'Empire a rendu suspecte au pouvoir royal. Aussi l'Ecole est-elle licenciee, puis retablie sous le regime demilitarise au plus grand dommage de la discipline. Ce n'est quiapres quelques annees qu'elle est de nouveau soumise au regime militaire. L'Ecole participe a la revolution de 1830. Les eleves adherent avec enthousiasme at un liberalisme seduisant pour des gargons de vingt ans. Ils encadrent les insurges, et llun dieux, VANEAU, est mortellement blesse sur une barricade. Lorsque Louis Philippe demande aux eleves de designer pour une recompense les plus braves d'entre eux, il recoit la reponse que tous sont egaler- ment meritants et que- ce serait une injustice de n'en distinguer que quelques uns. Par contre, la revolution de 1848 trouve l'Ecole plus reservee. Democratique par son esprit et son recrutement, elle accepte mal de participer a l'une desi premieres manifestations de la 'clutte des classes? Cependant, l'aventure de la Ileme Republique tourne bientot court, et, malgre les avances napoleonniennes, l'Ecole Polytechnique accueille avec froideur le Second Empire. Ses eleves servent: avec patriotisme mais ne se croient pas obliges de manifester au regime une approbation courtisane. Les epreuves de la guerre de 1870 les verront faire tout leur devoir pour la defense de leur patrie menacee. 7 L'histoire du relevement francais depuis 1871 se confond avec celle de l'Ecole Polytechnique.

Depuis la lin de la guerre, le renom de l'Ecole s'est maintenu, et il n'est guere d'activite fondamentale en France ou ne se retrouvent nombreux et en bonne place, les noms de 'cchers camaradesw. Il convient maintenant de preciser ce qulest l'Ecole de 1957. Le decret du 27 janvier 1957 enonce ainsi sa mission: '4L'Ecole Polytechnique est destinee a donner at ses eleves une haute culture scientifique et a former des hommes aptes a devenir, apres specialisation, des cadres superieurs de la nation et plus particulierement des Corps de l'Etat civils et militaires et des services. publicsf' Acquisition d'une culture scientiiique elevee, formation de caractere, ces termes s'inscrivent entre l'aboutissement d'etudes generales d'un niveau deja superieur, et Venseignement specialise des ecoles d'application. Les eleves sont recrutes par concours. Titulaires du baccalaureat complet, ils se preparent a l'admission par deux ou trois ans d'etudes mathematiques et scientiliques dans les Lycees. Leur recrutement s'effectue dans toutes les classes de la societeg au concours de 1956, 1221 des eleves sont fils d'ouvrier. Pendant les deux annees d'Ecole, les eleves sont soumis at une formation militaire et sportive destinee at developper leurs qualites de Chef et a un enseigne- ment general et scientifique comprenant les connaissances scientiflques necesq saires a leur specialisation ulterieure. L'Ecole est commandee par un Oilicier general issu de ses elevesg celui-ci est assiste diun colonel commandant en second, auquel est adjoint un oflicier superieur directeur de l'instruction militaire. Les eleves sont casernes par groupes de huit ou dix dans des locaux recents, ou sont juxtaposes chambre commune, salle d'etude et bloc hygiene. Les compagnies Cdeux par promotionl, sont encadrees par des capitaines et des lieutenants d'arti1lerie, du genie, des transmis- sions, de l'arme blindee et de l'armee de l'air. Un petit etat major groupe les sous- ofliciers et le personnel necessaire au fonctionnement de l'Ecole. Liinstruction militaire vise a preparer les eleves a leur role de Chef de section avant leur arrivee dans les ecoles d'armes. Dispensee par les Officiers et les sous- lhciers de l'Ecole, elle comprend des exercices d'ordre serre, des tirs, des seances dlarmement, d'artillerie, de genie, de transmissions, de topographie, de mines et d'explosifs, d'entretien et de conduite auto.

La mission de l'Ecole exige de dire quelques mots des ecoles d,application. La formation polytechnicienne ne se concoit en effet que dans la measure oil est assuree la specialisation prevue aux termes du decret de 1957. A leur sortie de l'Ecole, les eleves destines aux corps civils de l'Etat ac- complissent leur annee de service militaire actif, partie dans une ecole diapplication militaire: Artillerie, Artillerie Anti-Aerienne, Genie, Transmissions, Arme Blindee et Cavalerie, Ecoles de l'Armee de l'air ou de liarmee de mer, partie dans une? formation. Ils acquierent ensuite leur formation d'ingenieur dans une des ecoles suivantes: Mines, Ponts et Chaussees, Manufactures de l'Etat, Institut de la Statistique, Telecommunications, Eaux et Forets, Institut Geographique etc . . . Les eleves qui ont choisi un corps d'ingenieurs militaires suivent les cours dlecoles telles que: Constructions et Armes Navales, Fabrications d'Armement, Poudres, Ecole Superieure d'Aeronautique, etc . . . -Quelques uns s'orienten't vers les ingenieurs hydrographes, les Commissariats de la Marine ou de l'Air. La plupart des grands corps de l'Etat destinent depuis peu quelques uns dc leurs ingenieurs-eleves aux recherches atomiques et nucleaires. Les eleves qui font carriere dans l'Armee passent un an dans L'Ecole diApplication militaire correspondante. Afin de leur donner l'opportunite diune formation technique superieure, un decret recent Cjuillet 19563 prevoit qu'i1s: pourront, au cours de leurs six premieres annees de service actif, suivre pendant deux ans des cours dans une ecole superieure technique, un centre, une universite ou un laboratoire. ll est prevu que les officiers de l'armee de terre, pourront se diriger vers les branches suivantes: mines, metallurgie, ponts et chaussees, aero- nautique, telecommunications, electricite et electronique, armement, poudres, sciences geographiques, moteurs, petrole, chimie ou electrochimie, electrotechnique, 1957 l8'7 statistique et etudes economiques, optique, constructions mecaniques, psychologie appliquee, recherches nucleaires et atomiques, balistique et aerodynamique. laboratoires de physique et de chimie, stages dans des universites etrangeres.

The Academy was in fact one of the first Army institutions to be established-based on the share this country received from the division of staff and assets of the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. When the idea of establishing the P.M.A. was mooted, one of our officers, connected with this subject, was rather sceptical and expressed his doubts about our ability to run such an institution so early in our life. The Commander-in-Chief of the Army said at the occasion of the Passing Out Parade in February, 1951: Some three years back when the old Indian Army was being partitioned, the question ofpartitioning the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun, naturally arose. One of our officers connected with this affair doubted whether we could run an institution like this, and in any case, we have no place to put it in. My answer was that we must have a place of our own, and if we have no place to take it to. let us put it under tents or even trees. And so it happened. The Pakistan Military Academy made its very modest be- ginning in November, 1947, not in tents and not under trees but in the wartime hutted accommodation which had been the Royal Indian Army Service Corps Training School at Kakul near Abbottabad in West Pakistan. Kakul was selected as the site for the P.M.A., not because it was the only place where the Academy could be accommodated, but because of its situation and healthy climate. It is located about four miles north east of Abbottabad cantonment, connected by a singularly straight stretch of road with a small village tucked away in the hills beyond. The village, the name of which has now become synonymous with that of the Pakistan Military Academy, is Kakul. Kakul is 4,684 feet above sea level. It contains 3,102 acres of land, and the inhabitants chiefly belong to the '4Jadun Mansura' Clan of a Pathan tribe. To the east, Kakul is hemmed in by the Thandiani range, which rises to a height of 8,800 feet, remains snowclad from November to March and causes a cold wave in Abbottabad and district. In summer Kakul is picturesque and its climate is health-promoting. Kakul is only two and a half hours' run by car from Rawalpindi, the Headquarters of the Pakistan Army. In winter snow adds to its beauty con- siderably, and often a number of people come from the plains to see the snows. This year we have had four snowfalls so far. The P.M.A. was established with two companies named Khalid and Tariq after two Muslim Generals of the early days of Islam. These companies were' raised on 28 January, 1948, mainly from those cadets who arrived from the Indian Military Academy of Dehradun. But by August, 1949, the Academy was made up to its present composition of four companies. The other two companies were similarly named after two Muslim Generals, Qasim and Salahuddin. The Cadet Companies were formed into The lst Pakistan Battalion CQuaid-1 i-Azam's Ownli' after our leader and the founder of the nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, had agreed to honour the battalion and become its Colonel-in-Chief.

Since the establishment of the Academy, considerable improvement has been brought about in the accommodation for the cadets and the staff. Although most of the accommodation is still hutted, there are some permanent buildings. The Science Department has a double storied building which is very impressive and houses most of the department. We have constructed permanent accommoda- tion for one company of the cadets, in addition, the library, canteen, cadets' cafe and most of their clubs are in well-kept, permanent buildings. We are now working on a master plan for rebuilding the entire Academy on its present site on the most modern lines. Let us hope in some years' time we will be able to boast of 1 beautiful Academy, vying with the other sister Academies of the Commonwealth countries. The course at the Academy is of two and a half years' duration, and in- cidentally, this has also undergone evolution. The old Pre-Cadet School at Quetta. was recently integrated with the P.M.A., and as a result of this, the course at this institution had to be increased from two years, as in the past, to two and a half years. The cadets' training is organised in live terms viz: first, second, third, fourth and fifth terms. Each term is of approximately twenty-two weeks' duration with a month break between terms and one week break at mid-term at about the eleventh week of the training term. The cadets do mainly academic studies during the first term and are gradually inducted into military training when they pass into the second term. The tempo of military training increases as the cadets progress in their course. By the fourth term they are capable of leading a platoon, and in the fifth term, they are given slightly higher training in the handling of men and sub-units. All training is carried out in English. As already mentioned, stress is laid more on academic training in the early stages of a cadet's course and on military training as he progresses. But the training is based mainly on the development of officer-like qualities, e.g., leadership, initiative, sound knowledge, common sense, social outlook and character. To develop the above qualities, different stages of training have been evolved, and each cadet is watched for particular qualities. The cadets are encouraged. to take part in one or more extracurricular and club activities. Sports are played regularly four days a week and all of the cadets play all the games they will be expected to play with their men in their units. The cadets play many organised games and take part in athletics. The games for which facilities are provided at the Academy are: boxing, cricket, tennis, squash, hockey, football, basketball and swimming. They are also encouraged to organise and run their own clubs and take up certain hobbies which appeal to them. The following are the cadet clubs and hobbies in which they participate: Camera Club, Cinema Club, Dancing Club. Drama Club, Debating Society, Rifle Club, Scientific Club, Wireless Club, Hiking and Mountaineering Club and Shikar and Nature Study Club. The P.M.A. maintains a. close link with certain Commonwealth Academies through the cadets' extracurricular activities. The Rifle Club has a standing com- mitment of .22 rifle matches once a year against the R.M.A. Sandhurst and R.M.C. Duntroon. In the Lafferty Cup competitions, we have not fared badly, and we hope to improve upon our present position in future competitions. 192 R.M.C. Review ln addition to the cadets' clubs, each cadet company has its own mess which is run and administered entirely by the cadets, assisted by the Catering Staff. Once a term each cadet company holds its mess function to which members of the staff are invited. The main function is to teach the cadets what mess life is, as opposed to their normal life in their homes which is totally different. The P.M.A. has sixty horses for use by the cadets. In fact, in the current term, equitation has become part of the cadets' training syllabus, and we hope it will develop enough horse sensel' among our budding horsemen. But in addition to training in equitation, the cadets are given ample opportunity to go riding in their spare time. This latter arrangement often results in too many volunteer riders and too few chargers. In the Academy each term, we have two main competitions, besides a number of smaller ones, for which the cadet companies compete against each other. The main competitions are for the Quaid-i-Azam's Banner and the C-in-C's Trophy. The company winning the former is declared the Champion Company and the Banner is presented to it ceremoniously at the next Passing Out Parade. The company winning the C-in-Cls Trophy is the best at sports. The Academy has its own journal, The Rising Crescent, mainly reflecting cadets' activities. The magazine is published once a year in December and is exchanged on a reciprocal basis with all the Commonwealth Academies and with Academies of other friendly countries. Since the adoption of the constitution in March, 1956, the country has two official languages, namely, Urdu and Bengali. Incidentally, we are not the only Commonwealth country with two national languages, Canada, like us, is also bilingual. The Rising Crescent which used to be publshed in English in the past, will henceforth have three sections: one in English and one each in Urdu and Bengali. The above is a very brief account of the history and development of the P.M.A. We hope the reader will get an idea of the aims and ideals for which this Academy has been established. The aim of this Academy, like that of similar institutions in other countries, is to produce young oflicers of the desired standard, both in character and professional ability to serve in the army of their country. 1957 193 A VISIT TO A RUSSIAN MILITARY COLLEGE by No. 2488, LT-cor. R. C. D. STEWART, R.c.A. N December 1954, while Military Attache to the U.S.S.R., I was invited to visit a Soviet Cadet School, a type of school which is the closest Russian equivalent to R.M.C. This visit, by my British colleague and myself, was one of the first by Western oilicers to any soviet military establishment in the post-war era, and so the Russian staff and cadets on the one hand and we two visitors on the other, confronted each other with a good deal of curiosity. It was an interesting chance to compare cadet life in Russia with that at the College. The U.S.S.R. has separate military colleges for each branch of its army: this one is for graduating cadets as subalterns in field artillery. It is situated in .1 block of old grey-stone barracks not far from the centre of Leningrad and bears the title of f'The Leningrad CRed Octoberj Artillery Cadet School . Here the commandant, a major-general, received us courteously and spent some time cxplaining the history and general role of his school. We learned that though the present school was founded in 1918, it perpetuates the old Tsarist Cadet School which had occupied the same buildings since 1807. The commandant was himself commissioned in the Imperial Russian Artillery in 1915 and showed pride in the traditions of the school and the fact that the cadet battalion had taken part as a body in the October Revolution of 1917 and in the Defence of Leningrad: in 1942. The strength of the school is about 400, and cadets are selected from a large number of applicants throughout the Soviet Union. A yearly entrance examination with stress on mathematics is held at the school for applicants who- have successfully passed out of secondary school and are thus about 17 years old. They then appear for interview before a board of oflicers headed by the com- mandant. Competition for vacancies is keen, we are told, and the board is able to be quite selective. The course is of three years duration. Generally, the first year is devoted to training as a gunner, the second year as an artillery sergeant, the final year as an artillery subaltern. The year is divided into winter training at the college from October to April, and summer training from May to August, when the whole college moves under canvas in a training area some distance from Leningrad. Here manoeuvres and firing practices are carried out, often in coniunction with similar colleges of the infantry and armoured corps. During September the cadets go on leave. The Cadet Battalion is divided into batteries, troops, and platoons with an average of 22 cadets in each platoon, which is reckoned the most convenient size for a class of instruction. The senior cadet in each platoon is appointed Platoon Commander, for the year. Each troop is made up of a first-year platoon, a second-year platoon, and a third-year platoon. Most of these details of organization seem quite similar to our own arrange- ments for C.O.T.C. summer training. The instructional staff is headed by the Chief Instructor Ccolonell, who is also Deputy Commandant. Under him there is a senior instructor Clieutenant colonelb for each subject and some assistant instructors Cmaiorsl. Language instructors were women civilians as was the librarian. Separate from the instruc- tional staff there are regimental officers: battery commanders Clieutenant colonell, 194 R.M.C. Review troop commanders Cmajorl, platoon commanders Ccaptain or lieutenantj, who are responsible for their cadets at all times except during classes of instruction and including the command and control of all practical exercises, private study, recreation. The Chief Instructor took us on a thorough tour of the college, visiting classes of instruction in progress. We visited a lecture on the counter-offensive in the Ukraine in World War 2 and were told that this subject, Hthe history of war and military science is covered from 1812 to 1945. We saw a first-year platoon doing map-reading and use of the compass, and then briefly visited a lecture on the Workers' role in the October Revolution and were told this subject- the history of the Communist Party -is an important part of the syllabus. It was interesting to see a class of third-year cadets doing a tactical exercise on a cloth model where cadets were called upon in turn to give verbal operation orders. The model was well constructed, the instruction well organized, and the cadets gave their orders smartly. Another class visited was busy with mutual instruction on the 85 mm. Held gun, and several other classes were seen being instructed in Motor Transport, Ammunition, Signals, and Small Arms. We spent a little time on two miniature ranges where third-year cadets were engaging targets by indirect fire on landscape miniature ranges. The overall conduct of the range work and the methods of engaging targets seemed quite similar to our own and was interesting to see. Then, among other classes, we visited a class learning German and we were told that cadets take either German or English, whichever they had taken at secondary school. The Library was seen to be large and well stocked with military and political books and pamphlets, but apparently nothing of wider scope. We were told that cadets were issued practically no books or papers but could draw them from the library and were expected to do a lot of private study. In the gymnasium we watched a platoon doing P.T. and exercises on the apparatus with considerable skill and precision. The standard of exercises carried out and the physique of the cadets was notably good. Throughout this tour of instructional classes, the instructors seemed keen. and efficient and certainly their methods of instruction and their training equip- ment were well organized and well devised. After this we looked at the cadets' accommodation and recreational facilities. The living quarters were large, bare barrack rooms with rows of cots, all very rugged and simple, but neat and orderly. Each barrack room had a recreation room, a miniature range, and a 'cquiet room adjoining for private study. The mess room was large with tables seating four cadets, food was plain but plentiful and served by civilian waitresses. The college has a large auditorium with a stage. Apparently it is used for lectures, meetings, ceremonies, and also for concerts, and plays which are organized by the cadets as well as being put on by visiting artists. Cadets hold regular dances here. Football, volleyball, hockey, boxing, are all encouraged and the college is proud of its standing in the Leningrad garrison. We learned that cadets draw very little pay but as all their needs are supplied, it is purely pocket money and is mainly spent at Leningrad restaurants and for ballet and opera tickets. We completed our tour of the college in time for lunch at the fashionable Russian hour of 3 p.m. with the Commandant and his staff. It was an elaborate meal which lasted for over two hours and in the usual style of Russian hospitality 1957 195 included a great assortment of vodka, Georgian wines, Crimean champagne, and Armenian cognac. The Russian officers were most affable but insistent hosts, for wining and dining is a thing Russians enjoy in no half-hearted way. A visit of foreign officers was evidently an occasion for them to make the most of, and the hospitality was almost overwhelming. In summing up my impression of this Russian equivalent of R.M.C. it must be said that the college appeared to be very efficiently run, and the pride the Commandant and staff took in it justified. The cadets themselves are smart, alert, very fit physically, and strictly disciplined. The stiff, attentive bearing of all cadets, with their close-cropped hair and inscrutable faces, the shouted greetings between instructor and cadets at the beginning of classes, and the confident, brisk way the cadets gave out orders and answered questions in class all gave an impressive air of determined, and, I believe unrehearsed, efficiency. The cadets are confineds to barracks throughout the week, their hours are long, and much private study is expected, they have no luxuries and few distractions. They exemplify the strength of the essentially peasant composition of the Soviet Army in their hardiness, hard work, and unimaginative earnestness. The curriculum of the Leningrad College is in striking contrast to the balanced, liberal and scientific curriculum at our Kingston counterpart. The Soviet syllabus seems appallingly limited and narrow for a three-year course, essentially restricted to skill-at-arms and to thorough indoctrination in Communist dogma. It all seems to be inflexible, stereotyped, instruction by rote, and perhaps makes more understandable the common criticism of the Soviet Army for a certain lack of initiative, imagination, and independence of thought, at least at junior levels of command. However, for all that, one would expect the ex-cadet to be a competent and useful subaltern, for his training evidently does lit him to be completely know- ledgeable in the duties of everyone under his command including specialists. He should, too, have some working knowledge of the other arms at his own level. In addition, by virtue of the evident stress on mutual instruction in his training, he will be trained as an instructor to pass on his knowledge to the large intake of raw conscripts he will be faced with within his unit each year. In fact, perhaps, on graduation he more nearly approximates a good N.C.O. Instructor in our own Army than a junior subaltern. Only subsequently in his career will he broaden his military education by attending appropriate courses. This glimpse of cadet life in the Soviet Union held no surprises. It is a rigor- ous apprenticeship stripped of all non-essentials. That the future generation of Russian Army officers is cast in this mould is not surprising in a nation where restrictions regimentation, hardiness, and dogged thoroughness are the general pattern. 196 R.M.C.

Some of thc books were signed by Lt-General E. V. O. Hewett, the Hrst Commandant at R.M.C. The books and prizes will be placed in the College Library. He reviewed the building programme now planned for the Co-llege. Scarlet has been introduced for the cadet uniform, and 50W of the cadets are now equipped. Seventy-five per cent wil be equipped before Christmas. The College takes into the third year graduates of C.M.R., and Royal Roads, which means that the third class is the largest.

PRESIDENTS REPORT The President, Lt-Col. deL. H. M. Panet, reported on the activities of the Club for the past year, as follows: GENTLEMEN: It is indeed a great pleasure for me to submit on behalf of your General Council and Executive Committee a report of the activities of the Royal Military College Club of Canada for the past year. My report will be brief. You received a bulletin in January and again in the Notice of the Annual Meeting in August in which I have given some infolrmation regarding the activities of the College and the Club during 1955-56. I would like to take this opportunity of conveying my thanks, and I know yours. to the Commandant, No. 2140 Air Commodore D. A. R. Bradshaw. D.F.C., C.D.. A.D.C., for permitting us to hold our Executive meetings. the Annual Meeting and l98 R.M.C. Review Annual Dinner at the College. I would also express on your behalf our appreciation to the President and members of the Kingston Branch for looking after the arrange- ments for the Annual Dinner, accommodation and entertainment. l should like on your behalf to thank particularly the retiring members of the General Council and the Executive Committee for their excellent services rendered by them during their term of office. I wish to thank our Secretary, Mr. R. D. Williams for his excellent and untiring efforts throughout the past year. The General Council has met twice since the last Annual Meeting and the Executive Committee once. For some time past discussions have been held between the Officers of the Club and the Officers of the Royal Roads Ex-Cadet Club with a view to having the Ex-Cadeti of the Royal Naval College of Canada, the Royal Canadian Naval College and the R.C.N.!R.C.A.F. Services College, join the R.M.C. Club as Associate Members. I have received a letter under date of August 23, 1956, from the President of the Royal Roads Ex-Cadet Club making application on behalf of these Ex-Cadets for enrollment as Associate Members of the R.M.C. Club of Canada. This matter will be submitted to you for your consideration later at this meeting. Advisory Board The Canadian Services Colleges Advisory Board met at Royal Roads last February. The Club was represented at this meeting by No. 1230 Colonel S. H. Dobell, D.S-.O. and No. 1855 Brigadier Ian S. Johnston, C.B.E., D.S.O., E.D., Q.C. Eightieth Anniversary of R.M.C. This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the opening of the Royal Military College and the eighth anniversary of its reopening as a Tri-Service College in 1948. The death of No. 13 Major-General A. B. Perry, C.M.G., on February 14 of this year, the only surviving member of the Old Eighteen , severs the last link of the College today with the time of its foundation in 1876. Collvege Activities 1956 College activities have already been reported in the last issue of the Review, but I would like to mention the following items of interest. The introduction last year of the pillbox and scarlet tunic as the Ceremonial Dress, of the Canadian Services Colleges cadets marks the Hrst time since the Graduation Ball of 1939 that they had been worn by the Cadet Wing. The first entry of Cadets into third year from the College Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean entered R.M.C. in September, 1955 and will graduate in May, 1957. Four hundred and twenty cadets attended the College in 1955-56. The number of cadets at the College in September 1956 is 419. The College has during the past year done exceptionally well in sports. The Senior Football, Basketball, Soccer, Track and Field, and Ski teams won the Ottawa- St. Lawrence Conference Championship. Graduating Class The 1956 graduating class, which graduated in May, numbered 99. The members of this class have been added to the Club rolls. The Secretarry has written to each of these now Ex-Cadets welcoming him into the Club and wishing him, on behalf of the Club, every success in his future endeavour. Branch Clubs Twelve Branch Clubs continue to operate. Correspondence with Ex-Cadets living in Calgary and Edmonton may lead to the formation of new Branch Clubs in these cities. 199 War Memorial No action has been taken by your Executive Committee in connection with the question of a War Memorial to Ex-Cadets killed on active service in World War ll. The matter will be placed on the Agenda of the Executive Committee for further consideration. R M C. Review A letter from the Business Manager of the Review enclosed with the last bulletin advises that owing to increased costs of production the amount of the subscription for the Review for the 1957 edition will be 82.00. I would again urge all Ex-Cadets to support the Review and request that you endeavour to obtain advertisements for the next issue which will be published in 1957. Articles or news items would also be appreciated. These should be sent to the Secretary of the Parent Club, or through the Secretaries of the Branch Clubs. The Secretary of the Parent Club continues to act as Ex-Cadet editor, and articles or news items received by him will be sent to Lt-Col T. F. G-elley, associate Ex-Cadet editor, for preparation and editing. Financial Statement Comparative financial statements are printed on the reverse side of the Agenda. The statement shows an operating profit for the year 1955 of 820.27. 1013 Ex-Cadets paid their dues in 1955 compared with 949 in 1954. In addition there are 70 life members. making a total membership of 1083 for the year 1955. Ex-Cadets who have not yet paid their dues for 1956 are urged to do so as soon as possible. Inter School Rifle Competition The R.M.C. Club of Canada Inter-Schools Riile Competition in 1956 was com- peted for by teams from 196 schools. The winning team was Chatham Vocational School, Chatham, Ontario, with a score of 997 out of a possible 1000. The Royal Military College Club Shield, together with ten silver medals, donated by the Club, were presented to the winning team. The Club has received the thanks of the Depart- ment of National Defence in fostering this type of competition in the schools, and providing the medals.

Review BRANCH CLUB NOTES QQXX YQ S 'fa ., F' 1 W TORONTO BRANCH Paid-up membership of the Toronto Club as of mid-March, 1957, stands at approxi- mately 200, a very small increase over 1956. To date, no applications have been received from Ex-Cadets of Royal Roads and C.M.R. to become associate members. The September meeting of the General Council held in Kingston last September was attended by five- members of our Branch. Lt.-Col. W. W. G. Darling, D.S.O., E.D. was elected a member of the Executive Committee. The February meeting was attended by Brig. Wotherspoon and Lt.-Col. Darling. Undoubtedly the highlight of the year was the Guard of Honour for His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada provided by the cadets at the Royal Winter Fair in November, 1956. This was the first time in many years that the cadets have paraded in Toronto. The appearance, drill and efficiency of this Guard, numbering about 100, drew many very complimentary remarks. It was an excellent show. Afterwards, the cadets and their ladies were entertained by the Branch at H.M.C.S. York. This rounded out a very successful evening, especially for those Ex-Cadets who had the opportunity to see the Guard on parade. In addition to the cadets, approximately 60 Ex-Cadets with their wives attended this reception. During the Christmas holidays a cocktail party was arranged for the cadets and their ladies. There were about 50 cadets present and about 55 Ex-Cadets. Once again, our thanks to Capt. Stupart for their generosity in making the facilities of H.M.C.S. York available to the Branch. The award by the Branch for the graduating cadet who received the highest marks in conduct, drills and exercises was again presented and was won by No. 3616, C. A. Justice. The prize was again a wrist watch, of the winner's choice, valued at S100.00. The prize will again be awarded this year. MONTREAL BRANCH Ofiicers of the Executive Committee for 1957 are as follows: President, J. E. Pepallg, Vice-President, R. H. E. Walkerg Secretary-Treasurer, Ian H. Fraser. Members of the- Executive Committee for 1957 are as follows: F. X. Chaballe, to retire at Annual Meeting 1958, W. K. G. Savage 119581, L. H. Packard 1195915 P. R. D. MacKell, Royal Roards 119591, J. I. B. Williamson 619601, L. H. Couillard, C.M.R. 619601. 1957 205 The paid-up membership numbers 194, which is a decrease of 2 from 1955. We have 350 Ex-Cadets on our mailing list. lt is apparent, therefore, that our active membership could be increased considerably. This can be done most effectively by contacting the membersi of one's own Class. It is important, moreover, that efforts be made to increase the number of active members among those who have graduated since the reopening of the College. I have to announce during the year the deaths of No. 667, Lt.-Col. E. Gerald Hanson, D.S'.O., E.D., No. 2298, Lt. T. A. Savard, No. 2394, F!Lt. A. Jarry. and No. 2426. Major F. E. D. Girouard. In each case, we sent an expression of sympathy in the form of flowers or donations to a specific charitable organization. At the last Annual Meeting of the Club held in Kingston, the Constitution was amended to enable the members of the Ex-Cadet Club of Royal Roads to become associate members of the R.M.C. Club by individual application. We are indeed very pleased to welcome the members of the Royal Roads Club and we look to their participation in all our activities. The Annual Dinner was attended by 82. including 8 guests. Dr. Sawyer was the principal speaker, he discussed the main features of the academic course. This year, we were host to 26 cadets at the Christmas holiday luncheon. This is the one opportunity of the year to talk informally with the cadets from the three Colleges and, for this reason, it has a particular attraction for us. The food was again excellent. The Montreal Branch trophy was presented to the College Mililtaire Royal on Gradua- tion Day on May 12th last year. This trophy is for the annual inter-squadron hockey championship. In accordance with a motion approved at the last Annual Meeting, a 5500.00 Dominion of Canada 3W Bond was purchased. We also hold a similar bond of 551000.00 value. The cash in bank is S262.00. Excess of receipts over disbursements for the year is S65.74. The total amount of our funds is well in excess of any anticipated requirements and we should' consider different ways of spending some of this money to benefit the College. I suggest one way would be to grant an annual prize for, say. mathematics and one also for sports to high schools in areas where the nature and the activities of the College should be better known. I wish to express my sincere thanks to the St. James' Club and to Johnny MacDonnell, and to the Victoria Rifies and Lt.-Col. George Ross Robertson, and to Choppy Dobell for his time in preparing the auditors' report. Finally, the Executive Committee has been most helpful to me during the year and I am grateful for their assistance and advice. I would like to make a special mention of the great effort made by Hugh Morrisey in his work as Secretary, thanks to him, all our records are in excellent shape and he has contributed substantially to making the President's task a pleasant duty indeed. In closing, I wish to remark on the subject of the Club as an influence on the life and activities of the College. Regardless of the fact that the government owns and operates the College, the Club, which is composed of a good cross-section of the responsible and thinking people of Canada, should have a voice in the broad policies affecting the College. Further- more, there should be some way of meeting those responsible for making policy, to present and to discuss our views, for example, on such subjects as the R.O.T.P., the nature of the courses that are available, the most desirable qualifications on graduation, the institution- of a fourth arm of the service, i.e., the civil service for both national and international organization of government. It is realized that the difficulties in securing a voice in the operation of the College are tremendous, but nevertheless this should be our aim, no matter how long it takes. Judging from the last meeting of the General Council, it is evident that more thought and preparation should be given to a subject which a Branch delegation wishes to discuss, the case in point was the status of scholarships. The difficulty, however. is that one year is not sufficient for the President to become thoroughly familiar with all the facts of a subject. I would like to make the suggestion that consideration be given to the formation of a sort of College Policy Committeen on a local Branch level which would consist of the three most recent ex-presidents who would study subjects of this nature and submit their recom- mendations through the Branch Executive Committee. G. SAVARD President 206 R.M.C. Review OTTAWA BRANCH Since our Annual Meeting on March 21st, 1956, this Branch has held two cocktail parties. The first. on April 21st, 1956. was attended by 77 Ex-Cadets and their ladies. The second. on October 27th, 1956, was attended by 63 Ex-Cadets and their ladies, and on that occasion. we entertained the football team after they had convincingly defeated Carleton' College. About 40 cadets attended. The turnout of Ex-Cadlets for the fall cocktail party was disappointingly small, due to other events going on at that time, and we were at times outnumbered by the cadets themselves because the football team was accompanied by quite a rooting section of cadets. who were also invited to the party. I hope that conffict of interest can be avoided for this party in the future, because it is the one occasion when we entertain the cadets here in Ottawa during the year. I was able to attend with Colonel Fosberry, our Branch Vice-President, the General Council Meeting on September 28th, 1956 and the Annual Meeting on the following day, and I am happy to report that the affairs of the Club were handled in the usual efficient manner on both those occasions. Our Branch was well represented by our members at the Annual Meeting. I was also able to attend a meeting of the Executive Council at Kingston on February 22nd, 1957 with Major S. A. Gillies, Council member retiring this year and Lt.-Col. D. C. MacDonald who has been nominated for Executive Council membership by this Branch. The paid membership of the Branch for this year is 108 out of a possibility of some- thing in excess of 200 Ex-Cadets resident in the area. This is not a satisfactory situation but repeated efforts by your executives over the past few years have failed' to produce better results. I would urge all Ex-Cadets to keep our Secretary informed of their arrival in or departure from Ottawa, so that our records and mailing list may be kept as up-to-date as possible. The Branch Committee has been enlarged to include a representative of each of the regular forces stationed here in Ottawa, and their efforts have been particularly helpful to our Secretary. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Branch Executive and Committee Members for their support and assistance during the past year, and would emphasize my appreciation of the untiring efforts of our Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. C. E. Winter. J. F. MACLAREN President KINGSTON BRANCH Our Branch is proud of being fourth largest in the Club with 47 paid-up members. We actually have 120 odd in the area, but a large number of these are last year's graduates at Queen's who are exempt from payment of dues. A number of our members come from such distant points as Cornwall, Trenton, Port Hope and Belleville. The directing staff and students at the Canadian Army Staff College, officers on the staff of the College and officers posted to the various military formations in the Kingston area add a large but transient number to our membership. We are hard pressed to keep track of the arrivals and departures. During the past year the Branch held two cocktail parties, a Branch dinner and a Ladies Dinner in connection with the Parent Club Annual Meeting. Our representative at- tended the Memorial Service on Remembrance Day held at the Memorial Arch, and the executive assisted in the arrangements for the Annual Meeting. We are greatly honoured to have one of our members, Lt.-Col. de Lotbiniere Panet serve as President of the Parent Club. The 1957 Annual Meeting was held at Fort Frontenac on February 23rd and the following slate of officers were elected: Hon. Presidents, Major General W. H. P. Elkins C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O. and Brigadier D. G. Cunningham, C.B.E., D.S.O., Q.C.g President Lt.-Col. J. F. McParland, D.S.O., lst Vice-President, Colonel H. H. Lawson, E.D., O.L.S.g 2nd Vice-President, Mr. D. G. Robertson, B.Sc.g Secretary, Captain W. C. Murrayg Treasurer, Mr. A. R. Kear, Committee, Major Gordon Sellar, Major F. E. Hetherington, M.Sc., Lt. A. Beemer, Mr. I. H. Graham, Lt.-Col. F. Wootton, Major R. C. Oaks, E.D., and Major A. B. Smith, M.C. 9 9 1957 207 VANCOUVER BRANCH The Annual Meeting held at l-l.Q.,B.C. on April 5th, last year at Area Oflicers' Mess was attended by 17 members. Dinner was served in the Mess after the meeting, and later Brig. D. M Clark produced a roulette wheel which netted the Club 5525.86 towards its expenses. The annual cocktail party for cadets attending summer training was held on June 4th at the R.C.S'.M.E. School at Veddar Crossing, and was attended by 32 members, 28 wives of members, 45 cadets who brought with them 19 ladies, and in addition 18 young ladies from Vancouver invited by Club members to meet the cadets, a total of 142 people in all. The dinner party held for Lt.-Gen. G. G. Simonds, C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O., who was visiting Vancouver last June, was attended by 23 members. A luncheon for General Sir C. F. Loewen, K.C.B., K.B.E., D.S.O., who was on his way to London in September to take over the appointment of Adjutant-General of the British Army, was attended by 25 members. In February, a luncheon was given for Captain J. C. Charles, Commandant of Royal Roads, who was requested to address the membership regarding the possibility of an Ex Cadet Weekend in Victoria, similar to the one held so successfully at Kingston. Seventeen members were present. The executive is still working on plans to arrange the Ex-Cadet Weekend mentioned above, in September of this year. The Club had 34 paid-up members in 1956 out of a total of 99 Ex-Cadets. However, of these 99, 41 are out of town and consequently are not active. We have thus 34 paid-up members out of 58 available. It is hoped we will be able to do better in 1957, due to the increased activity of the past year. C. D. L. DYKE Secretary VANCOUVER ISLAND BRANCH The Annual Meeting was held on Friday, April 20th at Royal Roads by kind permission of Captain Charles, the Commandant. There was a good attendance and the following were elected members of the Executive: President, Capt. F. C. Pollard, Vice-President, Lt.-Col. H. A. Smith, Hon. Secretary-Treasurer, Lt.-Col. W. E. C.

Pollard, gave a cocktail party to all members on Friday November 30th. The Club members entertained 11 cadets representing Royal Roads, R.M.C. and C.M.R. between Christmas and the New Year on Friday, December 28th, at Royal Roads. The Club regrets to advise the death of two active members, Col. R. L. Fortt and Lt.-Col. W. E. C. Eliot. Col. Fortt died on July 23rd, 1956 and Lt.-Co-1. Eliot on February 15th, 1957. 9 F. C.

Gibson. the Regular Force Garrison Oflicersi Mess was made available to us again during Christmas week to entertain the serving cadets in the form of a cocktail party and tea dance. Some 18 cadets and their ladies, as well as 20 Branch Club members with their ladies turned out for this popular annual event. 303 R.M.C. Review The Annual Meeting held last April was attended by 34 members. As guest speaker, the Branch was fortunate in having A!C D. A. R. Bradshaw, D.F.C., C.D., the Commandant of the College. who brought us up to date on activities with particular emphasis on the College as it is today and compared with what most Ex-Cadets experienced in their years there. No. 638. Mr. F. H. Greenlees, the Branch historian, added another interesting and hilarious chapter to the oliicial history of the Western Ontario Branch. The following slate of oliicers was elected for the year: President, K. G. Fleming, Vice-President, J. H. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer, T. O. Cadham. Members are reminded that the Annual Meeting will be held at the Dundas Street Armouries Otiicers' Mess on Saturday, April 13th, 1957. T. O.

In addition, there are another 6 affiliated members who reside beyond commuting distance. Invitations to join the Branch were sent to new graduates and to all Ex-Cadets known to have arrived in the district recently. Among the new arrivals we were glad to welcome No. 1325, L. H. Carr-Harris, No. 2290, Brig. D. Menard, D.S.O., No. 2562, Major H. A. Cameron, and No. 2759, Captain J. C. Forbes. We regretted the departure during the year of No. 2565, A. W. Duguid. The Annual Meeting took place on April 5th after our Annual Dinner held in the Garrison Club, which 11 members were able to attend. We were honoured to have as our guest at dinner the Area Commander, Brig. F. J. Fleury, C.B.E., E.D., who spoke on the subject of the Japanese Army. We were much interested because his tour as Military Attache 1957 209 in Japan in 1950-51 enabled him to present a picture of his first-hand observations. Co-pies of the President's Report and the Financial Statement were sent to all members unable to attend the Annual Meeting. Through the year the Executive Committee was able to perform its functions without formal meetings. On December 28th we held our annual Christmas holiday reunion, this year in the Garrison Club. Sixteen members attended and we were happy to be joined by 6 cadets from R.M.C. and 4 from C.M.R. There are no cadets at Royal Roads from the Quebec district at present. Once again, we invited any members of the staff who might happen to be in Quebec and were glad to have one of the C.M.R. professors as our guest. We included a general invitation to the Montreal Branch, although none of its members were able to be in Quebec at that time. We were pleased to receive a general invitation to their Christmas buffet luncheon in Montreal. No. 2479, Lt.-Col. A. S. Price has consented to accept nomination as President for 1957, No. 2290, Brig. D. Menard as Vice-President, and No. 2488, Lt.-Col. R. C. D. Stewart as Secretary-Treasurer.

Paid-up membership for the year stood at 19, although a possible membership from the Maritime region is about 60. It is hoped that 1957 will show a marked increase. Through the facilities of R.C.A.F. transport, and particularly through the generosity of No. 1780, AIC M.

With 14 members in Kingston, the Halifax Branch must surely have achieed its greatest representation since the Club's inception. Prior to sailing for the West Indies on an extended three months cruise, our President. Captain D. W. Piers, entertained 31 Ex-Cadets and their guests on board his ship H.M.C.S. Algonquin , The cocktail party was thoroughly enjoyed by all present and should serve to stimulate greater interest in future social activities. The following were present: No. 1637, L. W. B.

MacDonald attended the Remembrance Service for No. 943, Air Marshal W. A. Bishop, V.C., C.B., D.S.O., M.C., D.F.C., which was held in St. Paul's Church, Portman Square on 19 Sep 56, at 12.15 p.m. He has provided the Secretary with a copy of the Service of Remembrance which will be forwarded to the Parent Club. tbl The following cable was sent by the U.K. Branch to the President of the Parent Club on 28 Sep 56, on the occasion of the Annual Meeting: All Ex-Cadets in United Kingdom send' best wishes for a successful reunion. tcj At the Annual Meeting of the Parent Club on 29 Sep 56, the Constitution of the Club was amended to provide for associate membership of the following: Royal Naval College of Canada, Royal Canadian Naval College, R.C.N. tRoya.l Roadsl!R.C.A.F. tC.M.R.J Services Colleges. The question was raised whether members of the Staff of Royal Roads, who had been granted honorary membership in the Royal Roads Ex-Cadet Club, could: be granted associate membership in the R.M.C. Club. This honorary membership was not approved by the Parent Club. It was pointed out that members of the staff at R.M.C. are not entitled to become associate members of the R.M.C. Club, therefore, no action could be taken on giving this privilege to members of the staff of Royal Roads. The President introduced the guest of honour, Sir David Gammans, Bt., M.P., who gave a short and very interesting address in which he made special mention of his old association with the College. He was duly thanked by the President who expressed the deep appreciation of everyone that he had been able to attend. The meeting then, proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year. It was proposed by Lt.-Gen. Sir George Cory, K.C.B., K.B.E., DJS-.O., seconded by Col. C. B. R. MacDonald- and unanimously carried that Brig. W. G. Tyrell, D.S.O. be elected President. It was proposed from the Chair, and unanimously carried that Brig. D. R. Agnew, C.B.E., C.D., LL.D., be elected Vice-President. Unfortunately, Brig. Agnew could not attend the meeting as he had to return to Brussels on the 29th, but it gave the members great pleasure to know that he will be able to attend future meetings. Major S. D. Parker agreed to take over the oflice of Honorary Secretary-Treasurer from G. L. Bodwell, Esq., who had informed the meeting that he was required to leave immediately for Ceylon on company business, and that he would be away for some time. He carried the best wishes of the Club and his services have been deeply appreciated. The new President then took the Chair and moved a hearty vote of thanks to Lt.-Gen. Sir Edward Grasett for the able way in, which he had conducted the affairs of the Club during his period of ollice. Every member joined heartily in this expression of thanks. The officers of the United Kingdom Branch for 1957, elected at the Annual Meeting, were as follows: President, Brig. W. G. Tyrrell, D.S.O., 119 Norbiton Hall, Kingston-on- Thames, Surrey-Tel.
