R.M.C. Review No. 5575 JOHN EDWARD LAYE PORT ARTHUR COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Born in the capital city of The Great North- west in May 1940, John soon made a name for himself as a good baby by his ability to sleep, a quality not always recognized with such esteem in recent years. John commenced his military career in 1953 with No. S5 PAC1 Sqn., Royal Canadian Air Cadets and progressed Q?J in 1958 to Royal Roads and in 1960 to RMC. Since he lost his golden curls at the age of two Flat-Top has never been known for his long hair. However a.ll tive foot three and fifteen thirty- second inches of Big Bad John has been known for the strength given the intermediate hockey team and his squadron football team. On the recreation side John's distrust for bureaucracy and organization has limited his club membership to the senior TV watchers club and an ex-membership in an infamous record club. In the Service. John looks forward to a career as a Tech!AE ofiicer in the RCAF, having graduated from TOTS Aylmer, Ont. and a summer at Cold Lake Alta. Small in stature but not in ability, John has an assured future. tL.A.G.J No. 5498 GARTH MEECI-I LEFRESNE LISGAR COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Although he does not look nor play the part, this individual is a stalwart Bluenose . Born on February 9th, 1939 in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, he lived in the Maritimes. the eastern seaboard, Quebec, and Newfoundland, during the war. 1-Ie spent his early childhood in Dartmouth: at the age of 13 he moved to Ottawa. Meech, as his closer enemies call him, spent all four years at RMC, taking an avid interest in administrative work. Due to this interest he was appointed to the position of AXCWA this year and consequently holds the distinguished honour of having more paper in his room than any other place in the wing. In third year he was the recipient of the History Prizeg this year, still majoring in history, he is one of the live senior honours Artsmen. After spending two summers at Vimy and one at Army Headquarters in Ottawa, Garth has become quite the evangelist for RC Sigs. Upon graduation he will return to Vimy and about Christmas will head out for a field unit. All of his old 7 Squadron buddies CCraig, Skip, Ron, and Andy fin particulary wish him the best of luck. No. 5633 GUY LEMIEUX TCOLLEGE SAINTE-MARIE De Montreal, par le CMR, nous vint un nouvea Guy. I1 avait passe du scooter at l'auto fsi on peut appeler ce vehicule une autoll. Son plus grand reve: franciser la cause de ses nombreuses absences du college et ainsi ajouter un membre de plus a la societe des Separatistes . .Son ambition de cadet: avoir plus de week- end que tous les autres cadets reunis. Son desespoir: sa promotion-demotion du mois dioctobre qui le lit passer de CFL at CSA. Il passe son temps libre at reparer les degats qu'une certaine garde-malade de Montreal fait a sa voiture en son absence. On reconnait generale- ment les activites de son week-end a l'etat de ses mains. Quand il met ses livres de mecanique de cote ice qui n'arrive pas souventj, on peut le retrouver sur un bateau at voile essayant d'atteindre le point de chavirement. L'hiver il fait du ski, surtout parce que l'equipe de ski se rapproche assez souvent de la belle province . Ne pouvant devenir pilote a cause de defaurs oculaires, Guy tentera tout de meme de servir 1'armee de l'air de son mieux en causant des degats a quelques avions durant sa carriere militalre dans le Tech AE. Quoi qu'il fasse, souhaitons-lui bonne chance ainsi qu'a son Austin et a sa future moit1e . CA. W. EJ

Layne came to Royal Roads from Moose Jaw after graduation from Moose Jaw Central Collegiate in 1958.

Layne has not spent all his time studying, how- everg his reputation on the soccer Held is well known throughout the College.

SJ NO. 5186 JOHN RUEBEN LAWLESS CoBoURo -COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Reub , known as Bobo to the intellectuals. charmed the world by appearing on the scenes on October 27th, 1939. YVhile in high school, John was a busy bee. He spent a lot of his spare time playing the piano for many different orchestras and playing the field for other fine things in life. His first glance at the Air Force came when he joined the air cadets in 1955. The reach for the sky trend was carried on when, in 1957. he joined the RCAF and came to RMC. Here. John continued to exercise his musical abilities by play- ing the piano for the Glee Club for three years. His great aim was also the life of many a party. Always showing a vivid interest in College activities, Rueb managed the senior rep. hockey team for the last three years and was circulation manager for The Jllarker in his third year. He was the unmistakable choice for the position of AXCWRO, and he continues his good work of keeping everybody happy. Yes, he does go to classes! His course in Commerce and Economics uses up the rest of his time- flilicluding of course a few hours of Pit here and ere. John is a radio officer at heart and will, upon graduation, spend another summer in wonderful Winnipeg to complete his aircrew training. After this, he intends to make the big jump and live a happy married life in Maritime Air Command. The best of luck to you, kidg we'1l always be watching the headlines. tY.P.J

CC.K.J No. 5400 ROBERT LEVESQUE ECOLE sECoNDAiRE SAINT-HENRI Deambulant le long des sombres corridors du college, un spectre connu de tous et respecte des esprits surgit. C'est le fakir du genie electrique. Ce nom mysterieux eveille dans l'esprit de ses confreres une personnalite et un caractere fort aussi bien que l'image de notre bon ami Robert. Emergent des coteaux de Saint-Henri, Robert arriva ei CMR en 1957. Apres un stage tapageur a Saint-Jean, il demenagea ses penates a RMC ou il continua a faire rayonner sa personnalite. Caractere jovial et enjoue, Robert est pret a jouer une bonne blague a ses compagnons. Qu'on ne se meprenne pas, car il lui arrive d'etre serieux. Devoreur de tout journal traitant de politique internationale, Robert conserve quand meme assez de patriotisme pour se tenir au Courant des affaires de la republique . Quand il sortira de RMC, on le retrouvera au RCEME comme Urafistoleur de Iils electriquesn. Tous nous te souhaitons bonne chance et pas trop de courts-circuits. fB.B.J No. 5499 RONALD JOHN LOCHEAD DUNNVILLE DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL R.J. smiled at his first nurse on the 25th oi' August, 1939, in Hamilton.
