THE CLASS OF 1964-65 T RUPH Y In 1903 the Earl of Dundonald, the Commander of the Canadian Militia, presented a trophy to the Royal Military College to be awarded to the winner of the annual mounted sports compe- tition. Since mounted sports no longer play a part in college life, the Dundonald Cup has been presented in recent years to the winning Squadron in the Cadet Wing Drill Competition. While military drill may be known as many things, calling it a sport is stretching the meaning of that term to its limit. To correct this slight incongruity the Graduating Class of 1964-65 has pre- sented to the Cadet Wing the trophy pictured above. It will go to the winning Squadron in the Inter-Squadron Drill Competition. Standing some two feet high, with the figure and bowl in silver, the base in mahogany, this trophy, it is hoped, will be displayed with pride in the lounge of the annual winner of the Drill Competition.

6464 JOHN DAVID SCOTT HARRIES Emley Park School Most cities can boast of being the birthplace of famous people. Such cities will usually admit that some of their offspring are only moderately famous while others are downright infamous. Just how Hamilton, Ontario, felt about the birth of J,D.S, Harries on April 2, 1943, it is hard to say. Having a father in the service gave Dave the ad- vantage of being able to get out of Steel Town early and see the world. For him the world consisted of such places as Halifax, Fredricton, Borden, and Ottawa. About 1958, the Harries family, all four of them, found themselves in the Old Country. At Ramsey, England, the most famous institution is the country's largest brewery. The second most famous is Emley Park School. Dave attended the latter for two years, played on their first fifteen, and held every position from recruit to head boy---not necessarily in that Order. Dave returned to our continent in late 1960 and reported to St. Jean, Quebec, as a recruit of the CMR class of '63, He became well-known in Maisonneuve Squadron and his fame spread throughout the college. In the field of rep sports, his interests were with track and field, water-polo, and swimming. As a mem- ber of the squadron, he contributed to some victories Cand lossesj in basketball, hockey, and football. In his final year, Dave served time as CWC and CSL re- spectively. Never have so many disliked so much for so long. Dave's problem was to keep his natives down. In 1964, Dave was confronted with another chal- lenge---RMC. His problem was compounded when he found that he was a SFMA spiderman. He was able to master both rather well, although he still speaks of the Frigate in his weaker moments. As always, his standards were high and his academic grades combined well with his success at football, water-polo, and swimming to put him at the top when third year ended. As a member of the Canadian Army, Dave saw fit to offer his services to the RCE. Some would have you believe that he did this to make it easier to hunt and fish in the mountains of B,C, This claim is really of little consequence as he has proved his worth by winning the Best Cadet award in each of his two phases to date. No problems can be seen as far as military service is concerned. As spiritual leader of the class of '65, and as CWC, Dave has compiled an admirable record. He has had to manage the biggest senior year, the largest recruit class, and the largest cadet wing ever. He can drive without antagonizing and is even able to push and crack the whip when need be. Under him, the cadet wing functioned well. In the future, I see nothingbut success in the military, academic, and business worlds for him. Our good wishes go with you, Dave. WCL
