An CC.B.D 6014 FREDERICK RAYMOND SUTHERLAND Soest Canadian Senior School Who is that cadet wearing the 137 sweater out there? Why that's Canada's greatest amateur hockey player. But why is he all crumpled up against the boards? Oh, don't worry, that's normal! And so it goes for Fred Suds Sutherland, who has finally reached his long-sought goal-- going through Canservcol without ever' having to organize anything. The . Rifle , as his more ardent football fans like to call him, has participated in almost every activity the College has to offer, including a number of others toward which his closer friends have enthusiastically directed him. We understand Fred has entered the music world now. His newest record, I'll Wear Your Ring Around My Neck, is apparently selling at a tremendous rate. Fred has seriously considered taking post-graduate work, but after looking back on five long years of study, plus an extra year of review on how to become proficient in Drill and Exercises, he has decided to forego any further academic pursuits. He now enters the RCAF on a full-time basis to round out his dreams of excitement in the air. From your many friends, the greatest of luck, Fred, and a healthy, lifelong career in Supply. CH.U.M.D

6639 ROMAN PIOTR JAKUBOW Holden High School Roman Jakubow came to his Eldorado from Warsaw, Poland. He is affectionately known as Jake and when he isn't carrying that air of determination, he manages to break into a smile and enjoy a good joke. In spite of all his achievements, Roman's head never swells, and he commands the admiration and respect of all his friends and associates. In both military and academic matters, Roman has been known for his natural drive, his deep integrity, and his keen sense of leadership. He received the Royal Military College Club of Canada Award for the best all-round cadet in second year, as well as the Canadian Army Award for the best second-year Army cadet at Royal Roads. At the end of his third year at RMC, he was presented with the Dr. P.F. Fisher Memorial Trophy for combined military and academic prowess. Roman served as DXCWC in the Slate of Honour at Royal Roads and at RMC he achieved the esteemed position of CWA, which he served with typical efficiency and hard work. In the sports world, he was captain of the Royal Roads and RMC soccer teams and played volleyball, waterpolo, and hockey. An outstanding engineer, he held the unique position as President of the Symposium, a predominantly Artsmen society. The Chess Club also received his enthusiastic support. Of course, on the social side ofthings Roman scored par for the course. As DXCWC at Royal Roads, he jealously guarded the Blue Book while performing the role of debutante escort admirably. At RMC he has been known to extend his field of action as far as Toronto, Montreal and even the USA! Roman will be happy to leave his Monumental Library of Maths and Physics books upon Graduation. However, with such asolid base in every aspect of his training our Roman is sure to shine in years to come. 6454 WILLIAM CHARLES LEACH Chambly County High School Our Bill was born in Sarnia, Ont., November 6, 1942, a prophecy of new and better things in a war-torn world. Spreading goodwill and prosperity throughout the country, he has so- journed in Halifax, Boston Cwhere, it is said, they chastised him for not choosing the right side of the frontier when he was born right on ith, Montreal, Oakville, Borden, and Kingston. Avidly interested in sports---hockey, baseball, and football---and born to a military en- vironment, he immediately recognized CMR as the challenging endroit to pursue his choosen career as an RCOC officer. French and academics prospered, Bill became CSSO and displayed the drive, spirit, and organization ability for which he is now respected. RMC suited him perfectly---probably because it's closer to her house---and success grew on success. His course in Economics well in hand, his social life sparkling, he ruled the athletic world from his 'scenic-view' room in Fort Haldimand. The year saw Bill give excellent service to the college swim and water-polo teams, squadron volleyball, football, and hockey teams. A true officer, the summers have seen Bill distinguish himself as top man at the RCOC school and we cannot but believe that the future holds every military success for him. Best of luck, Bill, everywhere---in everything. JDH 6651 JOHN RONALD LEITOLD St. James Collegiate Institute Ron is one of the last of the red-hot pilots, or so he tells us. The red-hot part came from spending a summer in Europe on contact training absorbing local atmosphere. After seeing Ron's marvellous collec- tion of beer steins and coasters collected from all over France and Germany, you get the impression that a lot of the atmosphere was liquid. The Coach is the epitome of the no-glory athlete. At Roads he played on the Rugger First XV and on the soccer, basketball and cross-country teams. At RMC he came back for more, playing halfback on the senior football team and left wing on the intermediate hockey team. Ron has left his mark in other areas of college life as well. In second year at Royal Roads he served first and honour slates as CSL and second slate as CWC. On graduation the same year he received the award as the best RCAF cadet. This year he finally reached the ultimate goal of all cadets by being appointed Captain of the SFMA. Affectionately known to his loyal subjects as the King , Ron has managed to maintain the relaxed atmosphere that some envious inhabitants of the other side of the square might call slack. As the crooner of the Kingston Three, Ron has brought many a sweet young thing close to tears while singing at dances, at hootenannys, and in assorted coffee houses. He has many talents and has participated in many activities, some perhaps betterleft unrecorded. At the same time he has managed to take a course or two in English leading to an honours degree. We are sure that if Ron pursues life with the same enthusiasm that he has shown in his life at the College he will have a promising and probably prolific future. J.S.H.K. 12

6582 D, BRENT ABBOTT Rideau High School Brent was born in Brandon but soon left the wide-open spaces for the bustle of Ottawa. After finishing high school, he again returned to the West to spend two years at Royal Roads. There, he took on the thankless job of business manager of The Log and raised the money to make it the best publication in the last few years. He also found time to run No. l Squadron as SfAdjt on the first and Honour Slates. In all four years at CSC Brent has taken an active part in intramural sports. His abilities have been recognized and he was rewarded with a senior-year appointment as CFL. Brent spent his first two summers taking pilot training and was a member of the outcasts of Station Moose Jaw. For his last summer, he managed to get stationed at Ottawa and there decided that the RCAF was truly a good life. Upon graduation, Brent will take his B.Sc. and will return to the West for training on Tutors as the beginning of what is certain to be a successful Air Force career. B.A.B. 6584 KEITH PAL L AMBACHTSHEER Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School Dutch went suburban in 1954, leaving his native Rotterdam for the metropolis of Corunna, Ontario. By '61, having lapped up English at SCITS, lie naively accepted a welcome government grant to holiday in Victoria for two years, with time oti to see his family every six months or so. He get by out there by sticking to something he knew Csoccerl, and following his anti-slide rule learnings-to become one of the original narcoleptic nine. At RMC, Keith fitted comfortably into Frontenac Squadron, illustrated by his DXCFL appointment in fourth year. Memories of high-school football days stirred him to a successful fling with the senior Redmen, followed by a return to the soccer team. A well-trained squanderer of time, Amby is credited with a Marker assistant editorship, a tenor Glee Club part, a page in the KGH book tmulitudinously annotatedl and an Honours standing in Commerce and Economics. VVe hope, as does he, that his degree won't go too far down the drain in the Ordnance Corps, or even that circumstances might permit the addition of an M BA, so that Amby will always stay ahead of the game, if only by a nose. T.K.B- 6360 CARL WILLIAM CRAIG ANDERSON The shock of birth, some twenty-two years ago, kept Chuck on the move until his family finally settled in Pentictlon, B,C, After high school, Chuck sought a new world to conquer at CMR. While there, Chuck met a schoolteacher who now causes us to wonder if his legal residence is RMC or Chateauguay. In his final year at CMR, as a CSA, Chuck proved that, with proper manipulation, a bureaucracy can be made to serve, rather than enslave. At RMC Chuck gave up a promising future on the fencing team to become a leading light of the Judo Club. This year, as Commandant's Aide, he is privileged to play an intricate part in that complex minuet, the RMC parade. An electronic fiend, Chuck was a natural for Engineering Physics, which he handles most creditably. Even so, an enquiring mind gave him a lively interest in the humanities. Chuck's summers in the TECHXTEL bra.nch of the RCAF will result in a career closely tied in with his degree. The combination, he hopes, will eventually be reinforced by graduate work. It is certain that his future goals will not escape his grasp, and we all wish him the best of luck. PSB 6585 RICHARD FREDERICK ARCHER Newmarket High School Ruislip, Middlesex is located on a fog-bound island off the northwest coast of France, which is merely one way of saying that Awche is a long way from home , He seems to have forgotten to drop the fog out of his speech, and consequently he now utilizes a vernacular that could be classed as Canadian Cockney. Rick is the veritable world traveller. From Newmarket, Ontario, he made his way to HMCS Venture on the West Coast. Disdaining the position of Cadet Captain there, Awche rowed across the bay to Royal Roads, where he promptly distinguished himself by playing on the College soccer and rugger teams, while still maintaining the demanding post of CFL during his Senior year. Finally forsaking the fog and the foam, he settled in at RMC, where he played intermediate football, rep. soccer and captained the fifteen rugger lovers who annually clash heads with local college teams in several exhibition games. The verve and exuberance which Rick puts into athletics earned him a CFSO slot in the Spider Squadron bureaucracy. This enthusiastic outlook and his diligent efforts in the Screwjack and Funnel-factory school will certainly ensure his success in the RCN. Best of luck, Awche ! J.R.L. fl, 6098 ROBERT LLOYD ARMSTRONG Middleton Regional High School After high school graduation, Bob saw the light and joined the motley crew which descended upon CMR in 1959. He entered the hallowed halls of Maisonneuve Squadron to the tune of When the Saints... in a not so saintly way, but soon got the hang of it. Are you English? .... No, Sir, I'm Armstrong! Bob never has disclosed his native tongue. Bob soon showed his ability at sports trying his hand at gymnastics and rep diving. With a more than occasional choir sing and a more than occasional leave, Bob did manage to get occasional moments for studying. This time was usually spent playing cards or drinking coffee, generally someone else'S. In any event, Bob left CMR and zeroed in on RMC, He landed in the Stone Frigate a.nd decided to enjoy life. In fact, he decided to do it all over again in third year. Finally Civil Engineering took hold. By this time the Artillery had found that they had a potential successor to Napoleon and could only make his every wish their command. With luck like that, and a marriage in the offing, Bob doesn't need any advice. . D.E.K. 14 l S
