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

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

6587 WM, DOUGLAS ARMSTRONG Early Haig High School Ever since Doug was born, he has possessed a great desire to get ahead and get the best out of life in so doing. For this reason Doug chose to take his advanced education in the Canservcol and applied for Royal Roads. The rest is now history, as Doug was accepted and became a very studious cadet. He chose a difficult course in Electrical Engineering and an equally difficult sport in rugger. Doug, being what he is, has become a good rugger player and an even better engineer. Since Doug spends most if his time on his studies, he hasn't given much attention to the faier sex of Kingston. However, he makes the occasional quiet trip home to Toronto, in all probability he has an interest there other than his parents. Doug will go a long way and always be happy in whatever station in life he ends up in, as his qualities-sincerity, generosity, understanding, quietness, friendliness and determination-are a combination possessed by few a.nd envied by many. R.B.B. 6588 STEPHEN JOHN ARNOLD Queen Elizabeth High School Steve had a craving to travel, and when he read Go places, go Navy, he could not resist. So far, he hasn't been sorry as he has been up and down the Pacific coast and across Canada several times. At heart, Steve has been a westerner all his life, and although maybe not the fastest gun in the West, he did bring a fair shooting eye with him to RMC. In match rifle, his yellow glasses did not make him the most beautiful sight on the range, but they must have given him a better view of the target as he could always shoot a good score for the College team. Rep rifle was not the only team Steve was on, as he was the only SFMA racing cyclist. It may be a secret to some but, to those who know him, it was not just a red blur that went streaking by the Frigate but Rambling-Rose Arnold on another tour of No. 2 Highway East. Steve and Moose might have made quite a canoe-racing team if it hadn't been for that one extra wave. Steve, whatever happened to your wrist watch? Give it to some fish in Navy Bay? G,R,W, 6157 VICTOR VINE ASHDOWN Sturgis Composite High School On February 13, 1943 the small Saskatchewan town of Okla was blessed by Victor's arrival. A prairie farm- boy, Vic took three years of his high school education through correspondence. On completion of high school, he decided to accept the challenge of the Canadian Army and entered RMC in 1960. While here, he has shown a keen interest in intra-mural sports, especially hockey and softball, and was the sports Editor of the REVIEW during his third year. He came as a non-swimmer, but will graduate as a charter member of the 401 Arts Aquatic Club , Vic has always been an aspiring cadet, combining college life with harmonica playing and goat rustling on Fort Henry Hill. After a slow start in academics, Vic has come on strong during the last four years to become a leading member of the Honours Atlas club, and will graduate with a BA in Politics and Geography, Hard work and a friendly nature have rewarded Vic with the position of CFL in his senior year, and this same drive will surely lead him to a successful career in the C Int C. G,A,B, 6158 JAMES BRYER ASTLEY Brandon Collegiate Institute As an air cadet in Manitoba, Jim used to long for the freedom of the air. Now as a pilot he is attaining it. The love of flight is the great passion of his life, and he avidly pursues all that will aid him in the air. But not all of Jim is flighty. His more down-to-earth pursuits include volleyball, water polo and debating, all at the squadron level. He is also a sometime Glee Clubber. And when it comes to autos, Jim is an expert. He is able to quote volumes of facts a.nd figures describing the performance of almost any car on the road. Such an interest in things mechanical makes us wonder just why Jim is in Electrical Engineering. Just why are you in Electrical Engineering Jim? But for whatever reason, he put his knowledge to good use in the Electronics Club, where he was a guiding light and a live wire. Thus it would appear that Jim selected one of the most difficult academic courses, as well as a vigorous military career. With such high goals and his drive-the-body attitude, we forecast a fine future for him. P.R.L. 5352 VILNIS ULDIS AUNS Monklands High School Vil hit the world from Latvia in 1949 and was quickly converted into an enthusiastic Montrealer. High-school athletics, activities on the Main and a seagoing background in the family fitted him well for the RCN and military college, where he has since prospered. The early years at CMR were filled with the trials of one whose spirit inevitably clashes with that of the military, and Vil learned thoroughly the lessons of extra drill and inspections. His arrival at RMC found him allied with the electrical department. For the last two years he has driven his mind forward to graduation and a career in the RCN submarines or Canadian engineering. At RMC, Vic has added much to the college a.nd Stone Frigate life through outstanding ability in basketball, water-polo, swimming and a variety of other sports. He will go far in the navy or in anything else he may undertake. Best of luck, no ulcers, and Happy Halifax. DRM 1 5
