6589 THOMAS ANDREW BAILEY St. Joseph's High School One could speak no more highly of Tom than to say that he is a true westerner. Born and schooled in Edmonton, Alberta. The RCN was the natural escape from his landlocked province. Q Tom went to Royal Roads in 1961, and proved his jockability as an active member both years of the rep rugger and cross-country teams. At RMC he has played both senior and intermediate football, as well as hockey and rugger. Academically, Tom hopes to be a civil engineer--one of those funny little men who build bridges. However, the only bridge Tom is likely to see is one fixed firmly to the superstructure of a destroyer. Tom is a qualified Naval Clearance Diving Officer, and he considers his income from this source a great asset. So do many of his friends, who find him less ruthless than the loan companies. His real love, however, is stratospheric, not subsurface, for Tom is going to be one of those crazy navy fliers. Whatever you do, Tom, your friends know that you will do it well, a.nd we wish you the best of luck, CJORDDCD 6511 DAVID EDWARD ALLAN BARRATT Richview Collegiate Institute On the 12th day of January, 1942, our curly haired boy made his grand entrance at Montreal. Finding that place a drag, he eventually ended up in Toronto to finish his schooling. He came on to bigger and better things at RMC in 1961. Always willing to participate, Dave has represented the College in volleyball for four years. He has also found time to take part in squadron football and basketball, as well as the College Art Club. An Artsman to the very core, Dave will receive his degree in History next May, The Navy has given Dave ample opportunity to travel. During his summer jaunts he has carried his winning smile to such places as Long Beach a.nd Pearl Harbour. All of this has only gone to prove to Dave that he should become a naval aviator upon graduation. n A staunch Frigateer for the first three years of his stay at RMC, Dave now finds himself as CFL of D Flight where his post-tattoo pizza parties reportedly draw sellout crowds. With his constant smile and warm enthusiasm, we know Dave will have no trouble making a success of his future pursuits. J .G.F, 6513 JOH.N TELESEPHORE BART East York Collegiate Born, raised, and schooled in the typical civilian manner, J,T, dreaded after eighteen years to end this campus sequence and become a cadet at RMC, His intentions while here were to concentrate as much as possible on all three aspects of the College: academics, athletics and social life, with emphasis on the latter. As a budding young chemical engineer, he will certainly be successful in the first. His keen sense of humour and light feet have carried him through his third objective. However, it has taken John four years to fulfill his athletic ambitions. This year he played on the rep volleyball team. After clutching his degree in his hand, J,T. leaves RMC and heads out for the RCEME school. It is here that he hopes to put his chemical engineering sense to the test. J .T,'s plans for the future include post-graduate studies. With continuing determination and his ability to cope with hard work, he will be a success in any field. To F,T, from all his friends, a sincere Good-bye and good luck. n J .K.H. 6590 THOMAS GORDON BARTON Royal York Collegiate Institute Tom began his illustrious rise to fame by entering Royal Roads in 1961. His summers have been spent training as a pilot with the RCAF. At RMC he joined the Glee Club and Art Club, both of which visited Toronto. Something about Hog Town interested him, and still does. Civil Engineering appeals strongly to Tom, as a casual visitor to his room would soon discover. l-le plans to redesign and rebuild the entire subway system of Metropolitan Toronto. And he probably will. Tom says that CSC is his favourite hobby. His studies, monumental as they must be, seen trivial beside his skills as a locksmith and house-painter. Just to show his interest in his hobby, he fired a rep. pistol and carried the squadron in football. But in spite of these accomplishments, Tom just wants to get married, settle down, and raise a family. We are certain he will succeed. P.R.L. l 6591 TERRY KEITH BAXTER Central Collegiate Institute Some people come to college to develop a systematic method of thinking, others come merely to make high marks on examinations. Bax came to find out how much sparetime a guy could have while maintaining a 7592, average. Our Regina boy proved that about one night every two weeks ought to be spent with the books Qevery night, the week before examsb if one is to maintain a 75022, average in Honours Economics and Commerce. The other nights and weekends may be spent playing a guitar and singing folksongs around town, playing bridge in Bunk's bridge parlour, debating for the college, administrating 4 Squadron, Che would have liked to skip out of that but after all, if you are CSA you have got to play the gamey, chicking chicks, or developing his already finely timed skills in the art of procrastination. Despite four years of knee trouble, Bax still showed enough athletic talent to play both senior soccer a.nd basketball at Roads and RMC, At present he is still studying the relative merits of navigating an RCAF bird and doing some graduate work in economics next year, the Class of '65 is sure he will revolutionize whichever field he chooses.

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

6592 ROBERT JOHN BEARDMORE Alberni District High School British Columbia may not be God's country, but it certainly is Bob's, which is almost the same thing. Port Alberni's gift to the Canadian Forces came to Royal Roads in 1961, determined to become something--just what, he was not sure. In his second year there, he was twice a CFL and was on the basketball, volleyball and cross- country teams. At RMC he was prominent in volleyball, intermediate football and squadron sports. His appointment as CFTO of K Flight enabled him to institute charge accoimts for recruits, to whom he was always polite Che used to say please J. By this time a confirmed Chemical Engineer, he discovered in his senior year that he couldn't speak German. But this shouldn't slow him down, One of the mad gunners, Bob marvels that any place could be as flat a Shilo, which he secretly admits is as beautiful a summer resort as any in B.C. He will have many opportunities to enjoy that prairie air in the future, as his career in the Artillery will take him there many times. But as soon as he becomes Director of Artillery, he intends to move the Artillery School to B,C. Best of luck, Bob. P.R.L. 6401 JOSEPH JEAN-CLAUDE BELHUMEUR Ecole secondaire St-Joseph de Sorel Claude est ne le 5 mars 1943. I1 a eu la chance de passer la plus grande partie de sa jeunesse dans un site exceptionnel. En effet, il habitait Sorel dans une maison faisant face au grand fleuve ou il pouvait contempler Z1 son gre l'eau, les 'iles et les transatlantiques. Resultat: il a toujours garde un gofit special pour l'ondeg pas etonnant qu'il ait joint les rangs de la marine canadienne et qu'il y persevere toujours. On ne peut aborder Claude sans remarquer immeidiatement chez lui une qualite exceptionnelle: il s'entend bien avec tout le monde. Cela est sans doute du Qi son caractere franc, ouvert, expansif et aussi surtout a sa belle humeur. I1 sait voir le bon c6te des choses et des evenements de la vie quotidienne. Il possede une intelligence vive et tres ouverte. Vous pouvez lui parler d'art, de musique, de peinture ou de litterature aussi bien que de philosophie ou de politique. Il a aussi le sens pratiqueg il va jusqu'a etudier quelle voiture est la plus economique pour le jeune officier qui commence une carriere. S'il est gairde nature, ilxpeut aussi 'etre serieux quand les circonstances le demandent. X En resume, ses qualites lui ont deja valu un grand succes au CMR ou il a eu a remplir le deuxieme poste de l'escadre, lors du premier semestre eu derniere annee. Nous pouvons donc fonder les plus grands espoirs sur ce jeune homme quelle que soit la carriere qu'il choisira, CPJVIJ 6217 ROBERT GEORGE BELL Moose Jaw Central Collegiate Cl'6che , as he has been affectionately known during his stay at CSC, was born and raised in the Golden West and is mighty proud of his Saskatchewan heritage. In his high-school days, Bob was active in Army Cadets and so it was not surprising to see him set out one bright September morn to prepare himself for an army career at Royal Roads. Bob earned a place as a fine shot on the Roads Rifle Team and carried his talent to RMC, where he successfully made the DCRA rifle team. Bob is basically a happy-go-lucky type, who has managed to find much enjoyment in life at RMC Cmainly because he didn't bother to learn the ru1esJ We all lmow that his steady perserverance will rank him high inthe electrical-engineering class come graduation day and we wish him all the best in any future endeavour.

Ahem! On the lighter side of life Oise Cshort for Oiseauj is a good athlete, and has an excellent voice QCD, being a member of both the Glee Club and the Choir. Reg, an ex-Royal Rodent, has been hampered by a back injury for the last two years, but with natural drive Cand about two years of PlT D he has overcome this handicap, and now actively participates in all sports. Reg is very ambitious and has several goals, one of them based on the slender chance that Montreal will once again win the Stanley Cup. Reg has the drive and the personality to go far in any career, but he is limited by the fact that he comes from the prairies, and cheers for Montreal. Remember the old saying Big things come in small packages and Birdie sure has the small package. Well, Reg, you have the ability to succeed despite these serious draw- backs, so here is a hardy Good Luck Fel1a CYou'll need itj. D,L.C, 17 electrique de RMC, toujours souriant.
