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. Que ce soit au hockey, au football, devant la TV ou devant une Nous te souhaitons tous bonne chance, Ben, da.ns ta future carriere d'ingenieur en telecommunication,

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.

6370 J EAN-LOUIS BOLDUC Ecole secondaire de Malartic En septembre 1960, notre ami J ean-Louis entreprend l'etape la plus importante de sa vie d'6tudiant. En effet, apres avoir termine son cours secondaire a Malartic, il met le cap au sud etfviente-echouer a St-Jean. Le College Militaire Royal devient son port d'attache pendant les trois annees qui suivent. Ensuite il fait route vers Kingston, ou, tout en continuant ses etudes, il prend une part active Z1 plusieurs activities: Cercle Francais, Club Champlain, Club Newman etc. Pendant l'ete il suit un cours en aeronautique. La peinlture et les sports de piste et pelouse occupent la plus grande partie de ses loisirs. , , , , Jean-Louis tekrmine maintenant ses etudes en genie mecanique. Sa victoire finale est assuree. Tous nos voeux de succes l'accompagnent au cours des annees a venlr. CJ .P .MJ 5990 DAVID MURRAY BORROWMAN John Rennie High School Dave was born in Winnipeg on July 2, 1942. His home is now in Montreal-Pointe Claire, but he lived in Toronto for a short period. Dave entered CSC by way of CMR, and was able to take full advantage of the fact that he was so close to home. This, combined with his participation in the rep swimming and water-polo teams, gained him distinction as a rep' weekender. Despite these demands on his time, however, he still managed to do a fine job as editor of the Defile and in his position as CFL. At RMC, Dave has been working towards a degree in Civil Engineering, thus qualifying himself for the post he assumed in his final year as president of the E.I.C. He has continued to be active in both representative and squadron sports, and now capably leads his squadron as CSSO. Dave is in the RCN. This might facilitate his ambition to remain single for at least seven years, since a girl in every port makes settling-down undesirable. ' Dave's quiet good humour and common sense attitude have made him well-liked and respected by all at RMC. We all wish him the very best in whatever course he may chart. M.O. 6434 x , JOSEPH ROGER BOULIANE K Academie Commerciale de Chicoutimi Apres un sejour plus ou moins long dans diverses ecoles, on retrouve Roger en septembre 1960 au CMR, dans les rangs des recrues. C'est quelque peu difficile au debut, mais il prend vite le taureau par les cornes Cson CSCD et se meta la tache avec sa boite de cirage et son linge at epousseter. Notre heros Cquisau'il faut l'appeler ainsij n'est peut-Gtre pas un champion dans tous les sports, mais il sait se distinguer a la natation, au soccer et a la course. Il faut dire que dans ce dernier sport, il a eu un en- trainement intensif a CMR autour du terrain d'exercice. I Roger est jovial et sait se faire apprecier de tous. Il possede aussi un tres bon moral Cparticuliere- ment soutenu par deux lettres hebdomadaires de St-Jeanj. ll a d'ailleurs une devise qu'il pratique re- ligieusementg Puisque les voyages forment la jeunesse, pourquoi ne pas Voyager entre Kingston et St- Jean . Roger sortira du college avec un dipl'6me en genie mecanique et ira rejoindre les rangs de RCEME, Tous ses compagnons de classe lui souhaitent bonne chance. CR.G.D 6594 JOHN D'ARCY BOULTON Trenton High School One does not have to look for a long time to know where John first saw the light of day: it was, as he often says, Out West, All in all 1942 was not a bad year for the Boultons, even though they had to listen to little John's cries. To console him, his parents took him with them all around Canada. Actually, there are very few places in the country that John has not visited or lived. He even says quite proudly that he survived two years with the Quebecois . John, by his friendly and generous attitude, will remain in the mind of everyone as a sincere a.nd generous friend. Being himself always happy, he is the type of person who will maintain the morale of troops during the hard days. Being a good athlete with more than his share of spirit and combativeness, John was a good team-man for the Frigate. He was also a member of the judo team, where he learned self-defence against the assumed weaker sex. Serious and realistic, John is now ready to go to his regiment, which will be the Canadian Guards. Here he will serve his cotmtry and probably later on realize his own ambitions. Good luck in the Army, John, and the best of luck in life. P.M.M. 6595 ALBERT BRUCE CHARLES BOWLES Humnerside Collegiate Institute Bruce came wandering into this world way back in June of 1942, making his home in Toronto. After a carefree and happy existence as a member of the bubble gum set, he entered Royal Roads and a man's world, and since then he's usually been found with one girl or another. After struggling through two years of Engineering, Bruce finally saw the light and switched to Arts. Determined to grade in Honours, Bruce is also hoping for a posting to the 3RCHA in Winnipeg so he can try for an MA, When not engaged in the past, he is usually found painting. As the Chairman of the Arts Club, he has managed to tied it through a lean year--as those closely connected with the club well know. Having little interest in sports, Bruce preferred the fine arts, his flower collections, and his girls, and with such interests he has managed to fit in wherever he goes, Well, Bruce, all the best in the future and keep working. One day you'll make the top. D CC.R. 18
