6358 DAVID LOUIS BRUCE Macdonald High School For as long as he can remember, Dave has found his home in or about Montreal, although annual excursions to the Maritimes must have confused the picture at times. Perhaps the contact with the salt air had some effect, for after a summer stint in the RCAF CAUXJ, he suddenly denied all pretentions of normality and entered CMR as a Naval cadet. Dave's varied interests at College have included photography, journalism, and debating. This year he has been kept busy both as Captain of the rep fencing team and as Chairman of the International Relations Club. It is not all work, however, for the meets and conferences have taken him to such places as West Point and Montreal. Now Dave can look back on five years of university and four summers which gave him a look at the Islands of Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Burmuda. He won't have any more problems deciding which service offers the most advantages, for soonqthere will be only one to choose. With his cheerful nature and aptitude for being just a bit different, we're sure that he has something to look forward to wherever he many go. We wish him all the best--and smooth sailing. ' G,H,S, 6226 STEVEN ROGER GEORGE WILLIAM BURRIDGE St. Catherines Collegiate and Vocational Institute When Steve made the momentous decision to join CSC in 1960, the gain was all to Royal Roads. Although Steve started out as a future scientist, he decided that the great rewards are not in science but in knowing what to do with the dollar. He therefore joined the ranks of the commerce squad at RMC, As well as being money-minded, Steve is also sports-minded--playing rugger at Roads and taking part in intermediate and senior football and gymnastics here at RMC. In the summer Steve has been seen navigating some of those venerable Exploders out of Winnipeg as well as piloting the streets of Winnipeg in his car, As any top-deck resident of LaSalle can tell you, Steve is a hi-fi and electronics addict, being perhaps one of the best-equipped cadets in this respect, The good wishes of '65 go with you, Steve, as you head off on a most certainly successful career with the RCAF. R,J.J. 6339 PHILIP STEWART BURY MacDonald High School From an early age Phil was fired with a desire, probably because of a premature exposure to Kipling gt Q., to be an army officer. After breezing through high school with plenty of spare time and energy for such outside activities as Army Cadets, Phil set off for CMR, His easy going, friendly manner made him liked by allg but he overcame this handicap to become a CFL in his senior year, . Phil has never regretted hanging up his drill boots to come to RMC. A promising candidate for Honours Arts, he forsook the lotus blossoms for the monkish life of an Engineering-Physics student and has borne up well under its electrical tribulations. Though he regards himself as a No Gore Athlete , he was active in squadron football and has been a member of long standing on the fencing team. Phil is such a keen infanteer that even three years at the School of Insanity have failed to discourage him, he remains firm in his intentions to throw in his lot with the Black Watch. Best of luck, Phil! CC.W.C.D 6600 DOUGLAS LEY BUSCHE Southern Huron District High School Doug began his CSC career on a somewhat notorious note. He enrolled with the lowest average accepted from Ontario, and travelled a notorious academic path as one of the original thirteen General Science cadets from Royal Roads. As a.n avid hockey and soccer player, he has been a valued member of both Squadron and College teams. One of the few cadets to have spent two out of three summers at home, Doug is always willing to expound on the advantages of being a pilot. Flying seems to agree with him though as he was in the top group of flyers each summer. As CFL of G Flight in his final year, Doug was the keener element and the only advocate of Mustangs to reside in Sleepy Hollow. For the future, --continuation of training at Moose Jaw and then high hopes of a tour on C F' l04's. Best of luck, Doug! G.U. 6601 ERNEST STANLEY CHARLES CABLE Cluppewa Secondary School Ern was born intoa military family on September 9, 1941, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Since then he has managed to call every province except Newfoundland his home. During the past seven years he has lived in North Bay. His father being a veteran of thirty-five years in the RCAF, Ern naturally chose the Gentlemen's Service, arriving at Royal Roads in the fall of 1961. His football experience stood him in good stead and he played for the First XV rugger team. He also had a side interest in sailing. Upon coming to RMC, Ern was a natural choice for the senior football team. He managed during the off-season to support 5 Squadron in floor hockey, water polo, and tug-of-war. For his determination, Ern was appointed DXCFI.. of N Flight and can always be seen urging the members of his flight on to greater efforts. Upon graduation Ernie plans to continue his navigator training CLXRJ in Winnipeg and hopes for a posting to Maritime Air Command. The Class of '65 wishes you a successful career and smooth flying in the future. G,vB, 20

6515 JAMES ROSS BOYD Nelson McIntyre Collegiate A dark-headed driver from Ma.nitoba's metropolis, Weiner has what we all want-a thirst for knowledge. But as anyone who has attended an RMC ball knows, this thirst does not stop at the limits of learning. During the past four years, the Weiner was either pitting or bopping , even so, the class standing of this human typewriter did not suffer, as was manifested by his leading the class of Chemical Engineering in 3rd year. In sports he also excelled. As a result of regularly attending the Saturday Nite dances, Jim developed footwork that led him into the semi-finals of the recruit boxing championships. Under the surface of this complacent Westerner lies a tremendous reserve of energy which bursts forth every day after class. As Marker circulation manager, he became the centre of frantic activity which plunged his room into complete turmoil. Extra drill, orders parades, and coffee housing took the rest of his free time. And so to graduation singing Rule Britainia for Jim, who will become what he hopeswillbea long line of boiserous Boyds to graduate from RMC, T.W.T.C. 6517 RICHARD E,DIWARD BRIESE University of British Columbia Rick, as he is known, started 'his life as the protege of a wandering Air Force family in Calgary, Alberta. He picked up his early schooling at many Air Force stations, finishing his high school in Chatham N,B,, before qualifying for RMC with a senior rnatric from UBC, Mal content with his start in civy-u , quiet, redheaded, Rick applied for RMC and stuck it out from beginning to end. While at the college he managed to acquire his crossed rifles and he has been a valuable member of the squadron football team. Now the RCAF is to lay final claim to its possession and send Rick off wandering the country some more as a TechfAE officer. The ease with which he has accomplished his B,Sc. degree at RMC shows that the future can only hold further success for him. We are all behind you, Rick. Good luck. B.S.G. 6582 BRYAN BROOMFIELD Vernon Senior High School Bryan was brought up in Vernon in the Okanagan Valley, where he spent his summers acting as Deputy Sheriff in and for the County of Yale, British Columbia. This motivated him towards a career in the Services and allowed him to develop those officer-like qualities for which he has been nicknamed Boomer , At Roads, Boomer was a member of the First XV rugger team, and at RMC he was a member of the rep football team. Bryan has spent his last three summers investigating the skies of western and northwestern Canada as a student navigator. Bryan has topped his classin navigation and no doubt will go on to become a top-rate, if frustrated, pilot. Academically, Boomer has always done well, statistics is the field in which he excels and he can, upon demand, quote NHL player and team statistics for the last several years. Bryan is looking forward to resuming his flying cal eer this summer, an endeavour in which he will succeed as he has succeeded in the Services Colleges. D.B.A. 6598 GEORGE ARTHUR STUART BROWN William Aberhart High School-Calgary Hailing from the largest city Carea-wisej of Canada, George became a native-born Calgarian on April 19, 1943. In 1961 he entered the Canadian Services College, Royal Roads, as an RCN cadet under the alias of Gas Brown. Holding the Award of Merit and the title of RLSS Instructor, George had no trouble becoming a 'star' of the Rep water-polo team. As a staunch supporter of Fraser Flight, he set a college record in the 100-yard breast stroke at the annual swim meet. In 1963, George decided to give up Royal Roads and move on to RMC, For his athletic prowess on the water-polo and swimming teams he was awarded the ra.nk of CFSO, With his uninhibited humour, he takes the academic difficulties of Electrical Engineering in his stride. When not caught up in the intricacies of the department of mental frustration , George spends his 'spare' time skin-diving, pursuing lg femmes and following such diversions as the EIC and the IEEE, George has set about to prove the theory that the best sailors come from the prairies, and in this he will not depend on the goodluck wishes of his friends. 6160 GORDON ALAN BROWN Fergus District High School Some say that June 23rd, 1941, was a peaceful, sunny day in Fergus, Ontario--that is, until Gord broke the silence with his first indignant yell, things haven't been the same since. Gord spent his boyhood days in Fergus teaching the local tribes how to play lacrosse a.nd serving for five years in the local Army Cadet Corps.Not liking the colour of the khaki uniform, Gord arrived at RMC in September, 1960, as a bewildered naval recruit. Gord's achievements at RMC have been noteworthy, particularly in athletics. He is a member of the College hockey and football teams and also plays intra-mural lacrosse as well as a variety of other sports. Unfortunately, in his recruit year, Gord's academic prowess didn't reach the level of his athletic achievements, a.nd he found himself starting all over again the next year. Since then, though, the only way has been up and Gord has stood high in the Honours Atlas group, notwithstanding certain extra-curricular pursuits with the goat-snatching club , He is CSSO of SFMA this year. Gord deserves the best and with his abilities he'll achieve it. With all sincerity, Gord, I wish you the best in the Silent Service. V,V,A, 19

6602 JAMES ERNEST CALE Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute With a nickname like Jacques you might expect Jim to be a master of French and like all the boys in French 20 he is. A product of Royal Roads, Jim is a naval man. I mean a guy would have to be completely devoted to spend the odd Saturday evening at the Naval Veteran's Association. The success which Jim has enjoyed in summer training is an indication of his keen interest in life at sea. Like all general engineers, Jim is keen enough to appreciate the interest each department takes in furthering his education,-especially the E,E, department. Guelph has always been famous for athletes, and Jacques , true to form, is captain of 1 squadron's volleyball squad. I know you cou1dn't ask for a better shipmate than Jim Calel JFC 6438 N I X BEXNOYT CANTIN C'est a Quebec, ou il vlent au monde le 2 aout 1942, que notre ami passe sa jeunesse. Il devient!leveur de poids, reconfort moral pour un groupe de jeunes mexicaines. Puis expert en photographie aerienne dans le Grand Nord ou il acquiert toutes sortes de connaissances- Possedant deja l' experience militaire de la reserve avec le corps des signaux, il entre au CMR en septembre '60 et decouvre quelques mois plus tard celle avec qui il espere partager sa vie. I Ben airne discuter et personne ne peut lui en remontrer, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de mecanique. Ses activities sont multiples, surtout en fin de semaine. C'est un travailleur assidu. Ses succes en sciences generales semblent lui avoir ete utiles en photographie. I1 est sportif aussi, mais il a certaines preferences, l' escrime d'abord et avant tout. Mais il n'est tout a fait heureux qu'au volant de sa petite voiture qui prend elle-meme la route ou son coeur l'appelle. De vpl en vol, nous esperons que l'aviation l'enverra bientot a Rochester pour le cours de photographie dont il reve depuis longtemps. CP.G.D 6471 DEREK ROLAND GRAY CARRIER MacDonald High School They say it happened in' Darjeeling, India in the year of '43, Derek was born in the mystic Orient but he left these romantic lands before he was old enough to join the Khyber Rifles,However, after stops in England, Toronto, a.nd Baie D'Urfe, he did join the RCN, By then Derek had picked up enough reflexes to conquer most any sport including motorcycle-riding. Despite demands on his time made by rep football, hockey, soccer, track and field, and harrier, Derek leads a well-rounded life. He likes folk songs, parties and dancing, James Bond novels, and group discussions on a regular basis. It should be noted that Derek is one of the few cadets from across the square who hasn't become a Frigate Bigot. In spite of this, he was appointed a DXCFL. It is also remembered that in the summer of '63 Derek set a new high in the tactful handling of Cadet Training Officers by Cadet Captains, by wearing the calipers for HMCS Stettler. The guys wish Derek every success in the future and we know that our hopes are not unfoiuided. CR.K.M.D 6603 DEAN LAVERNE CARRIERE Stony Plain Memorial High School Dino came into this world on March 15, 1943 but fortunately these Ides of March brought only good to the world in the form of Dean's winning smile and warm personality, which have captured all who have met him. He spent his later school days in the small western outpost of Spruce Grove, Alberta, where he saw the light and followed his star to Royal Roads and CSC. Here Dean was soon recognized as a true sportsman and the ability seems to have followed him to RMC, where he was a great asset on the 2 Squadron football and basketball teams. He was also a regular member of the pick-up rugger team which seemed to continually triumph over challengers from Queen's University. Dean's enthusiasm for sports is typical of the ability and spirit with which he tackles all things. Dean is a member of the Order of General Scientists and as if this wasn't enough, is also an RCAF flyboy and will long be remembered for his unconventional circuits. The Air Force can only be bettered with' its recent acquisition and we wish him the best of luck. CK.W.C.D 6604 JAMES FRANKLIN CARRUTHERS Drumheller High School Fats is one of those cheerful, smiling characters that it is always nice to have around. He comes to us from Drumheller, Alberta, andis always ready and willingto expound on the virtues of life in that Great Western Province. When he arrived at Royal Roads, he was as dumbfounded as the rest of us. However, it didn't take him long to figure out the system. He rapidly made many friends and pushed ahead in academics. While at Roads he pursued his hobby of photography and spent many hours in the darkroom. Since coming to RMC, Jim expounds on the virtues of electrical engineering as well as on those of Alberta. He ls dedicated and has been quite active in EIC and IEEE, becoming Vice-President of the latter this year. I He has also been doing his bit as a sports officer while leading the boys on the rep PT Team. His outside interests are now centered on one of Kl.ngston's nurses. His summers have been marked with considerable success and Jim is hoping to become a member of the West Coast Yacht Squadron. With his cheerful disposition he is sure to be very successful. Good luck, Jim. J .E.C. 21
