I 6898 RICHARD SHOLEM JACOB COHEN Montreal, P.Q. In the tradition of Canadian history - compromise mixed with respect for minorities - Richard was early marked for the appointment of CVVC of R.M.C. Dickie, as he is known to his close friends had his first brilliant debut on February 27, 194-1, head first in a blaze of glory. One would think that he would have burned himself out early, being top athelete and a prefect at Northmount, but with a remaining flicker he joined the militia - the Royal Canadian I-Iussars. After graduating from Northmount, he worked as a deckhand on a freighter to Europe. Eventually his travels ended in Israel. Between Working and shooting, he found time to spend a semester at the I-Iebrew University of Jerusalem. Dick returned to Canada in 1961 and successfully failed his C.M.R. entrance exams. I-Ie was, however, eagerly accepted at McGill, where he joined the COTC as an infantry-cadet. During this year, he applied for ROTP and in 1962 was sent to RMC. Hence he was highly successful in all facets of College life, including such fields as athletics, dramatics, and skylarks. In his final year he was not only co-captain of RMC's Foo-tball Team but also Cadet Wing Commander. To top off a remarkable Senior year he won an Athlone Fellowship, and was selected by the Princes Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. You have done a fine job, Dick and the best of luck in the future. A.B.W.

M - fgw i.:.J .K at R0 TE 66 This year the Class of 66 was faced with a -delemma: What would we be remembered by in the years to come, what would our contribution be, would we leave a plaque, a trophy, or would we again darken our halls with stained glass? After many meetings and various discussions we came to the conclusion that our Class Project would have to be something decorative and useful Cnot to say earthyj. Looking around the College grounds, it became obvious to those in charge of the Project that something had to be done about the ugly yellow path leading from Lens Lane to Massey Hall, a path which was cut by the very people who had a dilemma to solve. It was decided that our contribution would not only be useful but amendatory. Hence ROUTE 66 was conceived and eventually, after walking and stomp- ing over many obstacles, laid. It is hoped that our gift to the Cadet Wing will last as long as our memory o'f the College and that all those who use it will appreciate its convenience.

6903 TERRY LEWIS DOYLE Nanton, Alta. In the early summer of the year 1962, Terry Lewis Doyle mounted a western steer and began to trek eastward. In the month of September of the same year, Terry with the steer practically dead beneath him, decided to terminate his voyage at Royal Military College. Two significant events occurred that first day. Terry received his first charge and the college kitchen received a four-year supply of beef. During the years that ensued, Terry managed to adjust to his strange eastern surroundings. In the course of events, he tamed an eastern woman who in turn will take him into captivity right after graduation, Terry was one of those few at RMC who knew how to combine high military, academic,and athletic standards. His reward was an appointment as CSL of 5 Squadron, an appointment which turned out to be gratifying for those closely associated with him. A member of the Senior Hockey Team, which beat VVest Point, Terry repre- sented the spirit and determination that resulted in victory. In short, Terry has become a civilized easterner. The pilots of the Air Force will find him in their ranks next year. There he will become a gain- and a problem. Good luck, Terry. 6908 BARRY MICHAEL GRACE Ottawa, Ont. VVhat do they say about june babies? They say june babies should go to R.M.C. So, on that warm june day in 1944, Barry immediately packed his bags, marched out of the maternity ward and set off for that hallowed military college. He bravely thrashed his way through high school in Ottawa, graduating as an Ontario Scholar in 1962, Coming from a Service family, he was well trained in the Principles of VVar. Applying these, he proceeded on to his goal in Kingston. From the day Barry first doubled on to the R.M.C. parade square until the day he marched off, he has never failed to give his best. Barry, always full of drive and determination, has tackled such sports as gymnastics and harriers. He has in turn been tackled in intermediate football. Ever ready to lend a friendly ear and a warm smile, he has made many friends both inside and outside the college. ln recognition for his outstanding efforts, he was the perfect choice for DXCYVC in his senior year. Displaying the true R.Nl.C. spirit, Barry has gone on an extended recruiting campaign. Besides adding his brother to the college roster, he has infiltrated the hollowed walls of K.G.H. in order to expand the Grace household by one more member lfor the presentl. Showing that he can handle all sides of the life here at the college, Barry has maintained his high academic standards, which have won him a National Research Council Bursary. He will be going to the University of Tor- onto in the fall to study for his Master's degree in Physics. U VVhen he finishes his post-graduate work, Barry, being a Gunner by trade, will be reioining the Fourth Regiment of the RCHA. ln this, as in everything you do, Barry, we all wish vou the best of luck. D-L-M- 7UO7 jAMES TERRANCE OLIVER JONES Markham, Ont. Terry llStump graced the world with his presence on May 14, 1942 and spent the first few years of his early life making life miserable for his parents. After he had completed high school, his father decided that the thriving metropolis of Markham was too small for both of them, so they packed their bags and Terry spent a year and a half teaching the good life to the iet set in Europe. Returning to Markham and finding that the town had IlOt grown at all, off he went to Royal Roads and a career in the RCN. At Roads he spent two years trying to keep ahead of the professors in the classroom and his squadron on the square. During the summers he cut a swath up and down the Pacific seaboard of the U.S.A. and thus gained the distinction of being the only cadet in Hawaii to get his uniform wet from the waist up in the swimming pool. In his third year of Canservcol, he came to R.M.C, and supported the big red 2 Squadron so well on the football field and in the pool that they gave it to him for his senior year. Although his schedule has been crammed full this year Cher name is Diannel, he still manages to find time to keep up his reading in his Honours English course and to exhort his squadron to higher endeavours in their battle for the left of the line. Upon graduation, Terry plans a flight into matrimony Cthe big date is june 41 and as a sideline he will include Navy pilot-training-if he can still see out of the cockpit. I speak for our whole class when I congratulate a guy whose excellent Sense of humour and wit has brigtened all our lives at one time or other. XVe wish both him and his wife-to-be every success and the best of luck in the future. M DC
