7083 ANTHONY BLAKE VVYAND Sussex, England Tony was born in Crowborough, England, November 24, 1943. Up to the age of ten, he and his family shuttled back and forth between England and the Canadian Colonies. In 1953, the VVyands moved to Ottawa, and later to Camp Borden. Tony was promptly shipped off to Lakefield College School near Peterborough, Ontario. Here, he was head prefect during his last two years, while managing to win several top academic awards. It was at Lakefield that Tony first became interested in the gentlemanly art of sailing, a sport which he still constantly defends against the biting comments of football and hockey players. Tony joined the system at Royal Roads in the fall of 1962, During his Recruit Year he monopolized the academic awards, winning the Lieutenant-Governor's Medal and adding to his already impressive collection of books. His second year was a repeat performance on the academic front. Moreover, he was equally successful militarily finishing his period at Roads as CWC in the Honours Slate. The fact that Tony had no trouble in adapting to R.M.C. is attested to by the fact that he won the P. F. Fisher Memorial Trophy for the best all-round cadet in the Third Year. He was also appointed to the position of Cadet VVing Adjutant for his Senior Year. Always one to strive for the highest, Tony chose to serve in the Infantry Corps. He unwittingly abdicated from the elite, however, by making an unfortunate choice of regiments. We all wish Tony good luck in his career in the Canadian Guardlsijc 7 Tj 7 L-, L if K vp Q I L N ii ..,. 1, f Q vm' -.... 1 1.

7064 DAVID JOHN SKINNER Ottawa, Ontario Suffice it to say that L'Skins was born in 1944, and being of a service family, did considerable moving during his formative vears. Graduating from Fisher Park High School in Ottawa, Dave enrolled in R.M.C.'s answer to a prep school CRoyal Roadsl, bent on pursuing a career in the army. His previous military experience in both army cadets and the militia stood him in good stead in adjusting to the rigours of service life. As testimony to this adjustment he graduated from Royal Roads as DICWC. Arriving in Kingston, to which he was no stranger, having attended some high school here, Skins set about playing his Artsman's role with vigour. If he couldnlt. be found somewhere in the basement of the library unearthing Canadiana, he was almost sure to be in the PIT. He did, however, find time from his demanding schedule to express his many and' varied talents by playing Senior Football, and strumming rhythm-guitar for the Ascots, in both his third and fourth years. On the gridiron, Dave became known as a tough competitor, always at his best when he was carrying the ball, leaving would-be tacklers in his wake, In his Senior year Skins was made CSL of 4 Squadron, a job well suited to his stern but patient and fair nature. Under his able leadership, the squadron prospered as never before, winning numerous wing com- petitions. ' Upon graduation, Dave is off to nurture his second fhe's marrying the first? great passion, the Armoured Corps-from the vantage point of a posting to Germany. In his new job, which will demand lots of ulocal smoke and fancy footwork , we of the squadron and the graduating class wish him happiness and continued success.

Born on 2 April 1945 in a Linlithgow, Scotland, jim was the fourth of a family of seven children. VVhen he was nine, Jim's family came to Canada and settled in Calgary where he began to cultivate the 'clean-cut kid' image. Although 'jS's' first date was at Roads, one could say that he was forced into sex and since then he has left a trail of broken hearts from Victoria to Goose Bay. For his four years at CSC jim has been active in all sports. During the two years on the VVest coast he was an outstanding halfback on the soccer team and helped other rep teams such as basketball, hockey and rugger, On coming to RMC he continued his efforts directing them mainly towards soccer, intermediate hockey and the odd rugger game. Coupling his desire and experience in sports with his organizational ability, Jim was a natural choice for CVVSO, and although he has spent many a night as referee and judge over his domain, 'the Boss' has done an outstanding job for the wing this year. jim was a member of the last group of RCAF pilots to train on Chipmunks during summer training and since that humble beginning he has been counting the days until he will graduate and become a true 'H.P.' On May 28, jim and his 'Cat' will be heading West and we all wish him the best of luck in his future career. CA word of warning Loser ll, - some day you'll get caught! J. K.E ,S.

6873 CLIVE ADDY Ottawa, Ont. On October 23, 1944, a small urban city in England witnessed an event which was largely overlooked due to the general state of confusion prevailing because of the war. However, undaunted by the many leers and jeers The Nose or Hose Nosew has since been leading an irregular life. To begin with, he moved to Ottawa, the town that Charlotte made, and when he reached the age of military consent he applied for CSC Che apparently was sick of the civilian practice of co-educationl. God forgive the Army Selection Board: Clive was accepted as a cadet and sent to CMR where he immediately began what could be labelled ,a campaign for the benefit of the physically handicapped. Firstly, showing to be a well-above-average cadet,he secured the position of DXCWC in his second year. Then he went on to prove himself to be the best defensive player on the CMR Basketball team and eventually with the RMC Redmen Cto be an offensive star one must to able to see the basketb. He also participated actively in swimming, water-polo, football, wrestling, and folksinging with the 69'ers Cdevelops neck musclesb. In his fourth year at RMC he was given the rank of CSO with the appointment of CFL. Thus Clive's campaign has succeeded for he has proven that even the handicapped can make it through CSC i I- R.G 6993 FREDERICK NORMAN ALLUM London, Ont. Once upon a time, almost twenty-two years ago, the Almighty surveyed His creation, Earth. It was a utopia, but the female of the species there seemed unhappy. He decided to do something about this, and so, on August 12, 1944, in a little burg called Kitchener, was born God's gift to women: Frederick Norman fS.F.J Allum. Rick began earnestly doing His work , during his high school days at Downsview Collegiate. Upon leaving high school he decided to widen the scope of his mission and set out for Royal Roads. There, he managed to accomplish the impossible, squeezing in with his life's work two years of education, golfing and rugger. However, feeling that heid accomplished his western assignment, he decided that it was again time to change Hsceneryf' Arriving at R.M.C., he carried on his ugruelling work in the Toronto area on every available occasion, VVhile here, Rick crowded into the between-weekends period an Honours Economics and Commerce course as well as rugger, golf, rep boxing, and many inter-squadron sports. After graduation, Rick hopes to do post-grad studies in social welfare. No matter.what Rick does, however, we are sure that he will succeed, managing to squeeze it into his social life somehow. J. R. B. 6749 I ANDRE ARCHAMBAULT Ecole Secondaire le Plateau, Montreal, Que. 'Andre est me le 8 novembre 1943 at Montreal. ll se fait vite remarquer par son caratere belliqueux qui lui vaut le surnom de Ti-Coq . C'est au debut de septembre 1961 qu'il entre au College Militaire Royal de St-Jean et c'est la qu'il se realise pleinement, Des son arrivee, on remarque sa perseverance et l'interet qu'il porte at ses etudes. Rien ne lui fait peur et bientet le succes lui sourit. En venant a R.M.C., il choisit le fameux genie electrique et tres tent, se hisse a la tete de sa classe. D'un esprit tres loyal, il se merite les plus hautes positions dans les cadres des colleges militaires. Il excelle a l'escrime qu'il considere comme un sport unable . C'est durant son premier entrainement d'ete dans liaviation qu'il rencontre Jocelyne, Savait-il que cette rencontre allait le conduire au mariageP Touiours est-il que la ceremonie aura lieu peu apres lacollation des diplomes. S'il y met autant d'ardeur qu'a ses etudes, il sera bientot entoure d'une belle famille canadienne, tout en continuant a se documenter sur l'histoire des civilisations. A Andre qui a conquis le respect de tous, nous souhaitons bonne chance. P J. . 6476 SERGE ARPIN Fabreville, P.Q. Le 10 iuin 1942, naissait Serge.

John was born in Toronto, September 27, 1943. After graduating from Oakwood Col- legiate Institute he went to Royal Roads, where in his senior year, he served time as the Cadet Wing Band Master, playing a cool trumpet. John spent his third year at R.M.C. in the Stone Frigate Military Academy, but, as he shone in squadron football and hockey, he was brought up by 3 Squadron for his final year. During his years as a cadet, JAH served well as rep Soccer Manager, both at Royal Roads and at R,M.C. He therefore qualifies as one of the few true no-glory athletes. John, who graduates in General Science, is in the infantry, namely, in the R22eR fthe Van Doos J where he can improve his hobby - speaking French. VVe wish our pleasant Beetle', the best of luck in his future career. J. R. B.
