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. CQue voulez-vous, les ealculatrices electroniques n'exis- taient pas alors.J Il commenga sa carriere academique au Jardin de l'Enfance de Rigaud, pour aboutir a l'ecole secondaire Villemaire, apres avoir visite une bonne douzaine d'ecoles de toutes sortes. Depuis treize ans qu'il etait cadet de l'air ou il a meme atteint le grade de sous-officier brevete de 2e classe, Serge revait d'appartenir un jour a cette grande ecole de formation qu'etait alors CMR. Enfin, au mois de septembre 1960, il y arrivait. Accueilli aimablement comme le veut la tradition, il aborda avec ardeur, quoiqu'un peu fatigue, l'annee preparatoire, Malgre tout il y survecut et si bien qu'il se merita le poste de DCFL en deuxieme annee. Grand amateur d'aviation, Serge gagna ses ailes de pilote prive pendant sa carriere de cadet de l'air et en fut tellement enthousiasme qu'il poursuit maintenant son entrainement de pilote dans IIARC. Malgre sa formation militaire et son caractere scientifique, Serge a tout de meme garde un gout pour les belles choses: musique semi-classique, Claudette, musique semi-populaire, Claudette, Ruth, et combien d'autres dont on ne se souvient plus. 6955 JOHN ARTHUR HAROLD BAILEY Toronto, Ont. 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.

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.

6958 JOHN RUSSELL BARKER Sudbury, Ont. John was born and raised in the wilds of Northern Ontario atla place called Sudbury. On graduation from high school, he looked around and then decided to give military life a try. Therefore, he thereupon applied for and was sent to Royal Roads in beautiful Victoria- by-the-Sea. N'Vhile there, he served in many capacities and, along the way, picked off the unexplainable nickname Sark . After two years of this life, he decided on a change of scenery and came to R.M,C., being sent into exile in the SFMA, where he served his squadron as a soccer and hockey player. Nevertheless, he didn't forget his fellow cadets, for during his stay here he has been leader of the O.C.U., a Sunday School teacher, and a member of the Chess Club. Sark , a student of Politics and Economics, is in the RCOC, but, at this time, he is awaiting a decision from the authorities to enable him to study theology at Queen's for the next three years and then enter the Chaplaincy. Whether it be as an RCOC officer or as a Chaplain, we wish Sark the best, knowing that he will do well in whatever career he may choose. J,A,H,B, 6960 THOMAS GEORGE BEALE Regina, Sask. Young Thom was born in Halifax, October 25, 1944. From the very day he was born he had a yearning to go to Royal Roads, and so, at the ripe old age of nine months, he set out for the West. Except for a brief sixteen-year stop in Regina, 'LTom Chucker travelled straight to the Castle, At Roads The Rook excelled in rugger, playing on the First XV, and in hockey, being a member of the rep squad. He brought his swiftness of foot and booming slapshot to R.M.C. and was a natural as the right-winger on the famous Rook Line of the Inter- mediate Hockey Team. In his final year he was unfortunately sidelined because the inability of the college to find a hockey sock big enough to harness the Golden Knee . However, he took misfortune in stride and tried to build the rest of his body to match his over-sized knee. In the process he became founder and president of a select group known as the f'Tattoo Weight Chuckersn. T.G. will always be remembered for such things as shark-skinned shoes, chemical engineering, and certain amusing but unmentionable incidents. A hopeless - I mean hopeful- naval pilot, Tom will undoubtedly be a success. The class of '66 Cbe they Navy, Army or Air Forcel sincerely wish you all the best in future years, George Chuck , P M. .W. 6795 JEAN GILLES f'VlNCE BELLEGARDE Hyacinthe, P.Q. Vince est ne le 24 novembre 1943 a St.Hyacinthe. Sa premiere nuit, dit-on fut penible et arrosee d'un deluge de larmes. Tous se demandaient quelle etait la raison de cette peine. On ne l'apprit que plus tard. Vince voulait une paire de skis. ll n'a pas change. Auiourd'hui encore, c'est l'amateur de ski le plus mordu qui soit. Pour ce qui est des sports pratiques au College, c'est la natation et le soccer qu'il prefere. Vince est tacilement impressionable. Le prepose au recrutement pour l'Aviation qui lui brossa un charmant tableau de la vie militaire n'eut pas de mal a l'enregimenter. On le re- trouva done ei St-Jean au mois de septembre '61. ll y perdit vite ses illusions. Accule au mur, il en prit son parti et se mit au travail. Son desir de reussir n'a pas flechi depuis. Une personnalite ioviale et amicale lui attire tout de suite amis et amies. Vince a su se faire connaitre et apprecier dans tous les domaines, car il se donne tout entier a tout ce qu'il entreprend. Au terme de son cours en genie civil, il reioindra le corpsgdes ingenieurs de l'Aviation pour la duree de son service et peut-etre y restera-t-il. Nous lui souhaitons bonne chance et beaucoup de succes. M.C. 6961 JAMES JOHN BENDER Gananoque, Ont. J,J.'l got to Royal Roads in 1962, and for the next two years was noted for his ability to stay out of trouble while at the same time becoming famous for engineering many sky- larks. In fact, he was really too famous, being blamed whenever a skylark was pulled off, whether he did it or not. At RMC, they though they had the answer to J.J., they sent him to the Frigate. In his fourth year, J.J. retaliated by becoming the Frigate's CSTO. Throughout his four years in the system, Jim has often been involved in class activities. In second year, he was President of the Senior's Gunroom, and in his fourth year, Vice- President of the Senior Term Mess. His ability to get along with people yet get the job done has made him both popular and effective in these positions. A man of strong opinions, Jim has never been afraid to stand up and say exactly what he thinks, nor has he ever hesitated to act in accordance with his beliefs. This has not endeared him to various people, but Jim has never sought to curry favour from anyone, Jim goes to the Signals Corps, and it seems obvious that he will do as good a job there as he has at CSC. D A H 6737 X GERARD ANDRE BERGER Cowansville, P.Q. Andre est ne a Iberville en mai 1944. C'etait au printemps. Depuis lors il n'a iamais cesse de manifester la ioie de vivre de cette saison . . . Surtout a Saint-Jean! Cela se com- prend, il etait a deux pas de chez lui . . . et de chez elle? Au College, son sens pratique lui fait choiser le commerce et les sciences economiques. Sportif a ses heures, il s'adonne a de nombreux sports dont l'escrime et le tennis, pour lesquels il represente le College a plusieurs reprises, Mais son occupation favorite . . . apres les etudes bien entendu . . . c'est une iolie jeune fille de . . . Saint-Jean, Sous des dehors plutot pragmatiques se cache une ame d'artiste, ses talents de decorateur se manifestent dans la mise en scene de plusieurs pieces presentees par les cadets. Andre s'est engage dans l'Aviation Royale Canadienne car il desire ardem- ment devenir pilote. Je suis convaincu qulil reussira. I Au meilleur des Bons Vivants , ie souhaite beaucoup de succes. A. M.
