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.

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.

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.

6965 JAMES RICHARD BIRD Atikokan, Ont. jim, more commonly known as VVazo , entered the world on May 8, 1943 in Victoria, B.C. After spending most of his earlier days in several picturesque northern Ontario towns, the Waz found himself, in September 1962, travelling to Royal Roads and a career in the RCAF. At Roads jim was a prominent participant in all sports, being especially successful with the rep Soccer Team. His witty, often cynical, sense of humour, plus his tours as P.O,D., will be remembered by all of us for years to come. After a memorable summer at Moose jaw, the VVaz arrived at RMC, where he again enjoyed great success in all phases of athletics - not to mention the other activities he pursued. He was a member of the group which decided to shun the drabness of countless formulae for a closer look at Keynes and fellow economists. As a result of his hard work, he earned the position of C.S.C. this year, much to the horror of the first three years. We know your future will be bright, Waz, and we wish you the best of luck in- your endeavours. W!! Kelly joined the Borrowman clan on 26 February, 1944. From the very beginning he was . firmly attached to the clan which was at that time settled in Winnipeg, and followed it in an eastward trek that came to rest just short of Montreal-in Pointe Claire. By this time the clan had gained additional members and stood at seven: Matriarch, Patriarch, and five sons. Under the stern guidance of the Matriarch and Patriarch, Kelly was trained early in the gentle arts of bridge and wrestling. Day by day Kelly waxed bigger and stronger and one day he decided that it was time to set out on the great adventure of life. He joined the navy . . . I His first ship was HMCS Cartier of the CMR Squadron in St. jean, where he emerged from obilvion for numerous feats: he could tell the world's worst jokes without even trying, he could swim four hundred yards without even stoppingg he could save money, In the summers he travelled the surface of the earth fVVillhemshaven to VVaikiki on 5516 a week!! Bon voyage, Kelly and Penny. A 6963 RONALD ALBERT BERGERON Cornwall, Ontario Ron started his army career at Royal Roads, a long way from his hometown of Corn- wall. uSauf , as he is still called by many of his Roadent buddies, has always been an avid sports enthusiast. A few of the sports in which he has led teams to success are soccer, squash, wrestling, rugger and volleyball. An ardent hunter. Ron has enjoyed many weekends in the wilds as his tale-telling testifies. Yet in spite of his great love for sports and his enjoyment of sky- larks fthe most memorable of many he took part in being the permanent removal of the Isley monument at Roadsk, Ron has kept up in his choice to enter RCEME he will graduate as an electrical engineer. Ron's other big interest is in Ottawa. Many of the Bell's lines have been kept humming between RMC and St. Pat's. Ron's magnetic personality, fine sense of humour and many friends will ensure success in whatever he finally settles down to. We wish him all the best in the years to come. J- .I- F. N. A, 6824 DANIEL BOON Hemmingford, P.Q. On July 20, 1944, a babe was born in a log cabin and was given the appropriate name of Daniel Boon. Dan was born and bred a country boy, consequently he came to CMR as a fine upstanding youth with no vices. At CMR he soon discovered the fun one could have from life, and proceeded to make up for lost time. Dan's hobbies at RMC were making long-distance phone calls, writing poetry, and painting halls with selectone. ln sports Dan was one of the reliables on squadron teams, and in his Senior year he tried his arm at throwing the javelin for the College track team. After suffering through the first two years of CMR academics Dan joined the ranks of the Artsmen. NVith the change in courses came a change in Corps. Not wishing to leave Kingston, where he had trained with RCEME, he switched to the RC Sigs. To wish Dan luck is unnecessary, for with good luck or bad luck Dan will float through life seeking a peaceful and literary existence, XV.B.M. KELLY ALLEN BORROVVMAN Pointe Claire, P.Q. C.
