6804 ALEXANDER CAMPBELL CALDER Fergus, Ont. Alex might be considered a southerner for he was born in Buenos Aires, in May, 1944, where he lived for eight years. That 'fcountry boy air is not a deception, however, for the rest of his school years were spent on a small farm on the Grand River, near Fergus Ont. Often he returns to that small farm, in fact, that is where he was the last time we failed to break through his reveries. During those years he distinquished himself in fields other than agrariarnln school he reached great heights in academics and in gymnastics. He also developed an overawing Schroeder complex with his little piano defending Beethoven in the process of reaching tenth grade with the Royal Conservatory of music in Toronto. Early in 1961, Alex washed his muddy hands in salt water to become a naval officer- cadet at CMR. During his years at CSC where French replaced Spanish as his second tongue, the recreation departments at CMR and RMC benefitted from his outstanding ability to organize. History became his maior COttawa his VVaterlooJ and the joys of the Nordic skiC?J were revealed to him not to mention the ioys of the obscure, no-glory athlete. 6753 ALBERT D. CALL MHIHYFIC, P-Q. Il m'est impossible d'imaginer quelqu'un qui ne connaisse pas ALBERT. Et ceci s'appli- que surtout aux gens de la Marine Canadienne et probablement aussi a l'amiral. Un marin tentant de couler son propre navire a droit a autant de consideration a mon avis. D'ailleurs ie me suis touiours demande pourquoi un ieune homme venant du pays des mines fMalartic7 avait choisi l'ocean comme avenir. Question de changer le mal de place probablement. Je connais Albert depuis pres de cinq ans deia et ie peux vous assurer que ie peux touiours m'attendre 5 tout de sa part. Personnellement, ie pense qu'il aime le risque et quiil est membre aetif du FAN-CLUB de Damocles Cvous connaissez le gars a l'epee?5 La course semble son sport favori ici au college. En effet, etant membre de l'equipe representative, il a touiours bien su se classer et ie crois que ceci est une belle preuve de caractere et d'endurance .de la part de d'ALBERT. En temps qu'eleve-officier au RMC Cles agents de Malartic le savent bienl il prefere se classer parmi les premiers en genie civil: probablement une autre de ses fantaisies. - ,Ie ne peux lui souhaiter que Ie meilleur succes possible pour l'avenir. V.F. G.M. 6896 IAN ROBERT CAMERON Kingston, Ont. Ian arrived at R.M.C. in September, 1962, by a rather eircuitous route. Born in foggy London on April 11, 1943, he promptly set out to explore the world. Passing through Canada, he stopped at such exotic places as Fort Churchill, Calgary, Ottawa, and Camp Borden, before returning once more to Europe, where he did stints in Germany, London again, Switzerland fwhere he got his Senior Matriculationl, and Gay Pareef' When his father came to Kingston in january, 1962, Ian followed shortly and settled at R.M.C. A natural Rifleman , Ian has been a stalwart of the Match Rifle Team for the last four years. Between such taxing occupations as playing softball, lacrosse, his Hi-Fi set, and lounging around the range, Ian has found time to take Electrical Engineering, from which he will graduate with a degree this spring. After this goal has been attained, Ian will return once more for a few months to the sandy stretches of Camp Borden, where he has amused himself the past two summers. This time, he will be sporting a colourful Infantry outfit. From there he will be going abroad again, probably to the beautiful Isle of Cyprus. We wish you every success in the future, Ian. 6972 BRIAN HOYT CAMPBELL Calgary, Alta. Born in Sarnia on December, 1944, young Brian went west to Calgary in 1950, Where he became a sensation in the 'LStampede a-go-go. BH found immediate popularity with the high-school set at VVestern Canada High, where he distinguished himself in many sports as well as academics. At Roads, Brian found a sport to suit his height and spread - soccer. He also found time to put the blades on for the 'lphantomv hockey squad. Always a happy-go-lucky type, Brian found that he had to contain his eccentrieities when he received the appointment of CSL. Having created much static in his brilliant young life, BH found that Electrical Engin- eering would best suit his capacities, and with his studies well tucked away, he put on a determined effort to take the uwatusi crown from Barry Go-Go Morris, the sweetheart of the Cadet Yless Pep ermint Ioun e In the last fexx months however, this dynamic PCI'- sonality has been the plfoperty of a Sretty and also dynamic feimale. VVith two years of RMC soccer and an Engineering degree, Brian promises to be as big an asset to the RC Sigs as he has been to RMC. Many in the class of '66 will be sad to leave him behind in Kingston, but BH seems to have found the proper environment and we ' 'e be ' e May wish him all the best in the future. ' G. W. M. rf iiifiiila J. s. T. 6897 DAVID MURRAY CAMPBELL Kingston, Ont. Dave was born in the United States, he has lived and gone to school in the Kingston area. His local knowledge was very useful to other cadets in such matters as getting dates and organizing parties. He ioined the Service College system at RMC, where he drove the body for 4 Squadron for three years. He played goalie in squadron lacrosse and earned a reputation as one of the ablest members of the rifle team. He won an ''outstanding-athlete award for his ability with the match rifle. On the academic side, Dave qualifies as Honours General Science, he got very good marks in his fourth year. Dave is in the Air Force, where he will be training as a pilot next summer. Having a background in the Air Cadets, a private flying-license, and armament training, he is looking forward to flying either the CF-5 or with United Airlines. No matter what course he chooses, Dave's easy-going personality and determination will lead to success. W- P- M- ,A f is 1 sg

Ce fut un grand jour pour la famille Brassard, mais on ne doutait pas alors qu'on aurait plus tard affaire un militaire. Les quelques solides amities qu'il noua peu apres son arrivee au College lui en faciliterent le dur apprentissage at la vie militaire. Possedent les qualifications necessaires pour naviguer, j.P. se retrouva aux commandes d'un petit monstre connu sous le nom de Chipmunk , dont il maitrisa la conduite en quelques jours. Les copains se souviendront des longues heures passees au mess 51 ecouter jean-Pierre nous arler de ses prouesses de la journee. Moins chanceux l'annee suivante, il se retrouva, gr ce Qi la nouvelle politique de l'aviation, de nouveau a Centralia oil il dut suivre un cours en telecommunications. Apres un sejour de trois ans au CMR, jean-Pierre se dirigea vers RMC ou il choisit le genie electrique. Apres quelques difficultes ct quelques chocs electriques, il franchit les etapes qui le separerent de la derniere annee. - Grand amateur de golf, jean-Pierre reproche aux Colleges des forces armees de ne pas posseder dlequipe represntative de balle-molle oii i,l excelle comme 'flmzce-torpillen. ll consacre ses loisirs a la lecture et au sommeil.

Son reve: Voir Paris et mourir . ll va sans dire que c'est une figure de style, mais l'exageration n'est tout de meme pas si loin de la realite. Vers Page de 16 ans, le voyage devint pour lui une obsession et pour satisfaire cet instinct il se dirigea vers le plus proche bureau de recrutement. La marine s'empara de notre homme aussitot. Et depuis, ses voyages l'ont entraine de l'Allemagne il Hawaii. Cela ne lui fait oublier pour autant la gent feminine: Jeanne, Thea, Shirley, Catherina, Sue. Maintenant, c'est jo-Anne, joan, Tatiana.

Al was born in Souris, Manitoba on August 16, 1944, and for the next eighteen years followed his father's Air Force career quite closely, spending most of his time in Ottawa. Intrigued by the life he completed a busy and productive stint in high school and then gave his best to RMC. Here, he promptly joined the Match Rifle Team, becoming one of its top shots. At the same time he pursued a deep interest in music by joining the Pipes and Drums as a piper, climaving this career by becoming Pipe Major. It is also suspected that he keeps a clarinet in his room-perhaps to ward off snakes. Al is combining a course in Mathematics and Physics with an enduring friendship with the computer C ole 1620 D. As a result, the RCAE will gain an enterprising and promising Telecommunications Officer One of Al's ambitions, by the way, is to compose a symphony using a computer. Pretty soon, underground at North Bayg a red alert? will be a Burke Cacophony in C. Cwatch out DEVV linel D. His ready wit and motto: Keep Smiling , point the way to a happy future of many accomplishments. All the best for a fine career All G. B. H. 697i Upper R05tl1f3fn, Sagk, ' Lloyd was born in St. Thomas, Ontario, but left very shortly thereafter for the sunnier elimes of Upper Rosthern Saskatchewan. Learning to skate before he could walk, 'Zed' wielded a hockey stick for the local teams for many years, and was finally rewarded for his efforts with a Robin Hood Oats Trophy. Having heard of the internationally famous Royal Roads hockey team, our hero left for Victoria, where he led the hockey team, Fraser Flight, and the Calculus class lin that order.D Despite his enthusiasm for Mechanics, Lloyd made the big move to General Science early in his Second Year. Lloyd was an even greater success at RMC, where for two years he helped the senior Redmen to glory in Hockey, culminating his career with two goals in the 1966 lVest Point Game. He also carried two bars around on room inspections while pulling down some rather impressive marks. Lloyd has established some firsts at RMC - he was the first twenty-one year old to get the boot from the Manor, and he was the first President of the Leroy van Dyke Fan Club to occupy Fort Champlain. As one of the unsung heroes of the RCAE, a Tech!AE officer and the proud owner of a new Mustang, Lloyd evidently plans making the best of both worlds, and with his good nature, and determination, he can't miss. Bonne chance, Lloyd. R.G.W.E. 6844 JEREMY BRUFORD BUTLER Victoria, B.C. jerry was born in Brighton, England on the 16th of December, 1943. He spent his early days greying the hairs of his English schoolmasters. Realizing as the years went by, that this little island would not be big enough for him, he consulted his charts and set sail for North America. He settled in the small town of Oliver, B.C., and quickly learned the ways of the natives. ln 1961, jerry joined the Navy and was sent to CMR, where he began his transformation into an Officer and a Gentleman. At RMC he took up Chemical Engineering and achieved excellent results. Sailing is jerry's favourite sport and he was on the rep team while at RMC. During his summers with the Navy on the XVest Coast, jerry managed to combine tidal problems with bear hunting. Even during his blaekest hours, jerry can be heard whistling a few bars of his favourite tune, XVhen Irish Eyes Are Smiling. VVith his quick wit and ready smile, we are certain that he will have a most successful future. Best of Luck, jerry P.F.

6760 jACQUlrfS l.. R. CARRIICR Mont joli, P.Q. On peut dire que jacques a l'art de laisser sa marque partout ou il passe. Ses exploits de ieunesse se racontent encore dans les veillees de Mont-joli. Les annales du iuvenar de Sainte-Luce-sur-mer prennent bientot la relex e. Sa determina- tion lui vaut des succes autant dans ses activites intellectuelles que physiques.. Ses altercations avec les autorites du iuvenat sont moins edifiantes, mais passons. Nous retrouvons bientot jacques a Saint-jean. ll y trouve un champ d'action Dropice il l'epanouisscmeut de ses talents militaires et poetiques. C'cst cet epanouisscment qui a produit certains incidents inoubliables. Etudiant en genie mecanique, jacques obtient d'excellents resultats a R.M.C. Son accent dans cette langue qu'on ne parle pas a Mont-joli souffrirait peut-etre une certaine ameliora- tion, mais la gent feminine de Kingston y voit un attrait irresistible. N'en demandons pas trop, puisque jacques s'est merite de grands honneurs pour ses progres en anglais et il est en bonne voie de s'en meriter d'autres. 6820 jif1AN-PAUi. cHABoT V 11110181 P-Q. je vous presente le Roger Bontemps des finissants 1966. Vous reconnaissez sans doute jean-Paul Chabot. Sa taille mince, prcsqu'elegante sied mal a son allure nonchalante. Une disposition naturelle a l'evasion le rend etranger at tout souci. La vie semble lui avoir souri des les premiers instants de son existence. Sans trop d'efforts apparents, il flotte, il glisse langoureuscment entre les eaux de l'activite militaire et academique du College. j.P. est un humaniste fofficiellementl et par consequent semble iouir doublement de la vie au College. Humain, il l'est surement et peut-etre meme est-il officieusement un human- iste car il ne s'en vante iamais. ,lean-Paul est me a Cadillac, en Abitibi. Plus tard, il va demeurer a Vilbois. Il completa ses etudes secondaires au College de Longueil. En septembre 1961, il arrive au College Klilitaire Royal de St-jean. Xlalgre cinq annees de vie inilitaire j.P. ne semble pas sen faire. Avide d'aventures et de sensations fortes Cl'ete prochainl jean-Paul continuera son appren- tissage de pilote d'aviation aux commandes d'un puissant Tutor. Bonne chance ! j.G.B. 6974 KENNETH jAMF.S CHANDLIQR Cold Lake, Alta. Providence decreed that Ken make his appearance on September 27, 1942 in the metro- polis of Toronto. He disliked the place at first sight and within three months he had per- suaded his parents to move. The fact that his father is in the Air Force has kept him on the move ever since. His ambition to enter CSC was realized in September, 1962, when the government grac- iously bade him welcome to that garden estate named Royal Roads. Two years later, Ken came to RMC with the intention of becoming an electrical engineer and eventually an arma- ment officer. His quick perception prevented him from making a fatal mistake and he switched to Mechanical where through hard work and determination, he made the top ten of his class. But, in spite of the heavy academic load, he supported his squadron in water-polo, volleyball, and basketball, while favouring the choir with the deep tones of his bass voice. His ambition is to see more of the world. He made a good start in this direction by spending the last summer in Europe, and with his determination and capacity for hard work, he is sure to go far. The best of luck, Ken wherever you go. 6853 PIERRE CHICVALIER Tf91S-Ri1'iCI'CS- PQ- Pierre, ioyeux trifluvien, ancien de ll-Xcademie de la Salle, est un gars formidable, c'est l'ami de tous. Il fit ses premiers pas cadences fgauche-droite-gauche1 en septembre 1960 au C.M.R. Durant ses trois annees il St. jean, Pierre ne perdit pas son temps. Comme Romeo pour juliette, notre Pierrot trouva vite sa Pierrette. C'est en 1964 qu'on le retrouve au R.M.C. lmaginez-vous, a deux cent milles de Saint- jean et de P. . . Mais Pierre est toujours jovial, car son moral est soutenu par sa lettre quotidienne. Aimant les lettres, il se lance resolument et choisit de se specialiser en francais. Comme athlete, Pierre sc distingue dans l'equipe representative d'escrime ainsi que dans quelques sports d'escadrillc, tels le tennis et le soccer. Comedien it ses heures, il se mele de faire du theatre et pour comble de gallomanie ldepuis qu'il frequcnte la petite Francais! il bouffe du fromage et se gargarise de lion vin. Tous ensemble, nous te souhaitons bonne chance dans le corps des magasins militaires de l'armee. Et qu'un iour, ton reve d'enseigner le francais se realise. C.I.. et P.L. 6973 JAMILS ICDVVARD jOHN CHISHOLM Toronto, Ont. jamie, having little choice in the matter departed at an early stage from his native Maritimes for the sunnier climate of Southern Ontario. After finishing high school, he decided to move a bit farther west, and - low and behold - found himself at a well-known VVest Coast boys' school, sometimes called Royal Roads. Besides his regular course in cross- country running and Pit Zi, Chix found time for a bit of extra-curricular academics. Since his favourite course at Roads was Physics 25, jamie, upon arrival at R.M.C. naturally chose to take Honours French. At R.M.C. he made a name for himself in athletics Cboxing and cross-country running? and managed to do fairly well academically and socially besides. 'LChiz,', an enthusiastic future army officer, saw the light and elected to become a mem- ber of the R.C.A.C. Although he is convinced that the Volvo is an excellent cross-country vehicle, the future will undoubtedly see jamie mounted in a Ferret SCOUI-Call' with the 8th Canadian Hussars. W. L. P.
