Mike's hometown is Elora, Ontario, a small town a few miles north of Guelph, Where class. he attended Notre Dame Loretto High School before entering RMC in the fall of 1962. Mike's pleasant personality and ability have won him the respect of many friends in our Mike has a fair ability in athletics Cfor a little fat manl, and, until a badly broken leg in his second year laid him up. he was on the rep Football Team. He annually terrorized Mike has a fair ability in athletics ffor a little fat many, and, until a badly broken leg in his second year laid him up, he was on the rep Fooeball Team. He annually terrorized the opposition with a lacrosse stick during the fall intramural season and with a yellow ball in the 6977 GERALD YVILLIAM GEORGE COOPER Winnipeg, Man. Gerry's life seems to be directed toward the achievement of a universal education. winter water-polo games. Under close examination Mike would probably deny that he was a super-star in atheltics, whach is perfectly true. He is, however, what Chief Pitt's 'torture team' is striving to produce: An above-average athlete with a will to win, Cor, as we like to think of him, an above average thirst with a will to wet itselfl. Besides doing well at the College, he has succeeded with the RCN. On his second year cruise to Hawaii Mike was the Cadet Captain of St. Therese. His third summer saw him fighting his way up the coast of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island in a 'bird' boat and then down to Bermuda aborad HMCS Nipigon. This year he picked up three bars as DXCSI. of 'Tree' Squadron and again has performed well. No problems M.D. Although his first experience was obtained in Moncton, N.B., in September 1944, he has since been finding life gradually brighter with the discovery of IVinnipcg, Victoria and sunny Kingston. This young man has not, however, limited his education to a cross-Canada tour, he has also had a taste of the English educational system, one of the inherent benefits of having an Air Force father. A built-in interest in the RCAF, plus some masochistic tendencies Cnot related to sexl, induced Gerry to obtain his college education in the Canadian Services Colleges as a stepping stone to a life in the Air Force. Thus, our hero left the bald prairies for the wooded slopes of Royal Roads. Two years of this environment proved sufficient, and he suddenly appeared at the door of R.M.C., the same door that will release him with a degree in Mechanical En- gineering and a commission in the RCAI7 f plus enough money to pay for his new Mustang. The class of '66 wishes Gerry the best of luck as either an aeronautical-engineering officer or as a money-earning civilian. D. D. S. Their Merit. At RMC, Yvon distinguished himself in various ways - from winning the Recruit Boxing Competition to acting as Beverage Supply Officer for the class. Except for getting up 6900 JOSEPH YVON LOUIS COTE Montreal, P.Q. Although born in Montreal, Yvon, following true navy tradition, was raised in Halifax. High School was spent in Quebec City, where Yvon also fell for the propaganda of On 6754 Saint Donatl Connais pas! fvous ne faites certainement pas de skil. C'est tout de meme dans ce charmant petit village quiest ne Michel, Ie 9 juillet, 1944. Michel est un type bien tranquille dont le travail passe souvent inapercu. Il est cepend- ant a son meilleur sur les terrain de tennis ou de patinoire. ll excelle surtout au hockey. Meme at the ungodly hour of eight or nine fone of the penalties for being a scientistl, he enioys all of the college QCIIYIUCS. In fact, even his free time is spent in the college, most of it on the other side of the Square, courting the Boss's daughter. In academics, Yvon is one of the in-betweens lGen Sci typesl, but he has successfully presented an artsman's image bv smoking a pipe, sleeping through classes, and frequenting the art's table. Being one of the keen navy types the won the sword in his second-year summerl, Yvon plans to make a future in submarines. His casual, amiable attitude and fine sense of humour will stand him in good stead: lots of luck, fella. V.F. MICHEL COUTU Saint Donat, P.Q. s'il ne compte pas ei chaque partie, les adversaires ne peuvent l'ignorer, car il est excellent bousculeur . C'est le policier de la Golden Dust Line egalement connue sous le nom de la Black Line . Michel sortira cette annee diplome en genie electrique. A ses heures, suivant les traces de son pete, il pratique le metier d'electricien. Son petit poste de radio est un vrai chef d'oeuvre, preuve de ses talents. Nous souhaitons tous Ei Michel beaucoup de succes dans sa carriere de pilote de l'A.R.C. the RCAF. 6979 VVILLIAM SEYMOUR CROWELL Trenton, Ont. In the year 1943, a young half-breed emerged into the world. Little did his parents realize that he would rise to the peerage of cadethood and a commission as a navigator in As a young brave, Seymour travelled the circuits - service route - covering Canada K! wwe' from the East Coast to Ontario, where he now makes his home. After thrashing through romance and books, Seymour took the plunge and entered ROTP via Royal Roads, where he distinguished himself in academics and military. He returned home - to the confining walls of RMC after the regular two-year tour, choosing to enter Chemical Engineering and 'bottling' at RMC. In the fourth year, he ran an efficient section as CSC, whilst managing to while away many a pleasant hour with his future wife. He also managed time to lead his squadron to victory in volleyball and basketball. Good luck in the future, Seymour, but be careful or you may not be able to afford the married state. WV.B.M.

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.

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.

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.

6759 GILLES DAOUST Montreal, P.Q. C'est par un froid matin de decembre,19-13, a Montreal, plus precisement le 29, que Gilles vit le iour. Encore un peu et il aurait passe pour l'Enfant jesus, a quelques details pres. Il commenca ces etudes primaires fi l'ecole St-Zfotique de Montreal, et les termina a lccolc Marie-Reine-de-la Paix fi Roxboro. ljccole 'secondaire St-Henri l'accueillit ensuite et lc garda iusqu'en 12e. Gilles, au College, s'est disunguc comme un excellent gymnaste et comme un tres bon peintre pour les decorations de bal. Son passe-temps favori, c'est de rester couche le samadi matin et de se faire a deieuner dans sa chambre. Cette annee ce brillant cadet recevra son diplume du departement de genie chimique. Nous lui souhaitons bonne chance et longue carriere dans le RCEME. 6813 ROBERT XVALTER DAVIES Ottawa, Ontario Born in XVestfield, New Brunswick, Bob managed to graduate from the Saint John High School, he chose to go to CMR to aid the cause of national unity as a spokesman for the Maritimes. Bob's interests are Mhunting and fishing and movie photography. He has even been known to show interest in ubird watching . Since coming to RMC, Bob has spent much time furthering the science of civil engineering up at the stables , where he will surely be long remembered. After graduation, he will try to see, in his travels with the RCN, those parts of the world that have so far eluded him. VVe know that he will make a fine officer and earn the respect of all, as he has done at RMC. J. B. B. 6981 CHARLES ROBERT GORDEN DAVIS Victoria, B.C. As if Portsmouth didn't have enough problems to worry about in 1943, all of a sudden wee Gordie appeared on the scene. However, the city fathers solved the problem by banishing young Gord to Victoria, B.C. Finding the climate there much more favourable, he decided to stick around to ioin HMCS Veizfmfe, where he stayed until, awed by the prospect of sea duty, he transferred to the comparative ease of Royal Roads. At Roads Gord was in his element. His charming manner and blond hair kept the Oak Bay Underground in a flap, while his athletic ability and drive made him a two-year standout for the first XV. The higher powers recognized his potential and played L'Father to Frazer Flight for the First and the Honour Slates. Coming East, Gord 'Lsaw the light and switched to Honours Economics and Com- merce, while continuing his successful ways with the girls CVVhat's new Pussycat?D, finding time for sports as well: rugger, water-polo, and swimming. As for the military side, he earned a C.S.C. appointment in 2 Squadron. Looking to the future, Gord plans to be a navy pilot, and then P VVhatever it may be, Gord, pas de sweat -and all the best. A. K. 6854 JOSEPH ADELARD RAYMOND DESLOGES Ottawa, Ont Born and raised in the fair city of Ottawa, Ray set out to seek his fortune on the distant shores of the Richelieu River. He found himself in that institution of higher learning and military distinction known as Le College Militaire Royal de St.-Jean. Since that day in 1961. Ray has combined academic excellence and an amiable, easy-going personality to full advantage. Since his arrival at RMC, he has been an active participant in all activities, demonstrating his insatiable petite for the finer things of life at Queen's and KGH. His dogged efforts on the lacrosse field, the volleyball courts, and in the swimming pool, have kept him in the physical condition necessary to pursuing his more stimulating nocturnal adventures. Despite his never-ending search for new experiences, Ray has constantly earned top marks in his Mechanical Engineering course. His academic aspirations include a masters degree at MIT and perhaps eventually an M.B.A., undoubtedly on a top scholarship. Ray remains a credit to the RCAF and as a TechfAe Officer leaves nothing to be desired. No matter what the future may bring, there is no doubt that Ray will come out ,gg OH WP' D.E.S. 6727 GILLES DUPONT Vcrdun, Que. Ne le 12 octobre 1942, Gilles apparemment s'exclamag Rejouissez-vous . . . me voici . Apres un seiour plus ou moins long dans diverses ecoles dont un stage au classique, Gilles accepte une invitation du gouvernement Canadien et se rend au CMR. Des la pre- miere annee il demontre son sens pratique en ne courant que trente circuits Con se demande encore comment il s'y est prisj. Un bureaucrate du RCEME julot a de nombreux moments libres. Liete au golf et l'hivers au hockey, on le retrouve touiours au baton durant ces periodes de loisirs. Tapageur au CMR, il s'assagit en arrivant au RMC. En effet il decide des son arrivee de se specialiser dans les parades du samedi, les deieuners matinaux et les longues marches. L'album qu'il prefere pour sa collection de photographic ce sont ses murs de chambre. Tous, sauf le eommandant d'escadrille, admire periodiqnement sa collection Afin d'equilibrer son budget il se lance dans la vente d'automobiles. Resultat, il double son salaire et triple ses depenses de sorte que Diane paie encore les interurbains. L'avenir ne lui fait pas peur, le succes lui est assure. G B
