6996 RICHARD ALLEN GREEN St. Bruno, PQ- Rich, who has always had a bent for things mechanical, quite naturally found himself in the RCEME and taking a course in Mechanical Iingineering at R.M.C. Like many of his classmates, Rich has never gone in for rep sports, he. has, however, always been a strong campaigner in the intramural program, especially in soccer and hockey. He is also quite a ski enthusiast and has become fairly proficient as a result'of two years of college recreational activity. In the evenings he can usually be foundhplaying chess, enioying a good cup of coffee, sleeping, or even, at times, studying. .Academics have never worried Rich, even though hc has been beset with some tricky situations in lllS'CSC career. In his first year at Roads, he managed to weather a tremendous barrage of circles and days of punishment with apparently few ill effects. Rich refuses to be tied down in any way and it could be for this reason that he has never been out with any one girl for more than a half-dozen times. After all, a man can't drive an MG-B and have a family too, can he Rich? N.E.F. 6997 NIGEL EDVVARD FREDERICK GRIFFIN Ottawa, Ont. Nigel studies Economics and Politics, fences, is an infantryman, favours few fair young things with more than one date, skis, has bought a sports car, and has rarely found it neces- sary to refer to his texts on Machiavelli. Barely escaping the academic perils of those nasty first-year science courses, Nige Settled into the envied, exclusive life of The Septic Seven in his second year at Roads. Since then, he has achieved a measure of academic success, apparently assisted by machlne- like study habits. Unproven rumours have it that this drive is no more than a deliberately assumed appearance-a typical Griffinian ploy. He has also shown great delight in ousting would-be students from their pits at atrocious hours of their own choosing. Although Nige's weight and ability had been valuable to Champlain Flight at Roads, he largely abandoned intra-mural sports for the ioys of rep fencing when he arrived at R.M.C. He also ioined the College singing circles in his final year, adding his voice to the Protestant Choir and the Glee Club. The future will probably find Nige successfully applying his cool, well-calculated approach as an Army officer, and later, perhaps, as an economist in the Civil Service. R.A.G 6780 PIERRIQ GUAY Levis Il existe des gens que l'on n'oublie iamais. Pierre est sans contredit l'un de eeuxfla. Partout oil il passe, il laisse un souvenir inoubliable. Il porte tres bien son nom, iamais vous Ie verrez ni triste ni morose. Il a sans cesse Ie mot pour rire et est touiours pret a jouer un bon tour. C'est at Levis que Pierre fit ses premiers pas. En 1961, il arrive au CMR plein d'enthousiasme et d'entrain. Au debut, il a tendance at se prendrc pour un petit Napoleon, mais son naturel reprend vite le dessus. ll se fait remarquer par sa bonne humeur et son habilite dans divers sports: le football, le hockey, Ie soccer et le canotage entre autres. A RMC, il developpe ses talents d'organisateur au volleyball et dans la chorale. De plus, il s'adonne au football et au iudo, ou il demontre que l'agilite peut avoir raison de Ia brutalite. Diplfime il sera navigateur ou FSO fl-Ilectronie System Officerl dans l'Aviation. Celi- bataire pour quelques annees et, ensuite, comme il dit: On verra ! Ses passe-temps favoris sont Ie musique, la lecture les automobiles et l'art epistolaire. D Q 6998 RICHARD DENNIS GUELPA Victoria, B.C. It has been quite evident to all who knew him, even from the moment of his birth ijune 16, 1943, in Prince Rupert, British Columbia,J that Denny is a dynamic personality full of vim, vigour, and vitality. Thus it comes as no surprise that, after spending a year at the University of Victoria, he decided to cross his Rubicon and enter the hallowed halls of Royal Roads. During his two-year sojourn at Roads, Denny distinguished himself on the rugby field, playing both years with the First Fifteen, and in his second year, landing a berth on the Victoria All-Star Team. lVhen he arrived at R..XI.C., Denny said goodbye to General Engin- eering and joined the ranks of the Sand-Box-Piumb-bob Boys. A few months later, when our hero discovered snow in Ontario, he appropriately acquired a pair of army boots and some rickety barrel staves, and in order to avoid Saturday morning parades, became an avid skier. lVhen there was no snow, Denny has always been a staunch supporter of his squadron and his many athletic land other? talents were greatly appreciated by his fellow spider-lovers. Moreover, his activities as President of the Scuba Diving Club are now renowned throughout Naval circles. R.j.A.G. 6999 RANDOLPH JACK AUSTIN GYNN Toronto, Ont. Randy, after graduating from Richview Collegiate in Toronto, decided to enter Royal Roads. After two months at the college, he was convinced that this was the worst choice he had ever made in his life. However, after joining the rep water-polo, swimming, squash, and bowling teams, he decided that maybe the system wasn't so bad after all. At the outset of his second-year spring term, he decided that the Engineers and other General Artsmen' worked much too hard. He therefore announced that he was entering an Honours French course and with his French books retired to the roof of Nixon Block to work on a suntan. During his third year, in addition to retaining his honours standing, Randy found time to participate in rep water-polo, swimming and debating. Moreover, he ioined the Glee Club, which is the singing group that doesn't meet down at the Manor House every Saturday night. His appointment to Wing Headquarters as DXCWA curtailed many of his fourth- year activities. pn D' G. -U'

He spent his formative years in peace and contemplation-being little else to do in Birnie. However, in 1962, Glen decided it was time the world heard from him, so he packed his bag and headed west to Royal Roads. During his stay at the Castle. Glen made quite a name for himself on the sports field fthe meanest rugger playcrl, in the pool ian outstanding swimmerl, and on the social scene Ca real lionl. Reaching R.M.C., Glen surveyed the situation and, realizing that the rep teams were excused parades, promptly took up cross-country running and skiing, proving himself a valuable asset to both teams. Unfortunately, however, an ankle iniury ended his CSC sports career, with the result that this year he had to join the goldbrick squad-which doesn't go on parades either. A civil engineer, Glen has done very well in his course, in spite of long hours spent in the Npit' and in trying to beat the computer. Upon graduation, Glen ioins the R.C.E., where he hopes to become an army pilot.

The world was a quiet place before the arrival of this phenomenon. Voluinous, voluptuous, and at times volatile, jack's presence could never bc ignored. On the contrary, it had to be planned for in advance. From Montreal, the Gods willed that he be sent to f'La Belle Ville dc Quebec . He enriched this beautiful city so much with his social polish, and his marked ability to whisper sweet nothings to sweet somethings that he was sent even higher up the ladder to immor- tality, hc spent a while as a ski enhusiast fski buml reorganizing the local ski slopes. From there he was welcomed as one of the finest aquisitions at that finest school for men of the world, CMR. There jack made a name for himself skiing, swimming, water polo, football and socializing. At RMC, jack Croguc that he isl was selected to tour Iiurope with the United States Navy and returned in his Senior Year to become Director of Propaganda KCNVPROJ. ' He will long be remembered by the Class of '66 but mostly by his friends from CMR, the 69crs, and various administrative officers. He will also bc remembered as the Editor of the 1966 Review. .

One of his trips took him to England. Normally, this would be of little consequence, except that this is where he learned to say, Well, I gotta e-mit! At those words, strong men shudder, for they know that j. Scott has been visibly impressed, more than likely by a Shadow or a Rolling Stone. It also means that Scott will more than likely be trying to emulate these heroes, too, for his musical exploits are legendary. He is, in fact, the leader of that Mother College band, the fabulous Ascots. Interest in musical sounds led Scott to interests in other sounds-the electrical type. Hard work has ensured that he will leave the College with a very respectable record in academics, the same hard work meant two bars in the annual scramble. Socially, Scott's name is a password to the finer things in life-like imitations, to which his facial muscle control and readily adaptable voice are well suited. Good luck with navi ation Scott -we're sure ou'll manage to et back to Ottawa, g Y Y g but beyond that .... R.G.W.E. GILLES E. GIRARD Arvida, P.Q. , Delburne, Alta. jim is another of the few cadets who are fortunate enough to hail from the prairies. The town of Delburne, Alberta, is his home and from this background he has inherited the spirit and drive that have helped him in his conquest of CSC. Throughout the past four years he has proven himself an excellent athlete, excelling in such sports as harriers, football, rugger and boxing, as well as in many intermural activities. jim has a cheerful and likeable personality coupled with a keen sense of humour, he has made many friendships and he is bound to go places in the future, be it in the Armed Forces or on civy street . Being an Electrical Engineer, making money should never be a problem. jim has also managed to make good marks, considering his rather heavy course. This success is attributable to two reasons: first he is a determined student and, secondly, he goes on leave a lot. Upon graduating, jim is hoping to become a jet-iockey . However, before flying, he will be hearing the sounds of wedding bells back in Victoria. The very best of luck to jim and Gerry in the future. T.G.S. 6994 jAMES ALBERT GODFREY

6842 Born in Port Arthur on 12 june '43, Ted still lays proud claim to that city as his 7000 DAVID ANTHONY HAAS Calgary, Alta. In that gay September of 1962, Dave stumbled off the bus at palatial Royal Roads and into the inspiring web of cadet life. Carefully avoiding notoriety throughout his recruit year and communicating with the joys of nature abounding in Victoria, this Calgarian soon came into his own as the champion of the 'LVegetables. Arriving at R.M.C., Dave continued to keep a sharp pen thrusting at the idiosyncracies of military life as he showered biting satire and excellent cartoons upon the Marker. While compiling a respectable academic record in his third year, Dave also found time to express himself on the rep football field, on the debating floor, and on the ceiling of the pistol range. However, someone apparently saw through his facade of good natured cynicism and incompetence, for he some how ended up a C.F.L. of that wandering, lost tribe, the F rigateers, paeifying trespassers with his rep hammer. Dave is now ready to tackle army life in the PPCLI and with his rep boxing experience we are sure that he will fight his way to the top. L. A. E. EDWARD CHALMER HAGUE Port Arthur, Ont. home. Commonly known as Lump ifor good reasonsk, he proceeded to CMR in ,61 with the idea of becoming an engineer. Fate decided otherwise, however, and he will graduate with a degree in Honours Economics. Life as an artsman must agree with him, for he would like to go on and get his M.B.A. sometime in the future. Throughout his CSC career, Ted has been active in almost every phase of college life. At one time or another, he was a member of football, curling, soccer, rifle, and track and field teams. Socially, he possesses one great drawback, he doesn't like girls-MUCH! To date, his army career has been almost as varied as his CSC career. His first summer of train- ing was spent at the RCEME School. However, finding Kingston much to dull during the summer months, he became a gunner and went to Shilo. After graduation he will go to Winnipeg on his first posting. Perhaps Lumpy's upbringing in the wilderness is one of the reasons for his two favorite hobbies - hunting and fishing. All of his free weekends were spent in the quiet, secluded regions of Renfrew in pursuit of these activities. T'J'E. 6910 DOUGLAS RONALD HAMILTON Vancouver, B.C. Milt was born in Sydney, B.C., and grew up in Vancouver. His four years at the college were spent as an undercover agent for the Vancouver Bureau of Tourism and Propaganda, extolling the wonders of this fair city to all who would listen: he even went so far as to bet on the B.C. Lions in the Grey Cup. After trying a year of Eng. Phys, Hammy saw the light and stepped into that illustrious group - the Mechanical Engineers. Hard work and diligent study will see him graduate with a perfect record: no supplementals. Like any Mech Eng. his attendance at class parties was near perfect. On the military side, we also remember him as the recruit who asked his CSTO, '4May I say, does 'by the left' mean you start on your left foot? we also recall he had more circles than anyone except his room'mate-you've come a long way, Milt Cdownhill, that isb. Milt's athletic commitments were fulfilled by his being manager of the rep swimming and water polo team, as well as filling in where need in squadron sports. after graduation. Good luck, Hammy. 7001 HAROLD JOSEPH HAMILTON Elgin, Ont. Ontario born and bred, it must have come as a severe shock to Harry's system when he found himself amidst the scenic wonders of Royal Roads. So averse was he to the floral arrangements that he promptly took up that cad's game for gentlemen-rugger. IVhat few frustrations were left over, he either ran off as a member of the cross-country team. There must have been quite a few frustrations in his second year, for he was the father of that Milt has gained a lot in his four years here, and is sure to show it as an RCEME officer I D.H undisciplined flight-Champlain. At RMC, Harry chose to embark upon the Civil Engineering course, fortune or luck or work saw him successfully complete the requirements. Sports were still the main attraction, though, and Harry became renown for his swimming ability, he was still a member of the track and field and harriers teams, the latter of which he commanded in fourth year. Upon grad, Harry joins the RCE. VVe all hope he does as well there as he has done here. D.L.J.H. JAMES WILLIAM HAMPTON St. Catherines, Ont. jim must be one of the most likeable cadets at the college. From crashed airplanes to broken windows, jim has left his mark. His career at RMC has been ever jovial and fun- loving. Ugly Cas he is better known? has managed to labour his way through Mech- anical Engineering, no mean feat. A powerful set of fists and a hard head brought Ugger to boxing fame early in his career as a cadet. Blond and blue-eyed, tall and strong, his fate was inevitable. Sorry girls, hels been taken. His frequent trips to Ottawa, come rain, sleet or snow, only served to strengthen his con- victions. A genuine loss to the Bachelor's Unanimous Club. jim has ended his career as a pilot and will be spending his commitment in the Technical branch of the Air Force. VVe wish him all the best, particularly at this point in his life. From the noisy bunch in L Flight, and from everyone in the college, good luck, Ugger!
