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!

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'

6828 DONALD ERNEST HARGEST Kingston, Ont. Don is another member of the Mustang Club this being bluel. Long associated with the military, having done a stretch in the militia and coming from an Army family, he is set on a career in the Pay Corps. This combination of serving in the Pay Corps during summer and taking Economics and Commerce the rest of the year makes Don an expert in money matters. An outstanding fencer, he has won many matches as a member of thc R.M.C. fencing team, which took the OSLAA championship this year. He did, however, manage to remain in Kingston most weekends, and his reason was not to study. The commuter between K.G.I-I. and R.M.C., he plans to bring yet another nurse into the Army community. Don is an ex-C.M.R. type, which means he came into the system five years ago. After such a long exposure to the good, old C.S.C., I'm certain he'll find it hard to leave. But when you see a streak of light blue shooting up Frontenac Avenue in May, get out of the REX CHARLES ARTHUR HARRISON Olds, Alta. way, for Don will be blasting off to a new life. W.D.M. 7003 DONALD ARTHUR HARRINGTON Regina, Sask. 6911 Don appeared on the scene on April 6, 1944. Raised in Pile-o-Bones , Sask., he gained a very considerable proficiency as a pianist and iudo enthusiast before he answered the eall to Go West, Young Man. His first military endeavour began four years ago at Royal Roads, where he was right at home. As an archery enthusiast of some note, he often wandered about the grounds like a twentieth-century Robin Hood. A water bug, Don was an asset to the Swim Team and IVater-polo Team, as well as being a top harriers man. After surviving the first year, he proceeded to prepare himself for his iron ring. Coming to RMC Land graduating! as a civil engineer, Don has been a consistant body-driverf' He made his mark as a member of the japanese Body Throwers Crep judo! and also left many notches on the chin-up bar. Through- out his final year, in No. -I Squadron, Don and his neighbours terrorized the local natives at every opportunity. Shortly after graduation, Don will be turning his many talents and cheerful disposition to the risky task of telling pilots where to go. He will be commencing his RCAF navi- gation career and is bound to be a highly successful officer. E.M.I-I. Few and far between are the prairie dogs that get to RMC, but those that do are easily spotted. Rex belongs with this esteemed group. He was born in Swift Current, Sask., and moved to Olds, Alberta early in his career. Like most westerners, Rex has divers preoccupa- tions, such as mountains and cats, photography and iudo. Even so, he found time to make out in Honours Science and to be a mainstay of the drum section in the Pipes and Drums while at the College. The Air Force was kind to Rex during his summer training, giving him a sample of Life at Centralia, then a trip to Europe and finally a quiet - very quiet - summer at Puntzi Mountain Radar Station. Of course, his response to this good treatment was to get a transfer from Tech!Tel. Officer to Navigator, and thence to the shadow occupation of an E.S.O. Rex was one of the famous new fourteen, that well-known cross-section of humanity that bulwarked the Recruit Year of 1962 in the halls of Frontenac-Haldimand. In case no one remembers, the new fourteen was an exceptionally keen collection of bods that clung together, undecimated, until the end of Second Year. XVherever we fourteen are headed now, Rex, we all wish you the best! 7004 RICHARD BYRON HINTON IVindsor, Ont. Hailing from the southernmost reaches of Canada-XX'indsor-Rick, a true lover of the tropics, felt a little out of place in Canada's northlandg but he quickly adiusted to his surroundings. Even on cold, rainy, mucky days, he was always up front with Royal Roads' First Fifteen. Having played alongside Rick in rugger, I know that his aggressive exceptional person he really is. While at RMC, Rick has had two main passions, first, his girl, and second, civil engineering. Although a keen engineer who is always near the top of his class, he manages to cast an Artisan's shadow of clear thinking and broadmindedness on all subiects. After graduation he hopes to take up the iob of Engineering Officer on one of Canada's many Air Force bases. Wfhatever the future may hold for Rick, I am sure with his drive, determination, and high spirits he will make the best of it. G,B,L, 7005 EDWARD MILTON HOEGI Turtleford, Sask. It seems that Ed, or 'lHoegi , grew tired of killing Indians, in Turtleford, so in 1962 he packed his bags and ioined the RCAF as a pilot. However, when signing his contract, he missed the clause stating that the first four years were to be spent in prison, I mean military col- lege. To ease he disappointment they sent him to Royal Roads for two of the four years of hard labour. In the transfer from R.R. to R.M.C., the records were fouled up, with the result that MI-Ioegi' ended up in Economics and Commerce instead of Science. During this two years at R.M.C. 'LI-Ioegii' has made many friends, especially with the little lead-nosed ones that can run faster than you or me. His practice in killing Indians affording ample opportunity to establish him as one of the top scorers for the match-rifle team. On the non-violence side, his pleasures were obtained from glee-club singing and making bets on when he will meet the' right girl. The best to you in the future Ed, and may you find that girl within two years. D.A.H.
