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.

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!

6912 KElTH HOXVARD HOOEY Oshawa, Ont Keith hails from Oshawa, that happy little town 135 miles down the road to freedom. However, I believe that in 1962 he must have hailed a little too loudly for, in September of that year, Oshawa sent him to RMC. ' In his first year, Hoo had a rough time of it: CCD, an obnoxious l'00m-matt, extra drill, a fire demonstration, and more CCD. ln second year, life, was f'Rosy and he was on Yup of the world. Third year rolled around and he found his social life so demanding that he was forced to switch from Engineering Physics to .Honours Science. During his- final year at RMC, Hoo, now a CSC, was in Pass Science, after losing a battle to Piggy Math. Nevertheless, he kept up his spirits with thoughts of motorcycles and marriage, not necessarily in that order of merit. He also did a fine iob as cadet business-manager of the Revie-zu. After graduation, Keith plans a short career in the newly-formed Canadian Armed Forces as a signals officer. R.C.S. 6911 jOHN RICHARD HOSANG TVillowdale, Ont. On the 14th of january, 19-H, the population of Toronto increased by one. Ol, Hos had arrived. Many years later, and mainly because of his advertising potential at exhibitions, john made his debut at R.M.C. Nor was he long wating for recognition. Soon after his arrival here jolm distinguished himself by failing the qualifications for a UNO-Glory Athlete. All four years have seen johnny on the rep Track-and-Field team, during which period he was most. often seen as a distant blur by competitors. Other sports interesting Hos were squadron and intermediate football, and squadron hockey. Somewhere in there, johnny managed to battle his way through Civil Engineering- seeming to struggle along with thc rest of us until we saw his name in a How About That! position on the marks list. i DXCSL of -1 Squadron jolmny has again successfully mastered all his courses-with a creditable showing in Social Dynamics too. Soon he will be off to TeehfCE in the Air Force, with such a foundation of success here at college, he is sure to keep on building. Best of luck to a great guy - Ol' Hosf, M.P.W. 6914 GRAHAM BRUCE HUNTER Ottawa, Ont. The eighteenth of February 1944 was an eventful day in Cheshire, England, it was then that Chase was letting out his first indignant screams at being born into a Navy family, for he wished from birth that he might someday be a jet-iockey. After several years of hopping around Canada with his family, Graham graduated from Lakefield College School and realized the first step towards his ambition when, in September 1962, he signed up as a pilot in the R.C.A.F. and put his life into the hands of the seniors at R.M.C. Time does indeed fly quickly, and Chase soon found himself entering his final year in Civil Engineering as the C.S.A. of 5 Squadron. In support of the squadron he has participated in hockey, football, and sailing. ln addition, he has lauded the sweet sound of the pipes as a member of the R.M.C. Pipes and Drums. Graham's motto is Every man a tiger , one could certainly describe laying sidewalks during summer training as a beastly iob, but those days are gone, for very soon his goal will be realized as he climbs into the cockpit of a Tutor to 'fslip the surly bonds of Earth. Bonne chance, Chasseur!! A.P.B. 6916 RICHARD LEE jACKSON Ottawa, Ont, Born in Ottawa in 1943, Rick served five years in Sea Cadets, an experience which directed him towards a career in the RCN. Rumor has it that he had applied for Pottzebbi Tech. before being snapped up by R.M.C. Rick, sometimes known as 'fletter-a-day boy , may be reached during most weekends in the Capital City, presumably keeping his eyes on the stamp situation. At the College, however, Rick directs his energies into other channels, including the activities of the rifle and pistol teams. During his third year, he was widely recognized as the Cadet Wing Typist and known to his room-mate as 'flightening rod for his capacity to attract shafts of all sorts. His natural abilities won him the position of lead drummer in the Pipe and Drums during the last two years. Besides being the best shop on the Pistol Team in his final year, he shone as one of Dean Stanleys better boys in General History. ln his room Rick is saving pennies in his lampshade, it is sincerely hoped that he will use some of these to buy a better brand of coffee to replace the mud he brews now. Best wishes for the future, Rick.
