FLIGHT RICHARD JAMES KING HAMILTON Educated Kamsack Collegiate. Home: Kamsack, Sask. Reared in the thri\'ing metropolis of Kamsack, ., Hammy" embarked on hi~ military career in the Artillery Resen"c. Soon, however, he was to change to the Senior Service as a Cadet at Royal Road" but according to the College grape-"ine he is contemplating a switch to the R.C.A.F. During the College year, the "Kamsack Kid" lent his weight to "B" Team scrum as \\ell as displaying great agility on both the basketball floor and the soft hall diamond. "Hammy" is \'cry adept on the business end of a 51100ker cue, and observation has proved that he shines best at night. Land, sea, or air, whichever he chooses, Dick with his good nature .and cas)' gomg manner is bound to be a success, R.E.R.

JOHN KINROSS KENNEDY Educated: Booth 1femorial Hlgh School. Home: Prince Rupert. In our minds, nobody repre,ents thc swash-buckling, salty, sea-dog type more than "Jake." As an easy-going ] unior, "J akc" had a knack of involving himself in e,rapaoes that inevitahly led to the "rattle." This was one of the factors in his being initiated as No.2 of the Loft Boys Association this year. On the sports field, "Jake's" long leg' have won him fame. During his Junior Year he was a member of the College Cross Coun t ry Team w h ich copped honors in the Invitation 1feel. Hi, lean 6 ft. 20 in. frame fitted him for a valuable centre forward position on his flight's basketball team. At present, "Jake" is torn bet\\een a stay in the Navy and a Varsity career, but whichever he chooses we're certain of his success. E.D.F.

JAMES WILLIAM MICHAEL McDONOUGH Educated: 11imico High School. Home: Mimico,Onl. :\ot long after arriving at the College, "Oh So" had acquired not only a permanent nickname but also an outstanding reputation as the College clown. This reputation had been strongly upheld during our two years and many a boring period has been livened by one of his whispered jokes. '\lthough a staunch supporter of his Flight sports, Jim was always more noted for his activities after "Lights Out." In spite of this, Jim managed to obtain a good sta n ding academically, and was always ready to lend a hand to those less fortunate. After graduation, "Oh So's" plans centre around the University of Toronto and Chemica l Engineering, and we all wish him the best of luck. D.K.1!.

BARRY MATHESON MITCHELL Educated. Chapleau lIigh School. Home: Chapleau, Ont. On entering Royal Roads, "1[itch" was just another boy who had travelled all the way across Canada to become a Cadet. However with his easygoing disposition and hearty laugh that can be heard for blocks, he lost little timc in acquiring a host of friend~. Tuesday is a red-letter day for "11itch," because this is the day that the "Chapleau Post" arrivcs. He can be seen sitting in the Gunroom. grinning from car to ear as he reads aloud various passages to a group of bystanders. Chapleau is a small town, tucked away in the heavy bush of Northern Ontario . . thus he has hecome our expert on hunting, trapping and fishing . "Mitch" has his eye on the Air Force, but whether he chooses the Service or a civilian career, we know he will do well. The best of luck, "~1itch.1t

C.A.S. EWALD RYLL Educated: Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Home: Vernon, B. C. All was dark and quict in the Senior dorm. There could be seen on the far wall a square blotch of white light and not far from the ligh t a group of s.elllo r ,C~,dets hud,?led around a central figure. What \Vasthe occas ion? \Vhy, 1",ald s fl,ckers, of course! That was only one evelllng that the Se niors were entertained by Ewald and his movie camera. Ewald went to great expense and spent many weary hours producing a film on College life which was very successful indeed. When Ewald is not taking pictures, sleeping, or having a boil ing hot shower, he has found time to travel to the sunny (?) and quiet (1) town of Vlctona to see a certam party of whom, we understand, he is very fond. Ewald is planning to go to University and then to the Air Force. F.D.T. [ Page Eightv-five
