marrIed Keith has invaded the business world of Ba y Street via a brokerage house. At last reports, Arnie McArthur was working with the Ontario Hydro. In the Peterborough VICInity is Carl Sergeant. who after successfully completIng his third year Economics course at RMC, decided to forsake further education for the peace and quiet of domestic life.. The Armoured Corps has already claimed one of our term in the person of Gerry Thurston. who IS now stationed with "A" Squadron of the Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD's) at Camp Petawawa, Ontario. Located here at Kingston, In the sheltered lif~ of R.M.C, are 38 of our original 66 graduates, doggedly completing the four year CS.C course. Here one of the finest compliments wa~ paid our term by the selection of Alick Marshall as Cadet Wing Commander. Alick along with Larry Shick admirably represent our term in the facul ty of Chemical Engineering, while Laurie Altwasser, John Neroutsos and Andy Wojcie chowski are completing their course in Civil Engineering. Shifting our attention to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, we note. with some misgiving, that only six of our class have managed to survive the four year grind Those remaining are: Hank Bepple, Ed Ezaja, Bob DaVies and Ian Flemming, Gord Reade and Al Shade. The fourth of the R.M.C Engineering Departments. and supposedly the most difficult, the Department of Electrical Engineering, has not proven too hard a grind for the eight members of our class still struggling along. Don Kidd, Gord Kilger, Aub Lawrence, Keith McKey, Ken Perry, Claude Rinfret, Ray Tardif and Dave Wightman have all proved themselves worthy of the task at hand. Under the head Ing of general course one finds many small. but distinctive, departments, such as the Departments of Commerce, History, Political and Economic SCience. Social Studies, and Science,
etc, and it IS here in one of these smaller departments that one can find the sleepy-eyed individuals known as Artsmen The Class of '52 has 13 such IndiViduals 'Army" Armstrong, "Pogo" Clendlnnen, Chick Ferguson, Chuck Goodfellow. Ken Hoffer, John Hulsemann, Bill Kaip. Ian MacDonnell. Jerry Martin, Terry Pocock, John Till. Frank Tremayne and "Hub" Wyers, and all have turned out to be quite good students whenever the necessity arose. Unfortunately, six of our classmates will not be graduating until a year this coming June. Taking a crack at third year again are: Don Bucher Chuck Casson, John Graham, Harry Jonas, George Skinner and Bob Thompson. Through various channels we have heard that two of our class, Don Strang and Harry Stroud, can now be found in Chatham, New Brunswick, taking a Jet conversion course with the R.CA.F .. Also in the R.CA.F. and married is our term's Glen Miller exponent. Don Schneider, who has been reported in various Canadian stations over the past two years. The remaining members of our class are now either stationed in Halifax, at H.M.S. "Key ham," or aboard H.M.CS. "Magnificent" as acting Sub-Lieutenants. To be married shortly are Bill Vallevand, Nigel Brodeur, Paul Godbout and Brian Valiquette, and with Bill Evans still trying to make up his mind. Chris Seymour. Bill Hall and Russ Wilcox seem to be content with their status as bachelors, though it is rumoured that in the Navy this is the exception rather than the rule. The above eight are the sole members of our class in the executive branch, and are serving aboard the "Magnificent" . Some correspondence has reached us from our classmates in England, taking an Engineering course with the Royal Navy at H M.S. "Keyham," are "Scud" Eyre, Art Griffin. Al Inglis, Dick Stone and Bert Wagner
THE TERM OF '53 By J. R.
STANDEN
Of the eighty-odd who started off at the College in 1951, sixty-four graduated in 1953, with forty-three carrying on to R. M.C The remaining twenty-one have more or less scattered in "N ~ I" directions, and it seems thal It will become increasingly more difficult in future years to keep tab on everyone. As almost everyone in the class knows who went on to R.M.C" we'll concentrate here on the other twenty-ooe who are hither and yon We were all very sorry to hear of ERNI[ BROWN'S unfortunate and untimely death last summer, and I'm sure the whole class joins in sending heartfelt sympathy to his family. He was a great guy and we'll all miss him
DOUG BOWIE, BRYAN ELSON, JOHN HARWOOD, GERRY VAN SICKLE and DICK WILSON all joined the R.CN. as midshipmen in September, and seemed to be enjoying themselves in and around Victoria prior to Christmas They left in early January, in the "Ontario" for a three-month cruise to Australia. New Zealand, The Tongas and points south -J painless way to spend the winter if there ever was one. With a gun room equipped like theirs. and those "Bali Hai" women-Wow' "SPIFFY" SMITH, BILL ATWOOD and "KIPS" JEKYLL left for Keyham August 26th as Midshipmen (E), and at last reports GORD was on a ship in the Mediterranean, and BILL and BOB with the Home Fleet in a new "Dog Class" Destroyer Kipperland seems to
