No. 3676 S C CHARLES FREDERICK POIRIER S.C.M. Shediae, N.B. Shediae, N.B. Navy \Vhen Charlie ran out of new victims for his tricks in the Quiet town of Shcdiac, he decided to move to Royal Roads where he was sure to find a fresh field for his practice. He has been tremendously ,uccessful; even though he has stayed around for three years, he can still find many a cadet who will fall for his practical jokes. But Charlie did not restrict himself to his notoriously entertaining activities. A star of the football team, he has made the name of "Shediac" resound from the spectator's stands-female section also. He practices boxing, but I think it is only to keep himself in better shape for football and hockey. For some obscure reason the Navy attracted him, and he claim. there is no better service. If you want to meet the serious side of his nature. just tell him otherwise and you will be amazed at the number of arguments he can find to support his choice. Some are given seriously. too! It is thi; sidc of his character which has led him to follow ill the swashbucklinlif steps of Ron Mace and Teddy W路hite. All of us, who have been vIctims of his tremendous imagination and peculiar sense of humor, know that he will reach his goal.

No. 3979 SI C PAUL MAURICE SEGERS EekJo Cla..le Humanities and ColleJle St. Jan, Antwerp Sehellebelle, Belllium Navy Paul came to us from the Royal Military Academy in Brussels where he chose the Navy for a career after a year of infantry learning (ugh!) and thus became destined for Canada, Royal Roads, H.M.C.S. NEW GLASGOW and of course the term of '55. Truly gifted he never ceases to subdue and carry us all away when called upon to sing at gunroom and choir activities. I am sure that none of our term will ever forget the suddenly Quiet gun room and the still. thoughtful faces as Paul poured his heart out on "Santa Lucia" for us. Another highly developed talent was his ability on the soccer field. In inter-flight and representative games he always thrilled everybody and demonstrated just how the game could be played. A continuously tireless worker for "Fighting Fraser" he wore Leading Cadet's bars in the second term and did a top notch job. While visiting Paramount studios during last summer's Cali fornia cruise Paul became completely lost and had to be helped on his way by Grace Kelly. And then later in the same day he starred on a Los Angeles TV show, and because he was a "poor lonely sailor far from home," found himself presented with a date in the form of a belle from Tennessee. (When it came time to ship for ES(juimalt Paul had to be forcibly restrained from jumping ship). As for the future Paul has two more years of executive training afloat with the R.C.N . to do before returning to the Belgian Nav)' and watchkeeping in the Channel. E.C.B.

No. 3900 SI C BRYAN DAVID SMALLMAN.TEW Welton ColleJliate We8ton, Ontario Air Foree Anyone know where Weston is located? Ask Brick. The only other item of ignorance that infuriates Brick is the omission of the last number of his name. Otherwise, he is so good-natured that he doesn't even get involv~d in inter-service arguments. (He find3 the services like women-he likes them all). Brick is in the Air Force and is training to be a navigator. As a junior he was a member of La Salle, but, because there was a lack of good men in Hudson, he was transferred to Hudson in his senior year. Brick has twice been a member of the representative swimming team. Another of his sports is hockey. Here, as in swimming, he excels. His effort helped Hudson to win the soccer trophy this year. One of Bricks' secret sports is uing the telephone. He often burrows himself in a booth and spends hours con {incing some girl that he already has two dates for the next week-end. Bryan is planning to go on R.M.C. and contemplates a career in either the Air Force or Navy-or perhaps even the Army. E.H.
