"Good old McGoo" is not, as his nickname implies, nearsighted; far from it! Les came to Royal Roads to continue a prof\lising military career, started with such great success in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets, as an " Infanteer" in the Princess Pats. He should make a very good soldier; always stick~ to his guns-whether at studies, at sports, Or when arguing some small point such as why it would have been better for the world if Napoleon had not been stopped at Waterloo, Les never admits defeat. With an Honour Arts course liberally laced with his favourite subject, History, awaiting him at R.M.C., Les does not neglect hi, studies for a moment. Studies for him are spelt with a capital "S" and he has his schedule o rganized down to a "T"! His methodic and meticulous academic habits provide an excellent example to all. As a friend, Les is the best. Reticent and reserved, he has a mind of his own. and will not hesitate to express his opinions if one should feel inclined to a friendly argument. For the future? Les has lined his horizons with a wall of Hi s tory Volumes, and can consequently not see too far yet. As it s tands he is content to wait and see. Along whatever path the quirks of destiny lead him. he will surely do well. Just stick to your guns, Les!
No. 4172 S I C WILLIAM DAVID MITCHELL Smith Falls, Ontario Air Force
Mitch is one of those Cadets who had to survive a survival course before returning to the College for his Senior year. Mitch has two favourite positions in College. You will find him either seated five rows behind the rest of the class Or in the Chief's office using the telephone. In both his Junior and Senior year Dave managed to keep up an active social life on the weekends. Nevertheless his "academics" are good and his turn-outs good enough to get him a Leading Cadet's position in the second term. In his spare time Dave likes to work on his stamp collection in which he takes great pride. He also makes quite a splash in the College's rep "Learn to Swim Class". During summer training he took Navigation at Winnipeg. His room-mate will testify that Mitch could find his way to the Y.M.C.A. dances blinfolded or in the darkest nights. At R.M.C. Dave plans to take an Arts Course to be followed by a course in Law at Osgoode Hall. He has not yet decided whether to be a Corporation or Criminal Lawyer.

Jock, as a true western gentleman, brought with him much joy for the female set of Victoria. Jock's talent on the dance floor seems to be unlimited. At any dance one can spy him, the centre of a hive of activity, tripping to a beat which has left most of us far behind. Besides these conspicuou s attributes Jock was the driving force in his I nter-flight Sports during the two years he spent with us. His specialty is soccer. If you happened to be down on the Lower Field last fall and sa\\' a five foot five streak go down the field. that was Jock. Academically Jock is a true engineer and is little interested in the arts. He has stood well in his term both years. He recently transferred from Electrical to Mechanical Engineering and he plans to go on to the Royal Naval Engineering College next year. At present Jock's future plans are indefinite. He still wants to be an Engineer on "Civvy Street", but I am quite sure that in twenty years we will find "Forty Knot" Mulgrew on the bridge of a destroyer whiffing the briny air. He will make many friends with his sincere manner and his abounding good humour, and wherever he goes he will be long remembered.
