VISIT OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR­ G ENERAL

IS EXCELLENCY the Right Honourable the Earl of Bessborough, P.C., G.C.M.G., LL.D., paid his third official visit to the College on HSaturday, May 5th. He was received by the Commandant on the College Square, where the Cadet Battalion was drawn up in review order. The Royal Salute was at once given and the band of the R. C.H. A. played the National Anthem. His Excellency then inspected the Battalion, after which the Battalion marched past in column of companies, returning in close column of com­ panies, by the left, then marching past in column of route, and finally advancing in Review Order and giving a Royal Salute. At the conclusion of the inspection the cadets formed up in hollow square and were briefly addressed by the Governor-General. In the course of his remarks he said that the reason for his annual visit was the deep interest he felt not only in the College but also in the cadets themselves. The Royal Military College was one of the finest institutions in Canada. "Some of you," he went on to say, "will not be on parade again another year, and it would be well for you to remember all that you have learned here in this great institution; if you do there will be little temptation in your later life. The remainder I hope to see again." His Excellency concluded his remarks by reminding his hearers that the College was built on a strong foundation and stood for the noblest traditions of Canada. Shortly after this ceremony the members of the staff had the honour of being presented to His Excellency by the Commandant, after which a demonstration of physical training and gymnastics took place in Fort Frederick, followed by an exhibition of demolition, the Governor-General himself blowing up one span of a bridge constructed by the Engineering Department. The morning activities were concluded by a photograph taken of the Governor-General, the Chief of the General Staff, and the whole college. His Excellency then honoured the Commandant and Mrs. Elkins with his presence at lunch, at which several of the senior members of the staff and their wives had the honour of being present. In the afternoon the Gover­ nor-General witnessed a ride and some boxing bouts, later taking tea in the officers' mess with the staff. On Sunday His Excellency attended Divine Service at St. George's Cathedral and read the lessons. At the conclusion of the service he took the salute of the Cadets and the R. C. H. A. He then drove over to the College and laid the foundation stone of the new College mess buildings. Once again he honoured the Commandant and Mrs. Elkins by taking lunch with them, and again several members of the staff and their wives had the honour of being invited. -W.R. P. B. LAYING OF FOUNDATION STONE OF NEW BUILDING BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL 12 R.M. C. REVIEW

GENERAL SIR ARTHUR CURRIE, G.C.l\LG., K.C.B.

HE death of General Sir Arthur Currie occurred last December just as we were going to press, but even at this late hour we wish to pay T our humble respects to a man who was acclaimed, not only in Canada and the Empire as a great soldier and a great civilian, but throughout the whole world as one of the leading figures of the Great War. Sir Arthur's association with the College was for several years a very intimate one, especially during the commandantship of his war comrade and staunch friend, Lieut.-General Sir A. C. Macdonell. When this R eview first started in 1920 Sir Arthur very kindly allowed his portrait to be used for the first frontispiece and also wrote our first "Foreword". His first visit to the College was on January 24th, 1920, when he was Inspector-General of the Canadian Forces. He spent the whole day here lunching with the Staff and Cadets and afterwards giving us the first of many eloquent and impressive addresses. He witnessed various college activities and before leaving expressed great pleasure at what he had seen. On May 17th, 1922, he was present at the opening of the Hall in the new Educational Building named after him and containing on its wall his portrait, copied from the original work of Sir William Orpen. The Hall bears, on a bronze tablet, over the main door, the following inscription:- "Named in honour of General Sir Arthur W. Currie, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., the victorious native-born commander of the Canadian Corps in the Great War, 1914-1919." The Sir Arthur Currie Hall was formally opened by The Hon. George P . Graham, at that time Minister of Militia and Defence, and both he and Sir Arthur made memorable speeches. From 1923-1928 Sir Arthur was a member of the College Advisory Board. Two of those years, 1924 and 1928, he was unable to be present but in the other four years he was Chairman of the Board; this duty kept him in close touch with the College and gave all who were at the College at that time the privilege of meeting him and of hearing his addresses. We are proud to feel that in the Sir Arthur Currie Hall and the Sir Arthur Currie portrait we have memorials to a great Canadian, memorials which will help to keep new generations from regarding merely as a historical or even legendary figure one who will always rank with the great men of the Empire, General Sir Arthur W. Currie. -W.R. P. B.

GENERAL SIR ARTHUR W. CURRIE, G.C.M.G., K.C.B. 15 JUNE, 1934

PROFESSOR FRANK IIERBERT DAY

T is with the greatest regret that we record the death of Prof. Frank H. Day, which occurred on April 20th, 1934. Since the middle of Janu­ ary Prof. Day has been in the Kingston General Hospital making a I very brave fight against hopeless odds. He refused to give in until the last moment when his indomitable spirit and strong constitution were forced to succumb. Born in Skowhegan, Maine, in 1886, Frank Day received his higher education from Boston University, where he obtained his B.A. degree :in 1907. For the next seven years he was a member of the Physics Staff of McGill University and during that time received his M.Sc. degree from that University. In October, 1914, he was appointed professor of Physics and Chemistry at the College in succession to No. 14, Captain J. B. Coch­ rane, and later became a Canadian citizen. On the 1st January, 1934, he succeeded Colonel E. J. C. Schmidlin, M.C., as Senior Professor. Always greatly interested in sports of every kind he had for many years been president of the Track Sports and the Harrier Committees and was a very keen follower of all college teams and athletic activities. In Kingston he had been an active member of the Kiwanis Club and a direc­ tor, and at one time captain, of the Cataraqui Golf and Country Club. The interest that he always took in the cadets and their work, and the amount of time that he was ever ready to devote to helping lame dogs over stiles, will not soon be forgotten by his old pupils. A man of forcible character, kindly and generous, a disciplinarian, a very able and clear lecturer, his place will not easily be filled . His funeral took place at St. Mark's Church, Barriefield, on April 23rd, and was conducted by the Rev. A. 0. Cooke, Rector of Barriefield, and the Rev. J. D. Mackenzie Naughton, Rector of St. James' Church, Kingston. Six members of the acamedic staff of the College and Messrs. Davis and Armstrong from Kingston acted as pall bearers. The Cadet Battalion formed a guard of honour from the highway to the Church and during the service lined the central aide and walls of the Church. After the service the Battalion again lined up and then headed the procession as far as the Memorial Arch. At the station the Commandant, the Staff, the ls} Class and many friends were lined up on the platform as the train moved out taking the body for burial to Boston. . The Adjutant-General, No. 621, Brig. C. F. Constantine, D.S.O., the Director of Engineer Services, No. 600, Col. E. J. C. Schmidlin, M.C., and No. 852, Major R. J.

Thus the days of defaulters, Infantry, P.T., Weapon Training, went on, and the recruits began to appear one by one in Blue. The Aquatic Sports gave us our first introduction to the people of Kingston and to those who were lucky enough, their first invitations out to dinner. At last in October came the Field Sports and the Obstacle Race, and when the gun fired, we started out into we knew not what. After much sweat­ ing and swearing, wet, greasy, and of a decidedly negro hue, Piers fell over the finish line, the first to win fame for the Class of '34. The College football team reached out and grasped from the hands of the competing universities the Dominion Intermediate Rugby title for 1930 and then we settled down to work. The Christmas exams approached and passed (some were, many weren't) and there were plenty of boys who studied in the Draughting room after the holidays. Our first Christ­ mas Dance was a night that will linger long in our memories. Did we enjoy it? And were we feeling good when the train pulled out at noon the next day? This year the College had two Battalion "Lids Offs" when we won the Rugby and Hockey Crowns. Back again from the holidays we swung into the old routine. Rush out to infantry: over to class: back and change for P.T.: so it kept on. Winter had come hard and fast and when the Winter Sports were held "A" Company again came to the fore. Slowly but surely the year was passing, with its battalion Infantries through piles of snow, and its "Duck Hunting". The Hockey team brought to the College the O.H.A. Title, following it with a victory over the lads from West Point. Memories of that week end include an eventful afternoon in which the recruits tried in vain to rid the square of about four feet of snow. The year now began to sprint past with the exams bearing down and threatening to swamp us all. The boys, with horrible nightmares of a Physics final, were sleeping soundly at their desks when the air was rent with the chilling scream of the College Siren-( don't get me wrong). The rush of every man to his post, and his curse at the fool who had caused a fire drill at such an ungodly hour were soon forgotten in the realization that here was some excitement after all. All through that night we watched the crackling flames and the billowing smoke roll sky­ ward taking with them the shattered dream of our first June Ball. Morning saw the Administration Building still trying to rid itself of water, while the College ate in state at the La Salle Hotel. The College Library was almost a total loss in this disastrous fire. Queen's University gave us the use of its buildings so that we could finish our exams, and four days later on Sunday, May 17th, the Senior Class followed the Colours off parade and we were no longer recruits. The exams had a big effect on the class and we lost 15 of the 76 that we started with. Some of us went to the Air Force, the Signals, the Navy, and the rest home till September.

Oun. THIRD CLASS YEAR Our return to the College in the fall of our Third Class Year was perhaps more exciting than any other. Having just finished a whole year with the help of the gods and Joe Hees, we were anxious to look over the recruits and see how They behaved. Six-thirty the first morning saw a nude battalion plunge into the lake, much to the amazement and embarrassment of several American tourists in a yacht on Navy Bay, and then we started out to chase the enemy up 41 JUNE, 1934 and down Barriefield Common. This chase lasted about three weeks during which time we tore up the 100 yard mound on the ranges trying to shoot with open sights and shut eyes, and in running levels around the administration building. Pontoon bridges and derricks rose up and fell (ask Foster) under our hands, and this new idea of learning to ride has caused some of us to harbour many painful memories. We spent several days building a ski trail to be ready for the snow, two years later. The fall was slipping by and the Cross Country Run ( ?) was past. The "late classes" started and the traditional storm of protest was raised. We found that the Maths. and Chemistry Departments had some new treats in store for us. Those little bits of nothing called dx and dy; the molecular theory and the equilibrium constant; how we hated them,­ and how they hounded us. With the Christmas leave came a break, and then back to find two finals staring us in the face. The Spring term went quickly; there was no snow and no ice, and no Winter Sports. We settled down to try to master the invincible dx and we learned that ammeters are meant to be put into the circuit and not across it. With this Spring term came the Novice Boxing competi­ tions that we had missed the year before on account of the fire, and following this the numerous ceremonials and displays that it became our duty to put on. The final exams came along and we weathered the storm with very few casualties. Those elected to represent the College at the Assault in Montreal were watched with envious eyes as they drilled. Those to whom the lot fell to remain at once started to put the College into shape for our first June Ball. An arch was built on the long pier which of course fell down, brush was cut that was no good, as usual, and the wind blew to shreds everything that had been built. The last touches were finally added and the great Day came. It being our first June Ball we all were eager for the great night to arrive, and though the wind played havoc with the pier the dance was a great success. A day later we packed our trunks and started home to forget about our supps till we returned in September. SECOND CLASS y EAR Our year started with both joy and sorrow-the first because Stairs and Millar were resplendent with stripes-the second because Major Holloway and Captain Kellar had left. Again we spent September chasing the enemy from Barriefield right into a bee-hive and hayloft at Kilburnie. We learned more about mousemeat and cheese dreams than we did about planetabling, and before the winter swept down upon us we had actually driven one pile. More mathematics and an introduction to the steam engine brought us back to the old grind again with the start of the winter schedule. Kirchoff's Laws and the Single Slider Crank told us that with all our dx's and dy's there was much that we hadn't learned yet. October, with the splendour of autumn, cast a cloud over the College a .... when Buckie was taken from us. His absence made itself felt on the track and the football field, and his cheery smile was missed from the dormitories. The Fall flew past taking with it the Armistice Leave, and bringing the exams ever closer. The Christmas Dance came and went. The winter term set in and the Class remained in seclusion chasing a Blue Force 42 R . M.C. REVIEW from "Bottom Down" to "Wintergreen Copse": trying to find the effici­ ency of a steam engine from an indicator card: and mixing up a "U" packing with the L.B.M. What a year! Then to emerge from under the flood of exams to find that we had no more maths-that's what we thought till we started our engineering subjects in October. Easter saw stripes granted to Riordon and Gagnon - both well merited. The Petawawa trip was a new experience for the whole College. The two days that we spent seeking a Red Force from cross road to cross road saw us back again to spend another sleepless night under the onslaught of the mosquitoes. The days that we watched the Artillery practice, and tried to bridge the Petawawa river were very interesting, and when we landed back in Kingston we were glad to see the old square once more. The June Ball was a great success, and the rain held off till we were getting our picture taken, and then it didn't matter. As we left work was started on the new Mess building. SENIOR YEAR September, 1933 ! We had returned to start away on the last lap, with our original 76 now whittled down to 48. How anxious we were to see what our recruits looked like, and how they compared with others. Congratulations were extended to those of us who had received their stripes, and who now appeared laden down with the gold braid. The revised battalion organization to six companies was new to us and after a few slips here and there it has proved successful, creating much more competition than before. We started right out getting ourselves into the picture from Kingston Mills to Glenvale, depending upon where the buses stopped, and whether Jake wanted to do Tactics or sleep. The days of Lewis-gun shooting gave us much enjoyment, and Andy, the Religious Critic, has the renown of doing more damage to one gun in firing five rounds than the "Man Mountain" did to Cherub when he hit him over the head with a desk. The Engineering department found that we still didn't know an awful lot about either running a traverse or planetabling, and the M.E. Department is still wondering how they are going to replace the tree on Tommy Brock's Island. Like our first year this final year bears the scar of a ,fire's rage. The boathouse, with all our skiffs and canoes, died the death of a viking. It was quite a hard knock to the College but the insurance has meant a speedy replacement. The Fall term was uneventful in the -football season, but the cloudless nights found us seeking Alpha Lyrae, and Polaris everywhere from the South Pole to the first point of Aries. They were especially notice­ able when we did our observing on cloudy nights as many of us had to. Thanksgiving leave saw Col. Schmidlin transferred to Ottawa, and those who knew him as we did have mis ed his calm manner and imposing personality both from the class room and the Machinery Hall. Our losses by Major Goodeve's removal to Toronto and Col. Gardiner's death have taken from the College in one year a coach that brought our football team to many victories, and in the other a Doctor and friend of us all. The fall term with its exams passed, and then Christmas. The hockey team tried in vain to batter down its opposition, but finally came to a glorious win at West Point, which keeps our record of victories over the Army unbroken. JUNE, 1934 45

The new study plan in Building Construction has proved in many ways both ucce sful and unsuccessful. It just depends upon whether Jake brings his books or not. Einstien's Theory about freezing water on a hot stove has caused much amazement and consternation among the boys in the Stone Frigate who have visions of being even colder than Droop claims his room can be. In March Col. Fortt was moved to Winnipeg and we miss his cheery "Go on, plea e." Thus the old term is passing, and now we have only the visions of a host of exams and an unfinished boathouse. To those who come after us we can but wish the best of luck and to our recruits success and achievement in all they attempt. Now as we leave we all join in the Class Song, "The Spirit of the Class of '34".

STRANGE INTERLUDE

"CLASS 'shun. Dismiss." Millar salutes smartly, and Mr. Lowe, having delivered a lecture on Relativity and the intricacies of Time and Space, departs. In an instant there is slamming of desks and a general hub­ bub. Cigarettes and pipes are lit, and lads make for the radiators. It is always the same lot and down the line we see MacKay, Ross, Hamilton, and Billings. Coleman and Smith have already started a fight at the back of the room and are tussling on the floor without thought for undress and blues. A crowd encircles them, cheering lustily with the familiar cat-calls. Burne~t has annoyed Peck, and Peck is chasing him about the room, hither and yon, pushing around stools and desks in the mad gambol. Jacobsen has taken Fyshe's cigarette, and they, too, join in the jocosity, bounding from desk to desk. Fyshe, be careful! Alas, too late, for a desk, unable to stand the excessive strain of Taffy's bulk, collapses amid c?nsiderable merriment. Not content with the present pandemonium, the pieces are soon flying about in this gay ridotto. Darwin, with his elastic band and lead pellets, is having a field day, c~oosing as his mark the rear of the Smith-Coleman gallery. Time after ~1me his victim feels a sudden sting and retreats to a position of safety Ill front of the next unfortunate. "Get to your seats," yells Millar - a command which must be re­ peated several times before it carries though the high-jinx. There is a general straightening of desks, and wiping of brows, before the class settles down to await a lecture on Building Construction. What a paradox! Dum vivimus vivamus ! -T. L. BROCK. 46 R.

When there were six batteries at once, this administration at times became quite complex. 60 R.M. C. REVIEW

The duties of us cadets were at once interesting and instructive. The first week or so passed in trying to look as much iike officers as possible, in revising our opinions of Petawawa in general, and in picking up a work­ ing knowledge of the rudiments of artillery. Since much of the work forms the artillery course of our senior year at College there was a great deal to absorb. As the right hand men of the Group Instructors, we led a merry life mcleed. During the first few days of a week we might be seen dashing about the camp hot on the trail of some elusive brigade adjutant, collecting forms and reports, or attending lectures of our Group Instructor, assisting him at miniature range work, at director work, or at battery ~rili. At other times on manoeuvres or shoots, we would cavort about the wilds of Petawawa on horseback or in a careening Crossley, trying to locate a long overdue battery, or to orientate some battery leader who seemed to have set his course for Hudson Bay. Our benign influence was brought to bear on any G.P.0. whose No. 1 gun seemed laid on Camp Headquarters. or whose G.P.0.A. was left out in front with the director after "Fire" was given. On predicted shoots and Brigade schemes we helped college pro­ fessors work out logarithms and do trigonometry, we helped tired busine s men puzzle out meteor reports. On competitive shoots we acted as record­ ers at the battery. Here we saw the results of our week's work, and tried to write it down, often in pouring rain. Friday and Saturday were notor­ iously rainy. Then, before they left us, was the scramble to retrieve loaned maps, to collect reports and forms, from the outgoing batteries. At the Camp School, the R.C.S.A. offered a week of qualifying courses for militia officers and men. This period followed the regular week's field training. Attendance varied greatly from week to week. Here Bernat­ chez's first work was the construction of a large sand table map of Peta­ wawa and vicinity. Other duties included: tabulating marks of exams, preparing various reports and forms for the R.C.S.A., supervising the issue and return of books, maps, and precis. This cadet often found time and opportunity to accompany one of the others in the outdoor work. At the beginning of August, Darwin was changed over to the School and Bernat­ chez got a much-desired opportunity to do some instructing in the field. But our life was by no means all work. The preponderance of ex­ cadets, including five of last year's graduates, in the R.C.H.A. and R.C.A., made a very cordial group of all the officers. Also, there were many ex­ cadets and a number of our own class in the militia batteries; at one time there was nearly half of the present senior class in the mess at once. Our pastimes included riding, swimming, tennis, soccer, and sun bathing. In the evenings, Pembroke invited those who had cars, Fort William was just across the river, and occasional golf club dances were well attended. The visit of His Excellency the Governor-General was a high light of the summer. He took an active interest in the training and conduct of the camp, and left pleasant impressions with the young officers who were privileged to speak with him. The advent of the 32nd Battery from King­ ston was heralded with joy. It contained four of our own professors, whose instruction formed our special delight. The Mounted Mechanized Sports, and the Field Sports proved very interesting events. Each Sunday even­ ing everyone who could from the surrounding country gathered at camp to hear a very excellent band concert by the R.C.H.A. Band. On Wednes­ day nights, picture shows were offered to the camp. On Monday evenings we were regaled with excellent vaudeville and skits by the Sergeants' Mess troupe. JUNE, 1934 63

This happy attachment to the R.C.H.A. ended on August 26th. We will long retain pleasant memories of Petawawa, of lasting friendships both in the R.C.H.A. and in the many batteries that came and went. Not the least of our friends was Col. Stewart, the Camp Commandant, whose constant interest in our welfare, and helpful advice contributed much to the· success of the summer. To our Group Instructors, too, we are indebted. Their forbearance and understanding were highly appreciated. Let us hope succeeding second classes may have the same opportunity. -B. H. DARWIN.

From its doors men have gone to the four Acorners of the earth, fought upon the outposts of Empire, and fol­ lowed with credit the more peaceful pursuits of their own country; yet the history of the conditions under which their characters were moulded is but fragmentary. Those tales which have been passed on verbally, from year to year, have at times lost any authentic form, and too often have shown the results of human nature's proneness to embellish. Indeed the gentleman cadet of to-day catches but scattered glimpses of the Col­ lege past, and may become the slave of certain false traditions. Time must discard that which is worthless, but time should be afforded the facilities to temper that which is worthy of retention. Being Canada's only national seat of education, the citizen should have access to a record of the Royal Military College's past. He must, no matter how short his vision, realize that the results have justified, and continue amply to justify its existence. But this fact he must learn from the present, whilst the weight of the past remains lost through a lack of knowledge, and the absence of the means of knowing. Yet if he could but see the years which have gone, he would learn the three cardinal principles underlying this success - a sound policy, conscientious staff effort, and a predominant cadet esprit de corps. To appreciate fully the present one must know something of the past. The first steps have been taken to lay the foundation of a history. Official sources will supply material for this, but memories of cadet life, and reminiscences of intimate events at the College from former members ?f the Staff and ex-cadets, are essential if the history is to be of any real mterest or value. Indeed a true life picture must embrace those every­ day happenings which are divorced from the subject matter of official correspondence. If those who have known the College in bygone days will search their minds for material of interest and value, and give to the College the benefits of their memory, they will materially assist in producing that for which there is an urgent need. Customs, stories, and details of life in general will all be of use, and by this co-operation it may be possible to produce a story which will be of value to those future generation upon whose shoulders will rest the task of carrying on the work, the prestige, and the traditions of the College. -H.

N answer to a question as to who was the first ex-cadet to be created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, the Editor has I compiled the following notes. He will be grateful for any corrections. The Order was instituted by Her Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria on September 6th, 1886. The Bar to the Order was instituted by His Majesty King George V on August 23rd, 1916. The Order was designed as a new Naval and Military Order of Distinction for the purpose of rewarding individual instances of meritorious or distinguished service in war.

J N"IOR 0. II. A. R.M.C. vs. Kingston This year the College came back into the Junior hockey series and fielded a team mostly made up of recruits. The team was much better than it has been for , everal years and they played some good hockey. The game against Kingston was played on January 23rd. The play was excep­ tionally close, the cadets losing by a 5 to 3 score. The first period found the College trailing by 1 goal. In the second period the cadets dominated the play and before long Savard and Coristine each had scored. This put them 1 goal up. In the next few minutes, however, the College had three penalties allotted to them. This left only three men on the ice and Kingston had little difficulty in scoring. The final goal of the game was scored by Gordon for Kingston. This game demonstrated that with a little more practice the College was going to have a smooth working and effective Junior team.

R.M.C. vs. Queen's In the Juniors' first game against Queen's they lost by a score of 6 to 2. The game was played at the Jock Harty arena on January 24th. Again the cadets showed their best hockey in the second period when both teams scored once. In the first period the College scored only one to three goals for the Tricolour team. In the last period the pace speeded up considerably but the College were unable to score any more goals. Whitaker played the best game for the cadets, scoring one goal and starting many plays that almost produced goals. On the defence, ree and Savard played well to­ gether and were a difficult pair to get around. The second game was played on January 29th. This was the best game the Juniors played all season and they were unfortunate to lose out in overtime by a 6 to 5 score. In the first two periods Coristine scored three straight goals while Queen's obtained one. However, late in the second period Davis for Queen's tied the score when he tallied two goals in quick succcession. The College again went into the lead soon after the start of the last when Whitaker scored. Queen's came right back again when Avery scored two goals. This put them in the lead but with about five minutes to go Carson, F. S., tied up the game and forced it into over­ time. In the extra time Murley scored the goal which won the game for Queen's. This game was as close as the score indicates and it was a hard one for the cadets to lose. Coristine and Whitaker were the best for the College and Carpenter played well in goal. 75 JUNE, 1934 R.M.C.-Goal, Carpenter; defence, Savard and Fee; centre, Whitaker; wings, Coristine and Carson; F.

R.M.C. vs. Gananoque The opening game of the season was played at Gananoque on January 15th. The College found themselves up against a speedy and well drilled team and they were forced to accept a 7 to 4 defeat. The ice was in excel­ lent shape and at the end of the first period Gananoque had established a three goal lead. In the next two periods the play became faster and each team scored four goals. Kelly and Monette each got one while Peck scored two for the College. The Gananoque team were quite a bit faster than the cadets and deserved the victory. It was a cleanly played game, there only being three penalties awarded. Peck was the best for the College, scoring two goals and working hard the whole game. The second meeting of the two teams was at the Jock Harty arena on January 31st. This was the best game the College played all season and it certainly was a hard one to lose. Right at the outset the cadets opened up and with a number of smart passing plays succeeded in scoring five goals. This all happened in the first twelve minutes of the game. Near the end of the period Gananoque put in two goals and thus at the end of the period the College were leading 5 to 2. Rainnie, Peck, Monette, Mac­ Brien and Kelly scored the goals for the College. The game roughened up a bit in the second period and the determined Gananoque team scored two more. However, Kelly scored again when he batted in a rebound as the Gananoque team were playing a man short. In the last period Gananoque started off with a fast and powerful attack which netted them four goals. Near the end of the game Peck scored the final goal on a solo effort and the game ended with the score 8 to 7 for Gananoque.

R.M.C. at Queen's This year Queen's had an exceptionally strong and fast team which eventually was to win the group title. The first game was played on January 24th. The cadets lost by the score of 7 to 2 but the cadets low score was chiefly due to the brilliant work of James, in goal, who apparently was unbeatable. The cadets penetrated through Queen':;; defence time and again but James played stellar hockey. Monette scored the first goal, which was tied by Arthurs towards the end of the first period.

REYIE'V OF THE HOCKEY SEASON, 1933-34

HE hockey season, 1933-1934, was one of great activity, more so than of any previous year. The winter was extremely severe with the T excellent result that perfect ice was available in the Holt Rink from early in December to the end of l\Iarch. More games were played, more members of the Staff and many more cadets made use of the rink. Those interested in hockey at Project No. 37 Camp were allotted one hour every evening for their games and practices and made full use of their hour. Following the practice of other years two teams were entered in the Intermediate and Junior Intercollegiate and O.H.A. series. The College teams, despite many losses, played good hockey and maintained the Col­ lege reputation for clean, well-contested games. The Intermediate team played a total of 9 and the Junior a total of 6, including exhibitions. Some 24 players took part as members of the first and second teams. The Inter-Company hockey series was a very interesting feature of the season. It is the first sport to complete a double schedule on the new six-company basis. This schedule was in every sense a success. Thirty games, the full number, were played, most of them with close scores, and an unflagging interest was maintained to the very end. The Inter- 81 JUNE, 1934 Company championship was won by "F" Company with 17 out of a pos­ sible 20 points. Some 90 cadets took part, which number together with that of the College teams brought the total number of those for whom hockey provided healthy recreation to more than one hundred, an increase of about 50 o/o over any previous year. Our annual match against the U.S.M.A. was played this year at West Point. The game took place in the evening before a packed rink and re­ sulted in a win for the College by the score of 6 to 4. The score indicates the closeness of play. It was undoubtedly the best game of the entire series. This year we bid good-bye and good luck to five members of the First class who had made the First Hockey Team: H. H. Peck, the able hockey captain, who worked all season unstintingly for the welfare of the team; C. Carling-Kelly, the vice-captain; J. H. R. Gagnon, H. H. Monette, and P. E. Bernatchez. Our good wishes also go to J. L. Dery, our conscientious and energetic hockey manager. It is too early to predict the strength of next year's team but it is felt that the training and work of the team of 1933-34, coupled with the effect that is bound to result from the new inter-company series will enable the college to put out a team of which it will be proud.

DUNDON ALD CUP COl\lPETITION, 1934

This competition was held over the usual course on upper Barriefield Common on the afternoon of 16th May, 1934. No alteration was made in the course this year, and the only change in the conditions was that in­ stead of one team from each of the four Platoons there was one team from each of the six Companies. The constitution of each team was as follows: two gentlemen cadets from the First Class, one from the Second, and one from the Third. The standing of the teams and the points allotted were as follows:

EX-CADETS AT CA~IBRIDGE UNIVERSITY I No. 2027, J. G. Carr has very kindly sent us the following notes ·concerning ex-cadets at Cambridge. No. 1971, H. R. deB. Greenwood, R.E., Third Year Engineering. Managed Cambridge University Ice Hockey Team on the Continent. Spent three months of last summer as a surveyor on an expedition to Spitzbergen. From the map he has produced and the pictures he has shown he seems to have had a very interesting but trying experience, fighting the cold and living on very small rations. No. 1973, E. R. Gurney was doing research work in Engineering but left after Christmas to take a job in a Diesel Works in Newcastle. It is reported he is doing exceedingly well and likes the job. Played wing on the Ice Hockey team. No. 1976, G. H. Hees; studying Economics, only, but in sports has tried everything, including rowing, and has distinguished himself by boxing heavyweight for Cambridge and beating his even larger opponent from Oxford. He played on the Cambridge Lacrosse team which beat Oxford for the first time since 1911 and won the cham­ pionship of South England. He proved himself a star in goal at hockey when our regular man was hurt. No. 1997, R. T. L. Rogers, R.E., Third Year Engineering. A very able captain of the Cambridge Ice Hockey Team, besides playing on the Lacrosse team and captaining his College Squash team. Last year he was also a candidate for the University Badminton team but has not had time for it this year. He was president of the Canada Club in Cambridge. No. 2027, J. G. Carr R.E., Second Year Engineering. Played defence on the Cambridge1 University Ice Hockey Team. Represented the Uni­ versity in Lacrosse. Played Rugger for King's College. N.B.-As the sender of these notes is very humble about himself the Editor would like to add the following quotation from the London Daily Mail. "In recent years the Dark Blues have had an uninterrupted run of success (in ice hockey) but Cambridge have improved out of all knowledge as the result of their recent continental tour. In R. T. Rogers (Downing), the captain, and J. G. Carr (King's), who is equally at home in defence and attack, the Light Blues have two of the best players in the country." No. 2084, J. W. Eaton, First Year Economics. While not indulging in any particular sport he has played the odd game of squash and has spent a great deal of time in seeing England, both from the ground and the air. He is a member of the Cambridge University Air Squadron and is one of the best pilots they have. No. 2204, T. D. Archibald, First Year Economics. Played wing on the Cambridge University Ice Hockey Team. Took up rowing at the beginning of the year, doing so well that he was put in his College crew and has been pulling his weight ever since.
