He discussed his idea with the Canadair authorities for approval. Finally in 1955 the

MAJ. S. Taylor Commamnding Offic er

The training year is drawing to an end and I feel that it was a very successfull year for the Squadron. The effort put forth by all is evident when we see how the cadets have progressed during the year.

We cadets retire of our

have seen new recruits develop into well trained and we have seen more senior cadets continue to their leadership skills. This, in effect, is the aim organization and it is rewarding to see it succeed.

I would like to thank the staff, sponsors and parents for their continued support during the training year. without you it would be impossible to accomplish our goals.

Finally, I wish you all a good summer. For those of y ou attending a camp, I wish you good luck.

I hope to see y ou all in September.

BAND MESSAGE,

_

588 - 621 Canadair band is made up of 40 cadets who each play an instrument. This year, the band went to four parades:St-Laurent and Mascouche Remembrance Day parades, stPatrick day parade and 701 Squadron Annual Review. M. Philippe Lamarre and I were very impressed by the band's performance. This year's objective was to combine good drill and good music. It might seem easy to some of you but it isn't!

Some cadets have to look to their instruments while they play, and at the same time, they have to keep their dressing.

I would like to thank all band members for the time they spent at the building for band practices and for their individual practices at home. without you, nothing would have been possible.

I have enjoyed being the Drum Major and being in charge of the band. Since I won't bee the Drum Major next year, I wish the same for my successor. I would like to wish good luck to Sgt. Karigiannis and Sgt. Bonfiglio who are competing for this position.

HAVE A GOOD SUMMER•••

Christ.a. 1990

On the night of December 18, 1990, there was a little Christmas party in place of our regular' training night. This gave the Cadet. the oppqrtunity to relax, and get to know each other better.

tirst there was a gift exchange between the cadets. Every

Christmas cadets buy gifts for

each other, then exchange them.

This has been a tradition in 588 for many years. Soon after there was a couple of fun, messy activities. These activities included: balloon shaving, grapefruit eating, cracker whistling and last but not l.ast, the famous PIE THROWING CONTEST ! Near the end of the night each Cadet was given a chocolate Santa Clause provided by the Civilian Committee.

PARENTS NIGHT 1991

Parents night is a night in which cadets look forward to with pride.

On this day Cadets get the opportunity to show their

parent. everything they had learned in the fist half of the training year.

The Parade began like any other until the Reviewing Officer marched out on parade. The R.O. this year was Major Linton, who is a Major in the Cavalry. The Cadets were very impressed by his distinguished uniform and his words of motivation,

at the end of his speech he said,

II

Cadets, I salute

you ". Which gave everyone a strong feeling of pride. His presence at Parents Night was one of short notice. For this we thank him greatly.

Mini-Olympiad 588 Canadair participated in the Mini-Olypiad held on June 09, 1990; the hosts were 803 North-Shore Sabre Squadron. It was an exciting day full of team work and motivation which led us to win for the 6th time consecutively. We had an outstanding performance in the Canada Fitness Awards and did well on the relay races. Hopefully with the same team work and motivation we can keep the trophy ours for years to come.

West Island Bowling Competition

This year our squadron hosted the West Island Bowling Competition. It was held May S, 1991, at Laurentian Lanes in St. Laurent. Through a little hard work and training

see

brought home the trophy. The medal for the

bowler with the highest score went to edt. J. Langlois of

see.

The first game went very well. During the practices

strikes were hard to get, but that day it seemed that strikes

were all we could get. After the first game,

everyone was warmed up and every other game only got better.

The Langlois twist, the Karaartinyan approach, the Levesque curve, the Adams twist

these were all little things that

made our day even better. 701 N.D.G. Squadron came in 2nd place and 690 Lakeshore Squadron came in 3rd place.

Hopefully next year with a little bit of hard work

see

can

bring back the trophy once again.

We would like to extend our thanks to Mr.and Mrs. Langlois for all their time and hard work. We would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs.Adams for their time and hard work. Without them the bowling tournament would not have been the success that it was.

B L A Civilian Committee chairman Bernie Campbell (right) is happy to receive a new trophy for the Air Cadets from Canadair's firemen represented here by Clermont Blais.

The Canadair squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Cad ets hold their 29th annual inspection May 26 at Plant 2. This is the cadets ' special da y to shine and receive their honors before visiting military dignitaries and friends . Reviewing officer this year is Lt.-Gen . K. Tho mecroft (rel'd) of Transport Canada, Ottawa, and three new trophies will be presented for the first time.

The Tom Mooney Memorial Trophy has been donated by nine com pany firemen in memory of the late Capt. Mooney , chief of Can adair's Fire Department, who died last May.

"Capt. Moone y spent almost 35 years of his life at Ca nadair and we want ed to honor his memo ry.

Because of his association with the cadets, we though t a trop hy would be an appropriate way," said fireman Clermont Blais.

Civilian committee cha irman Bernie Campbell sa id Capt.

Mooney 's devotion , co-operation and interest in the welfare of the Can adair air cadets had been an incentive to all the officers and civilian staff of the squadrons. His son James was a top cadet and is on the honor board in the cadet barracks . Both James and Mrs. Mooney will be at the inspection to

present the trop hy to the cade t who has obtained the highest evaluation in the glider pilot train-, ing scholarship , a six-week sum mer cou rse granted by the gove rnment.

The two othe r new trophies , for the top senior and junior band smen , were donated by the Leadhand's Association and by Ian Geddes , who retired last December.

There are abou t 150 cadets in the two Canadair squadrons, 621 and 588, which were started in 1954.
