THIS STATUE OF A CADET WAS PRESENTED TO THE COLLEGE AS PART OF THE 1976 CENTENNIAL YEAR CELEBRATIONS BY THE RMC CLUB OF CANADA AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BECAME THE PERFECT FOILS FOR SKYLARKS, INCLUDING BEING DRESSED AS A WOMAN; DRESSED AS QUEENS STUDENT AND DRESSED AS AN ABORIGINAL BY THE ALOY INDIGENOUS CADETS DURING THEIR SUMMER TRAINING. THE STATUE WAS QUICKLY GIVEN THE NICKNAME “BRUCIE”, A MONIKER THAT HAS STUCK EVER SINCE. PROBABLY ONE OF THE FAVOURITE PHOTOS OPS IS TO STAND BY THE STATUE AND ADOPT A SIMILAR POSE, THIS TIME BY LEE LAMONT WHO HAD JUST COME TO RMC IN 1977 AFTER SPENDING TWO YEARS AT RRMC
