The Arch – A Poem from 6940 Ron Stewart, Class of 1966
The Arch Blow soft you strong winds over the rich dead let bugles sound sad mourning strains as we step slow march to the rrrrum, pum, pum of the kilties’ lament on their pipes, on their drums.

The Class of 1992 and the Class of 2022 now share a bond of loss and of remembrance – Message from the Class of 1992
The Class of 1992 and the Class of 2022 now share a bond of loss and of remembrance. We will return every five years – together – to remember our time at RMC, those who return, those who do not and those who never could. I hope that the Class of 2022 can find a way to memorialize their lost classmates as we have. And I hope that across the 30 years that separates our classes, we can see ourselves in each other, bound by a common sadness of loss but comforted by the shared warmth of reminiscence.
My class have lost classmates as well. We have lost them due to their military service as well as after – Messages from the Class of 1984
So, while it may seem that these are likely the ramblings of someone who was born practically in the middle of the last century, it is also the voice of experience. And with that experience, I urge you to keep that contact between yourselves as a class. Embrace that unique relationship you all have because of your time at the College. The friendships you have made at RMC will last you a lifetime.

These lessons and memories will help you deal with all the future challenges that come your way – Message from the Class of 1979
Our Class has lost several classmates through the years and it always causes sadness and grief when we think of them to know that we will never meet again to tell stories and share experiences. However, in a strange way. it also always gives us a chance when we think of them to remember them fondly, to rejoice at knowing them, and to recall what we learned from them during our time together.
It is a unique experience that only those who have passed through the Colleges would understand – Message from the Class of 2017
The road was challenging: room and uniform inspections, parade practices, military training, SLT, intramurals, PPT, essays, science labs, late night study sessions fueled by caffeine, exams, capstone projects… you did it all, you made it through.

When we enroll in the military, we acknowledge that we will face risks. But we are also young and invincible—until we aren’t – Message from the Class of 1986
Lorsque nous nous enrôlons dans les forces armées canadiennes, nous reconnaissons que nous ferons face à des risques. Mais nous sommes aussi jeunes et invincibles, jusqu’à ce que nous réalisons que nous ne sommes pas. Le premier camarade de classe que nous avons perdu était en troisième année, pendant la fin de semaine de l’action de grâce.
