Although his inspection (above) found a ' few gaps in the ranks, it had nothing to do with absenteeism. Unfortunately, the weather was a little too - good for the outdoor parade and several cadets succumbed to the heat. Music in the park entertains again Were you one of the lucky I. Park" afternoon?

TERRACE — The sun shone and so did the members of 747 Squadron Air Cadets as they put on an impressive display for family and friends at their re- cent annual inspection. Reviewing officer for the oc- casion was Major C.J. Thorp, base maintenance officer at CFB Chilliwack. Following Thorp’s inspec- tion, the cadets executed a brisk march past the reviewing stand before the first aid team took centre stage for a demonstration of their skitls — a squadron team took top spot in last Year’s B.C. championship. Then it was on to the presen- tation of awards (see box below) before the cadets and their to the Kkkknx goes on parade Membership in the air cadets is open to anyone between the ages of [2 and 19.

Prince Formed 27 years ago this fall, Terrace’s 747 Squadron Air Cadets began with a promise Kevin Van Herd made to his stepson Bruce Douglas as the family prepared to move here from Prince Rupert — if there was no such organization in Terrace, he would work to form one. After Douglas found a willing ally in grade 12 student Jim Ar- mgrin, Yan Herd joined the pair in’ a recruiting drive that Tesulted in a Noy. 11, 1963 meeting at the Civic Centre at- ‘tended by more than 75 boys. ‘With parents and local businessmen acting as the initial sponsoring group, an applica- tion for formation of a local squadron ‘was sent off to Pacific region air cadet headquarters. Eight individuals signed that charter application including Gordon Little and Harry Smith. The squadron formed, the parents took over the task of sponsorship for the next two years with Fred Bass as presi- dent and Len Casey as vice- president. Wayne Hodges, another member of the group, played a major role in all pre- jects undertaken during that period including construction of the squadron’s offices at the Civic Centre, As the original cadets left the squadron, their fathers lost in- terest in the organization and as a result sponsorship passed to the Lions Club in 1965, The centre soon became. too cramped . for the expanding squadron prompting a move to the Veritas Hall. ee However, disaster struck in August 1967. the squadron’s equipment and records, Undaunted, the group began looking for new head- quarters. After being petitioned by Van Herd, commanding of: ficer at -the ‘time, the ‘school district gave the cadets. permis- sion to use the projection room in the Skeena school basement and. access: to three - upstairs classrooms. rer For both. staff and’ cadets, when a fire. destroyed the hall and with it all there was a feeling of being ina brand new squadron. When Van Herd moved to Kelowna in carly 1968, Tom Reeves took over as C/O and was in turn succeeded by Dave Simons. In the fall of 1969 sponsorship changed -hands again with the Royal Canadian Legion branch 13 assuming the responsibility — it has kept it since — with Derek Hales as: sponsoring committee chair- man. uo Charles Lindstrom became C/O in April 1970 and during his tenure the squadron was on the move again, this time to more spacious quarters in the basement of Clarence Michiel ’ school where it had access to the gymnasium each Wednesday night. ; Command of the squadron changed hands again in 1973 when Derek Hales began a 12 year stint as C/O, In 1976 the air. cadets pur- chased a share in a glider and the following year, with an interest-free loan from the Legion, bought a Super Cub aircraft to tow it. The summer of 1984 sew the addition of a L-233 Schweitzer glider, pur- chased by the sponsoring com- mittee at a cost of $12,500, That proved to be.a busy year for both cadets and the commit- tee with the building of a shelter at Woodcock airstrip to de used during cadets’ fam-flying exer- cises and a start to construction of iis present headquarters at the Terrace-Kitimat airport. — “Charles Meek took over as ._ commanding officer in December 1985 and the fotlow- ing April the squadron moved into the airport facility — it was officially opened June.7, 1986. Shortly thereafter, a donation - from the Legion’s Ladies-Aux- iliary allowed the squadron to . buy a 66-seat bus, "| Since then change of com- mand ceremonies. have taken “place twice, first when Capt.
