Fun Pranks: What are Skylarks?

Skylarks are like big, clever pranks or jokes that a class at RMC plays each year. They are a fun way for cadets to show their creativity and teamwork.

A glider in the Royal Military College of Canada Cadet Dining Hall, 2012.

Here are some of the most memorable skylarks:

1933: A toy cannon, made in the college's mechanical engineering lab, was fired down a hallway.
1960: Cadets declared "martial law" over the Queen's University model parliament and took their prime minister into "protective custody."
1961: A football from Queen's University was "liberated" and flown back to their stadium by airplane.
1962: Lost rifles (without their important parts) were "stored" in a vault in Fort Haldimand.
1964: Cadets managed to lift a VW Beetle car up to the landing of Fort LaSalle!
1965: Toilet paper was shot from cannons.
1974: A cadet's car, an MG, was left on the second floor of the RMC library.
1976: Cadets painted a tank pink!
1979: Cadets used dental floss to ring the Spanish bell hanging in front of the Stone Frigate.
1979: A cadet climbed the Memorial Arch and painted "4 SQN" in the gravel on its surface. A squadron-mate flew over in a Cessna and took a photograph.
1984: The Mackenzie Building Tower clock was changed to look like a Mickey Mouse clock.
1993: While a cadet spent spring break in Florida, other cadets took turns filling his room with popcorn.
2003: During a graduation parade practice, a fake piper (in full uniform) was tossed from the bell tower of the MacKenzie building after a real piper's solo.
2007: Cadets set off a fireworks display during morning parade.
2008: The "Brucie" statue was dressed in traditional Aboriginal clothing by students from the Aboriginal Leadership Opportunity Year (ALOY). A "Headless horseman" also appeared at a parade. "RMC" was painted on the field of Richardson Stadium and was visible during a nationally televised football game.
2010: The "Brucie" statue was dressed in Queen's University '10 coveralls with a Superman "Q" on the front.
2011: A Victorian era cannon was found in the middle of the Cadet Dining Room.
2012: An air cadet glider measuring 54 feet by 27 feet was found in the middle of the Cadet Dining Room (picture above). Tables in the Cadet Dining Hall were rearranged to say "C Div". Cadets rolled a period 25-pounder cannon into the middle of the parade square, with a 12 squadron banner taped onto it. The Spanish Bell was unbolted from in front of the Stone Frigate and carried by 6 squadron for the duration of the FYOP Obstacle Course.
2013: 1 Squadron Cadets converted the steps of the Currie Building into a ship, HMCS Hudson. 8 Squadron Cadets announced that the commandant's 20+ year old car was for sale for $8.
2015: 5 Squadron Cadets placed a torpedo on the parade square before morning parade.

Memorial plaque dedicated to Royal Military College of Canada ex-cadets post World War II

The Memorial Arch, at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, built in 1923, is a monument which honors the memory of ex-cadets who have died in combat or while attending the College. The Memorial Arch, designed by John M. Lyle, is an example of the Beaux-Arts architecture. The Indiana limestone arch on a base of Quebec granite was built at a cost of $75,000.

The arch was unveiled by Mrs. Joshua Wright, mother of two cadets who gave their lives in the First World War.

The memorial includes the following texts:

Hark now the drums beat up again for all true Soldiers Gentlemen.
Je me souviens French I remember
Truth Duty Valour
Blow out your bugles over the rich dead. There's none of these so lonely and poor of old but dying has made us rarer gifts than gold. by Rupert Brooke
Pro Deo et Patrio, Latin for God and Country

The RMC Memorial Arch provides a list of officer cadets who were killed in action or died from wounds suffered in action under the following headings:
