Sergeants' Mess Okeh
Makes 'Em Real Proud
Notable among the events of
the past months at RCAF Clinton
was the grand opening of the
newly remodelled Sergeants' Mess.
The strictly male "fling" follow-
ed close upon the heels 'of the
regular monthly mess meeting, at
which WO2 Murray Madsen sup-
pianted WO2 "Hank" 'Bennett as
guiding light and PMC of the
Mess. while Sgt. Person was elect-
ed to the position of Assistant
Secretary and Sgt, Dodds as Liv-
ing -in member.
Such mundane details being
disposed of, the 'serious business
of christening the Mess became
the sole project of some 100 mem-
bers who were to be found gath-
ered in odd corners of the gleam-
ing lounge until some more than
odd hours, discussing such works
of interior decorators art as the
wall to ceiling window on the
west face of the Mess, or the
white rooster wallpaper in the
ladies' lounge and .powder par-
lour.
Many of the officer personnel
who were present for the occasion
insisted that the NCO's were en-
deavoring to create a Taj Mahal
which however is quite false,
nevertheless the effect of the cut
stonework and `terrazzo topped
refreshment bar with its attend-
ant indirect lighting and large
mirrors does give rise to a feel-
ing of splendiferous sumptuosity.
The new games room, the walls
of which set the pace with wall-
paper of a champagne, dice and
cared motif, now houses the bil-
liard and ping-pong tables plus
ample space for the dart enthus-
iasts, who were at one time con-
tinually at odds with the weilders
of the noble cue, while the new
card room set off to the north of
the building will materially re-
duce the problem of what to do
with a ping-pong ball in the eye
while drawing to that inside
straight. The decorative scheme
here is resplendent with what Is
a very realistic wallpaper ver-
sion of a cut stone wall. in fact
.several people we know of have
been found standing facing same
with empty glasses in hand wait-
ing for Beecher or Lon to hand
out another crake before someone
advised them that the bar was
across the room. it was fairly
dark and quite late at the time
we admit.
This and other items too num-
erous to mention comprise the
saga of Operation Stag and we
sincerely hope that all those at-
tending were impressed by what
has been done and of the future
plans Which ere in store.
