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.
