MEMORIES OF A SATURDAY NIGHT

It was a real success. There was no question about it. That barn dance and Halloween party at the Natatorium in Douglas on Satur- day was even better than we'd dared hope. Thanks to the gen. erous cooperation of several dozen men of the Army and the Coast Guard and among the civilians,- Capt. McNichols, It. Hendrickson, Arne Shudshift Representing the trustees of the Nat), Soldiers John Kane, Larry Baldino and all the men of his section, the drivers for the Motor Pool, the entire member ship of the Servicemen's Band, and to each of the GSO girls who made those delicious cookies,-yes, thanks to all of these, the affair was a memorable success.
 The achievement in one par ticular field by two of the men will not soon be forgotten Sol diers John Fischer and Mike Bruno, of Chicago, that pair of ingenious decorators par excellance. As the Decorating Committee, they started with absolutely nothing. If they

ing spot for the men. Certainly that's just what the clubhouse has become since Tuesday night when our staff acquired brand-new genial smile and very winning pair of friendly eyes.
 Yes, the Juneau USO has been proud to show off this charming addition to it's organization, Miss Isabel Peard, of Millbrook, New York. But we can't claim bit of the credit; and, we're sorry to say, she can stay only a day or two longer. She won't be far away, however, for she is to become di- rector of the Skagway club.
 Up from years service with the USO in Brazil, Isabel already is thrilled with Alaska, so we're confident she'll find the Skagway scene to her liking. And we are no less certain that the servicemen up there are going to find Isabel to their liking,-definitely sol

didn't, proverbially speaking, make bricks without straw, at least they made out of the Nat barn with out hay Chay-that essential com- modity in a barn--but fire haz- ard at a barn dance).
 Coming back in an army truck to the USO, we remembered all this gratefully And prominent too in our memory was the excellence of the dancing of the winning couple in the jitterbug contest, Dessa Schneider (one of the most fas- cinating and likeable girls in the whole GSO) and Nick CaStiglione, of Chicago (nationally known con- tender for the worlds lightweight title, powerfully built, all-around athlete, possessor of the brilliant featherweight footwork of a great fighter and of every good dancer) i, colorful in their individual per- sonalities and vivid as a jitterbug- pair.
 From time to time, years from now, among our treasured USO remembrances we'll find ourself greatfully recalling last Saturday ght,-but not alone fer that party in Douglas. It was at 1.15 a. m. that we returned to the clubhouse. For the next two hours we saw our club fulfill it's destiny in a fashion nearer to perfection than ever before. The SOME THING that was there can't be described; if you were present, however, you surely felt what we mean. It was something that per- meated the warm, cheery atmos- phere of that lounge on that cold night.
 It was in the sentimental music of the jukebox, under the subdued lights. It rose, in some measure, from completely relaxed comfort ableness of the girls in their cos tunes and the men in their fa- tigues and dungarees; and it was comfortableness that appeared to be shared by literally every one of the 20 girls and the hundred and more men who were there most of the two hours, talking quietly or reading or dancing or, generally, holding hands and just watching
 To an extraordinary degree there seemed to exist a rare content ment in the heart of each young person there. And all seemed knit together in a comradeship that was, for that night at least, an exceed ingly binding thing.
 In service to it's men, both in the realms of fun, and in those areas where the human heart reaches tout for much more than fun, the Juneau USO achieved Gin our opinion a memorable success on Saturday night.
