DE MOLAY OFFICERS WERE INSTALLED
Banquet Was Served in Sixty at the Masonic Hall
Preceding the Installation of Officers.
Although Judge Hubert Utterback of Des Moines was
unable to be present at the installation of the officers of Orion
Chapter, order of DeMolay, the guest went home with a pleasant
memory of an evening well spent.
The mothers of the members and wives of council
members had furnished a sumptuous supper which was served at 6:30 to
about sixty persons. Everything one could wish in the line of food
was there and plenty of it. No one was anxious to leave the tables,
however, as there seemed an overabundance of good cheer, and so,
many had to be warned that the eight o'clock program was about to
begin upstairs before they could leave the festive board.
Because of the absence of our Master Councilor,
Eugene D. Harvey, Brother Arthur Carpenter opened the Chapter in the
public ceremonial, consisting of opening the bible on the altar,
placing the school books and lighting the seven cardinal virtues
inculcated in the order, and presenting the Flag, singing America an
prayer by the Chaplain.
Miss Clara Hoyt then in her very pleasing way
entertained us with two vocal numbers followed by a groupf of two
readings by miss Besie Oelbert, which gave us the touch of levity so
essential to a well rounded program.
