VICTORY CLASS OF MASONS TO
 BE INITIATED

The Scottish Rite Bodies in the Valley of Juneau have announced their forthcoming Seventh Annual Reunion which will take place in Juneau April 7th to 11th. inclusive. According to the attractive program which is now being printed, the ses- sions of the different bodies will be held each afternoon and evening, during which time the degrees from the Fourth to the Thirty-Second wilt be given.
 As Juneau is at present the only place in Alaska where there are reg ularly organized Scottish Rite Bod ies, these annual Reunions are of special interest and usually bring to Juneau Masons of the higher degrees from all over the Territory.
 In honor of the part which Scot tish Rite Masonry, through it's mem bers, took in the war, the Class who will take the degrees this year has been designated the "Victory Class" and from present indications this class will be the largest in the his tory of these bodies.
 The Scottish Rite Bodies in Jul neau have enjoyed substantial and steady growth since their organiza- ton by Hon. Royal Arch Gunnison in 1911 and number several hundred members throughout the Territory They have acquired valuable build ing site opposite the Government Square, where they contemplate the erection of a- beau iful Temple.
