Hope Chapter No. z, r. A. NJ, of
Georgetown, at its convocation Tues
day, Nov. 9TH will pay tribute to
those who as high priests have
guided that organization through the
years. This chapter has history
dating back to 1916, when it met at
Laurel, Del. A few years later it
}moved to Seaford, and still later to
its present location at Georgetown.
Its history is also a broken one and
= it was not until 1892 that the pres
ent organization came into being.
At that time Joseph l.. Cahall, of
Georgetown, was one of the group
who brought about the revival and
was later elected its first high priest,
being installed May 10th, 1893
Thomas B. Pepper also of George
town, who held the Office In 1908, is
the next oldest high priest still on
the rolls of the chapter. Martin G.
Phillips who is now high priest, ex-
poets this to be one of the most in
teresting get-togethers the chapter
has had; affording as 1t does an ex-
cellent opportunity for the younger
" workers to meet the older leaders.
1t is not expected that there will be
many speeches during tn evening, but
it should not be very hard to get
some of the past officers to remem-
ber a few of the happenings that
made their years of service inter-
esting.
