M past week some
important events TO the best in
terest of our fast growing Iro-
ouois Lodge No. 90. | will tell you
about it farther down this column.
On June 9Th, tine Marching Club
had its first dance at our beautiful
Elks Rainbow dance Hall, 2420
Lake St Those boys under the
leadership of Brother Amos Thorn
as and his aids are really deter
mined to put over a worthwhile
program. They are fast winding
into shape for their competition
during our Mid-western associa-
ton which meets here at our hall
on July End to 9th. It's u duty
to get behind these boys and give
them our whole hearted support.
The weather was contrary on this
and it spoiled some of the fun,
but | am sure that all had a nice
time. On June 7th was election
night and to you that are listening
in the score is the same. Only
changes are Brother Carl Bone,
was elected lecturing knight,
Brother Robert Johnson was elect
ed esquire. Carl Bone replaced
Redrick Brown. Robert Johnson
replaced Nolan Anderson. The re-
naming personnel of the Iroquois
Lodge remains the same and of
course Charles F. Davis a re-
elected Exalted Ruler without
comment. Don't let the time slip
up - you. You know the conven-
ton is only 8 weeks away. Are
your applications in?
The Cherokee Ruler and her
Temple are extending to all women
: who can qualify to take advantage
. of this dispensation On June 9th
Mr.. VIM. Raab Exalted Ruler
Of our Brother White Elks Lodge
No. 39) extended to the Iroquois
Lodge No. 90 an invitation
Through their Exalted Ruler,
Charles F. Davis) to be their guest
at their Fig Day ceremonies
which were held at Hanscom Park
on Sunday afternoon. June 18th.
Our executive accepted the invita-
ton and got busy and the tele-
phones began to ring. Elks begin
to hoef and every conceivable way
to get word to the Herd was put
into execution. Naturally we were
pushed for time but by the APP
pointed time we had a well round
ed up Herd. The writer was unable
to be there being in line of duty
that day but they tell me that the
poqaois were well represented
and was very much appreciated by
their white brothers.
The Lodges met and formed
their line of March at 9th and
Leavenworth St., and marched to
Hanscom Park, where their activi-
ties were held. Everybody report
ed a very pleasant outing. On Sun
day just after tine parade initiation
was held at the hall at which time
nine members were added to the
Herd. The Marching Club and the
P. E R. C. really played a major
| part in the personnel of this grand
parade. Their sparkling uniforms
and their deportment stoed put
for no rebuff. But fer emily the
highest commentators. Our Exai-
ted Ruler was late on arriving. He
and n of his aids, BEother JoAa-
son. Bat our Exalted Rsler is tred
out. He has q large responsibility
and with the convention nearing
his work is tripled. We only hope
God will make him strong to carry
on. This wonderful work he is
doing is making history. We can
not reward him here but ever yon-
der, some where, where the flow
ers we bloom, whore the grass
is ever green and where the birds
ever singing, where the ended len
turtles are ever in the spring time,
of eternal life.
