ADDRESS OF THE GENER AL GRAND MASTER

As we open ibis thirty-second Triennial Assembly of the General
Grand Cou:ncil of Royal and Sclec1 Masters Imcrna1ional, it is with a
great deal of pleasure that I welcome each and everyone present.
The officers of the General Grand Counci l, bolh elected and appointed,
have tried to arouse lhe interest of aU or the members of Cryptic Masonry
U1is past three years and we believe tl1at in working shou Ider to shoulder
and by having one of the General Grand Council officers or u Regional
Deputy General Grand Master present at all Grand Assemblies and
Regional Conferences, we have proved to all C ryptic Masons that the
General Grand Council has been and will continue to be a very worth-
while part of your Masonic life.
I am happy and grateful for the presence of our distinguished guests
and our own leaders in our cledicatecl work; their presence means much
to the success of this Assembly.
Al Las Vegas three years ago, a Long Range Program was presented
and adopted by this General Grand body which was a mandate to 1his
administration to take some action to improve the image of this General
Grand Cottncil. We have done our best to do just that; details of our
activities in this connection will be revealed later in I.his report.
I shall be forever grateful 10 our oCficcrs who have worked so will-
ingly without Cull compensation for expenses incurred. The General Grand
C'.ouncil has made progress in this triennium, and l am confidelll t11at
wit.h some further help from our Conscituctll Grand Councils, 1hc iacoming
administration will make even greater progress.

NECROLOGY
We are happy 10 report 1ha1 the Grand Master o( the Universe has
seen fit to leave our Elective and Appointive Grand Line Officers intact
 GENERAL GRAND CouNCIL 13

with lhe lone exception of Companion Edwin A. Palmer, Special Rep-

resentative Abroad of 1he General Grand Master, Spenard, Alaska, who
passed away during the lauer part of 1973.
We realize that MAN is born 10 die and the Wisest Knoweth not bow
soon; lhe Angel of Death has visited our ranks many times during this
trienni·um. We mourn our Companions' passing. They will be missed
by their Fraternal Brothel'l as well as their loved ones.
The Commiuee on Frnternal Dead will give a more complete report
la1er in our proceedings.

CENTENNIAL DEPOSIT

On August 18, 1975, l requested Most Illustrious Companion Stanley

Wakefield, P.G.M. of New York to examine the Centennial Chest of the
General Grand Council and conrirm tha1 it is still intact. The following
has been received.
To the General Grand Council. Scp1embcr 3, 1975
Royal and Select Maslel'l. International.
By directive of lhc Most Puissant Hoyt McClendon, General
Grand Master, the undersigned companions this day inspected the
centennial chest, property or 1he General Grand Council, that
was left in the custody of 1he Grand Lodge. Free and Accepted
Masons, of the Stale of New York.
We found the iron chest in n protected spo1, seals unbroken, and
contenis apparently undisturbed. It is kept in n storage room of
the Grand Lodge Building. 71 West 23rd Street. New York, New
York 10010. The room is either locked at all times or under the
scrutiny of the Grand Lodge employees working in that area.
Confidentially, it would take a thief the help of a pair of Alabama
mu lcs to budge the heavy chest.

INTERIM APPOINTMENTS
February I 4, 1974 - Appointed M.I. Companion Gottfried Ming, Alaska,
Special Representative Abroad of the General Grand
Master to replace the late Companion Edwin Palmer.

GEORGE WASHINGTON MASONlC NATIONAL MEMORIAL

One o[ the first serious problems this administration had to face was
the fact that the Cryptic Room in the George Washington Masonic National
Memorial IBuilding, which the General Grand Council has to maintain,
was absorbing moisture in the niches, causing deterioration which had
to be corrected. A study of this problem revealed tl1at it was necessary
to air condition this room to alleviate this condition. Air conditioning
was installed which seems to have accomplished the purpose as well as
making our part of the building more comfortable for our visitors.
The Cryptic Room Committee, of which Most Ulustrious Companion
Cyril H. York of Silve1· Spring, Maryland is Chairman, will have a more
complete report on this in his Committee Report.

AWARDS
l. During this Triennium, the General Grand Council has adopted
a Past Grand Masters Lapel Pin to be presented to each retiring Grand
Master, with a pocket size Life Membership Certificate which designates
him as a pennanent member of the General Grand Council.
We have tried, and in nearly all cases did have, a General Grand
Council Officer present at each Grand Council Annual Assembly to
present this pin and certificate on behalf of the General Grand Council.

a Meritorious Award in the form of a medallion 10 be presented by the

YORK RITE FESTIVALS

On Saturday, November 25, J972, the local York Rite Bodies and
Zamora Shrine Temple sponsored a York Rite Festival in my honor.
Sixteen Chapters, I I Councils, 11 Comntnnderies and one Shrine Temple
participated in this Festival which was held at the home temple of all my
Masonic York Rite Bodies (Woodlawn). Fifty-four of the candidates
for this large class were furnished by Woodlawn Commandery. •
It is my considered opinion that the future success o( our York Rile
bodies lies with properly handled l'estiv(lls, conferring the degrees and
orders in o ne day. Your lnternatlonnl York Rite Council spent much
ume and effort to suggest a condensed Ritual for this purpose; copies o(
this suggested Ritual may be secured lrom the Secretary or Recorder
of either of the General Grand Bodies or the Grand Recorder of the
Grand Encampment.

R EAFFILIATTON OF THE GRAND COUNCIL OF WISCONSIN

We are extremely happy to have had the Grand Council of the State
o( Wisconsin to re(lffiliate with the General Grand Council during this
administration. It is our reeling tbat we were able to show the Compan-
ions of Wisconsin that they needed us as much as we needed them.
Through our Regional Conferences, three in each Region, each year,
we feel the General Grand Council can and does bring to each Grand
Jurisdiction through communications, ownrds, suggestions ond in other
ways, far more ndvantages if they were only put to use, compensation
notwithstanding.

POSITION PAPER ON "THE WORD~

To the Officers and Members of the

General Grand Council of Royal and Selcc1 Masters International
Sept. 15, 1973
The following is n statement of the position of Dais Officers of the
General Grand Counci l of Royal and Select Masters International on
 GENERAL GRAND CouNCll. 17
'
"The Word" which was by resolution adopted by the Grand Encampment
Knights Tcmplar or the U.S.A. in Chicago on August 15, I 973, author-
izing it to be used as an optional Ritual for the conrcrring or the Capitular
nnd Cryptic Degrees and 1he Chivalric Orders m York Rite Festivals. The
complete resolution as adopted is as follows:
RESOLVED: Thn1 the chronological dramatiuuion of the ritual
known as The Word. copyrighted by the Grand Encampment or
Knights Tcmplnr of the United S1ates of America. be made
available as optional ri1ual for Degrees and the Orders of the
Capitular, Cryptic and Chivalric bodies identified as the York Rite
of Freemasonry for York Rite Festivals and/ or similar conferral
events for York Rite classes of candidates.
Oy copyrighting the ritual of "The Word" the Grand Encampment or
Knights Tcmplar is in effect assuming control or the rltunlistic ceremonies
of the Capitular and Cryptic bodies of the York Rite; iu this we reel that
the Grand Encampment has exceeded its authority in presuming to legis-
late the Ritual for the Chapter and Council.
The power and authority to adopt the Ritual for the conferring of the
several degrees of these Masonic bodies is vested solely in the several
Sovereign Grand Chapters and Grand Councils in the United Sta1es or
America and should remain so. Observation of "The Word" whicb wns
exemplified at 1he Grnnd 'Encampment at Chicago docs not in our estima-
tion depict the complete nnd true meaning of the Cryptic and Capitular
degrees, whereas the Chivalric Orders are portrayed in almost complete
detail.
Therefore in order that i1 may be understood by nil interested, it is di-
rected by the General Grand Master and the elected Dais O[(icers of the
General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters International that
the Cryp1ic Degrees mny be conferred in its subordinate Councils only
as prescribed by the official Ritual of the General Grand Council of
Royal and Selett Masters International.
We foci that the above is in the best interest of Cnpitular and Cryptic
Masonry.

' POSLTION ON CONFERRING THE SUPER EXCELLENT

MASTER DEGREE BEFORE NON-MEMBERS
June 26, 1974
To all Illustrious Masters,
Otricers and Members o[
Councils Subordinate 10
This General Grand Council
Companions: It bas come to the anention of your General Grand Master
that certain councils have used portions of the dramatic sections of the
Super Excellent Master Degree as rntertainment for non-members, in-
cluding ladies.
lt is our directive that under no circumstances may any of the Sub- j
ordinate Councils or this General Grand Council permit anyone to
witness any portion or any Cryptic Degree, except Masons or the degree
being conferred, or candidates duly elected to receive same.
The above directive is based on the belief that it is a long established
landmark of Freemasonry that the conduct of any phase of a Masonic
meeting, whether ii be the administration of the business o( the organi-
zation, or the conferring of the degrees under its jurisdiction, cnn only
be participated in or witnessed by anyone s.wc those legally authorized
to do so.
This directive is made in the best interest of Cryptic Masonry.

RECOMMENDATIONS
( 1) I recommend n Commincc be appointed to study nnd present to this

Grand Honors. Both Public and Private.

raised to the extent that it will compensate for the proposed program of
our incoming General Grand Officers.
( 3) I recommend lhe salaries of lhe General Grand Recorder and his
secretary be seriously considered by lhe Finance Committee and increased
to be comparable with the salaries paid for similar services elsewhere.
( 4) I recommend the General Grand Masters Travel Expense be in-
creased to not less lhan $ l 2,000.00.
(5) l recommend the travel expense for the Regional Deputies of the
General Grand Master be substantially increased clue to the greatly in-
creased cost of travel.
VISITATIONS
My visitations have been numerous, mostly in the interest or Cryptic
Masonry. I deeply appreciate the many invitations received. My wife
Margie and I have tried to accept and attend as many or these as were
possible. The many warm friendships formed arc cherished by both or
us, these of course would not have been possible except for your gracious
hospitality.
In my visits and those of my representatives, we have endeavored to
carry a message of good will and purpose from the General Grand Council.
We hope lhat our efforts will have made the task easier for our successor.
A list of these visitations is appended to this summation.

CONCLUSION
To my own Grand Council of Alabama - my sincere thanks for your
faith in me at Boston, Massachusetts in 1966.
To the members of the General Grand Counci l - You h ave allowed
me the privilege of serving as your Oeneml Grand Master for which I
am deeply grateful.
Without the contributions of several individuals the task would have
been much greater. It is appropriate at this time to acknowledge with
deep appreciation the never ending support of my wife Margie, who has
traveled with me at our personal expense and has been my secretary also
at no expense 10 this General Grand Council.
I am indeed thankful for the splendid cooperation of all of our General
Grand Council O[(icers, especially our Regional Deputy General Grand
Masters, who have proven their interest and ability by deeds and actions.
It .has been a privilege and a pleasure to have wo1·ked these past three
years with the General Grand Officers of the General Grand Chapter
Royal Arch Masons and the Grand Orricers o( the Grand Encampment
of Knights Templar. No belier cooperation could be wished for than
we have received and enjoyed with the officers of our contempornry
York Rite Bodies.
For the help and kindly advice of our General Grand Recorder, Bruce
H. Hu.nt, who has been ready and willing to answer every call and to his
ef(icient secretary, Mrs. Wanda Gardner for her gracious assistance, my
Thanks always.
May the richest of GOD's Blessings be with you now and always.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER

Mo.st Puissant General Grand Master and Companions of the General
Grand Council, Royal and Select Masters International:
It is my pleasure to submit herewith a bric{ report of my activities
for the 1972-1975 Tricnnium.
It was a privilege for me to make several visitations to the various
Grand Councils and to other National Organizations that held annual
meetings. It was an honor to be acknowledged as a General Grand
Council Officer and to be accorded the appropriate honors.
During the Triennium I visited Cilteen Grand J urisdictions. On all
occasions I was cordially received and given an opportunity to bring
greetings from the General Grand Council.
l a ttended seven Regional Conferences and the iute1·cst shown at
these Conference certain ly merits a continuation of this program. It is
my feeling that not only dais officers should attend these Regional Con·
ferences but that all Grand Council Officers and Past Most Ulustrious
Grand Masters should attend. l sincerely hope this program wW be
continued and each of the officers in the various Jurisdictions will make
a sincere and serious effort to attend and participate.
I ancnded six meetings o( the International York Rite Council. The
progress of this group does not appear too great. However, I think if
it is continued there will be many beneficial suggestions for York Rite
Masonry come Crom this source. There is definitely a more amiable
feeling at these Council meetings now than a few years ago.
Ir was my pleasure to attend two Sessions of the United Grand Im-
perial Council of the Red Cross of Constantine. On both occasions all
Masonic dignitaries were received and accorded honors due them.
lt has been my pleasure to attend practically all Masonic Meetings
on the State Lev.el in Indiana, and I was always recognized as a General
Grand Officer.
One of the greatest honors in serving this General Grand Council is
the friendships that arc made. Helen and I have particularly enjoyed
our relationship with our General Grand Master and Margie. Hoyt, in
spite of the handicap you have endured these past few years, you have
done a terri fic job; please accept my heartiest congratulations on a job
well done! You and Margie have set an example that will be very diffi·
cult to follow. We are looking forward to many more years of your
services~
 40 PROCEEDINGS Of THE
'
I wish to thank the General Grand Council (or permitting me to serve
as the Deputy General Grand Master. I sincerely hope that I have made
some contributions to the continued improvement of this great Cryptic
Rite of Masons.

REPORT OF THE
GENERAL G RAND PRlNCIPAL CONDUCTOR OF THE WORK

To the Most Puiss<mt Gcner<il Grand Master, Officers, and Members oj

the General Grtmd Council of Royal and Select Mt1sters lllterna1io11a/:

I submit herewith a brief summary of my activities during the 1972-

1975 Triennium.
Jt has been my pleasure to a ttend the following Grand Counci ls, some
more 1han once: Ulinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
M innesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Western Canada and Wisconsin. In 1975 M.1. Companion 0. Paul
Thomas represemed General Grand Council at the Grand Council of
Western Canada due to a coniliet in my schedule.
The joint annual meetings of some Grand Chapters, Grand Councils,
and Grand Commanderies enabled me to attend 13 Grand Chapters and
4 Grand Commanderies, some more than once.
I attended the Grand Lodge of Iowa each year, usually being intro-
duced as a General Grand Council officer.
1 attended all three of the North Central and one of the Southwestern
York R ite Conferences, and one T ri-State Council meeting (Iowa, Min-
nesota, and Wisconsin) .
National meetings attended were Grand Encampment, Red Cross of
Constantine, Allied Masonic Degrees, York Rite Sovereign College, and
lbe Grand Master-Grand Secretaries Conferences in Washington, D .C.
Tlte Companions and their ladies of Iowa tendered a marvelous
dinner and reception for R.P. Companion James P. Trish, General Grand
Royal Arch Captain, and myself in Ames on June 9, 1973, which was
attended by many of our friends. several from other states. This recog-
nition and the gifts were greatly appreciated. Not listed are meetings and
receptions on a' local level within Iowa. The Grand C hapter and Grand
Council officers of Iowa have been very understanding with my absences
from the state.
In October. 1974, we had the honor and pleasure of entertaining the
General Grand Master and his lady in our home for a week. During this
time we visited the office of the General Grand Recorder. in Kirksville,
Missouri, and were royally received by him and his staff.
Jacqueline and I arc most appreciative o( the many courtesies ex-
tended to us wherever we have traveled. It has been a most rewarding

REPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER

FOR SOUTHEAST REGION
Ta the General Gnmd Co1111cil of Royal a11d Select Masters / 111ematio11al:
I hereby submit my report as Regional Deputy Grand Master for
1he Sou1heastern Region for U1e 1972-1975 Triennium.
The Southeastern Region is composed of seven states: Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten-
nessee. During the past triennium it bas been my privilege to auend
the Annual Assemblies of each of these seven Grand Councils in 1974
and in 197:5, as well as the Joint Regional Conferences in 1973 and 1975.
I was prevented by illness from attending the conference held in Columbia,
$ouU1 Carolina, in January 1974, but my duties on that occasion were
 GBNERAL G RANO CoUNCIL 47

performed very capably by Past llluslrious Grand Master Ralph R. Tonkin

of Tennessee. I also attended the three Waynesville Summer Assemblies,
a number of York Rile Festivals, and several other special meetings. At
all of these 1 was accorded every courtesy and made to feel most welcome.
All Grand Assemblies were conducted with U1e proper amount of
digni ty and decorum. Grand Officers were appropriately attired, 1..-new
their Oines, and transacted their business in a commendable manner. The
conferral of the Order of High Priesthood and the Order of the Silver
Trowel io Georgia were especially impressive.
The Joint York Rite Conferences were informative and beneficial.
The presence o[ General Grand Master McCicndon and Deputy General
Grand Master Shanteau at all U1ree conferences was greatly appreciated.
Each made important contribution~ to the discussions. Attendance was gen-
erally good and participation was lively. Over 100 companions aucndcd
the last conference held in Nashville in January 1975. At this conference,
thanks to Dr. Walter H. Winchester, General Grand Principal Sojourner
of the General Grand Chapter, we were privi leged to see the new General
Grand Chapter mm, Saga of tire Royal Arc/1. We were also fortunate
in hearing an inspirational address by Dr. J. Castro Smith, U10 then Grund
Master of Miisons in Tennessee. T he success of this conference was
due i11 large measure to the planning of Companion John R. Stracener,
Grand Secretary-Recorder of Tennessee. who handled the local arrange-
ments in a most efficient manner.
TJ1csc Joint York Rite Conferences are filling a real need in York
Rite Masonry, and can become even more beneficial if more dais officers
will attend. Greater emphasis in the conferences might be placed on
leadership development. Companion J. D. Penley, Past lllustrious Grand
Master of South Carolio<t, is to be commended for developing a program
of leadership training during his term of office. Other jurisd ictions might
do well to consider such a program.
Perhaps the condition of Cryptic Masonry in tbe Southeastern Region
is best re(icctcd in statistics of membership. In 1972 all of lhe seven Grand
Councils except one had gains, and the total for tl1e region was 1322.
Tn 1973 all except two showed gains, and their losses were small. The
total for the region was 957. ln 1974 all seven Grand Councils had net
gains. and the regional total was 1962. The combined total gain for the
tricno ium was 4241. T his record is d ue largely to the capable and
dynamic leadership of lhe Grand Officers, and to the enthusiastic support
o( the companions in the local counci ls. The Grand Counci l of South
Carolina led all the others with gains 498 in 1972. 657 in 1973, and 63 l

in 1974, for a net gain during the tricnoium of 1786. Appropriate awards
were presented to this Grand Council in appreciaiion of their efforts.
So [ar as f can determine, ritualistic performance in the SoutJ1eastern
Region is genemlly good. All seven jurisdictions arc holdi ng York Rite
Festivals, and the Super Excellent Master Degree is usually a highlight
of these festivals. l feel that we ca11not place loo much emphasis on
this particular degree. An outs1anding, dramatic conferral of 1he Super
Excellent Master Degree can be one of our strnngest selling points in
presenting Cryptic Masonry. J suggest that all Grand Councils and the
larger subordinate councils give serious thought to having a theatrical
conferral of this degree at least once each year.
In concluding this report. I wish to thank our General Grand Master
for this appointment. Serving in this office has aCforded me tbe oppor-
tunity of me.eting and working with some of the finest companions to be
found anywhere. Without exception, the Grand Masters, Grand Record-
ers, and other Grand Officers have been most cooperative and helpful. Lnow
count each one a very dear friend, and I shall miss seeing them next year.
l feel confident that the Southeastern Region will continue to go forward
in York Rite Masonry, making even greater strides than in the past. And
t hope and trust that all grand jurisdictions in this General Grand Council
will soon be showing similar gains.

R EPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER

FOR NORTH CENTRAL REGION
To rite Ge11e1·lll Grand Corrnci/
Royal tutd Select Mllsters, lmenwtioual:
One of t he great pleasures of life is the opportunity to make new
friends, renew acquaimances and enjoy the tremendous fellowship afford-
ed by these contacts. especially when this relates to the great Masonic
Fraternity.
The Gra nd Councils of the North Central region are composed of
Cryptic Masons who exude this fellowship and warmth, and were there
no other compensations, just the opponunity to be with them in their
<ionual sessions justifies. at least to me personally, any effort put forth
 GBNBRAt. G RANO COUNClt. 49

in beh alf of rbc General Grand Council JnrernationaJ, in irs vrsnation

program. In all cases l found the Companions cooperative, anxious 10
be better informed abour General Grand Council, and deeply appreciative
of the recognition of General Grand Council by the a1tendance of one
or more General Grand Officers.
During the Tricnnium I was fonunare 10 allend 17 Grand Council
sessions io North Central Region, which comprises lllinois, North Dakota,
South Dakora, Minnesora, Iowa, Nebraska, Western Canada and now
happily Wisconsin. Wirh regard to Wisconsin, which jusr recently joined
General Grand Council, J am looking fo rward 10 visitations in the near
future .
At each of rhese visirations I was accorded every courtesy, received
as rhe Regional Depury General Grand Master. In response l was
privileged lo bring greetings of the General Grand Master, and to explain
tbe functions of General Grand Counci l and in particular how ii relates
to rhe Grand Councils. An additional pleasure was the presentation of
the distincti ve lapel pin of a Past Grand Master, together with the card
signifying membership in the General Grand Council.
It .is worthy to note rhat our Grand Councils, while experiencing the
trials and tests encountered by all Masonic Bodies, are nev~rtheless
cnthusiasric about their endeavors. taking their responsibilities seriously
aod determined over the long haul to make progress. Each arc dcdicared
to the General Grand Council. An example was the voluntary action
of the Grand Council of M innesora at their last annual Assembly in
increl\"Sing their per capita to the General Grand Council by four cents
per member. [t is hoped that other Grand Councils will take similar
action thus enabling General Grand Council to provide a · much more
expanded program of education and help to the Constituent G rand
Councils.
Dming these visirations we encountered blizzards, thunderstorms.
extreme heat and other drawbacks, but in all the enthusiasm with which
we were received was compensation enough fo r any effort put fo rth.
D:uring the Triennium we were privileged to help in arranging and
conducring three Regional conferences. one of which we hosted in Omaha
under the direction of the General Grand Council. These meetings
were ·extremely well anended and are growing each year, due we like to
believe because of the educational progran1s presented. In this connection
we arc pleased to advise that our counterpart in the General Grand
Chapter and the Grand Encampment have worked closely with the
General Grand Council. Right Excellent James Trish, General Grand
 50 PROCEEDINGS 01' THE
'
Chapter, the late Arthur Peterson of the Grand Encampment and bis
successor Cliarlcs Howard, have been extremely cooperative, and it has
been a joy and privilege to work with them in this Trienninm.
There is no question, in spite of our disappointments, that Masonry in
the North Coemral Region, is in capable hands, and the future is bright and
united we will cominue to make progress.
I am indebted to the Most Jllus1rious General Grand Master for the
appointment and assure him and all Cryptic Masons it has been a priv-
ilege to serve in the capacity of Regional Deputy General Grand Master.

REPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER

FOR NORTHEAST REGfON
To the Mos-t Puissant General Grm1d Master, 01/icers, and Companions
of tl1e Geneml Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters, Jntematio11a/:
The Northeastern Region or the Genera l Grand Council is composed
of the Grand Councils of Royal and Select Masters in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusens, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary-
land and the District of Columbia. This t'cgion is a tl'easure house or
bistot'y; a land of scenic beauty; and the home oC many tried and true
Masonic Brothers. Here, the sun's first beams, that shine on the United
States of America, gild the ruggedly beautiful coastline. Here, you are
half way to 1he North Pole becm1se the 45th parallel of latitude ( half way
L-etwecn the Equator and the North Pole) runs through this Northeastern
Section. It is a crowded and congested area. It is a place where superb
Companionship abounds in our Fraternity.
It has been my privilege Lo represent tl1e General Grand Council in
this Region and enjoy the camaraderie of tl1ese zealous Companions.
At the direction o[ the Most Puissant General Grand Master, and on
being invited, I have visited each Grand Council in the Northeastern
Region. In each Grand J urisdiction, without exception, every courtesy
and conside1·ation was extended to me as a represen tative or the General
Grand Council.
Rl!GIONAI. CONFERENCES
Though not participated in by the Councils because of the brief time
after the 3 J st Triennial Assembly in Las Vegas. T attended the Grand
 GENERAi. GRAND CouNCll. 51

Encampment's Conference in Towson, Maryland on October 13-14, 1972,

which was chaired by Sir Knight Ward L. Ekas.
On October 12-13, 1973, tbe Nonhcastern Regional York Rite
Coofctence was held in Washington, D.C. This wos a joint effort of the
Chapter, Commandcry. and Council. The Conference was well attended
and very e([cctive. Companion Edward R. Saunders of the General Grand
Chapter was the General Chairman.
Portland. Maine, was the host city of the Northeastern Regional York
Rite Conference on October I l -12, 1974. In spite or my being the Gen-
eral Chairman, this was the hugest and most succcss[ul Conrerencc or
this Region during this triennial.
Much credit must be given my counterparts who made the Confer-
ence Lhe success we enjoyed. Companion Edward R. Saunders of the
General Grand Chapter and Sir Knight Louis A. Benudoin of the Grand
Encampment proved themselves as Masonic Leaders.
Too much cannot be said in commending the Companions in Mary-
land, the District or Columbia, and Maine who not only acted as our
hosts for the above mentioned Conferences, but also worked tirelessly
to make our stay in their Jurisdiction a pleasant one.
Time does not permit a detailed report on the Conrerences. Suffice
it to say the Conrcrences furnish inspiration, direction, information, and
enco\Jr agemem to all who attend. The collective reasoning and logic
of the assembled Companions engender strength and give meaning to our
efforts. The Conrerencc should continue 10 be euhlvnted ;u1d used to its IuU
capability.
The CRYPTIC MASON OF THE YEAR MEDAL is a magnificent
gesture of appreciation. Every recipient, who has received the Medal
from me io the name or the General Grand Council, has been deeply
moved by being so honored. Our General Grand Master, Hoyt McClendon,
is to be eongratulnted for instituting this program of appreciation.
'
At each Grand Assembly that I have orficinlly ;mended (except
Massachusetts where the Mos t Illustrious Grand Master serves three years)
on behalf of, and in the name of tbe General Grnnd Master and the General
Grand Counc.il, I have presented a GRAND MASTER'S CERTIFICATE
and a General Grand Council LAPEL BUTTON to the retiring Most
Ulustrious Grand Master. This is always a pleasant duty.
My stewardship in this oCfice has been made ~asier because or our
General Grand Recorder. He has been present nnd assisted at the con-
ferences. He and his ortice staff have handled nil things for me with
 52 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
'
dispatch and accuracy. To help me he has, many times. gone beyond lbe
requirements of 1he Office of General Grand Recorder. Thanks, Bruce.
Most Puissant Companion McClendon, I thank you for having lei
me be on your team during this 1riennium. Your presence a1 the con-
ferences, and at the Grand Assemblies always proved 10 be a memorable
occasion. It has been my particular delight to bring to the Companions
of the Nonheast Region of this General Grnnd Council the warm and
rratcrnnl greetings from you, our Most l'uissam General Grand Master
whom we consider to be a true Southern Genalcmun.

COM I' ANIONS:

It is my privilege and pleasure during the Tricnnium to visit all of

the Grnnd Bodies and in some cases each year. At each meeting l was
received with all due respect and courtesy due the office. At each of
the Grnnd Councils ,I visited it was my pleasure to bring greetings of The
Most Puissant, lloyt McClendon and the Gcncrnl Grund Council.
The Sou1hwes1 Regional conference was held the first year a1 Sall
Lake City with Companion and Sir Knight, John R. Mendius, presiding.
The following year The General Grand Conference was held in Phoenix,
Arizona, with the Most Excellent Companion Earl Spitler, presiding.
Last year it was my privilege and pleasure 10 preside over the Conference
which was he Id here in Albuquerque. In each case these Conferences were
well aucndcd, with the presiding officers or each or the bodies present
in most cases. Al this Conference we were favored by the presence o[
Mr. and Mrs. John Harris Waus.
All of our Conferences were held in an informal fashion although I
always had an agenda which we tried to follow nnd J made every effort
to sec 1hn1 cnch Companion entered into our discussion.
In October of l 973 it was my special privilege 10 witness a one day
York Rite Festival con[erred by 1he Companions and Sir Knights in
Arizona. This was not a shortened version but each degree and order
conferred in full rom1. The meetings were called 10 order at 8 A.M. and
finished up in the Order or The Temple by 9 P.M. Lunch nnd dinner
was served in 1he dining room besides 1wo corrcc breaks, one in the
morning nnd one in the afternoon.
All of 1hc Grand ·Councils in the South.,., est arc showing a marked
improvement in their work and with just a lillle more effort we should have
shown a nice gain for this past year, but with one or 1wo Councils dragging
their feel we d "dn"t quite make it. l have every reason to believe that with
1bc momentum gained during the past year or two the Southwestern
Region will derinitely show a gain in membership.
No doubt .l hnvc not reported all or the events that look place during
the Grand Sessions but l did make a detailed report 10 our Most Puissant
Orantl Master, Hoyt McClendon after I had attended each Session.

The Commiitee on Publicity was given three assignments at the 1972
Triennial in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, only one of the three bas been
accomplished - the selection of ao editor for a Quarterly Bulletin or

In October J972, agreement was reached with the Dais Officers of
the General Grand Chapter that the General Grand Cow1cil would join
in publishing ADVANCE each quarter. Tbe January 1973 issue was our
first effort and this publication has continued quarterly. We feel this has
been a worthwhile project, but realize there is always room for improve-
ment
 56 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

' One o( the hardest tasks has been convincing others to make contri-
butions to this paper's content. We have begged and pleaded for articles
o( interest to be used but il seems that in most areas no one is interested
in promoting Cryptic Masonry. There are a few good Companions who
bnve provided articles aud pictures, nnd to these we publicly say thanks.
But most of what has appca1·ccl has been dug out from various sources
by the editor. 1f what has been printed has been of interest and worth-
while - fine. But i! it has not been so to you - then get off your duff
and let us know what you would like 10 see and read in ADVANCE!
The Deputy General Grand Master has prepared nnd has ready for
presentation a pamphlet titled "For the Good of the Order." It is well
written nnd this commiucc wishes to commend Companion Shanteau
on this work. We feel this is another step towards aCfording guidelines to
those interested in promoting Cryptic Masonry. The pnmphlet partially •
fulCills one of the two assignments this commiuce was unable to accom-
plish during chis Trieonium - preparation of brochures, visual aids, pro-

have attempted to upgrade the General Grand Council the way it appears
to the general public; to take its rightful place with the General Grand
Chapter and the Grand Encampment. Unfortunately, l felt that yester-
day a(teroon the General Grand Council joined with Lhc General Grand

determined number of years when as the Oags not only or the United
Stutes or America, but or the other countries that pledged their allegiance
to these organizations were presented, we remained seated. To me this
was a public disgrace to each and every one of us who were present. It

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AIMS AND PURPOSES

To the Most Puissa111 General Gra11d Master, Officers a11d Compa11io11s
of tire General Gra11d Cou11ci/ of Royal and Select Masters lnternatioll(1/:
This is a Special Committee of the General Grand Council and since
it was first appointed in 1954 when it was stated that the function of the
Committee was to find out what, if anything, the General Grand Counc.il
could do toward promoting interest in the various Jurisdictions.
Since the inception of the Committee the reports have been many
and varied. Suggestions and recommendations have been made-, some
of which have been carried out but most of them have not, probably for
lack of money to put this into effect. Then~ have been a number of
ideas advanced that could have been very effective but were not carried
out by the General Grand Oificcrs. Probably the lack of communication
has been the weakest link in our Aims, which, however, bas now begun
to take effect in the publication insert in the Advance issued by the
General Grand Chapter. Maybe at some future date the General Grand
Council will be able to publish a newsletter of its own to go to every
member of our Rite. The 1972 report of ibis Committee reported that
the purpose of the General Grand Council was the welding togct11er of
the many Grand Councils then in cxistancc but this Aim has fallen far
short as there arc a number of Grand Councils with a large membership
who are not now affiliated with the General Grand Council. It is be-
lieved that the primary action of the General Grand Council should be
to make every e((ort to bring these non-affiliated Grand Councils into
our membership so we would have a larger and more unified body of
Cryptic Masons. It bas been suggested that the inculcation of the moral
principles of Our Order and due attention to the ancient landmarks should
at all times be uppermost in our thoughts and actions.
ln a number of Jurisdictions, particu larly in the Southern States, mem-
bership in the Council as a pre-requisite to membership in a Commandery
has been very beneficial, both to enlarging membership in both Bodies
as well as promoting York Rite membership.
lt is felt that tl1e General Grand Council should use every opportunity
to promote this pre-requisite.
We wish to make the following recommendations for action by the
Gene.m l Grand Council to become effective as soon as possible.
 58 PROCEEDINGS OP THE
'
To protect and preserve the Council Degrees.
To upgrade and improve Cryptic Masonry.
To ultimately have all Cryptic Masons throughout the world affil·
iated with the General Grand Council.
To further the welfare of York Rite Masonry in general and Cryptic
Masonry in particular. Encourage cooperation in all Masonry.
To dispense Masonic Light to all Cryptic Masons via communications
in form of ncwslcucrs, bulletins, and a Cryptic Rite magazine.
To secure and make available Educational materials on Cryptic
Masonry to all affiliated Grand Councils.
To encourage the use of the General Grand Recorder's office and
cstablisb it more firmly as a nerve center for Cryptic Masonry.
To encourage the fonnation of leadership Seminars in each Juris-
diction.
To establish a sound Membership Development Program.
To establish an Educational Program and encourage all Cryptic Masons
to participate.
To esta.blish a Cryptic Mason library and museum.
To encourage each jurisdiction to establish a Philanthropic Project.
To establish a Public Relations progrnm and encourage each juris-
diction to participate.
To assign definite duties to all Officers and Committees. Define
these d!uties and have them printed and dispensed to all j urisdictions,
thereby, having a uniformity of duties in all jurisdictions.
To encourage each jurisdiction to establish a Cryptic Rile Marker
for tile public to sec and to become aware of Cryptic Masonry.
To present lapel pins and certificates to all members of the General
Grand Council ..
To insfat that all jurisdictions select a Cryptic Mason of the Ycar
and award him with the General Grand Council medal.
To award certificates to those jurisdictions who bavc the largest gain
in membership.
We believe that if a majority of the above recommendations cannot
promptly be put into eCfect we should consider the Consolidation of the
Chapters and Councils imo one Body so as to put the Degrees in the proper
chronological order as in the case of Virginia and West Virginia. We

RECEIVED

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATE OF THE RITE

AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE
To the <
G eneral Grand Council:
The state of the Cryptic Rite, except for a few items peculiar to
Cryptic Masonry, is closely connected, allied and interwoven with Masonry
in general and more closely with Symbolic, Capitular, and Chivalric
Masonry. And Masonry in general, with some problems, is alive and
still exerting its influence.
There are a few indications that our Cryptic Rite is advancing from
a step-child to full parrncrship in the York Rite system. These indicators
are reported in more detail in General Grand Council Officers' Reports,
so we merely mention them here: our increase in membership, several
jurisdictions approval of the council as prerequisite to the COmmandcry,
the importance of the Cryptic Degrees in Festivals and Field Days, and
increased attendance at the Regional COnferences. We are also pleased
to report that most jurisdictions now have a York Rite COordination or
Cooperarion Committee-and these committees are beginning to function.
The new air-conditioning and the replacement of the sound system
in the Cryptic Room of the George Washington National Masonic Mem-
orial has contributed much to the image of Cryptic Masonry among vis-
itors to the Memorial.
We wekom<; the Grand Council of Wisconsin back into our member-
s~ip. Their numbers assist measurably in the General Grand Council
showing a gain d'..lring this Triennium.
T he state of our Rite is healthy, needing perhaps better leadership
and lea dership training and a more definite goal to increase activity in
our particular Masonic area.
M l!MDl!RSHTP ANDFINANCR:
Advancement is 100 often measured by gain or loss of members.
Probably because these are concrete items we can relate to more simply
 60 PROCEEDINGS OF THI!
'
than we can see our good deeds reflected in fraternal activities. However,
we refer yo·u to the General Grand Recorder's Report for these member-
ship statis1ics. We do however, commend the Southeastern Region or
seven Grand Councils, all of which arc reporting gains in membership.
It is un usual to consider membership and finance.s together, but we
have a poimt to make: if we gain in membership, then we gain in dues,
in fees, and in per capita tax, and from the local to the national level
we arc financially better orr. Unfortunately, without adequate membership
gains, and with the effect of inflation, we have noted that 70 to 80% of
the Grand Councils have had to increase their per capita tax, some up to
$2.00 or $2.50, in order to remain solvent. Many Grand Councils have
also approved an increase in fees and dues for their constituent counclls.
We believe the fee increase is good for the Rite because Cryptic Masonry
has long been too cheap. We hope that the increase will help to improve
the image of the Council among our members and our prospective members.
We have also noted that many Grand Councils arc now limiting the
number of invited guests at Grand Assemblies, and the financial respon-
sibility [or these guests. We approve of this concept due to the high cost
of hotel expenses. These Grand Councils do not discournge visitors,
they are merely taking no financial responsibility for them.

COOPERATION:

Many signs o[ York Rite cooperation are being observed. Attendance

at the Regional Conference is increasing and we receive reports that the
General Grand Council sections show these increases and much more
interest in each Conference. We suggest that reports be issued through
the Cryptic Section of the A DVANCE to publicize what is going on in
each Region, being quite sure tl1e Editor of the ADVANCE would wel-
come a report. The media o( the ADVANCE has given the General
Grand Council a means of communication with its members in coopera-
tion with the General Grand Chapter. We congratulate John Stracener
for his contribution Ifs editor of the Cryptic Section of the ADVANCE.
The Cryptic Degrees are now a pan of most Festivals of the York R ite
and the festival concept is spreading through more jurisdictions. We have
noticed that the S E M Degree is not conferred as often as it should be at
Festivals, perhaps due to lack of time or lack of a good degree team for
conferral.
Combined business meetings, by whatever ritual format each juris-
diction approves, have been tried in several jurisdictions a.nd with varied
success. Some find these meetings helpfu l, others have discontinued their
 GENERAL GRANO CouNClL 61

use. So we can only report thal whal one jurisdiction finds useful, another
may find a hinderancc.

AWARDS:

While newly initiated, the General Grand Counci l Meritorious Medal

has been presented in some Grand Councils in 1975. T he availability
of this Award is another mark of service of the General Grand Council
to member Grand Counci ls.
We also know that the official P G M's Lapel Pin, presented by the
General Grand Council has been appreciated, as we see more and more
of them being worn by Past Grand Masters.
We have received so many reports on Grand Councils adopting
awards that it is not practical to list them. More than half of the Grand
Councils now have awards to constituent councils for activity or to com-
panions (or service to Cryptic Masonry. Several Grand Councils confer
the degree or honor of Ish Sodi on deserving companions, with a medal
and/ or certificate. Other awards arc named after PGMs or just for the
Grand Council, and the number per year to be awarded is usually limited,
making it more of an honor to be selected to receive such an award.

RITUAL :

The Genera·1 Grand Master has reported on actions of the General

Grand Council concerning the manner of conferral of tbe SEM Degree,
and the recommendation on the drama The Word. We can report that
several Grand Councils have endorsed the General Grand Council recom-
mendation on these two items of ritual, usually by pointing out that their
adopted ritual is the only one approved in their jurisdiction.
This Committee desires to point out, however, that C ryptic Masonry is
missing out on the best attraction of ritual in all of Masonry. T he Super
Excellent Master Degree can and should be staged as the highlight of
Cryptic Masonry, conferred on a special occasion as a special attraction
of tl1c Rite. Tl1e Word has the same j)ossibilities as a play or drama for
York R ite education and activity, but not as a substitute for any degree.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE:

Nothing of Foreign Correspondence has been referred to this com-

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CRYPTIC ROOM

To tile Most Pui.<.tant General G1·and Master, Officers and Companions
of the General Grand Council of Roya/ <111d Select Masters, lntemationa/:
Your Cryptic Room Committee is happy to report the progress mnde
during the last Tricnnium period.
The room has been satisractorily air-conditioned. In so doing we have
received an. additional benefit, in that the small room housing the sound
equipment is also air-conditioned. I am informed by the sound engineers
that this is very help[ul in keeping the intricate sound mechanism in good
working order. Tt was previously subjected to extreme heat and humidity.
The installation of air-conditioning has made the room very com-
fortable. Remarks have been made tha1 it is the best room in the Temple.
With the exception of remaking the sound tape to modernize it, I
can say "Nothing now remains to be done, all is finished."
I recommend, however that an appropriate amount be budgeted for
regular upkeep, in case of breakdown to either sound equipment or the
air-conditioning installation.
It has boeen a pleasure to serve as Chairman for the past several years,
and to have such excellent cooperation from the members of the Commit-
tee, the staCf of the George Washington Nmional Masonic Memorial, our
General Grand omcers, particularly General Grand Recorder Bruce H.
Hunt.
May we ever be able to keep our Cryptic Room a showpiece to the
public and 10 us truly, "A Beautiful piece of Work."
Zealously submitted,
CYRIL H. YORK, Chaimum
 GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 63
RE PORT OF THE COMM LTTEE ON FRATERNAL DEAD

2'o the General Grand Council of Royal mid Select Masters, lntema1io1wl:

We pause in the deliberations of this Thirty-second Triennial, to pay

our respects to those of our beloved Companions who have laid down
their working tools and have been called to the great beyond by the Great
Architect of the Universe and the Supreme Grand Master since we met
three years ago. Our rnystic triangle has been broken again, aod these
beloved Companions have passed through the ninth arch into the eternal
secret vault.
We offer our sympathy and prayers to the loved ones and friends of
these our departed Companions, and we know that God's watchful eye
i~ upo.n them.

ln this hour of memory we read from the scriptures for solace. The
prophet Isaiah stated: "Fear not: for 1 have redeemed thee, I have called
U1ee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passeth through the waters,
I' will be with thee : and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when 1hou walkest through the fire. thou shalt not be burned, neither shall
the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the. Lord 1hy Ood, the Holy One
of Israel, thy Savior." (Isaiah 43:1 -3)
To the Mason, death is no stranger, for we are taught that we are but
a house of clay, and we arc building a house which is Eternal and Ever-
lasting. We are taught to build our foundations well, and to use our
working tools of Life well. We arc to walk uprightly in our several sta1ions
of life before God and man, squaring our actions by the square of virtue,
and ever remembering that we are traveling upou the level of time to
"That undiscovered country from whose b-Ourn no 1<aveler returns."
The Mason is a man of faith - faith in what he himself is, faith in
what we should do, faith in those who lead him forward to the Light and
who walks with him in guidance, faith in the handclasp of a brother and
in the companionship in daily living, faith in what he is building and
to wbich be gives himself.
The early· church theologian and writer, Paul, once wrote : " But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
bea.r t of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Bui Ood bath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit scarcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God." (I Corinlhians 2:9-10)
We thank God for a faith that carries us through the eternities where
our abode is to be forever with H im.
 64 PROCEEDINGS OP THI!
'
We cherish the loving memories of our departed Companions and
commit them into the watchful care or God and into His loving hands.
The Cryptic work of Masonry moves on;
Our task will be entrusted to another.
He'll labor in our place when we arc gone:
We'll pass our tools, for wielding, to a brother.
All this fulrills the Master's fair design.
The Crypt must hold the labors or each hand,
Yct as ye smooth each arch. direct each line,
We know that lhrough the hour-glass flows lhe sand.
We bid farewell as friends move through the door,
Our hands would speed our work, but hours fly rnst.
Then comes our call 10 step tbe threshold o'er.
And hear his Gracious words "Well Done'' at Inst.

REPORT OF THE COMMl'ITEE ON
YORK RITE COORDINATlON
To 1/te Most Puissant Ge11eral Gra11d Master,
Officers and Compa11io11s of the
Gc11erol Gr(md Council, R . &S.M., /111ernt1tional:
Your Committee on York Rite Coordination of 1hc General Grand
Council of Royal Select Mas1ers International makes the following report
and recommendations.
At the Triennial Assembly in 1969 the Committee on York Rite
Unity made a very detailed report on the "action" or " no action" of the
43 Grand J urisdictions in regards to organizational unity of the 1hree
York Rite bodies with only 6 in favor of sucb action. Since that time no
attempt has been made to organize the York Rite bodies under one com-
mon head. But what has developed out of those efforts is a much closer
relation and cooperation between the three bodies in most jurisdictions,
not only on a local basis but on a Grand Jurisdictional basis as well.
We find that a few more Grand Jurisdictions are now holding their
annual meeting; jointly and although the progress toward this is slow,
it does seem to indicate a trend towards a closer relationship between the
three Grand York Rite bodies. We also find that many local Chapters,
Councils, and Commanderies are holding their business meetings jointly
with much success and wi th linlc or no objections.
StMewide and Arca York Rite festivals in some jurisdictions have been
a tremendous success, while in others they have not gone over too well.
Some jurisdictions object to the festival idea because they contend it takes
away the incentive of the local bodies to confer the degree work. Jn
76 PROCBBDINGS 01' THE

other areas they have overcome this objection and it has actually encour-
aged the lesser active local bodies to improve 1hemsclves by organi1.ing
degree teams to confer the work. Where the local body wns incapable or
confcring the degrees, the festivals afforded a means by which their can-
didates could receive lhem.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Your committee reels that much has been accomplished by the Sec-
tional meetings of the General Grand Chapter, General Grand Council
and Grand Encampment and these meetings be continued.
2. That Cryptic Masons, wherever assembled strive to show more Crat-
ernal love and f:riendship to all other Masons regardless of what R ite
or Body he might belong. After all, we arc Blue Lodge Masons Cirst
and tha t gives us the right to receive and the duly to give Respect,
Brotherly Love and Coopcrmlon to and from each other.
3. The accomplishments and effectiveness of this committee has been
very limited due to each member having to assume the expense in-
curred in the performance of his respective duty, we, therefore recom-
mend that an appropriation be made for mileage and per diem for one
member of the committee to attend each Sectional York Rite Conference,
preferably the member residing closest to where the Conference is being
held. This would allow the Committee to assemble information and
learn more of the problems facing each section of the country.

REPORT OF GENERAL GRAND MASTER'S

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR GERMANY
Most Puissanr Genernl Grand Ma.rter, Officers of rlre Geneflll Grand
Cotmc;/, Most ll/11strio11s Grand Masters, Past tmd Presem, ll/ustrious
Masrel's Pas1 and Present, Disti11guislt~d Guests, and Members of tile
Cryptic Rile:
A most special thank you to the Organizing Committee of the Grand
Chapter and Grand Council of Ohio and the Constituent Chapters and
Councils for hosting the General Grand Convocation and Assembly.
Everytl1ing is perfectly fine for me - 1he accommodations, food, enter-
tainment, and facilities couldn't be nicer and I even noticed that the Mayor
of Cleveland had all of the slot machines removed before we arrived this
year. Also, being born and bred three miles ·west of Fenway Park in
Boston, I'm naturally sorry to !ind the Indians in 4th place. May fortune
descend upon you in future years. Amen!
It's really 8' marvelous session • one gets the opportunity to see and
talk with most of the Companions that he has corresponded with during
the Trieonium. l am also pleased to see that some of you
have visited our distant borders in West Germany since Las Vegas in 1972.
Frankly, Companions, I wisb more of you might consider doing the same
thing. However, I understand that some passed through and did not
let us know in the Grand Chapter and Council that they were coming
and this we feel very badly about. Probably not more than five Grand
Officers of the Grand Chapter and Council of Germany have ever attended
one or these sessions and when I speak to them about certain Companions
78 PROCP.EDINGS OF TH£

I've met here, they really can't visualize who or what I'm talking about.
Therefore, if any of you should plan a journey to West Germany in the
future, please contact our Grand Secretary and Recorder, who is 1he
same Companion, by mai l and lei him know that you're
coming. During the past three years, Marvin B. Fowler, Past Grand
Everything, brought several P ast Grand Masters, a few Scottish Rite
notables, Past Grand Y otk R ite Officers, Past Potentaies and Shriners,
and we arranged for them to attend Lodge in Heidelberg; PMIGM Cyril H-
York or Maryland; PGHP Charles McGinness of Kansas; PM!GM Al
Bruder of New York; The Gellcral Grand High Priest, Edward Martin
Selby, and his wife, Olive; The Deputy Grand High Priest [Or Interna-
tional Masonic Affairs, Roge1· K. Becker, and his wife, June, from In-
diana; and my favori1c Grand Recorder, R. l. Com panion George R.
Fitez and his wife Frances, of Ohio, and a few others in groups such as
the Grand Firs• Principal of Ontario, M.E. Companion Leo J. Gent, who
brought 168 people 10 West Germany to our Grand Chapter and Grand
Council Sessions in May 1973 and put on the Holy R oyal Arch Degree ror
us in Ntirnberg, and MlGM Robert Hiirdy Hall, of Texas and the Divans
and Aahmes Temples.
These have visited the land of the Beer S1cin and when possible, we
held special meetings for them. I'm sure they enjoyed it and, s11ecifieally,
our Companions thought it was wonderful to li:ive such distinguished
Masonic personages visiting us from, as we call it, The Land o( the Round
Door Knob- or as they also refer to the United Slates in E urope as "The
Land of the Big PX ."
It iakes a lot of pleasure away from us in Germany when you do not
let anyone know that you are coming and going to be in our midst and
don't pan a ke of our Fes1ive Boards. I meniion our festive boards to
you, as it may sound odd to many of you, but Lodge Halls io E urope do
not opera1e on the same strict basis of " No Alcoholic Beverages on the
Premises" as you do here in 1he United Stares . By that J do not mean
"In the Lodge Hall itself" buL for example, my Grand Lodge, T he Grand
Loge Natio nale Francais, in France, has its own bar and lounge on the
ground floor of the new Masonic Temple in Neui lly-Sur-Seinc, just out-
side of Pads. In fact, several Past Grand Masters have visited our Grand
Lodge Meetings and, I' m afraid, did not abstain as much as they would
have bad they been in the United States or so I am Jed 10 believe. Alcohol
is not looked upon in the same light in Europe as it is in the Uni1ed S1a1es.
My local lodge, which is General John J. Pershi ng Lodge No. J 66, lo-
cated in Maastrichr, The Netherlands, but comes under the Grand Loge
Natiooale Francais with the permission of Lhe Grand East of The Neth-
 GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 79
'
erlands (this was originally a FrencJ1 Lodge 1hal moved 10 The Nether-
lands a1 the time Prcsidem DeGaulle asked us to depan from France by
31 March 1967) and has comioucd under 1he French National Grand
Lodge, as you know it here in the Stales, since 1hn1 time. It serves beer
and wine, and spi rits, i[ you so desire, during recesses and after meetings.
To give you some idea of 1he caliber of Freemasonry in Europe, l would
like to cile an instance that took place lasl June in Bihhoven, T he Neth-
erlands, approximately 8 kms east of Utrecht. Al this particular dinner.
there were two candidates who had just been installed a11d when they
gave their installation speech, due to my presence, being the only American
member 0£ the organization, the speeches were both given in English.
Frankl.y, I thought this was a marvelous gesture on their part. All of
the other members present, of which there were about 30, also speak and
unders tand English so it was no inconve11ience for them.
T he two candidates were 1he Grand Master of the Rose Croix
or J 8th Degree, which is a separate Jurisdiction in The Netherlands, and
the Grand Master of Masons of The Netherlands. Tw6 rather auspicious
candid.ates to say the least. Some of you may have heard of them. They
were M. W. Bro. van dcr Kerk of the Rose Croix and M. W. Bro. van
Wel.el of the Grand Lodge. Two Super Masons, believe me.
So, whenever any of you are planning a sojourn or something else
in Europe. please remember our Grand Secretary and Recorder R.E. and
R.I. Companion D avid W. Campbell, CMR Box 1644. APO New York
09123 . He, by the way, is a native son or Ohio having been born in
Malvern and you Ohioans should be mighty proud of David, he's done
a fantastic job. All Army, Navy, and Air Force APO's in E urope begi11
witb the prefix 09 and his APO 09123 is located at Spangdahlem Air
Force Base in the Eifel MOluHains located in Western Germany nearby
Bitbu~g and T rier and only an hour from Luxembourg C ity. David is
an air comroller and was voted the Air Comroller of the Year at Spang-
dahlcrn last year - Quite an honor for a young lad.
Jn German)', we have the York Rite, the Scottish Rite under the Orient
of California, the Order of the Eastern Star for the distaff side of the
house and many Companions (David is also a Past Patron), The R ainbow,
DeMo'lay. Three Red Cross or Constantine Conclaves under the Grand
Imperial Council of Scotland (one in Mannheim, one in Munich, and
one c<lmplctcly German Conclave in Niirmberg). T here arc over 44
Blue Lodges 1ha1 conduct their work in English under tl1e American-
Canad ian Land Grand Lodge which comes under the United Grand
Lodges of Germany known in German as the VGL von Deuischland.
We also have several British Lodges in the Diisscldorr area and although
 80 PROCEEDINGS OF TH£
'
we were umder the impression that the Grand Chapter of RAM of Ger-
maoy was a Sovereign and Supreme Organization, the VGL has stated
that it comrols the £irst three degrees of Masonry only and doesn't care how
many Grand Chapters exist in Germany. Therefore, we arc forced to
put up with these existing conditions that allow 1he proposed Grand
Chapter of British RAM to be formed later this year. The main reason
for this circumstance is that the British Ritual differs completely from
ours and consists of only the .Holy Royal Arch Degree. ll1 British
Masonry, t'he Mark Master comes after the Royal Arch and the only
prerequisite is that you be a Master Mason with no Mark Master, Past
Master or Most Excellent Master being required as it is in our jurisdic-
tion. The British wanted to have their own Grand C hapter and are going
ahead wi.th it in order that their Companions will be able to follow their
own British system of the Royal Arch - so they say.
The facilities in Germany we think are excellent although not up
to the standard of what most of you here in the States are accustomed to
and the Masons are wonderful. We have 14 Chapters having lost tJiree
to Austria last December when the Grand Chapter of RAM of Austria
was consecrated by lhe Grand High Priest of Germany, M.E. Companion
William E. Kaloudis, representing the General Grand High Priest. All
of our Chapters meet on a monthly basis as do our 20 Councils. Six of
these Counci ls are in l'laly under the Provincial Grand Council of ltaly
which was approved at our Grand Assembly last May. We also have
a European Shrine Club in Heidelberg that conducts two ceremonials
each year with Moslith and Aahmes Temples sponsoring alternately.
These are held on the 3rd Saturday of April and October of each year
and normally have approximately 100 to I 20 candidates io each Cere-
monial. Last April saw J66 Novices become Nobles under Aahmes
Temple of Oakland, California.
Also, there are numerous l'rincc .Hall Lodges in Germany and for
those of you who know anything about tl1e policies of the Department
of Defense, you know 1hen that the Prince Hall Lodges have forced us
off of every military ins1allation in Europe and have been responsible
for Jhe regular Masonic Lodges being banned from uti lizing all Officers'
and NCO Clubs - yet they are still permitted to use them as DOD states
they are "not a segregated organization." T here is no sense in sayJng
that this has not hurt us because it has. During the Shrinctennial, we had
a total of 1.182 Shriners and wives in the Heidelberg Officers' C lub for
the 'Formal Banquet the night the Imperial Potentate, lmperial Sir Victor
Thornton, was present and Moslah Temple of Fort Worth was the spon-
soring Temple. When we attempted to book the club the next week for the
 GENERAi. GRAND Cou11crL 81

next year, the board 111rned us down due to this policy and also cancelled
ou r booking for the October Ceremonial. Therefore, we were forced
to ren t a local German gymnasium - hardly suitable but what can you
do except take what is available to you - and we must have a hall to
hold over 600 - 700 people at the minimum for each ceremonial and
Banquet.
Frankly, if anything at all, for the number or people participating in
Masonry, \VC have too many Masonic organizations e.ven to include
"The Order of the Tuflles.'' By the way, "are you a T urtle?" Well,
when you ask a silly question you just can't depend upon the answer
you' ll get. However, we do lack the Grono, the Tall Cedars, the White
Shrine, the Amaranth, the Beauceant and a few others. We do have five
mcmb ers of the Knights of the York Cross of Honour that arc members
of the Lily of the Vnlley Priory No. One in Charlone, North Carolina,
and all! of these members bold at least ono quadrant and three of the five
hold two quadrants.
Now after that explanation of what we have in Germany, you might
think t hat T can't wait to get back - you're right - [can't - as this will be
my last year of 27 years of government service in Europe - 5 in ftaly, J3
in France, 7 in Germany and 2 in The Netherlands and next August, it
will be back to the good ole USA. Sandy, my wife, and I intend, at least,
on reUrement in Florida and if I can be of any service whatsoever 10 the
Grand Bodies there or the General Grand Bodies in any capacity, I'll be
only too glad to make myself available. l'rn .tltf>posed to be a husband
first, I know I'm a Mason second and whatever comes after that, comes
third.
w ·hen I was appointed the General Grand Master's Personal Repre-
sentative for Germany at the Triennial in Las Vegas, 1 accepted the posi-
tion gladly and with the hope that I would be able to do some of the things
the General Grand Master wished of me to his satisfaction. r hope I've
accomplished spme of his expectations during the p11st three years. As
f mentioned previously, A Provincial Grand Council bas been approved
for Italy at the request of the (Lalian Companions, which I think is a won-
derful step forward. Frankly, we have found that many of the Italian
Companions do not wish a Grand Council at this particular time, therefore.
all has settled down very well wiU1 three new additional Councils under
dispensation being formed there and one additional Council in Duisberg,
Germany, Making a total in all of 19 under our Grand Council.
I represented the General Grand Master at the Grand Counci l of
England and Wales in London in April 1972 and 1973 and Past Most
82 PROCEEDINGS 01' T H E

Illustrious Grnnd Master. and present Grand High Pl'iest for the second
year as my successoc as the next General Grand Master's Personal R ep-
resen1a1ive for Germany, Most .Illustrious Companion William E . Kaloudis,
represented him in 1974 when it was impossible for me to attend and
llill was already visiting in England at tile time. Neither of us were avail-
able this past April as we both have to work occasionally.
As for the Grand Council of Germany itself, the following statistics
are available to those of you who may bavc sufficient interest to jot them
down as we 1hink they show a iremeodous imcrest in Cryptic Masonry in
Germany and the J urisdic1ion we cover.
To go biick five years, on J. J anuary 1969, we started off the calendar
year with but 982 members. By the end of the year. and after deducting
nur losses from our gains in each of 1he following cases, we showed au
increase of IOL new members and ended up with J,082. For 1970, we
increased by 45 10 1.128. In 1971, we showed an incre;ise of 86 to 1,214.
Again in 1972 we forged ahead with an increase of 116 to 1,330; ln
1973, an increase of on ly 33 ending up with l,363; and finally, in 1974.
we added an increase of 37 and reached the 1,400 mark. Wich our five
new Councils, of which three of chese will most likely be consecrated next
May 1976. plu~ the number of members thai have been greeted so far
this year and wi1h the Heidelberg York Rito Festival taking place this
coming weekend, we might easi ly show another increase of over 100
new members providing the suspensions don't °''t up the profits in mem-
bership. We are only a small Grand Council chartered by this Genernl
Grand Council in September 1957 at Sun Valley. Idaho, and wilh less
than 20 years of operations in a foreign land. to go from less than a hun-
dred members to 1,400 members on the roUs, we feel is another step
in che right d irection for Cryptic Masonry when a good number of Grand
Councils are losing members and showing a minus figure for these same
years.
Our biggest problem is suspension for non-payment of dues and this
malady appears to be world wide in our affluent sociccy. l remember in
one of my reports as Grand Recorder, I told our Grand Assembly that
"we arc suspending ourselves right out of business." For a small Grand
Body such as ours. we should not have over 10 to 20 suspensions at the
most in any one year but we have had four and five times that. We have
lost lhrough suspensions over 700 members in the past 10 years. Now.
naturally, we would have expected to lose many of these through demits
if thev had not been suspended but to lose 700 through suspensions is
a drastic situation. Even ir we had half of chose 700, we would be up to
l.750 members today instead of treading water at 1,400. No'~ we rank
 GENERAL GRAND CollNCll. 83
around 34tb out of 45 Grand Councils within the General Grand and this
isn't bad in my book for a Foreign Jurisdiction.
T he main reason for this suspension circumstance is 1hat the con-
stituent Recorders are changed too often due to military rotations. Jn
some cases, this happens every ye<1r and sometimes twice a year and these
Recorders just never seem to 1~ealize the importance of getting active
enough to want to do something about retaining our members on ll1e
rolls. They don' t get their dues notices out to their members, and they don't
write letters to delinquents, which I think can be blamed on the passive
society we live in. Very few of our Recorders seem to have that "get in
there and pitch" anitude that one needs to reduce ll1ese suspension figures.
Not au react in this manner - there may be one, two or even three
that do an extremely line job and these are the companions that have been
in the Recorder's job for more than one year and know more about their
work and realize the importance of it. At one time, R.P. Companion
Bruce Hunt requested all Grand Recorders to have a Seminar - I think
this was an>und 1972 if I'm not mistaken. 1 gave all Constituent Councils
two months' notice to appear in Worms, Germany, the seat of Martin
Luiher; but, unfortunately, l guess most of them were oot of the Luiheran
faith :and did not show up. Only llircc of 15 Councils made it that Sun-
day and these were the three that did not need any part of tile Seminar
whatSoevcr. All the rest should have been there and weren't.
On tbe other side of the coin, we must remember that a good number
of these young Companions arc out in the field on exercises most or the
time and when they return to their quarters i1fter from 2 to 7 days on an
exercise and the lllustrious Master calls and asks if those seven letters
were mailed out - The R ecorder just doesn't feel like doing what is re-
quired of him. It's a bad situation but I think that they do as good a
job under the circumstances as they can overall taking everything in to
consideration. But, I feel they could and should do a lot more - However,
we are not goiqg downhill but uphill - but how? Only because in Germany
there is tremendous interest in the Cry11tic Rite. For example, last April
at our Heidelberg York Rite Festival, we had 26 Chapter Candidates,
24 Counci l Candidates, and l think 46 Commandery Candidates. The only
lliing wrong with this, in my opinion. was thut there were far too many
Commandcry Candidates for the size or the hall to portray the Order of
the Temple properly, otherwise, it was a huge success. And should M.
F.min:ent Grand Master rueglc arrive in Germany next spring as planned,
I sincerely hope we don't have too many candidates that day or I'm afra;d
he'll b e disappointed in what the candidates sec and don't sec.
84 PROCBEDINGS OF THB

And if we can find a way 10 solve this suspension sitt1ation, we may

find ourselves charging into high gear as we endeavor to ascend this gigan-
tic Masonic summit we are attempting 10 reach. We have all the support
and backing we need f.rom General Grand Council - that has been won-
derful. I know during my four years as Grand Recorder, all I had 10
do was to drop Bruce Hunt a line and either the assistance I was looking
for was back by return mail or whatever else .! needed, came along im-
mediately. l can make only one real recommendation 10 the new General
Grand Nlaster and that is that more copies of the "Advance" should be
furnished the Grand Councils. We, in Germany, should have one copy
on every Constituent Council's bulletin board 10 show the new members
that they arc part of a great organization tbat is working for them and
that they should show their appreciation in turn by working for lhe
perpetuation of the General Grand Council. Thank you kindly, Com-
paoions.

[ APPENDIX
II

On Monday, September 29, the delegates and their ladies were treated
to a Bicentennial Extravaganza or dancing, singing, and acrobatics. The
singing team of Helen and Billy Scon were greatly enjoyed. Gale Gil~
soprnno soloist, with Dick Otto at the piano, entenaincd the ladies and
guests for over one-half hour. The family acrobatic and tumbling group,
billed as The Pisanis, were extraordinary and graceCul in their movements.
The entire program, which was climaxed by The Challengers, was a two
hour extravaganza that would be difficult to equal anywhere any time.

The type of entertainment offered the guests and delegates was the
high level variety which should always be a part or any triennial assembly.

The traditional banquet of General Grand Chapter and General Grand

Council was held Tuesday evening with nearly a thousand in attendance.
This black-tie affair is always n highlight of the triennial sessions. General
Grand Master Hoyt McClendon and General Grand King Gordon R.
Merrick shared the gavel at the head table. Numerous General Grand
Chapter awards were made at the Banquet.

Following the Banquet, an interesting musical program concluded

the evening's entertainment .
•
On Wednesday, October I, the ladies were treated to what was
reported to be a most interesting and informal modeling nnd lecture by
Mrs. Fred Wilson on "Ohio Amish Religion and Customs". The ladies
were also treated to a fine fur demonstration by courtesy or the Eastern
Mink Breeders Association.

It would be difficult to list in detail all the entertainment and other

pleasantries offered the delegates and their guests on this occasion.
