TWO JUNEAUITES
TAKE SHRINE AT
KETCHIKAN RITE
Two candidates from Juneau, Dr. Joyce D. Smith and William Huston, were among the class of 29 taking the Shrine at the recent ceremonial at Ketchikan.
Details of the Shrine event last week in the First City were disclosed here today by J. W. Leivers, local Shrine Club Secretary, who was in Ketchikan during the festivities.
An Indian Community House, at Mud Bight, 10 miles north of Ketchikan, furnished a background of totem poles and tribal lore contrasting the colorful robes of the Shriners for the first section of the work on seven of the candidates. A pictured record of the unique rite was made by the taking of a number of movie and still shots of the scene. Mr. Leivers said
The remainder of the work was given in the Ketchikan Masonic Temple that same evening, preceded by a vivid parade headed by the Ketchikan Shrine band.
The Divan of Officers from Nile Temple, Seattle, together with Imperial Potentate Alfred G. Arnold, came to Ketchikan to hold the ceremonial inducting the 29 candidates. The party from the States remained in Ketchikan one week, returning to Seattle last Saturday aboard the Princess Louise. Fifty Shriners and wives made up the group.
The week was filled for the visitors with fishing, sightseeing, Shrine rites and was climaxed by the Potentate's dinner and dance. Friday evening.
