Many fine com­ ments from the ladies and companions in attendance testified to the appropriateness of a religious service to begm an international Masonic gathering of this magnitude. There were more than 1000 in attendance. The service included appropriate memorials to the members who were Jost by death during the past triennium. The offering was divided between the charities of the two international bodies. And now, 0 Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to Jove him, to serve the LORD your God with all your soul, and to observe the LORD'S commands.

REPORT OF AUDITOR

Finance Co1nn1ittce General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International

Gentlen1en:

We have exan1ined the statement of assets and fund balances arising from cash transactions of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International for the three year period ended July 31, 1987 and the related statement of receipts collected and disbursements made for the years then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

It is this organization's policy to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, consequently, certain receipts and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned and certain disbursements are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is in­ curred. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the assets and fund balances arising from cash transactions of the General Grand Coun­ cil of Cryptic Masons International for the three year period ended July 31, 1987, and the receipts collected and disbursements made during the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in the preceding paragraph, which basis has been applied in a manner consistent with that of the preceding periods.

Respectfully Submitted,

ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL GRAND MASTER We welcome each of you to the Thirty-sixth Triennial Assembly of your General Grand Council. To our distinguished guests, leaders ofother bodies of Masonry, we appreciate your attendance and you honor us with your presence. We present to you this report of your General Grand Master and all other Officers, not for your approval, but for your consideration of the future of this international body. We report what we have done, but that is past. But at the same time we hope that we have continued laying a firm base for and for the future officers to work with and to build upon. All of us too often forget that as leaders and especially presiding officers, our main concern of the Craft should be the business of Masonry. We follow the precepts and principles of Masonry, from the first degree of E A to the last degree conferred upon us. We follow, believe in, practice and advance these prin­ ciples, and as presiding officers attempt to place these into.the business of Masonry. So we report to you our stewardship of this office and this body for these three years. Our problem now is to be brief, because to condense three years into a few pages seems impossible. Many more pages could be written of our travels, our pleasures, a few headaches and very few problems of our steward­ ship. And, unfortunately we have to skip many names of those who have touched and enriched our life and happiness. So we thank you, and all Masons, for giving us three-no, nine or more, years of allowing us to service Cryptic Masonry. We only hope that we have fulfilled your trust and advanced Masonry to some extent.

NECROLOGY We appreciate the Memorial Service held Sunday and the Necrology Report by the Chairman of the Necrology Committee. Man is born but to die, and the Great Architect of the Universe has seen fit to take fro111 our ranks several 111e111bers who served this Masonic Body well and faithfully. Among those we shall miss are two Past General Grand Masters, Owen L. Shanteau and James D. Penley, Jr. Two of our appointed Officers were also call­ ed to the Lodge above: Charles H. Warner, Sr. and Ralph R. Tonkin. We also note the loss ofour Chairman of the State of the Rite Committee, N. Tracy Walker and Robert L. Grubb, Ambassador and Wallace J. Knopp, S. C., Past GO Marshal. In their absence, we thank their families for their .services to the General Grand Council and to Masonry in general, and our sympathy to those families and loved ones. At the services for Dr. Owen L. Shanteau the General Grand Council was represented by RP Evan L. Fleming, Jr., and by RP E. Leslie Webb, Jr. at the services for James D. Penley, Jr. We appreciate their accepting these representations. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 25

STATE OF THE RITE We are pleased and proud that more and more of the Council is accepted as an equal partner in the York Rite of , at all levels of the Rite. As the middle body of the Rite, we must, and are, attaining closer cooperation in York Rite. This acceptance has been increasing for the last 12-15 years, and has been more acceptable in the last 3-4 years. We have visited some 52 Grand Councils in the last four years and have read the Address of some 42 Grand Masters, in their Proceedings for 1986-87. I find the Grand Masters and myself about equally optimistic and pessimistic concern­ ing Cryptic Masonry. Optimistic, Yes. We are seeing more and more young faces among the Grand Officers whose ideas and abilities are evident in their jurisdictions. These "baby­ boomers" are pushing their opinions and performing as leaders, which we badly need. Cryptic Masonry, and Masonry in general, will not change easily, rapidly or drastically. But, change we must, as our life style changes, Masonry will also undergo changes, and I look for these younger leaders to formulate and force these changes for the good of the Order. Equally pessimistic-Yes. Too many Grand Bodies are rotating officers and too few new and younger men are involved by appointment or election. Too often the Past Grands use a veto on innovative or new ideas, with the statement like, "We did not do that 30 years ago". It is time for Companions my age to become "elder statesmen", advisors and mentors, but not deterrants and vetoers. We have made our mark and our mistakes, so give some new Companions their op­ portunity, and now. Cryptic Masonry is slowly growing, and in the last decade has become more finnly planted in its rightful place and is making its presence felt in the Masonic World.

APPOINTMENTS December 5, 1984 John T. Reidas, Sr. of Illinois, Chairman of the State of the Rite Committee. June 6, 1985 Neal D. Leech of Oklahoma, General Grand Marshal. Installed at Tulsa, Oklahoma. October 25, 1985 John H. Watts, Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee. October 26, 1985 W. Ralph Cato, Ambassador to North Carolina. October 27, 1985 Alcus A.

on March 23, 1986 by RP Evan L. Fleming, Jr., GGPCW. March 23, 1986 Walter E. Ford, Jr., Ambassador to Tennessee. While we miss the Companions who held some of these offices, we are pleased that the appointments above more than adequately filled the office, and were much assistance to the General Grand Master and General Grand Council. My per­ sonal thanks to each of them.

CHARTERS AND DISPENSATIONS The following Charter and Dispensation was prepared and mailed to our Regional Deputy, RP Joh M. van Beusekom who subsequently set these Bodies to work in Cryptic Masonry. April 29, 1986 Charter to: El Salvador Council #1 San Salvador, C.A. Dispensation to: Costa Rica Council, U.D. Costa Rica, C. A. May 12, 1986 A Charter was prepared and mailed to the Grand Coun­ cil, R & SM, of Maryland, showing their affiliation with the General Grand Council. A Charter had never been issued to Maryland, and they asked for such. We have carried on considerable correspondance with George W. Chen ofTiawan, R 0 C, regarding a Council in Taipai, Tiawan. The file will be turned over to the new General Grand Master, as we were unable to set a date for such a Coun­ cil, although I had approved in principle. Inasmuch as I had promised Comp. Chen I would go to Tiawan, I will endeavor to keep that promise, and assist in the formation of a Council there if at all possible. June 23, 1987 Dispensation to: Bacaramanga, Colombia, S.A. By petition of twelve Companions, we issued a Dispen­ sation for the formation of Colombia Council Cryptic Masons, naming Companion Carlos Reynaldo Figueroa­ Galvis as the Illustrious Master, U. D., and other of­ fiCers as named in the Dispensation. While such Dispensation should be delivered in person by a representative of the General Grand Master, time and distance prohibited that action. Thus the Dispensa­ tion was mailed to the acting Recorder. This will allow this Council to start work, along with the Chapter in this city in Columbia. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 27

OFFICIAL ACTS AND DECISIONS Very few decisions were required during the Triennium, and were easily disposed of, hopefully to everyones satisfaction. The major decision was the Foun­ dation, and this subject is covered in another section of this address. l. The New York Centennial Deposit was opened in 1980, as reported by MP John H. Watts in the 1981 Proceedings. The contents of the box are now in the possession of RP James A. Kirkbride, DGGM, and he has volunteered to make a list of these contents for the official record, and then place as many items as possible in the Cryptic Room in the Washington Memorial. As reported in 1980, the "iron box" is large and very heavy, and yet was the property of the General Grand Council. As shipping and using would be ex­ pensive, as well as size, I released this property to RP Stuart Sturges who made provision for it to be placed in the Robert R. Livingston Library and Museum Grand Lodge of N.Y., Utica division, Cryptic Room. 2. On April 25, 1985, I signed bank papers for the Old Kent State Bank, for RP Royce E. Curlis, GG Treasurer regarding the Permanent Fund. 3. June 1, 1985. Prepared and mailed PGMs Certificates (cards) to all PGMs of the Grand Council of Rhode Island. This was not done in 1983 when this Grand Council affiliated with the General Grand Council, I received several letters thank­ ing me for the gesture. 4. Comps. Alcus A. Dean, Personal Representative in Panama requested a decision on obtaining petitions for Cryptic Masonry from Royal Arch Masons in the Virgin Islands. By letter dated July 21, 1986, I informed Comp. Dean that the Virgin Islands were open territory, and that he could obtain petitions from qualified Masons in the Islands. 5. I was asked by Grand Council Officers of two different jurisdictions if the Youth Leadership Medal could be awarded to a Mason who was not a Cryp­ tic Mason. Unofficially I answered that the nominee must be a Cryptic Mason, and later referred the questioners to Page 93 of the 1984 Proceedings. The adopted Resolution states the nominee must be a member of a Cryptic Council. 6. While the rules for awarding the Mordhurst Medal to a Grand Recorder, state that the Medal is awarded for 15 years of service as a Grand Recorder, we know of one Grand Recorder who has served for 14 years and 9 months. On split decision and advice of the General Grand elective officers, I ruled that the medal will be presented at this Triennial Assembly. Then, I find that MP John H. Watts served 14 years and 11 months up to September 1984, and I regret that he had to wait three more years for the medal to be presented to him. 28 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

RECOMMENDATION I have inade several recom1nendations to the incoming elective officers of the General Grand Council, but only as personal opinions for them to consider during their term of office. I had not intended to make any recommendations to the Craft. However, because of the Decision #5, I realize that there might be some con­ fusion on the various awards of this General Grand Council. I therefore recom­ mend that the following section on Awards be printed in the Proceedings follow­ ing our Constitution. This would be available for men1bers to refer to for nominating Companions fOr our various awards.

FINANCES The reports of the General Grand Treasurer and General Grand Recorder show that we stayed well within our budget for 1984-87. For the few items that were overspent, more were underspent, and with the approval of the elective of­ ficers, some monies were shifted from one item to another. Without mentioning names, because the Companions would not approve, several Companions donated money to me for use in any special program. These were matched by the Mandlebaum's to print more copies of "The Good of the Order". Then each of you has received a souvenir Cryptic Pin, donated from funds for our "Okies" for this Triennial Assembly. All we can do is to thank these Companions for their assistance. I must be frank and state that without personal financing of ALL of the Of­ ficers, this General Grand Council could not function, especially in visitations. As stated elsewhere, we are taking our rightful place in the International York Rite of Freemasonry, but at a large expense to our Officers. To ask a companion to accept an appointive office for three years, and know he will spend 2 to 3 times what his budget expense will return is clearly an imposition-yet we do it and they accept. We are, in Cryptic Masonry, at the local, state and international levels, under financed. Compare your Council dues to the Commandery, Scottish Rite and Shrine, and then agree·with me. Then, as General Grand Master, you hesitate to request an Officer to continue traveling when you know his budget has been depleted. Yet, every Officer accepted every assignment this Triennium. Try to find a General Grand Recorder with the ability, prestige and caliber of the one we have, and at the salary we offer. He cannot accept unless he has other income which makes the office only a part time job for Cryptic Masonry. But the more we plan programs, extra printing, mail, travel, etc. the more the office is not a part time office, and the more time is needed for the function of an international body office, and staff. Statement: Our per capita should be in the range of SOC to 60C, so we could GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 29 do more for our affiliated membership, and quit being a quarter organization. But, I know better than to make such a recommendation.

VISITATIONS Following our policy of assignments to Grand Councils, we have had an of· ficer at every Grand Assembly except one, and that one, Nevada, 1987, was fill­ ed by our Ambassador. We appreciate MI Frank E. Hart for accepting that assignment. While I hoped to visit each Grand Council during the Triennium, conflicts were inevitable, and I have not been able to schedule five Grand Councils, Min­ nesota, Missouri, Alaska, Germany and the Philippines. I did visit the first two in early 1984, and still have plans to get to the other three in the next year or so. In addition, we had the honor and pleasure of visiting Grand Councils of Texas, Ohio, Ontario, Connecticut and Eastern Canada, who do not belong to the General Grand Council. We appreciate invitations from these, and hope that our talks in each helped to explain the General Grand Council, what we are, what we are working towards, and maybe someday they will affiliate with us in Cryp­ tic Masonry. We also attended too many Grand Chapters and Grand Commandaries to count, in conjunction with combined York Rite Meetings, and then, six Grand Lodges besides Oklahoma. At least once in the Triennium we had the honor of attending Convent General, Red Cross of Constantine, AMD, etc., in Washington, Grand Masters Conference, York Rite College, Triennial of the Grand Encampment, Imperial Shrine, DeMolay Supreme Council, AASR, SMJ, AASR, NMJ and the Annual Meeting of the Board of the RAM Magazine. At other times the General Grand Council was represented at some meetings of the above bodies by other Officers always carrying the banner of Cryptic Masonry. For the record, a complete list of travels is on file with the General Grand Recorder, listing by date and place but only where I was representing the General Grand Council, not all meetings attended-yet the list is over 120 places, 46 States, Dist. Col., two Canadian Provinces and Italy. It is impossible to mention the numerous Companions and Ladies who con­ tributed such hospitality for my Lady and myself. Sight-seeing trips where possi­ ble, rides to and from many airports, even bed and board in their home, and many excellent meals with good conversation; we could not ask for more. We also appreciate being asked to install several Grand Council's Officers, and hope that we made an impression on them with the installation and our remarks about Cryptic Masonry. In our visits we have collected some 120 Honorary membership cards and certificates. This we mention only for the reason that we appreciate such a souvenir, because we can look back at these to remind us of the most pleasurable 30 PROCEEDINGS OF THE visits we had in these places. Yes, thanks to many, many people, including a good travel agent, we have enjoyed all of our travels and visits to your Masonic meetings, of all .

SPECIAL EVENTS My thanks to the Grand Council of Oklahoma and Bartlesville Council for the Reception honoring RP Charles H. Warner, Sr., and Joan, RP Seymour B. Ingerson and Tomme and Murie and myself. This was held in Tulsa on November 3, 1984 and many friends were there to visit with us, unfortunately RP Warner was ill and could not attend. We received many letters from friends wishing us good luck and congratulations, friends who could not travel to Tulsa, and we appreciate their remembering us on that day. Our thanks to ME Robert L. Taylor, Sr., and Alice who planned and did most of the work at the Reception. At the suggestion of our Hawaii Companions, especially MI John Johnston and RI Homer A. Cundiff we travelled to Hawaii, with Phil and Dorothy Hofer and Bob and Grace Beck. Not for their Grand Council, but to meet with two Council's there at a dinner and open meeting on an informal basis to discuss Cryp­ tic Masonry. We fully appreciate the courtesy of Jack and Homer in setting these meetings up, and accompanying us, along with sight-seeing trips to Honolulu. Some business but also a pleasure trip for us, and we were accompanied by Mrs. Earleen Long, a personal friend. We take our hat off to ME Richard S. Sager of Georgia who conceived the idea of the General Grand Officers/Grand Encampment Class Festival. This was held at the in Atlanta on October 31-November 1, 1986, with over 200 candidates for the York Rite, from nine states and over 450 Compa­ nions attending. Our thanks to ME Sager, ME H. Grady Keith and the many Georgia Companions and workers for the honor afforded ME Walter H. Win­ chester, GGHP, ME Donald H. Smith, Grand Master and myself. We all agreed that the conferral of the York Rite Degrees and Orders was the best overall we have ever attended in any Festival-eliminating the parts taken by Walter, Don and myself. But, most important, the number of candidates from these several states gave a boost to York Rite Masonry in Georgia and elsewhere. Many of the National and International Officers were also in attendance, and we appreciate their support. We attended Special Meetings where and when possible; the lOOth Anniver­ sary of the Grand Council of Oregon, the !25th Anniversary Festival of the Grand Council of New Jersey, dedication of the DeMolay Service Center and the testimonial Dinner honoring Charles K. A. McGaughey. We do regret missing the 50-year pin presentation of MP Bruce H. Hunt, by the . Then, we had the honor of installing our son, William, as WM of his Lodge in Ohio. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 31

AMBASSADORS The plan of the General Grand Council having an Ambassador in each jurisdic­ tion originated several years ago. My concept of their duties and usefulness is now in our pa1nphlet, "For the Good of the Order." Attetnpting to n1aintain cor­ respondence with all of these Ambassadors, by the General Grand Master, is impossible. During this Triennium we have had an excellent Ambassador-in-Chief, MI Howard A. Larson, of Illinois, who carried on quarterly correspondance with the Ambassadors, as well as other letters to the Officers as needed for reports and suggestions. Our thanks to Howard and every Ambassador for their reports, letters and general activity in behalf of their jurisdiction and this Body. You have flooded my mail-box at times but have helped me know about Cryptic Masonry in your state and region. We salute each of you for your service and efforts in Cryptic Masonry.

CRYPTIC MASONS MEDICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION Following the death of Dr. Shanteau, PGGM and Executive Secretary of the Foundation, the two remaining members of the Foundation Board, based and incorporated in Indiana, asked to be relieved of their duties. We appreciate the work of MI H. Hanly Hammel, Jr. and MI Millard W. McConnell during the fonnative years of the Foundation. The elective officers of the General Grand Council decided to move the Foundation to Oklahoma, and place it directly under the elective officers, which had never been done previously. The move was made because we had very adequate legal assistance in Oklahoma with Joseph S. Lewis and James A. Hogue, Sr., as our legal advisors. The second decision was to change the name, and make the scope more open to future medical research. Accordingly, with the legal assistance of our advisors, and with their firm legal control, an Oklahoma Corporation was set up, and the legal papers prepared for IRS submission and approval. By-laws were written, and submitted for ap­ proval to the IRS along with necessary legal requests. This was all completed within a period of seven months. Our tax-exempt number, for the Foundation is #73-1272099. The By-laws of the Foundation list the five elective officers of the General Grand Council as members of the Board, with the General Grand Master as Presi­ dent. Three others making a total of eight, have been appointed to the Board, MI Marion K. Crum, PGM of Indiana, MI (Dr.) Kenneth G. Hill, GM of In­ diana and MP John H. Watts, PGGM of Iowa. I appointed Comp. Crum as Secretary, and Comp. Hill as Medical advisor. These appointive members will serve until this Triennial Session, when the members of the General Grand Council shall elect or re-elect three members for 1987-90. The elective officers will 32 PROCEEDINGS OF THE automatically move up, the new General Grand Master becoming President of the Board. There is no change in the scope of the Foundation, research on arteriosclerosis and arterial diseases, and at the University of Indiana Medical School. New brochures have been printed and are available from the Board Secretary. Comp. Crum hired Mrs. Vici Rainwater to work in the office, taking care of mailing, books, records, etc. Within the legal scope of the Indiana Corporation Charter, the funds of that Corporation were donated to the present Foundation, and all financial transac­ tions completed. We have donated $24,000 more to the Medical School in 1986 and 1987-now a total of $96,000 since 1978. The brochures were prepared by Dr. August M. Watanabe and Dr. Nils Bang of the Medical School, as well as reports from them to the Board. These were written in consultation with Dr. Hill, our Medical Advisor, who has been in­ valuable to the Board with his Medical and Masonic knowledge. We have made three trips to Indiana consulting with Drs. Watanabe and Bang and Comp. Marion Crum on the Foundation and the business thereof. We wish to express our appreciation for the assistance of our lawyers-Joseph S. Lewis and James A. Hogue, Sr., as we would have been lost without their help and advice. The labors of Marion K. Crum and Dr. Kenneth G. Hill were also invaluable, and with these Companions all working, the relocation and reestablishing of the Foundation was completed without any loss in our status as a Foundation, serving Cryptic Masonry.

CRYPTIC ROOM During this Triennium we found that the Cryptic Room in the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, VA., was again closed. On investigation we found necessary repairs being made, complete replastering of the several niches, and some walls. RP James A. Kirkbride, DGGM, made a special trip to Alexandria and other Officers visited the Memorial when in Washington, D.C. at other meetings, several times. The sound system has been completely replaced by our representative, Comp. Charles C. Roder, and a new tape commentary has been made and is in use. MP Bruce H. Hunt also wrote a commentary for the Memorial Guides to use when showing visitors through the Room. This also is being used, as an assistance to the Guides. As a brief final report to date, the General Grand Council received a bill for $11,813.07 which will have to be paid during the upcoming Triennium. Us­ ing the $2,000 budgeted, and adding some to it, we have paid $3,000 on this bill. The Room is again open, the plastering will be painted after setting and ag- GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 33 ing. Therefore it becomes our duty to continue upkeep and repairs for this Cryp­ tic Room, as a showcase of Cryptic Masonry in the Memorial. For those of you who have not ever visited the Memorial and the Cryptic Room, you will see so1ne of the better paintings of Masonry in this Room.

AWARDS The system of Awards has been continued. The Medal of Honor, awarded to an outstanding Cryptic Mason during the Triennium, the Columbian Medal, to an outstanding Cryptic Mason in each Region, and three at-large, and the Mordhurst Medal, honoring Grand Recorders for 15 years of service will all be presented tonight at the Banquet. The Past Grand Master's jewel and Certificate have been presented in each Jurisdiction to all retiring Past Grand Masters. A Cryptic Mason of the Year Medal has been presented at most Grand Council Assemblies. I have to quote MOST, not all. At one Grand Assembly, the Grand Master announced he had received no recom1nendations, and at another) the on­ ly recommendation was based on what the Companion had done in his Chapter, and the Grand Master rejected the recommendation. Surely, there are Compa­ nions worthy of recognition in all jurisdictions, or are their fellow Companions just too lazy to make a recommendation. The Youth Medal has been presented in all or most jurisdictions that we know about. We have continually stressed that this Medal should be to a Companion not a PGM or Grand Officer, but cannot refuse such a recommendation as General Grand Council did not approve such in 1984. We have also recommended that the Medal Honoree be announced at Grand Assemblies, but the presentation made at the Annual Youth Body meeting. We are missing a point of publicity and con­ tact with the Youth Bodies in not making this presentation at their Annual Meetings. It has been a pleasure and a privilege of the General Grand Master and other General Grand Officers to assist in these presentations, and we appreciate being asked to honor our Companions in each jurisdiction. During the Triennium we presented two types of Certificates that I had prepared. Thesi; were for special people to thank them for service to the General Grand Master or special service to the General Grand Council. Certificates of Appreciation were for personal service, and signed by myself, and presented to sixteen Companions or Ladies. Certificates of Commendation were for service to the General Grand Coun­ cil, and signed by myself and the General Grano Recorder, MP Bruce H. Hunt, and presented to twelve companions or ladies. 34 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

PUBLICATIONS The Cryptic Freemason is published quarterly and mailed from the Grand Recorder's Office to all permanent members of the General Grand Council, as well as to may subscribers. Cost for subscription is $2.00 per year, and $30.00 for life, which we set in 1986, and already have several life subscriptions. Our deep appreciation to MI Lawrence K. Offenbecker of Minnesota for his labors as Editor of the C-FM. Larry has done very well up-grading the Magazine, finding more input for it, and starting a new colu1nn on news. We are getting 1nore and more inforn1ation from State Jurisdictions, for Larry to use, and con­ tinue to ask for more-this being your Magazine, we need your news in it. I started the plan of having each Elective Officer write the lead article this Triennium. This gives the DGGM, GGPCW and GG Recorder an opportunity to "say their piece" annually. If any other elective officer had an article, it ap­ peared elsewhere in the Magazine. Larry has also used pictures with each arti­ cle, so you know who your General Grand Officers are, and what they look like assun1ing the picture is realistic. We have continued in printing the Cryptic World, combined with the Capitular World, reviews by Bruce H. Hunt, and passed out these at Conferences and other meetings as long as the supply lasted. These have been well received, and if we had sufficient financing, we should print more copies for distribution. Perhaps in the future we can ask each Grand Recorder to get a copy to each of his PGMs and Grand Officers-we do not have that capability at present, man-power or financial. From my office, I have mailed a quarterly report to the Officers, one or two pages to inform them of what we are doing, what we plan and where we are during the Triennium. We have added short notes to some officers, with sugges­ tions for their visits and for their information. At the first round of Conferences we passed out copies of a paper on Leader­ ship, written by MI M.C. Lewis of Arkansas. Some extra copies were passed out by the Officers when visiting. Many Companions asked about copying this paper in their jurisdictions, and permission was granted. The more we can publish for our membership, the more useful the General Grand Council becomes. But we did not have other, items like this to pass out at other Conferences. Using Dr. Shanteau's base, I rewrote the "For the Good of the Order", and when we ran out of copies some friends donated further funds, which I matched and reprinted another 1500 copies, which were all distributed. At this Triennial Assembly you will find a new issue, which I up-dated and we printed sufficient copies to last for a few more months. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 35

INTERNATIONAL YORK RITE COUNCIL The !YR Council meets annually in Washington, D.C. to discuss common problems and to consider cooperation within the three Bodies. The three presiding officers, GGHP, GGM, and GM, GE meet frequently at Conferences and other places and keep each other informed on the business of their respective bodies. We have revised the Conference Guidelines, joined in contributions to DeMolay, and arranged cooperation in several other areas. We appreciate the cooperation of the presiding officers, and the three General Grand Secretary-Recorders, as well as the input and ideas of the Past Grands, and the Elective Officers of the three bodies. This Council tries to show the way for cooperation in the York Rite, and we are succeeding very well towards that goal. Due to conflicts in attendance at other Masonic Bodies meetings, considera­ tion is being given to having the Chairman, who alternates each year, represent the combined York Rite. This has been done a few times this Triennium, and perhaps we shall see more of it in the future. Where cooperation is needed, this Council needs suggestions from State Grand Bodies that will better affect cooperation, and suggestions that will benefit the York Rite. We are not talking about unity, but are putting more and more coopera­ tion into effect and working closely in harmony on the National and International scale. And a tip of my hat to two who have been most cooperative York Rite-wise, Dr. Walter H. Winchester and Donald H. Smith.

CONFERENCES The seven Regional Conferences have been continued, and new Guidelines have been prepared for the future Conferences. At all times we had an Elective Officer as well as the Regional Deputy in attendance. Due to budget, we only assign one elective officer to each Conference, which means we have less atten­ dance than the other Bodies so far as Officers is concerned. I attended 12 Con­ ferences, RP James A. Kirkbride attended seven and RP Evan L. Fleming Jr. attended six. The Regional Deputies have, in every case, done an excellent job of schedul­ ing, presiding and reporting on the Conference. If you follow our publication, reports on the Conferences have been briefed in the Cryptic Freemason, and com­ plete reports have been circulated to all elective officers, and other interested officers in each Region. Our thanks to the Regional Deputies, and we appreciate their cooperation with the other York Rite Officers in planning, scheduling and co-presiding at these Conferences. 36 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

One of our aiins is being more and more accotnplished, that of getting more of the State Junior Officers to attend the Conferences, and thereby spread our York Rite message to them, and help them in future planning in their jurisdic­ tion. Attendance has been increasing each year in all Regions, and as a result, n1ore information is being disseminated and more subjects discussed, and ideas exchanged.

RITUAL We surveyed the various Grand Councils to determine which used 111usic in the conferral of our degrees, and found that several used music. Others reported that music would be useful and add to the ceremonies of the Cryptic Degrees. We also had so1ne copies of music donated for reviewing, which was appreciated. Accordingly, the Ritual Committee, under Ml C. Robert Beck has considered the possibilities of making such music available on tape or cassettes. The Com­ n1ittee will report at this Session. However, the use of different rituals, as well as the adopted General Grand Council ritual makes the work of presenting music difficult. Such music will have to be adaptable to whatever ritual is in use in various jurisdictions, each taking the parts of the music which will fit their ritual. We have had no requests for ritual changes or interpretation.

AFFILIATION CERTIFICATES When a Grand Council is formed, such as Hawaii and Alaska, the General Grand Council issues a Charter to the new Grand Council. This, however, does not impose upon their sovereignity, but merely shows their legality. Some jurisdic­ tions have Charters, issued 1nany years ago, others never received one, or have lost the one issued. So, by questionnaire and at Grand Council visits, we aSked if there was any desire or need for a Charter, and immediately were informed that the word "Cha1ter" was not correct, but a means of showing Affiliation in the General Grand Council would be more correct. Many Grand Councils stated they would like to have such a Certificate, and therefore this proposal will be considered in detail by RP James A. Kirkbride during 1987-90.

CRYPTIC INSIGNIA In the past several years, especially at Conferences, we were asked if there was, or should be, an official Cryptic or Council insignia or emblem. This to be used on stationary, jewelry and other uses for Cryptic Masons. I initiated a questionnaire to Grand Councils and Ambassadors asking about interest in such, and over 90% replied and indicated the desire for an official emblem or insignia. Many replies sent drawings and/or pictures of what was used in their jurisdictions. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 37

From these replies and ideas I have drawn up a suggested Cryptic Mason insignia, as detailed below. This design incorporates the emblems of Cryptic Masonry-the square, circle, broken triangle, sword and trowel. All of these to be outlines in gold, and the background to be purple, the color of Cryptic Masonry. We have no authority to ask any Grand Council or Council to adopt this design. If, however, the General Grand Council, by vote at this Triennial Assembly wishes to adopt it,· we so recommend it. We believe that, in tilne, 1nany jurisdic­ tions would adopt it, and even jewelry manufacturers would start making their jewelry accordingly. This we leave for this Assembly to consider.

Description: Lines-Gold Background-Purple

APPRECIATION First, our thanks to the members of the General Grand Council for allowing me to serve you as an officer and as General Grand Master. I accepted office in 1978, saying it was a "job" to be done, and I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to serve Masonry. As usual, we can never complete all we plan, but much advancement in Cryptic Masonry has been accomplished. In the preceding paragraphs I have thanked several people, but again, my thanks to each and every Officer of the General Grand Council. Each has gone further in service than I asked lhe111. But a special thanks to Bruce and Irene Hunt, Wanda Gardner and Cathy Sue Williams in the office in Kirksville, and the same to Royce Curlis and his Secretary. We appreciate the cooperation of all of the Officers of the General Grand Chapter and the Grand Encampment, as well as several other Masonic Bodies. We have worked well for the good Masonry, and we appreciate your assistance. While I could write several pages of appreciation, giving several hundred names, I can only say, simply, but with feeling, Murie and I thank the several hundred Ladies an,d Companions for their gracious hospitality, warm friendship, many gifts and the courtesies afforded us. And we must say that our Italian friends gave us the red carpet treatment like we have never received before. Just to mention a few of our experiences, and in no particular order: Niagara Falls and two ladies showing us around N. Y.; Fall sightseeing in Maine and N.H.; snow and fog trying to get to Crater Lake (never did get there); 19 degree weather in Florida; meetings and sights of Hawaii with the Hofers and the Becks; Cabbage Patch Kids in GA; being escorted around several cities in Italy, and learning to speak through a translator; talking Masonry in the ho:nes of Bruce and Irene Hunt as well as Jim and Reba Kirkbride; reliving old time Masonry 38 PROCEEDINGS OF THE with Arthur Hunt in Maine; and then trying to get out of Logan airport in a rental car-without a wreck. Lastly, being introduced as the speaker at a banquet, with no prior warning. And thanks to the Oklahomans who have supported us, put up with our missing many meetings in Oklahoma and still contributing much financially to this Trien­ nial Session. The Chairman usually gets the credit, and the gripes also. So, to Marvin and Betsy Gerhard and all their assistants, we fully appreciate your many hours of labor to make this Triennial Session a pleasure. Yes, thanks to many, many people. We do, and forever will appreciate your friendship which made our travels and labors enjoyable. Murie made every trip with me except two Conferences, so my love and thanks to her for support and assistance-the best apron case carrier in the world.

CONCLUSION At various titnes during the Triennium I have made suggestions and recom­ mendations to the elective General Grand Officers, for their consideration in the future. Therefore I make no recommendations to them or to this international body. Nine, and even the last three, years have sped swiftly past and each was en­ joyable, including a few problems we attempted to solve. It has been a privilege to have had a part in the increasing and improving image of Cryptic Masonry. Our thanks to all Cryptic Masons for allowing us the opportunity to serve this august body of Masons. Zealously and Respectfully Submitted, Bernard F. Mandlebaum General Grand Master

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Metnbers of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International: COMPANIONS: I herewith submit my report for the thirty-sixth Triennial. It was my pleasure to represent the General Grand Master and the General Grand Council at 21 state visits over the past three years. Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for the many companions in the states that I visited. The con1panionship and fellowship is outstanding. It was also a pleasure to attend 8 regional conferences, as well as other functions concerning General Grand Council. The regional con­ ferences can be so useful to the companions everywhere, if they will take what they have learned, back to their own jurisdictions. I close this brief report by acknowledging the fact that I was kept well in­ formed of everything concerning General Grand Council, by Most Pussiant Com­ panion, Bernard F. Mandlebaum. I will not go into detail as they will be reported by the General Grand Master in his report. My utmost thanks go to Ben for the close relationship we have had for so many years. My thanks also to "Mr. Cryp­ tic Masonry" Bruce H. Hunt our Grand Recorder, for his advice and counsel over the years. Fraternally Submitted, JAMES A.

REPORT OF THE GENERAL GRAND PRINCIPAL CONDUCTOR OF THE WORK

To the General Grand Council r~f C1yptic Masons !nte111ational Con1panions: I hereby submit my rep01t as General Grand Principal Conducter of the Work for the 1984-1987 Triennium. I have attended seven Regional Conterences, nine annual state assemblies, plus three in my hon1e state, and two international York Rite Conferences. I also visited the Indiana Medical School, Summer Assembly at Waynesville, North Carolina, Greater Atlanta York Rite Festival, Grand Encan1pn1ent at Cincinnati, Ohio, and other Masonic Bodies. On every occasion I was made to feel welcome and was extended all the courtesies due the office of General Grand Principal Conductor of the Work. "Thank you" my Companions for your kindness. These visits were from Maine to California, covering around 43,000 miles. They gave me the opportunity to become familiar with the activities of other jurisdictions that form the General Grand Council. All of these visitations have n1ade inc 1nore aware and knowledgeable as to our needs, problen1s and oppor­ tunities. Enthusiasn1 is evident in our Grand Councils. Our General Grand Council is n1aking progress in its progra1ns. "So inay it ever be." Sincerely and fraternally, EVAN FLEMING, JR. General Grand Principal Conductor of the Work

REPORT OF GENERAL GRAND CHAPLAIN R. P. Companion Seymour B. Ingerson gave a verbal report in which he stated that he had represented the General Grand Master at the Grand Council of New York and had conducted several religious services at different places. He further stated that he had been quite busy with the preparation of the services we had attended while in Florida.

REPORT OF GENERAL GRAND STEW ARD To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Me1nbers of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International: My tenure as General Grand Steward has been brief, however it has been very rewarding. On January 20th, 1986 the General Grand Council and Masons in Tennessee lost a valued member of our fraternity when Most Illustrious GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 43

Companion Ralph Rigdon Tonkin passed away. Ralph was one who always gave of himself totally and unselfishly in all his masonic endeavors. Ralph was very proud of his appointment as General Grand Steward and he served this organization very effectively during the period prior to his untimely passing. He is surely missed by all of us who knew him. I have endeavored to fulfill the duties of this office by representing Cryptic Masonry at a number of n1asonic functions. An1ong those I have attended are the General Grand Officers York Rite class in Atlanta, the 1986 and 1987 Southeast York Rite conferences in Dothan and Williamsburg and represented the General Grand Master at the Grand Council of Tennessee this year. I will always remember this privilege to serve General Grand Council and appreciate the opportunity to do so. Fraternally submitted, C. DOUG THOMAS, JR. General Grand Steward

REPORT OF GENERAL GRAND SENTINEL To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Members of the General Grand Council C1)ptic Masons International rneeting at Orlando, Florida, Septe1nber 21st, 1987 in their Triennial Asse1nbly: Companions: I hereby submit my report of my activities and travels during the 1984-87 Triennium. It was my pleasure to make official visitations to the Grand Council's of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Western Canada and Utah. It was a privilege to be asked to speak at the Grand Banquets of Western Canada and Utah. I also traveled to the Grand Council of California twice and to the Grand Council of Maine once, at each of the Grand Councils I was received with all the courisies of my office. Each officer and Companion extended to me a warm and friendly welcome, great fellowship was felt in all my visits. My hope is all received encouragements, it is my desire that the Cryptic Rite grow and prosper in all our Grand Jurisdictions. I pledge myself to that end. I also made 3 regional conferences, I visited the National Meetings of the Convent General KYCH, Red Cross of Constantine and the Allied Masonic Degrees and was received by each of them. I thank Most Puissant Bernard F. (Ben) Mandlebaum for the appointment as General Grand Sentinel fdr the years 1984-87, it has been one of the most rewarding times in my Mafonic life. Ben & Murie made Shirley and I most welcomed at each and every occasion that we were together.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Considerable discussion followed a short statement by M. I. Companion John R. Stracener in which he contended that the amendment to Article!, Section 12. ANNUAL DUES, was illegal because Grand Councils were already paying 25c per member per capita. Other discussion based on a belief that while the per capita was fixed at 25c in New Orleans, three years ago, that it had not taken the form of an amendment to the Constitution, but was only adopted as a part of the Finance Committee Report. Therefore, it was considered necessary to make a formal amendment to the constitution and fix the per capita at 25c. Other discussion con­ tended that it was not merely a "housekeeping amendment." There followed a motion to change the 25c in Article I, Section 12, to 35c. On a standing vote, this amendment was adopted.

FIRST REPORT OF THE CRYPTIC JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Co1npanions of General Grand Council: Your Conunittee on Cl)ptic Jurisprudence has carefully considered the pro­ posed an1end1nents to the Constitution. We here report that the proposed a1nendrnents were properly filed with the General Grand Recorder who has n1ailed copies according to Subsection (c) of Section 1 of Article VI of the General Grand Council Constitution. We find that the proposed an1end1nents are in proper Jann for submission to this Triennial Asse1nbly. Each of these proposed An1endn1ents shall be voted upon by the constituent Grand Councils each hl1ving three votes, pursuant to Article VI, Section I of the Constitution. Adopted.

SECOND REPORT OF THE CRYPTIC JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Con1panions of the General Grand Council: Your Committee on Jurisprudence to who1n was referred the Address of the Most Puissant General Grand Master, reports as follows: We find this action regarding the granting of a dispensation to Costa Rica Council U,D. to be within the power of his office, and further comment on same is the province of the Committee on Charters. We rejoice that Cryptic Masonry is spreading across the face of the globe. The interi1n appointments granted are within the prerogative of the General Grand Master. All of the Official Acts and Decisions, numbers l through 5 inclusive, are approved. The General Grand Master is to be commended for using common sense. Decision No. 5 underlines the fact that the Constitution and proceedings of General Grand Council should be studied prior to submitting a request for an opinion from the General Grand Master. We strongly support the recommendation of the General Grand Master that the section on Awards be printed in the proceedings. During the triennium the General Grand Master asked for one opinion from this committee. May the Mordhorst Medal be presented prior to the due date? It was the opinion of the chairman that the medal could not be awarded prior to the due date. Due to circumstances, this opinion was waived. The action of the General Grand Master to relocate, reestablish, and incor­ porate a new foundation domiciled in the state of Oklahoma is approved. No one can appreciate fully the time and energy expended by the General Grand Master in accomplishing this without any loss in the status of the Foundation. He deserves our highest commendation. Our grateful thanks are also extended to those dedicated Co1npanions who assisted him. We would be remiss if we did not record the loss and our sorrow in the pass­ ing of two 1nembers of this Committee, Most Puissant Companions Owen Louis Shanteau, original chairman, and James Dewey Penley Jr., Past General Grand Masters. Their counsel and companionship are sorely missed. The General Grand Master and his corps of officers have proved themselves to be devoted Cryptic Masons by their untiring efforts in the promotion of the Rite by their zealous endeavors during the past triennium. We have been well served. Adopted. Respectfully submitted, John Harris Watts, Chairman Joseph C. Bryan, III Joseph S. Lewis Robert E. Heffner Jay R. Newman 46 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Hearing none, he requested Companions Dietscher and Hollaway to come to the East so that they might be presented to the Companions present, which was accordingly done. It was announced that the credentials committee had issued a total of 297 ballots and the General Grand Master directed the Companions to cast their votes for the candidate of their choice.

REPORT OF THE NORTHEAST REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International Companions: It has been my pleasure to have been able to serve as the Northeastern Regional Deputy for this Triennium. I thank the Most Puissant General Grand Master for the confidence reposed and trust that I have represented the General Grand Council in a satisfactory manner. During the Trienniu1n, I was privileged to visit the Grand Assen1blies of the Grand Councils of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey (twice), Delaware (thrice), and the District of Columbia. I did not have the opportunity nor the assignment to attend the Grand Assemblies of the the Grand Councils of New York and Maryland. On all occasions, I was hospitably received and afforded every respect and honor. At each of the Grand Assemblies at which I was the Official Representative, I endeavored to pro1note the progran1s of the General Grand Council, n1ost especially the effort on Medical Research. I also assisted in the presentation of the various General Grand Council Awards, either at the Grand Assembly itself or at the accompanying Banquet. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed each visit, with the opportunity to 1neet new co1npanions and renew fonner relationships. During_ the Trienniu1n, Council sessions were conducted at the three North­ eastern Regional Conferences. The 1984 and 1985 Conferences were held in Newark, New Jersey, under the aegis of the Grand Encampment and the General Grand Chapter respectively. The 1986 Conference was held in Wilmington, Delaware under \he responsibility of the General Grand Council Regional Deputy. The Northeastern Grand Councils were represented at each Conference as was the Non-member Grand Council of Connecticut. While the representation was limited in numbers, there appeared to be a high level of interest and par­ ticipation by the attendees at the individual Council sessions. At these sessions, the programs, plans, and problems of the General Grand Council were presented. In addition, the general topics of Leadership Development and Problem Solving were presented in various forms. Also, each Grand Council representative was afforded the opportunity to discuss specific problems and solutions from their respective jurisdictions. 50 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

It is apparent fro1n n1y observations at these Conference sessions as well as at the various Grand Assemblies, that the problems affecting Cryptic Masonry are those which are affecting Freemasonry as a whole, viz: reduction in member­ ship; lack of attendance; inadequately prepared leadership, especially at the local level; and din1inished financial resources. Various programs have been and are being undertaken by the member Grand Councils to ameliorate the effects of these proble1ns. At present, it is only through the Conference sessions that such infor- 1nation is being shared a1nong jurisdictions. It is n1y opinion that one of the n1ost i1nportant functions the General Grand Council can provide in the ensuing years will be to collect and dissen1inate such infonnation on a 1nore fonnal basis. Intercommunication a1nong Grand Councils does not always appear to be effective and with continuing leadership changes at the Grand Council level from year to year, a more organized communication channel is needed. Naturally, the cooperation of the member Grand Councils is vital to the proper functioning of such an endeavor. Fraternally submitted, HENRY G. LAW Regional Deputy General Grand Master Northeast Region

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER SOUTHEAST REGION '[o rhe General Grand Council of Cr)'lJtic Masons International Co1npanions: It has been my pleasure and honor to represent the General Grand Master and the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masonry this triennial. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Most Puissant Ben for the appoint1nent. We in the Southeast show true unity in purpose to the rest of the Nation and the cooperation with R.E. J. Benny Allen, General Grand Chapter and James Ward & Edward Saunders, S.E. Department Commanders, prove this point. My Co1npanions, it has been great working with each of you. Our York Rite Conferences have been well attended. Progran1s and partici­ pation were above average. Participation is the KEY to successful conference. 1'hc exchange if ideas, even complaints, further the work in our fraternity. On each visitation, either by assignment or invitation, I was received with fraternal warmth and southern hospitality. The courtesies extended to me and my wife Marian were truly appreciated and will be long ren1e1nbered. It is my intent to continue with the visitations that I n1ay learn 1nore of Free1nasonry, It was n1y honor on many occasions to present the General Grand Council awards to deserving Companions, along with the membership card and lapel pin to the out- GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 51 going Illustrious Grand Master. A special privilege was to serve as personal representative at the Grand York Rite Bodies of Germany and Maryland; also, to United Grand Imperial Council, Red Cross of Constantine. It is my feeling that a special thanks should go to the Ambassadors. They were very cooperative in each of the States. However, a little guidance and n1ore recognition would give the1n rnore visibility. Again Ben, thank you for this n1ost wonderful appointn1cnt and our best wishes to you and Murlc for the future years. Respectfully submitted, HAYDEN M. CARMICHAEL. RDGGM Southeast Region

REPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER FOR THE EAST CENTRAL REGION To the General Grand Council of C1)'ptic Masons, International Companions: It has been written that "many are called but few are chosen." The East Central Region has been and still is blessed with many of the chosen - Donald H. Smith, M.E. Grand Master of the Grand Encampment K.T. U.S.A. from Ken­ tucky, the late Marvin Isley, General Grand King of the General Grand Chapter, from Indiana, Charles K.A. MeGaughey, General Grand Secretary of the General Grand Chapter, from Kentucky, Royce Curlis, General Grand Treasurer, General Grand Council Cryptic Masons International, fro1n Michigan, devoted, dedicated, Masonic Leaders from a region with only three Grand Councils that belong to General Grand. Indeed we are blessed. The region has been very active since our last Triennial. Although Michigan and Indiana have shown slight losses. Kentucky last year again had a net gain. It was n1y pleasure to visit all the annual asse1nblies in our region with the exception of one in Indiana, which was during my can1paign for office in the . Happily I was elected Grand Marshal in 1986. I was pleased to have all our Grand Councils in attendance at all three Regional conferences. The Grand Council of Ohio even though they do not belong to General Grand has been in attendance all three years. I had hoped Ontario would make our last conference, but due to conflicting dates they were unable to attend. Because of a mix up at the Motel in Lansing, the East Central conference was able to donate $700.00 to charities of General Grand bodies and we were pleased to be able to do that. It really has been a joy and pleasure to serve this august body for the past three years and I thank you Most Puissant Sir for the appointment.

REPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER NORTH CENTRAL REGION To the Most Puissant (;eneral Grand Master, CJfficers and Men1bers o,fthe General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons-International: Con1panions: I herewith sub1nit 1ny report as Regional Deputy General Grand Master for the North Central Region for the 1984- 1987 Trienniun1. The region consists of seven states and I have been able to 1nake all of 1ny assigned visitations plus others as tilne pennitted: Illinois (2), Iowa (3), Min­ nesota (3), Nebraska (2), North Dakota (2), and Wisconsin (2). I was not able to visit the Grand Assen1bly of South Dakota, and I was not assigned there, as other General Grand Officers represented General Grand Council. There is usually a conflict of dates between the Regional Conference and the Grand Assembly of South Dakota, and I do hope to attend their Grand Assembly immediately following this Triennial Session. On all visitations, 1ny wife and I were accorded the finest hospitality and courtesies. Regional Conferences arc well attended and participation is excellent. These have been held at Lacrosse, Wisconsin, Marshalltown, Iowa and at Mankato, Minnesota. It is 1ny feeling that these conferences are an ideal 1neeting ground for all 1nc1nbers interested and active in York Rite Masonry and also provide an inforn1a\ setting for beco1ning better acquainted socially and a place where inutual concerns can be addressed. This is where our new ideas and prograrns arc exa1nined and pro1noted. It has been a pleasure to work with Regional Depu­ ty General Grand High Priest To1n Corathers and Departn1ent Co1111nander Willian1 Jackson Jones in coordinating these conferences. In this Region, a highlight of the Cryptic Year is the Tri State Council Festival, alternately sponsored by the Grand Councils of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, at central locations. Degree work is alternated also, and is of the highest caliber, as inight be expected. Attendance usually is in the range of 100-150 n1en1bers, plus their ladies and a joint dinner concludes the day. This festival has been in operation over 20 years and is enjoyed by all who participate. Membership in the North Central Region Councils varies widely, but all Grand Councils actively pro;notc the Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation and contribute funds to the best of their ability. Reports from Marion Crum, Executive Secretary, are greatly appreciated. My thanks to Most Puissant Companion Ben Mandlebaum for appointing me to this position. It has been an honor and a privilege for n1e to represent the General Grand Council 1nany tin1es in this region alid to present awards as requested. I have been received at all ti1nes with the ut1nost respect for this office, and it has been a n1ost rewarding experience. Respectfully submitted, HANS A. HANSEN.

REPORT OF REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER, SOUTHWEST REGION To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Men1bers ofthe General Grand Council Cryptic Masons /111ernatio11a/: Co1npanions: I hereby submit the following report as Regional Deputy General Grand Master for the Southwest Region during the 1984-87 Treinnium. This region consists of six states; Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. While I was able to visit Hawaii only once during this Tricn­ niun1, it was n1y privilege to attend and represent the General Grand Council at least two or three ti1ncs each in the other five states. My lady, Dorothy, and I were always wannly received and we have 1nade n1any new friends in each of these states. As Regional Deputy I was, without exception, greeted and received all the Grand Honors whenever appointed to represent the General Grand Master. The Regional Conferences were well attended with two being held in Ontario, California and one in Phoenix, Arizona. I an1 convinced these conferences are well worth the time and effort expended. Many ideas are expressed and the Com­ panions have a chance to ask questions and get answers fro1n the General Grand Officers. Also, it gives the Grand Officers frorn the six states an opportunity to get to know one another and understand problems beside their own. I have had a most harn1onious relationship working with n1y counterparts, Fred Scurlock and Ralph Emerson of the Grand Encampment, and Murray Cooke of the General Grand Chapter. I had the privilege of presenting the Grand Master's Lapel Pin and Card five times. Also, I was allowed to present the Cryptic Mason of the Year Award and the Youth Award on several occasions. These a\vards were always well received and much prized by the recipients. It was also my privilege to take part in the installations of three of the Grand Council in the Southwest Region. The A1nbassadors in each were of great help to n1c with regard to local 1nattcrs and I wish tu thank each of them for their loyal support of the General Grand Council. The past three years have been son1e of the n1ost rewarding ti1nes I have spent in my Masonic Life. I could not have asked for better people to work with and for. It has indeed been an honor and privilege to serve the General Grand Council and I will forever be indebted to Most Puissant General Grand Master Bernard F. Mandlebaum for appointing me as a General Grand Officer for this Trienniun1. Fraternally Submitted, PHILLIP F. HOFER, RDGGM Soutlnvest Region 54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

REPORT OF THE REGIONAL DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER FOR THE NORTHWEST REGION To the Most Puissant General Grand Master, Officers and Me111bers of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International: Co1npanions: This 1984-1987 Triennium has been filled with opportunities and many challenges for the workers in the Cryptic Rite of Freemasonry. The Regional Conferences continued to be an excellent forum for contact with Officers and Con1panions of the Northwest Regional Jurisdictions; these 1neetings allow the exchange of ideas, to ask questions on how things are done in other areas and provide time for inforn1ational se1ninars which help the Companions attending. The discussions at the Northwest Conferences were always on the positive ap­ proach to the problems, with emphasis on membership, public image of Masonry, programs and leadership training. Our Northwest Region conferences have included Workshops on Friday nights where the subjects have been: leadership training, membership promotion, Lodge Finances and Lodge pern1anent fund investrnents. The No1thwest Region includes the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Mon­ tana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and the Western Canada, (This Grand Coun­ cil covers the four Provinces which are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.) We had representatives from all jurisdictions at the 1986 con­ ference which included Alaska and British Columbia members and this deserves special recognition. The conferences were all held in Boise, Idaho, as this location is centrally located for the Northeast Region. Still the officers located near the edge of the area have to travel from 600 to 950 miles to attend. (Except for Alaska and Western Canada where additional miles are necessary.) Starting with 1986 the format of the conference was restricted to Saturday Only, as travel tiine takes most Com­ panions one day to travel each way. The Joint Summary is now held Saturday afternoon at the close of the separate sessions. Total attendence by years with the Council attendence in Parenthesis: 1984 77 (26), 1985 83 (28), and 1986 94 (29). These figures show some growth in attendcnce and this last year the mailing list included all line officers. These Com­ panions make up the support and the workers that are necessary for Masonry to continue and we can be proud of their efforts to promote masonry, hopefully they will return to their jurisdictions with renewed effort that will help others to carry our principles into the future. We need for Masonry to grow and con­ tinue to function in all areas. All Jurisdictions continue to lose membership by Deaths and Non-Payment of Dues. The only positive thing that can be said is that the rate has slowed in some areas. My greatest pleasure gained from serving the craft is the establishing of new friendships with Companions in the Northwest region. It has been my pleasure GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 55 to have attended each jurisdiction 1ncctings at least once and after 111y retirc1ncnt last year I was able to attend several for a second time, I had the honor of repre­ senting the General Grand Master in eve1y state except Alaska where I was pleased to serve as part of the Staff with James Kirkbride, Deputy General Grand Master. My wife, Virginia, was able to 111akc 1nost of the visits with 1ne and vie were received with all courtesies and wann hospitality on every occasion. The cooperation between the York Rite groups in this area is outstanding and my thanks goes to Most Excellent Companion David S. Tanner, General Grand Sentinel and Regional Deputy General Grand High Priest for the Northwest Region and to Right Eminent Sir Knight, Lawrence A. Blanchard, Northwest Depart- 1nent Co1111nander for the true spirit of cooperation they exhibited in every endeavor. It was n1y sincere honor to assist in the Presentation of the Cryptic Mason of the Year Award, The Adult Leadership Award for service with the Youth Groups and then the presentation of the Past Grand Master Lapel buttons and the Pern1anent Life 1nembcrship card in the General Grand Council, n1any tin1es during this term. The Companions selected and honored certainly deserved the recognition. The General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons should be commended for these excellent honors that add prestige to our organization. My appreciation goes to the Co111panions who served as An1bassadors in each jurisdiction. All of them are sincere workers for the Cryptic Rite and their efforts arc very helpful to the craft. My thanks is expressed to Ben F. Mandlebaum, General Grand Master, for allowing me to serve in the Position of Region Deputy and his support. He was able to make 1nany visits into the Northwest Region during his tcrn1. This assignment has been the outstanding honor and challenge of 1ny 1nasonic life and has been a very rewarding experience. Fraternally submitted, CLINTON C.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY GENERAL GRAND MASTER ' FOR CENTRAL AMERICA To the General Grand Council of' Cryptic Masons International Co1npanions: The constitution of new Councils, particularly in Latin Ainerica, depends on the development of the York Rite in general, and Chapters in particular. In Central A1nerica the York Rite was unknown until a few years ago, and it has been an easy task. It may take years before we are successful. The Chapter in Bogota fell apart because of the constitution of a new Grand Lodge, in which various Royal Arch Masons became 1nembers. The Chapter beca1ne alrnost non- 56 PROCEEDINGS OF THE existent, for the lack of regular 1nen1bers. Consequently, no Council could be forn1cd there. We were 1norc successful in Costa Rica, where we started work eight years ago. The Chapter has been there for approximately thirty-five years. In February 1986 we held a Central American York Rite Festival with some 30 candidates fron1 El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. A nevv Council was instituted in Costa Rica in October 1986, and we traveled to San Jose, presented the dispensation and set the Council to work, and conferred the degrees on twelve candidates. In Bucaran1anga, Colu1nbis, a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons was instituted, and a few n1onths later a petition was filed for a new Council there. Not always is there such a fast follow-up. The future progress of Councils in South America depends entirely upon the penetration of the York Rite in Latin A1nerica. In the 1neantiinc we have finished the translation of the ritual into Spanish, which we are now using. The old Spanish ritual docs not give n1erit to the beauty of the Council degrees. As long as it was in use in only one or two countries it didn't matter, but with the expansion in the last few years it becan1c a 1nust. Co1npanion Dr. Eugenio Escalcr sacrificed a good bit of his titne to translate the ritual into a beautiful prozaic high class Spanish, and to hin1 we express our thanks. Companion John Loayza is highly experienced in the field of York Rite, and his is regularly traveling through the countries in Latin A1nerica. John has done a n1arvclousjob for York Rite in Chile, Colu111bia, Bolivia, Ecaudor, Peru, and Uruguay. A nu1nber of Masons were infonncd by me of his arrival. He explained and lectured on the York Rite. Thus the seed of York Rite was carefully sown, and we thank John for his great work and efforts. All of this was possible because of our belief in our n1ission, and the confidence and support of the General Grand Officers. This report is written this 22nd day of May 1987, in the City of Guatemala, C.A. Fraternally subn1itted, DR. JOHAN M. V ANBEUSEKOM

Much discussion followed this amend­ ment to the amendment which eventually was defeated and the original amend­ ment of 35c was adopted overwhelmingly.

GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL AW ARDS The General Grand Master called attention to that section of his address en­ titled "General Grand Council Awards." He stated that under "Cryptic Mason of the Year Medal and Lapel Pin," Paragraph "e". The award shall be made only for exceptional and meritorious service to Cryptic Masonry above and beyond the call of duty. No Past or Present Grand Master or any advancing line officer of a Grand Council shall be eligible for this award.'' He stated that there had been objection to the last sentence above where it applied to the Adult Leader­ ship Award. After discussion, it was voted to delete the last sentence so that it would not apply to the Adult Leadership Medal, but would apply to the Cryptic Mason of the Year Award. It was also voted by the General Grand Council to include this section of the General Grand Master's Address immediately following the Con­ stitution in the back of the Proceedings. The General Grand Recorder was in­ structed to include these rules with the limitations of paragraph "e" above.

CRYPTIC INSIGNIA The General Grand Master stated that he had incorporated in his address an outline for an insignia of Cryptic Masonry. It consisted of a square, a circle, a broken triangle, a sword, and a trowel. These emblems are only outlines in gold with a background of purple enamel. Each person who registered for this Triennial received a lapel pin of this insignia. He stated that through the years many questions had been asked about an official emblem of General Grand Coun­ cil. He stated that this emblem had been prepared for the consideration of this body. 62 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

R. P. Companion Neal D. Leech moved that the emblem as described by the General Grand Master and distributed to the membership present be adopted as the emblem of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International. The motion was duly seconded and passed unanimously.

FIRST REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE To the General Grand Council, Cryptic Masons International Companions: Your Committee on Finance and Accounts have examined the reports of the General Grand Treasurer, the General Grand Recorder and the Examination of Larry D. Gardner, Accountant, dated September 8, 1987. We have found these reports to be in good order, true and accurate, and of reflect the true financial condition of the General Grand Council. The entire Cryptic \=raft is indebted to our General Grand Treasurer, Com­ panion Royce E. Curlis, and our General Grand Recorder Companion Bruce H. Hunt, for the fine service in their respective offices. We are fortunate to have these two Companions working for the Cryptic Craft. Zealously submitted, For the Committee, Earl W. Hoage, Chairman GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 63

SECOND REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE M. I. Companion Earl W. Hoage, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that the second report of his committee would be directed as the adoption of a budget for the coming triennium. He explained in detail the differences between the proposed budget and the one under which we had operated the past three years. In essence, it was the addition of the lOC increase in per capita which would be divided into three parts of SC for office equipment, 3C for maintenance of the Cryptic Room, and 2C for the promotion of youth programs. All of the budget was based on a reduced membership total for the coming triennium. Companion Hoage presented the following budget and moved its adoption. There was an invitation for discussion on the budget but none was forthcoming, and the budget was adopted as presented. The following is the budget:

ITALIAN FREEMASONRY General Grand Master Mandlebaum invited Ill. Companion Joseph Peloso, a Past Grand High Priest of New Jersey and the Associate Grand Secretary of the , to read a report of Italian Freemasonry prepared by M. I. Companion Archimede Caruso, Past Grand Master of Italy. The paper was read as follows: Most Illustrious and Puissant International General Grand Master, Companion Bernard Mandlebaum, Most Illustrious and Puissant Companion James Kirkbride, Most Illustrious Grand Master, Illustrious and Dear Companion and Brothers here present, I want to wish you and your families good health, peace and serenity. Some of us met three years ago in New Orleans during the Grand Assembly when I represented the Italian Cryptic Masons. At that time, I delivered a report (kindly read by the Illustrious Companion Joseph Peloso). In that report I objec­ tively explained the position of Italian Masonry in general and of Cryptic Masonry in particular. For those who were not present, and for those who may not remember, I refer you to the report on page 55 of the minutes concerning Assembly. I retained the Mallet as Gran Master of the Grand Council of Italian Cryptic Mason from October 1983 to May 1987, and in the triennium ending today I was also a member of the International Affairs Committee for this General Grand Council. Today, once again, I am honored and pleased to be with you together with the delegates of the Illustrious Italina Companions led by the newly elected Most Illustrious Gand Master, the dearest Companion Alessandro Martinis Marchi, who benevolently, as usual, allowed me to continue the conversation which com­ menced in New Orleans, and to bring to you the regards of the Italian Cryptic 70 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Masons, and, most importantly, the greetings of the Grand Master of the Grand Orient (Lodge) of Italy, the Most Venerable Brother Armando Corona, together with all Italian Masons. It is very easy for me to continue the conversation we started in New Orleans. Indeed those who really know the Italian position, or who, like the Most Illustrious Companion Bernard Mandlebaum and the Most Excellent High Priest Compa­ nion Walter Winchester, who have been recently in Italy, know: - that the is definitively out of the "P 2 cyclone"; - that a relationship of absolute cordiality and honesty has been established between the Grand Orient of Italy, the President of the Italian Republic, and all Civilian and Ecclesiastical Authorities; - that the number of Brithers is continously increasing and most of them are young, intelligent university graduates; - that our work in the Lodges are based on the initiatory world and is esoteric in its ritual acticulation; - that there is a continous exchange of visits with other Lodges and Communions with which we have a friendly relationship; that the Italian Family enjoys great serenity which is totally identified in its own Constitution; that it is working for the Glory of the Grand Architect of the Universe and for the goodness of humanity; - that its members believe in the Supreme Being, practice tolerance, justice and fraternal love; - that the Italian Communion has an excellent relationship with the United Grand Lodge of England, with all European Grand Lodges, with most of American Grand Lodges, with all Grand Lodges in Africa and Asia, and also in Australia. Of course, all that I have said is obvious to me and to those who know the Italian position, but I think it is my duty to emphasize it since misinformation can sometimes cause damage and misunderstandings, and may provoke a lack of acknowledgement. Fortunately these events are more and more rare, and these occurrences can happen anywhere in the world. We have been hopoured by the visit of the Most Illustrious General Grand Master Companion Bernard Mandlebaum, and he reassured us with his wisdom during the last Grand Assemblies of our Ritual Bodues; he was also the guest of honor in Rome, in the historical Villa Medici de! Vascello, connected with Garibaldi's epos and with struggles for Italian indipendence, and which is the residence of the Grand Orient of Italy. Therefore the Most Illustrious Companion Mandlebaum has been in touch with the Most Venerable Grand Master Armando Corona and his staff, and he can relate to you all that he saw and heard. I want to take this occasion to invite the Most Illustrious Companion Kirkbride to be our honored guest during our Annual Grand Assemblies to know us better. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 71

And I would also like to say to all of you lllustrious Companions and Brothers. That if something is not clear to you, or if you have any questions ask the Italian Masons of York's Rite, or the Grand Orient of Italy directly. All your doubts will be clarified with an exhaustive answer. Petty events are often magnified by the enormous distance, and sometimes reality is greatly deformed. I'm a convinced defender - and in this direction I have centered all my masonic enthusiasm - that the concord, the loyal exchange of news, the request of news directly from the sources when these are missing or incomplete, is the only avenue to follow to reach a true and fraternal unity. It is the duty of all Masons to make an effort to understand all our Brothers of diverse language, tradition, history and political and cultural reality all around the world. This is the cause we must plead, as this is the way of leading to the sincere unity of all Masons, to the solidarity among all peoples and to the much longed for universal peace. For this reason I briefly mentioned the position of Italian Masonry, meaning the Brothers living in Italy, Brothers of only one Family, in a Universal Masonry who want to honour and to be honoured, to love and to be loved by all Brothers around the world. In this way we all will be persuaded to contribute concretely to work for a real concord among the Masons, and even if we are divided by enormous distances and by oceans, we will feel closer and more Brotherly. All this for the goodness of humanity and to the Glory of Grand Architect of Universe. Sincerely and fraternally, Archimede Caruso

M.P. Companion Mandlebaum requested M. P. Companion Bruce H. Hunt to present Ill. Companion Joseph Peloso, who just finished reading the Italian Paper. Companion Hunt said he was pleased to present his friend of many years, 111. Companion Joseph Peloso, who was as fluent in Italian as he is in English. He stated that Companion Peloso was a Past Grand High Priest of New Jersey, a Junior Officer in the Grand Council of New York, a Past Sovereign of his Red Cross of Constantine, and the Associate Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STATE OF THE RITE To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International Companions: There are several directions in which the "Report of the Committee on the State of the Right can take. 72 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

Therefore let us take the next several minutes of these deliberations and ex­ plore several of these options. First: Let us briefly discuss dedication. Following this path we find a number of dedicated individuals who freely give of themselves, their time, and their talent to promote the Cryptic Rite and its philanthropic endeavors. One special group of these companions, but not limited to them alone, are the Past Grand Masters of the several jurisdictions who continue to work in "grass roots" Cryptic Masonry to assist local councils and promote the general welfare of the order. Second: Let us explore the direction of leadership. As we travel down this path we find many dedicated individuals who have demonstrated that an organiza­ tion which covers as many diverse areas of our vast nation as well as jurisdic­ tions across both oceans can develop men who are leaders and able to explore the whole picture and put together programs for the best interest of the entire craft. In rnany instances within a single jurisdiction we have a division of opi­ nion, and that is healthy. But the responsibility of the officers of this General Grand Council covers a far more vast area and the ability to bring together men from many areas of the General Grand Council to work together with a single purpose is a real mark of achievement. Third: For many years we have set our criterion for office based upon ritualistic ability. Over the years we have lost many potential leaders because of our ritualistic requirement. An alternative progran1 would be to elect a corps of officers to rule and govern the council and appoint a corps of officers to serve as a ceremonial team to confer the work of the order. In this manner we would be able to draw from the best ability of our companions who work in the area of what they do best. This would also enable us to increase the number of active participants within the order. We would also lessen the burden upon one individual by spreading the load. Fourth: Let us explore a direction which is most important to our future, and which over the years has received much attention in our writings, and con­ versation. That is the direction of YORK RITE UNITY. Now first of all we recognize that there is a separate committee which has spent many hours work independently. But as this report relates to certain aspects of this subject we do hope that our learned c9lleagues from that committee are not offended by this slight invasion. May we quote from a resolution which was presented at the Grand Com­ mandcry of Illinois in 1986, which in part reads, "therefore be it resolved that the integral roll of Cryptic Masons and the York Rite Strucrure of Illinois Masonry be fully recognized by requiring Council memberships of all new candidates in the Orders of the Commandery.'' The first person to respond when discussion was opened was the proposer who recommended its adoption. The second person discussed a Shrine/York Rite Day and stated "that will make it a very long day to put on all of the degrees and orders in the three bodies GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 73 of the York Rite and Shrine Degrees." The third person, a Past Grand Commander made the following comment; "I think the proposal has good foundation on the part of the Sir Knight who presented it. However, there are certain circumstances in Illinois that I think the Sir Knights should be familiar with. One is, that in the past the Grand Council has always had the honor and considered it a privilege that they were an organiza­ tion that you joined because of your desire to become a member and not because it was required. I know that Grand Council Officers, in the past, have always felt that it was not necessary to have the Council as a mandatory requirement for the Commandery. One of the biggest problems, Sir Knights, is in the State of Illinois, we have many areas where we don't have a Council, where we have Chapters and . If this is adopted, you are going to really hurt the Commandery in these communities, because they will not be able to initiate a candidate because there is no Council available, and I can name a lot of areas this is true, and I would like to - I am not proud of it, but the fact that Joliet Commandery is one of the tenth largest Commandries in the State, and we no longer can put on the Council work. If we adopt this resolution, our Comman­ dery will be unable to initiate any candidates and we will have to take him somewhere else. You will really tie our hands as a Commandery to function for new members. Also, when we have a Cold Sands, the Chapter has modified the ritual, and the Commandery has shortened their ritual in which we take a can­ didate from the 3rd Degree through the Chapter, the Commandery and the Shrine in one day. If this is adopted, we will never be able to have these functions in cooperation with the Shrine. So I feel that this should not be adopted, because the Grand Council Officers, I am sure, are not in favor of it.'' My companions of Cryptic Masonry, we talk a good deal regarding coopera­ tion. But there are still many areas in which we are hypocritical. From childhood on the best education which we receive was by example. Little boys follow their fathers and little girls their mothers. Children look to heros on television and political candidates for office try to emulate those of their party who gained historical credit in the history of our nation. Within the confines of Masonry we talk until our jaws grow weak and write until our arms grow weary promoting "York Rite Unity." Is it not time that we stop talking, stop writing, and start setting an example for our successors to emulate? True cooperation like a healthy body can bring many diverse results in membership retention and the bringing of new members into an honestly struc­ tured "YORK RITE OF FREEMASONRY" comprised of Lodge, Chapter, Coun­ cil, and Commandery.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AIMS AND PURPOSES To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International: This committee is pleased to see that the booklet The Good of the Order has been rewritten and over 1500 copies distributed. We understand that over 2500 copies of the revised edition are being prepared for distribution for the next Trien­ nium. This effort is laudatory. Members of this committee have surveyed their individuals Grand Councils and report that The Good of the Order is a valuable tool in telling the General Grand Council's mission. While we are convinced that this booklet is not the answer, we re1nain com1nitted to its usefulness in the dissemination of our aims and purposes. The usefulness of ambassadors in each jurisdiction has helped to further our mission. This committee applauds the efforts of the Cryptic Philanthropy as its suc­ cess spreads the "good news" of the Cryptic aims and purposes. The publication, The Cryptic Freemason is a most effective public relations tool which could have an even greater impact if its distribution could be enlarged. At the 35th Triennial, the Committee on Aims and Purposes called for a public relations or educational program buttressed with appropriate finances. While this committee is knowledgeable concerning ongoing efforts in this area, we feel the need for an International Cryptic Public Relations program and the distribution of educational materials is still needed. A perusal of the eighteen aims and purposes of the General Grand Council as published in The Good of the Order, reveals that we have reason to view with satisfaction our many accomplishments and we also becorne aware that much still remains to be done. This committee concludes that progress has been made during this triennium and is confident that the talent exists in this General Grand Council to see that all of the aims and purposes are accomplished. It has been our pleasure and honor to serve. Stephen J. Ponzillo, Ill, Chairman David S. Bouschor Gilbert G. Cook Alfred L. Lewis Milton M. Routzhan, Sr. Charles L. Taylor Louis J. Wells

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHARTERS AND DISPENSATIONS To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International Companions: In making this report of Charters and Dispensations I must first praise the GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 75 jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. At our Annual Assembly on December 9, 1985, it was unanimously voted to grant a Charter to ''Boston Council of Royal and Select Masters of Santa Dom­ ingo." Also, a year previous, a request was issued to establish a Council at Mar­ tha's Vineyard in the town of Oak Bluffs. It was voted that a Charter would be issued early the following Spring. A Charter was granted to El Salvador Council #1, at San Salvador, C.A.M., on April 29, 1986. A dispensation of the same date was issued to Costa Rica Council, U.D., Costa Rica, C.A. A Charter was prepared and mailed to the Grand Council of Maryland, show­ ing their affiliation with the General Grand Council. Somehow or other they had never received one previously. Considerable correspondence has been going on in regard to fonning a Council in Taipei, Tiawan. A date for this has not yet been set. A request for a Dispensation, which I presume has been mailed, to Compa­ nions in Bacaramanga, Columbia, S.A. This Charter should be voted at this Trien­ nial in Florida. Fraternally and Zealously submitted, Waldo I. Powell, Chairman William F. Perry James Hagen Florin W. Hemminger Carroll M. Fogg George B. Rayburn Ver! A. Stuart

REPORT OF THE EDITOR OF THE CRYPTIC FREEMASON To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International Companions: The Cryptic Freemason is issued four times a year for your own benefit so that you may know of the activities of the General Grand Council, its officers and members. By members I mean you. We want to report the activities in your state; you want also to hear of anything special going on in another state, how well they are doing and how they solve their problems. Every state has some special activities. Its grand officers make visits, do things, and in general start activities. Local councils have been known to stage festivals, dinners, awards and other activities that may give a suggestion for your state. We need to know what's going on. Let me hear from you. Larry Offenbecker, Editor 76 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CRYPTIC ROOM To the General Grand Council of Oyptic Masons International Companions: Your committee on the Cryptic Room reported, at the last triennial, that there was extensive water and humidity damage to the walls, ceiling, and equipment. Since that time this condition has been corrected and the walls have been replastered and repainted. At the present, the Cryptic Room is in the best condi­ tion that it has ever been; however, the expense of these repairs ($11,813.07) must be met during the next Triennium. $3,000.00 has been paid on the above. The old equipment has been replaced with a total new system and a new tape has been updated to eliminate unnecessary dialogue and verbiage. All equipment is operational and working well. The Committee is very fortunate to have Colonel Charles C. Roder USA (Ret) as a member of the committee. He has a background of operation, maintenance, and repair of electronic equipment. As the results of his efforts this favorable report is possible. Respectfully submitted, Clayton L. Vogel, Chairman

REPORT OF 1984-87 EDUCATION COMMITTEE, GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL CRYPTIC MASONS INTERNATIONAL Most Puissant General Grand Master, General Grand Officers, and Companions of General Grand Council: Education is a never ending process. Old members, new members, officers, and non-members, including our ladies, need to know more about Masonry in general and Cryptic Masonry in particular. Each of us need to have more Masonic information. There is much written about Masonry, but not enough easily available infor­ mation, such as brochures or pamphlets, on Cryptic Masonry for general distribution. Our Most Puissant· companion Ben Mandlebaum recognized that we have a need for more educational material, and it was one of his goals to have some informative pamphlets about Cryptic Masonry written which General Grand Coun­ cil could print and distribute. In the beginning of the Triennium, your Committee, utilizing Regional Deputies and the Ambassadors, sought to find out what was available in the various Grand Councils. We collected material as a basis for new writings. We discovered that there was not much material available in our various Grand Councils. Early in the Triennium, we produced some papers of leadership, but we did not get new pamphlets written as Most Puissant Ben desired. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 77

Subjects suggested as suitable for pamphlets or brochures included: (1) The history and purpose of Cryptic Masonry. (2) Explaining the Cryptic Degrees with there to be a pamphlet on each Degree and then one in general. (3) The history and organization of General Grand Council. (4) A manual for Council officers. (5) Cryptic leadership. (6) Cryptic philanthropy. We feel that somewhere there are one or more Companions who are good at research and writing and who have the time and who could help in this project. Volunteers will be appreciated. This Committee is delivering to the new Committee the materials we have collected as a resource and guide. We recommend that each Grand Council and each Council have an Educa­ tion Committee and that each develop an educational program and educational materials. We also feel that talks can be written or outlined which knowledgeable Com­ panions could give in the various Councils which would aid in the education of all of our Companions. By our use of the word "education", we do not refer to ritual instruction, which requires its own special emphasis. We regret that we did not complete our task, but it was a pleasure and honor to serve this General Grand Council. Fraternally submitted, M. C. Lewis, Jr. J. Milton McDonald E.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL DEAD To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons. International: Companions: In these solemn moments of this 36th Triennial Assembly, we wait patiently before the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe and the Lord of all Life to remember our Companions who have gone through the Ninth Arch during this Triennium to be with our God forever. 78 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

These Companions have toiled in the quarries with us to make Cryptic Masonry mean something for them and for their fellow Companions. Some of them had great dreams, and we want to go on following in their foot steps and attempt to fulfill their dreams. We have a great work to carry on. We have been taught that we were born to live and that we were also born to die. In our Cryptic Masonry, we have learned the realistic fact that death is not an enemy, but a door through which we may enter into a greater and fuller life. The early Christian missionary Paul stated: "For we know that if the ear­ thly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.'' (II Car. 5: 1) Death is like a commencement wherein we end life mortal and begin living life immortal. We are a people of faith, and when faith comes into play, we begin to see ourselves as God sees us and as God can make us to be. God takes us as we are, and he can develop in us skills that we scarcely dreamed we had. For God makes our strength adequate to the responsibility, and God tells us it is not by might, or by power, but by his Spirit. The great poet Longfellow wrote: "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again." William Lyon Phelps, the renowned professor of English literature at Yale University, live enthusiastically. During his lifetime, he knew great sorrows and at times felt the black cloud of depression settle upon him. Yet he said, "I live every day as if it were the first day I had ever seen and the last day I would ever see." What a challenge for us. God gives each ofus at best a few years on this earth. They are days in which we should live to the fullest and have the privilege of coming to know God in a personal relationship, so that we may explore what life was intended to be on this earth. We should live it to its highest usefulness and distill from the gift of each day its sweetness and give to the world the best that we have. We salute these our fallen Companions, and offer our deepest sympathy to their loved ones. There were 15, 160 Companions who died during this Triennium. There were two Past Grand Masters: Dr. Owen Louis Shanteau, General Grand Master (1975-1978) Died: October 13, 1985 James Dewey Penley, Jr., General Grand Master (1981-1984) Died: July 30, 1986 GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 79

There were two General Grand Appointive Officers: Charles H. Warner, Sr., General Grand Marshal Died: May 28, 1985 Ralph Rigdon Tonkin, General Grand Steward Died: January 20, 1986 There was one Past Grand Appointive Officer: Wallace Jefferson Knopp, Past General Grand Marshal Died: April 5, 1985 Robert L. Grubb, Ambassador of Goodwill and N. Tracy Walker, Chairman of the State of the Rite Committee died during this Triennium.

Let us pray: Our Eternal Father, unto you we lift our hearts and souls at this time. We thank you for the true Light shining in our world with still increasing brightness. We thank you for all who have walked therein and especially for all those near and dear to us, in whose lives we have seen this excellent glory and beauty. May we know that whether we are in the body or our of the body they are with you, and that when these earthly days come to an end, it is not that our service of you and of one another may cease but that it may begin anew. Make us glad in all who have faithfully lived; make us glad in all who have peacefully died. Lift us into light and love and purity and blessedness and give us at last our portion with those who have trusted in you and sought, in small things as in great, in things temporal and things eternal to do your holy will. Amen. Respectfully submitted: Rev. Olin E. Lehman Regal G. Lowery Charles S. Brown Roy H. Homans 80 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

OWEN LOUIS SHANTEAU M. P. Companion Owen Louis Shanteau, General Grand Master 1975-1978, suffered a massive heart attack on October 13, 1985 and died October 17, 1985. Doctor Shanteau was born July 9, 1917 in Onward, Indiana. He was educated in the Public School of Cass County. After graduating from High School, he at­ tended Indiana University graduating from the School of Dentistry in 1941. He practiced dentistry in Logansport, Indiana for one year following his graduation and then entered the United States Navy Dental Corp where he served for six years. He then returned to the private practice of denistry in Logansport where he remained until the time of his death. He was married to Helen Crawford Perry of Portland, Oregon. He is survived by his widow and five children. GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 81

Companion Shanteau was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church, where he served as chairman of the Finance Committee and president of the Board of Trustees. He was a past president of the Wabash Valley Dental Society, a member of the American Dental Association and the Indiana State Dental Society. He served on numerous boards in his home town, was a member of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Kiwanis Club, and Elks Club. In Freemasonry he was a member of Indiana Priory No. 8 KYCH which indicates that he had served in all of the local York Rite offices in his communi­ ty. He was also a 33° member of the Scottish Rite, having been coroneted in 1974. He served as Grand Master of Cryptic Masons in Indiana in 1958 and was serving as Grand Recorder at the time of his death. His Masonic memberships were many and varied. Including Murat Temple A.A.O.N.M.S., St. Basil Conclave, Red Cross of Constantine, Sovereign in 1986, Gennesaret Tabernacle No. XVII, H.R.A.K.T.P. serving as Preceptor in 1972 and serving as Deputy Grand Preceptor of the Grand College of America at the time of his death. Dr. Shanteau was a Past Master of the Allied Masonic Degrees, a member of the Mutual Guild and held many honorary memberships in Coun­ cils and Grand Councils. Perhaps his crowning achievement in Cryptic Masonry, which he loved so dearly, was the establishment of the Benevolent Foundation which was engaged in research in the prevention of arteriosclerosis. He served as the Executive Secretary and Director of the Foundation from its beginning until the time of his death. 82 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

JAMES DEWEY PENLEY, JR. James Dewey Penley, Jr. was born in Hickory, North Carolina, on July 17, 1928. He was the eldest of two sons of James Dewey and Theora Holloway Penley.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International Co1npanions: Germany, Italy, Greece, Panama, Japan, Mexico, Guatamala, and the Philip­ pines - when we, in America, hear these names, we let our imaginations take over - we visualize Medieval Villages and Castles on the Rhine; the Vatican, Pompeii and the Roman Empire; the Parthanon, the Ancient Olympics and the Punic Wars; Shinto Shrines, Mount Fuji and the Samurai; the Panama Canal, and the Ancient Civilizations of the Aztecs, the Mayans and the Incas; and of Bataan, corregidor and the unsurpassed beauty of the Philippine Islands. It is true, all of these nations are exotic and exciting places to visit. They have histories that are centuries older than that of America, but more importantly they are masonically active and dedicated to exemplifying the Universality of Freemasonry. Masonry would not exist in America today, had it not been for our ancestors from Europe, who made the perilous journey to a new land to find the freedom they could not attain on the continent. Today, the freedom we enjoy in America is taken for granted, therefore, we, in America, are obligated to educate ourselves. We must learn about pur International Masonic partners. We must share in their goals, their national pride and their history. Conversely, they must also share in ours, so that together we might attain that perfect circle of international pride and understanding in Freemasonry. We must recognize that our companions overseas have different mentalities, languages and cultures. Companions, as we are not the Federal Republic of Germany, nor are they the United States of Atnerica. Our International Masonic relationship must be based in mutual respect be­ tween our member nations, in order for us to function as an International Masonic authority. We have to acknowledge the fact that other nations, either nationally or masonically, do not necessarily operate in the same manner as we do in GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 87

America. It is absolutely pararnount that we, An1ericans, alter our way of thinking and acting when dealing with our International Masonic partners. We, the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International, must understand that when we added the word ''International'' to our name, we assu1ned responsibility for the continuation and well being of the Cryptic Rite throughout the world and not just in the United States. Mutual understanding does not occur automatically. It requires a knowledge and tolerance of different cultures, a com­ prehension and respect for ideals, a unanimity with regard to Masonic goals and peaceful· agreement among Masonic Nations. It takes work, dedication, and loyalty to the principles of Freemasonry to attain mutual understanding among our companions. In America, we are not confronted with major proble1ns or obstacles con­ cerning the church, the unenlightened supersitions of the populace, civil strife or govenunent interference. Many of our International Associates overseas are plagued with these problems and obstacles on a day to day basis. When we make demands on thetn, we must be aware of what they may encounter in irnplementing the demands made. We must always have the option of compromise in all actions we take. Just because we do something in Atnerica in a specific way, does not mean that our companions can do the same thing, in the sa1ne way in Guatan1ala, Greece or Japan. We can never be arbitrary in our demands or decisions when interacting with our international 1ne1nbers. If we are, we will lose their respect and ultimately cease to function as an international organization. The predominant language of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International is American English, which cannot be literally translated into Ger­ man, Greek, Japanese, Italian, Spanish or Tagalog, the languages of our Interna­ tional members. Although many of our International members speak English, it is not their 1nother tongue and frequently, tnisunderstandings and confusion occur. One of the immediate goals of this General Grand Council should be to locate companions in each of our 1nembers nations, that are willing to translate English into their language and in turn, we should locate members in America that are willing to translate, into English, important documents from our Interna­ tional Jurisdictions. This would facilitate International understanding of important correspondence, the ritual, the ceremonies and the reasons for the existence of this General Grand Council by all of our members. The committee has purposely kept this report extremely general in nature, so that we would cause no adverse publicity toward those presently in turmoil and would not compromise the negotiations that are presently being undertaken to solve these difficulties. However, we will pose four questions to the member­ ship and we will provide no answers. Do we know why there is schism in the Grand Lodge of Greece which is affecting the York Rite of Greece? Do we know there was a major flareup in Italy over the P2 affair? Do we know why there is internal strife in the Grand 88 PROCEEDINOS OF THE

Council of Germany? Do we know why Guatamala, Panama and the Philippines are working under tenuous circumstances? These are just four of the extremely important questions that are facing us. We, as members of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons, International, owe it to our memberships to assist in answering and solving these present areas of contention in the International World. Armed with the knowledge of why something occured, we might be in better position to quell any like difficulties arising in our jurisdictions. We must be aware of what is occuring in Japan as much as we must be aware of what is occuring in Massachusetts. Companions, become familiar with the internal and external pressures that are being exerted against our fraternity and what actions we, as an International body must take to provide an equal amount of pressure in return. We, as Masons, do not want to defeat and destroy our enemies, we only want to neutralize them. We have problem areas throughout the International Cryptic Rite, whether they be in the Grand Council of California, the Grand Council of Greece or in our Constituent Councils in Japan and Mexico. They are our problems and not their problems. There is nothing in the Masonic World that cannot be solved if we will only work together with dedication, concentration and understanding. Once we have attained a mutual understanding among our members, then we can truly say that we have seen the Universality of Freemasonry in action. Fraternally submitted, David W.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEMBERSHIP To the General Grand Council Cryptic Masons International: Companions: We, your "Committee on Membership" submitted a comprehensive plan in 1985 to be implemented for this triennium. It is the opinion of the committee that, if the plan had been utilized, we would have shown a gain in membership. All of the points brought out in that report have been very successful in the jurisdic­ tions where tried. From the reports that I have seen, we are getting new members but are losing GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 89

members for N. P. D.; therefore we strongly suggest that some type of life­ membership plan be adopted. Zealously submitted, Earl R. Allan, Chr. M. C. Lewis, Jr. Gordon J. Brenner G. Gordon Goodman Irving R. Dietscher Dudley C. Barnes E. Don Collidge A. Leon Briggs

REPORT OF THE RITUAL COMMITTEE To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International Companions: The Cryptic Degrees continue to tell their story in a beautiful and concise manner, and the Committee has not received any suggestions or complaints about the present Ritual that was adopted in 1981. The Foreword on page 4 of the Ritual has taken care of any small changes the various jurisdictions might desire. To borrow an old saying; "If it isn't broken don't fix it." Your Committee, therefore, recommends that the present practice of allowing each jurisdiction to use the ritual of its choice be continued. At the suggestion of the General Grand Master the possibility of furnishing appropriate music on tape cassettes for those Councils that do not have an organist is being explored. Robert E. Heiland, Organist for the Grand Council of California, has agreed to develop such a tape. We hope to have a sample to submit to you for consideration at this Triennial. We wish to express our thanks to Most Puissant Ben. F. Mandelbaum for the opportunity to serve the General Grand Council. Respectfully submitted, Charles R. Pate Laverne Stippich C. Robert Beck, Chairman

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON YORK RITE COORDINATION To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International: Companions: We, the Committee on York Rite Coordination beg leave to report as follows: 90 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

York Rite coordination and/or some phase of it, such as unity or coopera­ tion often becomes a topic of Masonic writings, speeches and discussions. It is unfortunate that many of these words and ideas are not put into actual practice. It is amazing to find that there are those within our ranks who cooperate more with outside organizations than they do with their Masonic brothers. Perhaps this report could be better served by reporting the positive rather than the negative. On the International and National level good progress was made in York Rite coordination. This was accomplished through the International York Rite Coun­ cil, consisting of the dais officers and past presiding officers of the three Interna­ tional Grand Bodies; also the Regional York Rite Conferences, the details of which I am sure, will be given in the Report of our General Grand Master. A most outstanding event in advancing York Rite coordination was the General Grand Officers/Grand Encampment Class Festival held in Atlanta, Georgia, Oc­ tober 31-November 1, 1986. Over 200 candidates for the York Rite from nine states and over 450 companions were in attendance. On the state level, York Rite coordination may be furthered by annual Grand York Rite Body are held on the same or succeeding days; joint devine services and York Rite Coordination Committees, that are appointed, work together. On the local level, many Chapters, Councils and Commanderies are meeting on the same night; have established the use of a multiple petition form with historical data of the Degrees and Orders in York Rite classes and festivals, and are distributing trestleboards or bulletins notifying local bodies of all activities pertaining to Degrees and Orders, receptions and official visits of Grand Officers and social events. The Committee on York Rite Coordination wishes to express our apprecia­ tion to M.P. Comp. Bernard F. Mandlebaum for the privilege of serving on this committee and commend him for his work and support of York Rite Coordina­ tion, especially during the last triennium. Fraternally submitted, Vernon R. Parks, Chairman

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON YOUTH To the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International: Companions: I am delighted to report to you that the Youth Service Award that was started the last Triennium has been very well received. The Committee recommends that each member Grand Council take advantage of this program, and to develop their GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 91 own method of selecting the recipient of the award. Each Grand Council should stay within the guide lined that were established by the resolution that was passed at the last Triennium. This resolution is printed on page 93 of the Proceedings of The Thirty-fifth Triennial Assembly. This Committee feels that we have a very useful tool for encouraging our members to become more involved with our Youth Groups, and to show them recognition for their labors, as well as to identify Cryptic Masons as supporters of our Youth. We are also pleased to report that the General Grand Council in cooperation with the General Grand Chapter and the Grand Encampment has continued to support the cost and sponsor the Frank S. Land Memorial Luncheon for the Delegates at the International DeMolay Congress annually. Also, in cooperation with the Grand Encampment and the General Grand Chapter, we sponsor the International DeMolay Golf Tournament at the Indianapolis Speedway in Indiana annually. We must all work with our youth! Most of us have had rewarding experiences working with them. They are the future of our nation, and we should do our best to prepare them for the unknown that lies ahead for all of us. Respectfully submitted, Richard L. Duplisea, Chairman, Maine Eddie P. Stiles, North Carolina David E. Cumming, Vermont Samuel D. Page, Illinois Robert L. Taylor, Oklahoma Charles W. Barkins, Delaware James H. Birkey, New Mexico

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TIME AND PLACE R. P. Companion James A. Kirkbride, General Grand Master Elect, stated that the 37th Triennial Assembly of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International, would be held in Providence, Rhode Island, August 1990. He in­ vited all present to come.

MANDLEBAUM FILM CONTRIBUTION After all business had been conducted and just prior to closing the 36th Trien­ nial Assembly, General Grand Master Mandlebaum made a final statement of appreciation to the Companions for the privilege of serving as its General Grand Master the past three years. He started to read a paper he had prepared for this moment, but became overcome with emotion and requested the Deputy General Grand Master to read it for him. The statement read as follows: "Murie and Ben Mandlebaum desire to make a gift to General Grand Coun­ cil Cryptic Masons International to finance the cost of a promotional film on Cryp­ tic Freemasonry. We wish the film to be about Cryptic Masonry and to include some footage of the Cryptic Room in George Washington National Masonic Memorial and the Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation. We propose that this film be prepared by a professional company with quality to be a credit to Cryptic Masonry, and if possible, that it be ready for release before the usual conference which start in August, 1988. If this concept is accepted by motion of the General Grand Council in Triennial Session, on September 22, 1987, we propose that the incoming General Grand Master appoint a committee of Evan L. Fleming, Jr., Dalvin L. Hollaway, and Bruce H. Hunt to implement the pro­ duction of said film, and the Mandlebaums should be ex-officio members of this committee. Our concept is a professional film from which video cassettes may be made to sell or give to each Grand Council as may be decided later." R. P. Companion Kirkbride stated that he knew a little more about this gift than was contained in the letter. He moved the adoption of the motion contained in the above letter, which was immediately seconded by General Grand Recorder Bruce H. Hunt. He then asked the adoption by a rising vote of thanks to the Mandlebaums, whiclj was accordingly done. M. P. Companion Mandlebaum followed the adoption of this resolution by saying that in a short time a check would be sent to Bruce H. Hunt for investment and that it would be in a sufficient amount to produce the film and buy several cassettes for the Companions to use. He stated that this was just the Mandlebaums' way of saying "thank you," for allowing them to serve.

CLOSING The business of the Thirty-sixth Triennial Assembly having been concluded, the General Grand Master called upon the General Grand Chaplain to pronounce GENERAL GRAND COUNCIL 99 the benediction. The General Grand Council was closed at 3:17 p.m. with the announcement that the installation of officers would occur at 7:30 p.m. the follow­ ing evening, Wednesday, September 23, 1987.

INSTALLATION The installation of the newly elected and appointed officers of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International occurred at 7:30 p.m., on Wednes­ day, September 23, 1987, in the Castleberry/Orlando Hall, of the Hyatt Orlando Hotel, Kissimmee, Florida. The Installing Officers were: M. P. Companion Bruce H. Hunt. .. Installing General Grand Master M. P. Companion John H. Watts. . . .. Installing General Grand Marshal M. P. Companion Ben F. Mandlebaum ... Installing General Grand Marshal M. I. Companion Olin F. Lehman. . . Installing General Grand Chaplain

INSTALLATION PROLOGUE The installation of officers in any Masonic body is a solumn and serious oc­ casion, and should be regarded as a time of joy, hope, inspiration, and good fellowship. Installation is the act by which an officer is put into possession of the place he is to fill for a prescribed length of time. It is said that in certain cercn1onies there are actually niches or stalls into which the individual is placed with appropriate ceremony. In such cases, the one elected is actually and literal­ ly placed in a stall, or as we say, installed. In Freemasonry, by custom and tradition, officers are elected and must be properly installed before they can function in the office to which they have been chosen. The ceremony of installation is not peculiar to Freemasonry exclusively. It is said that the ancient Rotnans installed their Kings, their Priests, and their Magistrates, but the ceremony was called inauguration, because it was perfonned by the Augurs. The term "installation" is of more modern origin and is com­ pounded of' 'in and stallum'' meaning seat. Priests, after ordination or reception into their particular sacerdotal order, were installed into the parishes to which they were appointed. We may trace the installation of Masonic officers to Anderson's Constitu­ tions of 1723. The words "shall in due form install them" may be found in this document. The origin of the degrees of the Cryptic Rite are shrouded in the mists of the past. No one can say with certainty from whence they came, or in whose fertile mind they were conceived. We have some historical data about how they came to this country and how their lessons were taught at that time. There are records of conferral by the Ancient and Accepted Rite in Charleston, South Carolina, as early as 1783. 100 PROCEEDINGS OF THE

It was said by Dr. Albert Gallatin Mackey that at the establishment of the Grand Council of Princes of Jerusalem in the City of Charleston, on February 20, 1783, Illustrious Brother Joseph Myers, and others deposited in the archives certified copies of the Council degrees, received from Frederick the Second, King of Prussia, which they had obtained in Berlin. The degrees were conferred variously by Grand Councils, Grand Chapters, and the Ancient and Accepted Rite of South Carolina. The history and popularity of the Cryptic Degrees since that time is generally known to Masonic students. It is vitally important, therefore, that the officers of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International be duly installed in accordance with established custom and tradition. (The regular ceremony of installation proceeded according to the prescribed ceremony.)

PRESENTATION OF JEWEL The General Grand Council presents a General Grand Master's Jewel to the General Grand Master at the time of his installation.

During the several days on the Triennial Sessions of General Grand Council and General Grand Chapter, the members and their families found ample time to visit such places as the Epcot Center, Disney World, Sea World, Cypress Gardens, and many others. In addition, various luncheons and dinners and other entertainment were provided for the delegates and guests. In keeping with long established custom there were breakfast meetings of the Knights of the York Cross of Honour, the Red Cross of Constantine and the Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests. Each of these organizations has a special appeal for certain members in attendance. The incoming General Grand High Priest and the incoming General Grand Master each held special breakfast meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, September 21. The Mutual Guild, an organization of Grand Secretaries and Recorders, held a special meeting and banquet on Sun­ day, September 20, 1987.

TRIENNIAL BANQUET The highlight of all of the entertainment affairs was the triennial banquet spon­ sored by the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International and the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons International. This banquet was no exception and was truly a gala affair, with the introduction of all General Grand Officers and their ladies, together with the introduction of distinguished guests and their ladies. These introductions were made as the distinguished members entered the banquet hall. While Companion Duane B. Young made the introduc­ tions and Companion Walter H. Winchester and Most Puissant Companion Ben F. Mandlebaum shared the microphone for various personal presentations. 104 PROCEEDINGS OF THE
