‘NOTHING NEW,' SHRINE SLOGAN I AT CEREMONIAL Old Stunts Being Dug up for Candidates at March Initiation. “There’s Nothing New Under the Sun” will be the slogan for the spring Shrine ceremonial March 30, according to William H. Bockstahler, potentate. The event will be “ye olde tyme affaire," and all past potentates and old veterans will be drafted to officiate. It is planned to dig up an old stunt used many years ago on candidates and use it with modern trappings under the names of the member who resurrected it. Elias J. Jacoby, past imperial potentate and father of the Murat Mosque, will be asked to act as potentate during the ceremony. Other past potentates who will be asked to officiate are: Denton P. Billingsley, Leon T. Leach, Elmer F. Gay, E. J. Scoonover, John E. Milnor, Louis G. Buddenbaum, Charles J. Orbison, George M. Spiegel and Arthur B. Wagner. The memory of Chalmers Brown, who died recently, will be commemorated, Brown was the original charter member of Murat and the second potentate. “There are many old stunts which the younger members of Murat have never seen,” Bockstahler says. “And these stunts will all be ‘pulled’ during the spring ceremonial.” Since the Keystone class of the Scottish Rite completes ritualistic work before the Shrine class starts, Shriners are concentrating their efforts on the Rite candidates.
