Stunned looks, impressive stares and big smiles were on the faces of the mem-bers of the Valley of Chicago, as they

entered the lobby of the world-famous Peabody Hotel in Memphis. The Peabody Hotel was the center of operations for the Valley’s 2014 Fall Reunion Road Trip to Memphis. Many members arrived just in time to see the “Peabody Ducks” make their daily march to the roof. “It sounds simple, but the Peabody makes ducks walking in a line a royal work of art in the finest South-ern tradition,” stated John W. Quinn.

The Peabody Hotel was only a small portion of the trip highlights. On Friday, there were tours of Graceland, Sun Music Studios and Gibson’s Guitar Factory. “I was so impressed to see the place where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Per-kins played their guitars. Then to follow that up by going to see the factory where the gui-tars are made, really brought it all home,”

Fall Reunion Road Trip Review: “Walking in Memphis”

stated Chicago member, Dr. Robert W. Applegate, Jr.

Friday night kicked off with a lively wel-come party at the Flying Saucer Restaurant. The Memphis restaurant and hot spot is decorated with saucers and plates attached to the wall. The Valley even added to this collection by bringing a specially-made plate complete with the trip logo. Members watched as the plate was permanently fixed to the wall for all to see.

Saturday morning, it was down to busi-ness. Chicago and Memphis brothers sat side by side and viewed several generous and complete Southern Jurisdiction Degrees. By late afternoon, it was time for Chicago to present its signature degree, “The Allego-ry of Constance.” It seemed like everyone from Chicago was backstage helping with preparations. Noel J. Kalis, MSA, 33°, was working on costumes, Chad M. Lacek was going over his lines for his role as the Monk,

and Director, Edward J. Witas, III, MSA, was trying to keep it all on time. Finally the curtain went up, the lights went on and forty minutes later, the applause gave way to a standing ovation. “I really want to thank all our members who made the performance possible. We gave our brothers from Mem-phis a special gift and one they are not likely to forget.” stated John T. Phillips, 33°.

Since moving out of downtown Chica-go, the Valley has taken many Reunion road trips. The first trip was out of necessity, but the Memphis Road Trip was different. It was born out of desire to let the members enjoy the camaraderie that only a trip can provide. “It gave us a chance to get to know one another on a different level, experience new things and come together as a group. That is what this fraternity is all about, and this trip did that for everyone that went.” stated Frank S. Winans, MSA, 33°.

By Lary A. Saladin, Jr.

The Valley of Chicago’s 2014 Fall Reunion was my first experience of the Scottish Rite and it truly was impres-

sive. Friday, November 7, 2014 was packed with entertainment, fellowship and a lot of fun. The evening started with a nice din-ner which included brisket, chicken, green beans, southern style mashed potatoes, soup and dessert. There was also a magnificent Elvis cake displayed in the hall in front of the dining room.

Dinner was followed by an Elvis imper-sonator and his live band, that rocked the stage in the dining room and every candi-date and member of the Valley, received an Elvis bobble-head. It was a fun evening and I was able to meet Masons who were already 32° and 33° Scottish Rite members. I was also able to begin a bond with the twen-ty-six other candidates in my class. When seeing somebody I never met, I made sure to introduce myself and mentioned what Blue Lodge I am a part of, and that I was a also a candidate.

Activities continued early Saturday morning with a continental breakfast. At 9:00 am, all the candidates were escorted into the lodge room and given a nice intro-duction along with information for the day by Edward J. Witas, III, MSA, Chief Operating Officer, and David R. Koss. The candidate class then went to the theater and we were greeted by the following speak-ers: Dale P. Cyrier, Thrice Potent Master, Van Rensselaer Lodge of Perfection. Frank S. Winans, MSA, 33°, Most Wise

2014 Fall Reunion: A Candidate’s PerspectiveMaster, Gourgas Chapter of Rose Croix of Heredom and John W. Quinn, Commander-in-Chief, Oriental Consistory. They helped explain the basics of Scottish Rite and many of the wonderful benefits and great services we offer. One of the best things that I enjoyed hearing is that every member there, was there to make this day special for the candidates. It was all about us.

While in the theater, we watched the new video for the 4°, “Master Traveler,” which was followed by a live performance of the 7°, “Provost and Judge,” directed by Michael E. Ehle. Activities at the Scot-tish Rite continued in the theater with the 24 degree on video, “Brother of The Forest.”

During a nice lunch, we enjoyed a live performance of the 16°, “Prince of Jeru-salem,” directed by Stephen W. Ford. The live theater was wonderful. It’s a great feeling to know that the director and cast went through great detail and practice to make sure the live degrees went smoothly and made an impression on us. The 16°, which was performed during lunch, was an especially fun degree to watch. Every table had a cast member sitting there and there was some minimal participation from the audience. It is something I know we all will remember.

Overall, Part 1 of the 2014 Fall Reunion was a great success and a wonderful learning experience. It proved to my class the great fellowship to look forward to and made us appreciate the time and effort the members

put into making our day a perfect experi-ence. We must give great credit to the staff and members, but especially to the mem-bers that acted in the live performances. All involved did an amazing job, from ward-robe to the live performance by the actors. It is amazing how they presented these degrees to us with such passion and honor.

Part 2 of the 2014 Fall Reunion contin-ued November 14 through 16, as our Val-ley took the show on the road to Memphis. There members of our Valley had a chance to witness degrees by the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction along with experi-encing all that Memphis, Tennessee and its famous Beale Street have to offer us.

I cannot wait until we meet again on January 8, 2015 for Awards Night and the presentation of the 32°, “The Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret.” It will be a great chance to reconnect with others from my candidate class and con-tinue meeting with other members of our Valley.

I plan on getting involved further than just a member at the Valley of Chicago. With so many different committees and activities to get involved with–there is so much to look forward to. I am proud that I decided to expand my path in Masonry by joining the Scottish Rite. Thank you to the Valley of Chicago for an excellent expe-rience.

2014 Fall Reunion Candidate and guest writer Lary A. Saladin, Jr. shared his perspective on the event.

M U S E U M A N D L I B R A R Y

Learning history from inanimate antique objects can seem like a daunting task. We can look at an old Masonic apron

and appreciate its beauty or workmanship, but placing it in a historical context or com-ing up with a date for its manufacture can seem impossible. This is why museum cura-tors spend years learning about the history of the materials and visual design elements. Only by comparing aprons to each other can we start to see how their design evolved, what influenced it and when particular aprons might have been made.

When this painted apron was given to the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in 1983, the donors did not have any information about who made it, who owned it or where it was from. But, once we added it to the collection, we were able to make connections between its design and the design of two other groups of aprons. With this information, we can date this apron to the late 1810s or 1820s and sug-gest that it was probably made in Massachu-setts or Maine.

This apron seems to have been influ-enced by an apron pattern designed by Edward Horsman (1775-1819) in 1814. Horsman became a Freemason in 1802 in Boston’s Mount Lebanon Lodge. In 1814, the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts laud-ed his design as “a judicious selection of the emblems of the Order, arranged with taste and propriety.” Even after his death in 1819, Horsman’s widow continued to sell aprons printed from his engraving of this design. The Museum & Library has five Horsman aprons in its collection alone, and many more survive in the collections of Massachusetts lodges, suggesting the wide popularity of these aprons during the early 1800s, as well as their accessibility as source material.

This apron also shares a similar arrange-ment of symbols with an example in the

Stitching Together the History of Masonic ApronsBy Aimee E. Newell, PhD., Director of Collections, Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library

Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library collection signed by artist Charles Cod-man (1800 or 1801-1842). Codman, who apprenticed in Boston, may have been familiar with the Horsman apron. In turn, the maker of this apron may have seen one of Codman’s aprons and produced his or her own version.

One major difference – the addition of a flowering vine above the archway – may indicate that the maker was a woman who received training at a local academy. Simi-lar flowering vines appear on many Amer-ican decorative arts and textiles, such as samplers, quilts, furniture and ceramics. Like the Horsman apron design, Codman’s design appears on several extant aprons in other collections. And, the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library acquired a sec-ond example of the apron with the flower-ing vine design in 1985.

Unfortunately, while the maker, or mak-ers, of these aprons remain a mystery, the links to the Horsman and Codman aprons start to build a context for the popularity of these aprons in New England during the

early 1800s. Looking at all of these aprons together helps us to understand the type of apron worn by Freemasons at this time and suggests an arrangement of symbols that resonated with members.

These aprons are among the ones fea-tured in the book, The Badge of a Freema-son: Masonic Aprons from the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, which will be published by the Museum & Library in May 2015. Several aprons are also part of the Museum & Library’s exhibition, “Every Variety of Painting for Lodges’: Decorated Furniture, Paintings and Ritual Objects from the Collection,” which opens November 22, 2014, in Lexington, Massachusetts.

We can date this apron

to the late 1810s or

1820s and suggest that

it was probably made in

Massachusetts or Maine.
