R.W. Ronald Astley, newly appointed D. D. G. Master was the honor guest of the evening. The Past Masters of Mount Holyoke Lodge worked the Master Mason degree. A large and distinguished suite accompanied R. W. Astley and it was interesting to note that he was able to introduce every one by name, rank and lodge, evidencing a wonderfully retentive memory.
