Elected off a basket picnic

1921

The lodge’s 1921 officer line was settled the old Heights way: a Friday afternoon basket picnic, followed by the election. H. W. Toliver was chosen Senior Warden and James F. Helms continued as secretary. For an organization that would soon carry a six-figure building program, its civic style remained a picnic on the lawn.
