Will Be an Engineer—The Graduating Essay of Lawrence Arthur Hower, Oil City,
(Pa.) Lodge No. 48
Illinois as being a competent school, the graduates of which can enter college without examination.
In pursuance of my vocation, I spent my time between the carpenter shop, drafting class and cement plant. I have taken a rather complete course in plaster model and mold making, which not only gives me a fine trade, but also will make me a more efficient concrete man. I have become so pro-ffieient in the model and mold making, that the large- granite fire-place you see in the living room at the South end of the new Assembly Hall, is my. work.
As to my concrete work, I can look at it from both the ditch digger’s and the engineer’s point of view, as I have dug ditches and. studied the theory of concrete. With a few months more of training along the line of designing concrete members, wihch I will get at Lewis Institute, I feel that I can qualify as a Concrete Engineer. ;
Our life here has not been entirely school and work. We have a baseball and a football team every year, and 1 have only missed two games in the four years I have been here. As we have an excellent physical director we students understand these two great American games.
We have a lake which means swimming and boating in the summer, and ice skating in the winter.
The most profitable recreation that I have had is my membership in the band. I have been playing for about three years and believe I am qualified to go out into the world with the assured financial help that my playing in a musical organization would give me.
In closing, I wish to say that I can never recompense MOOSEHEART for the education and care that I have had here and will live with Mooseheart always in my mind and always ready to serve it, as the 500,000 members of the Loyal Order of Moose living for and loving Mooseheart, do today.
(The following Essay was delivered by Lawrence Arthur Hower on June 24, 1919, at Roosevelt Auditorium in the Assembly Building, before the Delegates to the Thirty-First Annual Convention and invted guests. It is the intention of The Mooseheart Magazine to print the Essay of each of the five members of the ’19 Graduating Class in succeding issues.)
My sister Lottie and I arrived at Mooseheart on July 16th, 1915. I can’t say just.what.my .impressions of. Mooseheart were. It was just full of fresh air and spacious grounds. There were but few buildings then, but enough to indicate that there would be many more.
As all newcomers went direct to Dean Rondthaler’s office, we went there and found the Assembly committee writing to the San Diego Convention. Our Band was on its way there at that time.
We were cordially welcomed and made to feel that we were at home. We did not have to go in detention as at present.
Lottie, my sister, was shown to Purity Hall which was to be her home up to last Thanksgiving when, through influenza, her spirit left this earth to enter heaven.
I was taken to Camp Mahlon Garland and shown in which tent I was to sleep. I was then shown all over Mooseheart.
We attended out first Assembly that day and were started on our course in parliamentary practice.
A few days later I entered the drafting class for the first part of my course in concrete work.
As there was no High School then, I entered the Eighth Grade—although I had left the second year of my home High School. However, we soon had a High School and I profited lay the review I had in the Grammer grades. We have had the best teachers and a few months ago our High School was accredited by the University of
Vineland, N. J. Lodge Adopts a French Orphan
General Joseph A. Jenkins, enclosing a photograph of little Andre Carroulle who has been adopted by Vineland Lodge No. 434, Vineland, New Jersey. It is an historic picture. Brother Jenkins representing the Vineland Lodge holding the hand of little eight year old Andre Carroulle with the Moose headquarters and the beautiful church of the Madeline in the rear, uniting in their benediction of good will and with best wishes for the lad on his voyage to his foster fathers in far off Vineland.
What a precious example of “Aid” this is in Vineland Lodge. It is the spirit, of Mooseheart carried out beyond the formal confines of the Order of Moose, and'embracing in its love and care the little French Waif. What does it mean to the boy ? What a noble future for him! What a treasure to that Lodge! How the years of boy and Lodge will merge in sacred care, protection and mighty love! What an inspiration for other Lodges, Societies, Clubs, Churches and Associations to do likewise!

vicissitudes of the parentless child. He formed the ideal of one day establishing a home for orphans which would be different, and in subsequent years, becoming enriched through investments in the famous Hercules mine in the Coeur d’Alene district, was able to put his ideals into effect. A fine farm and a beautiful set of buildings with all the possible comforts of a modern home have been reared, a half million dollar monument to an orphan lad’s boyish ambition.
