Eastern Star (Easter Program - 1973)

A special Easter program was presented at the April 16 meting of Carmi Chapter No. 60, Order of the Eastern Star.

The program centered about a candle lighting ceremony by Mr. Marion Ray, Mrs. Rose Bollom, Mrs. Emilie Albrecht, Mrs. Fern Holt, and Mrs. Ellen Johnson, star points; Mrs. Frances Barlow, marshal; and Mrs. Mary Jane Seif, chaplain. Their tapers were lighted in turn from a candle lighted first by Mrs. Barbara Henchen, associate worthy matron. Albert Holt, associate worthy patron, also assisted in the program, as did other officers.

Mrs. Ruth Maegdefessel played hymns during the candle lighting. The program concluded with Mrs. Ruth Van Gorden singing “Blessed Assurance.” A lunch was served by Mrs. Carol Dopp and Mrs. Dorothy Brown.

The Chapter’s next meeting is planned for May 14, when there will be balloting on a petition regarding the affiliation of Zanza Cook.
