Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Initiate Thirty

Distinguished List of Kittens-Fifteen ReinstatementsEntertainment Features Greatly Enjoyed

Thirty thirsty and hungry youngsters in the land of Hoo Ifoo were given the light of day at the Concatenation held by tn-e Los Angeles District on the night of February 15th.

It was a hotable party, from manv angles.

First, there were well over two hundred men in attendance, a surprisingly large number of the local boys and a gratifying attendance from neighboring districts, San Diego and Orange County.

From the first crack of the gong there was action. The show, in the hands of Leo J. Germain of the Germain Lumber Company, started promptly at 7:30. Leo has some mighty good ideas of entertainment, and made good his promises to have something different. Three snappy threeround bouts, by clever boys from the Newsboy's Club of Los Angeles, together with vocal and violin music by other members of the same aggregation, made up this part of the program. Fred Golding, head of the Fred Golding Lumber Company, acted as referee. Leo injected additional interest in the bouts by declaring one of the principals to be a retailer and the other a wholesaler. Naturally there was lots of cheering, betting and good natured kidding by the old Cats.

Vicegerent Hart started his part of the party at eight- thirty. The Nine was well rehearsed, were all new to the work and behaved likeveterans. The Ritual work was given in a very impressive manner, put through snappily and then the poor uhfortunates were given over to Frank J. Connolly of the \Mestern Hardwood Lumber Company and his committee, for the further tests of the initiation.

There is probably not a man of the thirty who does not agree that he joined something that night. Frank was ably assisted by Herm Rosenberg of the Hipolito Company and Tad Jacobs of the Lumbermen's Reciprocal Association.

This was followed bv a buffet lunch. and then the usual after dinner diversions held attention.

Much credit is due the Entertainment Committee, Leo J. Germain; the Location Committee, Rollins A Brown ; and the Initiation Committee.

The Nine consisted of : Phil. B. Hart, "Cali{ornia Lumber Merchant". .Vicegerent
