Concatenation HeId at Sacramento

Sacramento Hoo'Hoo CIub Organized

One of the largest Hoo-Hoo Concatenations held in California in many years took place in the Elks Club, Sacramento, on the afternoon of February 10.

As a result of the fine organization work of E. S. McBride, Davis Lumber Co., Davis, Vicegerent Snark of the Sacramento district. and his able committee, a class of 33 candidates was initiated into the mysteries of HooI{oo, and 13 old cats were reinstated.

The 33 new members of the Order represent all of the lumber yards in Sacramento, being for the most part o\,vners, managers or assistant managers.

Unique in the history of Hoo-Hoo is the fact that all of the kittens were endorsed by three past Snarks of the U'niverse, Frank Trower, Dick Hiscox and Charlie LeMaster.
