An interesting bit of emphemera…Tamegonit Lodge stationery dating from 1957 inviting an elected candidate to Camp Naish for induction into the Lodge. It provides some insight into how lodge inductions were done at that time. It appears that “Initiations” were held annually at the Spring Conclave as opposed to the frequent induction ceremonies at summer camp and on varios spring and fall weekends the lodge hosts now. Another interesting note is the inviation to bring one’s own sack lunch for use during the Ordeal. If I had known that was an option, I would have brought something more substantial than a cheese sandwhich, hard-boiled egg and an apple!
I’d be interested in getting scans of Tamegonit letterhead from different eras. Do you have something from an earlier or later date?
