JESSE EDWARDS WINS SUPREME POSTER!
CELEBRATION IS HELD SEPTEMBER 27TH!!- Jesse
Edwards, a Junior at Winchester Community High School and the
representative of Crescens Lodge #33 and the Grand Domain of Indiana
captured the Supreme Lodge Poster Contest title!! Jesse placed 6th
in the contest last year and his poster about "bullying" must
have caught
the eye of the judges as it reaped $1,000 in dividends for Jesse!
Crescens Lodge #33 staged a celebration on Tuesday, September 27th with
a nice crowd on hand to attend this grand celebration!! New Castle
Mayor James Small proclaimed the day "Jesse Edwards Day" and issued a
proclamation to be read. Supreme Prelate and National Poster Chairman
Keith Stooksberry and his wife PSC Sheila were present representing the
Supreme Lodge. Following his comments, Indiana State Director of
Youth Activity PGC David Hensel was called forward for the $1,000
presentation. MC/SR Dennis Adams (GT) also presented Jesse a
plaque from Crescens Lodge for his championship. Dale Hardacre,
Art instructor at Winchester Community High School, was called forward
and surprised with not only a plaque of appreciation from Crescens Lodge
but also given the Supreme Lodge Medal of Honor for his contributions to
the poster contest. Hardacre is believed to be the only 6 time
winning instructor in the history of the contest. Dale and Jesse
were supported by having the principal, assistant principal, band
director and choir director in attendance from the school. Grand
Vice Chancellor Michael Deaton lead a contingent of Grand Lodge officers
including Grand Prelate Richard Neal, Grand Secretary Ralph Willis and

CRESCENS MEMBERS
BECOME PART OF NEW CASTLE HISTORY
Crescens Lodge and the Knights of Pythias were
once again invited to the corner of I avenue and 18th Street for the
re-burial of the Maxwell/Metaldyne time capsule as we were in 1907.
PGC Denny Adams, Secretary of the Lodge, was invited to attend to
represent the lodge in a very small ceremony on Monday, October 22,
2007. Pythian relics deposited were a minted coin from Supreme
Chancellor David Mead, a commemorative ribbon donated by PSR Robert A
Simmons, Jr, a Crescens Lodge old style lapel pin donated by the Adams
family which belonged to Maridene's father Robert Crandall and a
complete membership list with all members's names, addresses and their
rank as of the day of the burial. Sooo, YOU are part of history!
Tell someone in your family so if age will prevent you from being there,
you can have a family representative there on October 22, 2057 when the
time capsule is opened again!
