On January 9th the Installation of Officers was held and the new Master remarked, "that he would do his utmost to merit the distinction that had been conferred upon him this day." Afterwards dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all.

Discussion in the February stated meeting varied from curtains in the cottage owned by the Lodge, to assisting Bro. Andersen on his farm. There were discussions on blacking out the Lodge room windows in case of night time attack, to the security of the autos in the parking lot to the security of the Lodge room itself in case of an attack.

A motion was carried to remit the dues of those brethren serving their country in the armed forces as was done in World War One, if the Grand Lodge of California allowed it.

On November 21 Bro. C. E. Mathews Past Master of Clovis Lodge was laid to rest at Clovis Cemetery. Kind words spoken of Bro. Mathews were," He will be greatly missed at our assemblies and among his friends."
