Conclave 2001 PhotosFinal Session - ClosingOn Sunday, there was still more important business to attend to at Conclave 2001. Despite a late night on Saturday, the guys get up early to make the final session.
It takes some dramatic techniques to encourage teenage guys to remember to return home with all their belongings. One method is to turn over items left behind to the Executive Officer, who then has the unfortunate forgetful owners to sing I'm A Little Teapot or other song to get their stuff back. Francesca Riley, Dad Riley and Lamar Smith sing a trio to regain their personal property.
Just about everybody "loses" something. Here the entire group of new state officers give a fabulous rendition of I'm A Little Teapot. Could it be that all these folks are really that forgetful, or is there a little playfulness going on here? Read on .....
Some DeMolays see this tradition as an opportunity to be mischievous and sometimes "borrow" a fellow member's stuff to see them be made to sing. Unfortunately, Brian Eidson, is caught red handed "borrowing" the SMC's collar. He can only get off the hook by singing, I'm A Barbie Girl, which, with the help of Jon Challen's electronic altering of his voice to a high falsetto on the PA system, gets everyone rolling in the floor with laughter!
Dad Bohn installs Dad Mike Riley, Middle Georgia Chapter, as the new State Chapter Dad.
Dad Riley is very popular with the young men of Georgia DeMolay and is the father of the State Senior Councilor, Mike. His appointment is welcomed by the members.
Newly installed State Master Councilor, Justin Nobles, unveils his program for the ensuing year. He is well prepared and tells the members that his focus will be on ritual development in the Chapters. He challenges the DeMolays to become more proficient in the ritual work.
Perry and Julius show Justin's slogan for his administration, Building Upon A Foundation.
State Parents' Club Coordinator, Mom Lorna Bush, presents Mom Griggers, President of Clayton Chapter Parents' Club, with the awards for Parents' Club of the Year and best Chapter Scrapbook.
Mom Griggers presents Derrick with a gavel plaque on behalf of the Clayton Chapter Parents' Club.
Lindsey Honea presents her brother Derrick a special quilt commemorating the highlights of his year.
Conclave ends with a group picture of the new State DeMolay Officers, State Executive Officer and State Sweetheart ready to embark upon their new adventure. This team is energetic, optimistic and guided by a natural leader in Justin Nobles. DeMolay is thriving in Georgia! Click on the following links to see more pictures from Conclave 2001:
