The New Senior I-Iigh School Building N JUNE 12, 1926, officers of the grand lodge of Pennsylvania, Free and Accepted Masons, laid the cornerstone of Reading's Cosmopolitan High School, Thirteenth street above Douglass. Full Masonic ceremonial was observed and the platform was filled with representatives of the various Masonic bodies. Rabbi julius Frank made the invocation and then George Beggs requested the right Worshipful grand master, William Hamilton, to lay the cornerstone. At the direction of the grand master one of the officials placed a box in the stone. In the box, which was scaled, were copies of the minutes of the school board for 1925 and 1926, a school directory and names of the officials of the school district, an American Hag, a Bible, copies of local daily papers, a set of present day postage stamps and coins of 1926. The secretary of the grand lodge then read the list of the articles in the stone. The stone was then tested and found true, plumb, level and square. The officials reported their findings to the right worshipful grand master. Howard I. Eiler of the hrm of Ritcher and Eiler was then presented to the grand master and received from him the tools and plans for the construction of the school. After a selection by the band of the junior and senior high schools the address of the day was made by Dr. H. M. J. Klein. professor of history and archaeology at Franklin and Marshall college, Lancaster, Pa. The closing benediction was given by Rabbi Frank.
