In recent months many Senior DeMolays have joined the Masonic Fraternity and, to welcome them into the Craft, their DeMolay Advisors have participated in the degrees. Bro. Thomas R. Labagh, P.M., Executive Officer of DeMolay in Pennsylvania, has made it a priority of the Order to have advisors and staff members present at numerous conferrals of Masonic degrees on the young Senior DeMolays.

Recently, Jason Stains, Past State Master Councilor, was raised in Acacia Lodge No. 586, Waynesboro. The degree team consisted of Master Masons who are very active in DeMolay leadership:

John L. Stains, D.D.G.M., 3rd Masonic District, served as W.M.; Bro. Labagh as S.W.; Lee L. Cram, Jr. (PSMC) as J.W.; Fred W. Wichterman, P.M., as S.D.; Brent D. Richards (PSMC) as J.D.; Samuel C. Williamson, R.W.P.G.M., as S.M.C.; Jess A. Leidig, III, as J.M.C.; Harry L. Oyler, P.D.D.G.M., as Pursuivant, and David W. Berry, as Guide. Jess A. Leidig, III, who is the Chapter Advisor of George Washington Chapter, Chambersburg, also presented the Bible that was used for all of Jason's degrees.

DeMolay Advisors also have participated in degree teams for Joshua E. Collins, Canawacta Lodge No 360, Susquehanna; Brett F. Fisher, Lodge No. 9, Tacony; Judah B. Hoover, Lamberton Lodge No. 476, Lancaster; James R. Runyan, Wilson-Joppa Lodge No. 714, Dravosburg; Phillip S. Leopold, Concordia Lodge No. 67, Jenkintown, and others.
