1st Class Adoption Commencement Bay Camp #9261. This large group, members of the M.W.A. (Modern Woodmen of America), posed on February 12, 1925 at the Moose Temple in downtown Tacoma. Several of the men are bearing axes. The newly organized Commencement Bay Chapter No. 9261 of the Modern Woodmen of America held their first initiation on Thursday night, February 12th. Members being initiated are in the first two rows, kneeling and sitting. Behind them in the third row, wearing dark uniforms, are visitors from the Puyallup lodge. Men standing in white are the drill team of the new chapter. Others in back are charter members and visiting representatives. There are over 100 members in the new chapter.
