A contest was presented to all Masons of Indiana by MWB Ishmael D. Ison, PGM. Unexpectedly, designs came in from all over Indiana, so many that a committee had to be formed to choose the best design. There were two most outstanding designs and during deliberations, an idea formed – combine the two designs.
