Hueston
One of the highlights of
Friday s session, Aug 28, was
the presentation at Senior
High school of a plaque to
Judge William C. Hueston,
grand secretary, as “Mian of the
Year” by the Afro-American
newspapers.
Judge Hueston has been one
of the pillows of the Improved,
Benevolent and Protective Or¬
der of the Elks of the World
for 55 years. He was appointed
the first Grand Commissioner
of Education in 1925, a position
he resigned in 1951 to fill the
unexpired term of James E.
Kelley who died that year.
He holds degree of Past Grand
Exalted Ruler, and is editor of
the Washington Eagle, official
organ of the Elks Fraternity.
Since he became an officer
in the cabinet of the Grand
Lodge, the organization evolved
from a mere benevolent frater¬
nity, taking care of the sick
and attending funerals of the
dead, to a major institution,
covering health, education, and
civil liberties and asking to
inspire its membership in a
crusade for improvement on
all fronts.
As editor of the Washington
Eagle, Judge Hueston has kept
the membership informed of
the program enunciated by
the leadership of Dr. J. Finley
Wilson and Dr. Robert H. John¬
son, who have served as Grand
Exalted Rulers since Hueston’s
elevation to the Grand Lodge
Cabinet.
Heads Department of

34 years, has spent more
a million dollars in prize scho¬
larship monies to more than a
thousand scholarship
of young Negro and white stu¬
dents who entered the major
colleges and universities in
United States.
The.se students have declaim¬
ed before more than six mil-
lion people on “The Negro and
the Constitution." Mlany
them are now famous judges,
lawyers, doctors, teachers, so¬
cial workers, leaders in
communities and points thru-
out the globe.
Married In 1910
Judge Hueston in 1910
ried the former Jennie
inson of Washington,
where he now lives with
son, Harry. A daughter,
Margaret Hueston Reddick, is
school attendance officer
the D.C. Schools.
Another son, William
