Joe Scholari is our Junior Warden. The third of the principal officers is the Junior Warden. The Junior Warden is charged with the supervision of the Lodge while it is “at refreshment” (in recess for meals or other social purposes). Traditionally, it is presumed that the Junior Warden will become the next Senior Warden. This position is an elected office and is a one-year term.
The Plumb is the Jewel representing this office and admonishes all of us to walk uprightly in our several stations, to hold the scale of justice in equal poise, to observe the just medium between intemperance and pleasure, and to make our passions and prejudices coincide with the line of our duty. The Junior Warden should be committed the superintendence of the Craft during the hours of refreshment; it is, therefore, indispensably necessary, that he should not only be temperate and discreet, in the indulgence of his own inclinations, but carefully observe that none of the Craft be suffered to convert the means of refreshment into intemperance and excess.
