John Wayne Scores Big at Government Day
John Wayne Chapter at Government Day
Austin, TX - February 22, 2016 Thirteen members of John Wayne Chapter along with current Sweetheart, Briana Godinez, and Texas State Sweetheart, Claire Peebler, traveled to the State Capitol in Austin this past weekend to participate in the 39th Annual DeMolay Government Day. After much hard work in studying and researching information about the bills in the Bill Book, the Chapter members fought hard on the floors of the Texas House and Texas Senate to make their case. In the end, they walked away with their second Best House Delegation award in 3 years, being named Best House Delegation 2016. In addition, Ted Frick, walked away with Best House Delegate 2016 Senior Division. Congratulations to Ted and the rest of the team on a great weekend. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn't mention that two of our very own members opened up the House and Senate for Government Day. Tony Peebler opened the House of Representatives as Speaker, while Chris Little opened the Senate as President of the Senate. Other members participating were Pedro Garcia, Jr., Josh Zornes, David Lombard, Antonio Sifuentes, Galen Mikel, Jae Fulcher, Lawson Godinez, Andrew Luke, Caleb Lamb, and Tristan Arnold.

Waco, TX - July 31, 2016 A whirlwind conclave for John Wayne ends in triumph as the 86th Texas DeMolay State Master Councilor, Tony Peebler (John Wayne Chapter), passed his collar to the 87th Texas DeMolay State Master Councilor, Christopher Little (John Wayne Chapter). The Conclave also witnessed the retirement of Claire Peebler, who was the 2015-2016 Texas State Sweetheart, but also witnessed the hard fought election of our very own Ted Frick as the 2016-2017 Texas State Junior Councilor. Little has been with John Wayne Chapter since its rebirth in Alvin, and has been instrumental in its growth since that time. He is a graduate of Alvin High School and is currently taking college courses. He has twice been master councilor of the Chapter, holds the PMC-MSA, Founders Medal, Blue Honor Key and Lamp of Knowledge. He is a past illustrious knight commander of San Jacinto Priory, and holds the rank and distinction of a Chevalier. Brother Frick was a charter member of Dixon Squire Manor, and served as its first master squire, earning every award available. He is also a PMC-MSA, RD, and Lamp of Knowledge, and is currently serving his second term as master councilor of the Chapter. He is a student at Turner High School in Pearland. In addition to these high offices, the athletic and ritual teams made their presence known. In sports, the John Wayne Junior and Senior Volleyball teams both won championships. The basketball team came close, but ended up in second place at the end of the day. In flag football, the team was unfortunately eliminated in the second round of play. In ritual, the teams scored much better, winning championships in Chapter Proficiency, Initiatory Degree, and 4th Section. They also came in second place in the DeMolay Degree. In individual contests, Ted Frick walked away with championships in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Preceptor parts as well as the Senior Deacon, Initiatory Degree. Jae Fulcher walked away with first place as Master Inquisitor, and Colin Lamb won first place as Junior Inquisitor. Caleb Lamb came in second place in the Orator competition.
