The 1958 National Order of the Arrow Convention was held at Kansas University in Lawrence, Kansas. One of the highlights of the event was when E. Urner Goodman, the founder of OA, visited with the Lodge and posed for a group photo (below). The Lodge presented its totem to Dr. Goodman and he is wearing the totem in the photo. |
