This 1958 program originates from the Fort Washington Royal Arch Chapter No. 220, located in Pennsylvania. The folded paper document provides information regarding the Chapter's activities and membership during that year. The program is printed in red ink on cream-colored paper stock.
The front cover displays the chapter's name and an ornate border, incorporating Masonic symbols. Among these symbols are a Star of David, an object resembling a plumb bob, and a trowel. A central image depicts a stylized representation of what appears to be an altar or presentation platform, with a book and other objects displayed upon it.
The left inside panel lists the Chapter's officers for 1958, including both appointed and elected positions. It also includes a roster of Past High Priests and Living Past High Priests, indicating their years of service from the early 1900s to 1958. The Chapter's founding date of September 10, 1799, and the date of its inaugural meeting, February 6, 1800, are noted. The following brethren are listed: Harry V. Landis, Otto F. Ladwig, Lawrence H. Spencer, Milford A. Ziegler, Cecil G. Ferguson, Sydney T. Freeman, Clarence C. Tuckerman, Russell J. Smith, Robert B. Geddes, John H. Lauder, Kenneth B. Reigner, Clarence E. Reigner, R. R.

The right inside panel details scheduled events, including a Stated Meeting on May 23, 1958, in Foxington, Pennsylvania, and the Annual Communication of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania and Quarterly Convocation at the Masonic Temple in Ambler on June 2, 1958.
