Illustrious Sir H. L. "Robby" Robertson

Potentate - 1925

The 10th anniversary of Arabia Temple in 1925 found the beloved and enthusiastic Illustrious H. L. “Robby” Robertson as Potentate. Robby hosted the entertainment of two Imperial Potentates on their official visits to Arabia Temple during his term of office. The annual activities of the Temple were carried on and the uniformed units were taken to the Imperial Council meetings in Los Angeles, California.

On November 21, 1925 the 10th Anniversary of the Temple was celebrated at the City Auditorium. The program consisted of a concert by the Band, a drill by the Patrol, and an anniversary address by Imperial Assistant Rabban Frank C. Jones, Past Potentate of Arabia Temple.

In December the Temple purchased the Jones Property on Main and Anita Streets for $125,000. With a gain of 124 new members, the total enrollment was close to the 4,000 mark.
