Meet Mike Vitelli, of Jenkintown, PA. (Wait, his name's Mike? Well, everybody knows him as "Curley", so let's stick with that.) But let the record show that, in spite of his nickname, he's no Stooge! And, in spite of the date of this spotlight, he's nobody's fool.

What he is is a valuable part of Friendship-Bray Chapter, where he's been a member for 2 and a half years and is currently Senior Deacon. At 16, he's a sophomore at Upper Moreland High School, where he plays both football and hockey, and is on the track team as well. He's on the grounds crew for Upper Moreland Little league and likes hanging out with his friends, watching Martin Lawrence, and listening to Led Zeppelin. Somewhere in there, he finds time to be at just about everything his Chapter ever does!

Mike joined DeMolay to have a place to go, and to help him through some rough times. Besides, he knew it was a place to make great friends. Curley is proud of his involvement in DeMolay, and we're proud to call him one of our own.

He's hoping to be a state officer some day, and he's currently working toward being state champ in the "Mag 7" (that's short for Magnificent Seven, a ritual competition in performing all seven Preceptor parts from the Initiatory Degree). Do we think he'll do well?
