All floor movements should be made in a clockwise direction except when specifically noted otherwise. The shaded area on Diagram One represents a walking band, which is always wide enough for two Officers to walk side by side. All Officers' movements about the Chapter room are directed by the letters on Diagram One. X is the station of the Officer(s) being directed. Z is the point on the walking band nearest the station of the Officer(s) being directed.

An Officer directed to move X Z moves directly forward from his station to the walking band, except: the Councilors, Scribe and Treasurer. These officers will move by the most direct route to walking band, but around the pedestals or desks in their paths. An Officer directed to move Z X returns to his station by retracing his X Z route.

Floor movements Examples: Movements of Chaplain and Marshal from their stations by way of South to the West side of the Altar would be noted thus: Ch. And Mar. move X Z I J. Their return from the West side of the Altar by way of the North to their stations would be noted: Ch. and Mar. move J K V Z X.

Recognition: When a person wishes to be recognized by the Master Councilor, or the equivalent presiding officer, he should rise, face the Master Councilor, and remain silent until he is recognized. When a person is addressed by the Master Councilor by name, or an Officer by title, he shall rise immediately and face the Master Councilor. No other salute of any kind is to be given to the Master Councilor. Except during prayers, all Officers (including the Master Councilor) and all other persons stand when speaking.

Gavel Raps: Except when this Monitor expressly requires otherwise, when a gavel is rapped once, all Officers standing at stations and all others standing will go to appropriate seats and sit down; when rapped twice, all Officers sitting will stand; when rapped three times, all persons sitting will stand.

Marshal Conducts: When the Marshal conducts an Officer or any other person, he shall use his right arm and hand to take hold of that Officer's or person's left forearm and wrist as shown in Figure 2. The Marshal may carry a baton. If he does so, one end of the baton should be in his left hand; the other end should be tucked under his left arm as shown in Figure 4.

Prayers: During prayers, all Active DeMolays (except the Chaplain and Marshal) kneel facing the Altar. An Active DeMolay kneels on his left knee, his right elbow resting on his right knee, his forehead resting in his right hand as shown, his left hand around his right elbow (See Figure 1.). The Chaplain kneels at the Altar on both knees, both hands palms down on the Holy Bible, body erect, and head slightly turned up; eyes may be opened or closed. (See Figure 5.). The Marshall, all Senior DeMolays and all Master Masons who are not Active DeMolays remain standing facing the Altar. Active DeMolays kneel and rise in unison with the Chaplain. Special rules are here set forth for the Marshal: The Marshal in the formation of the Triangle kneels with the other Officers. If the Marshal is carrying a baton, he kneels placing the baton across his right leg, behind his right elbow (See Figure 3.).

At the close of prayers and before rising, Active DeMolays respond "Amen", except after the Nine O'clock Interpolation prayer, when they respond, "God bless mother. God bless father. God bless the purpose of DeMolay. Amen."

Form of Address: An Active DeMolay who is not an Officer of the Chapter is addressed by the title "Brother" followed by his last name. An Officer of the Chapter is addressed by the titles " Brother" followed by the title of his office. An Advisor is addressed by the title "dad" followed by his name. A Senior DeMolay who is not an Advisor is addressed by the title "Brother" followed by his last name. A Master Mason who is not an Advisor or an Active DeMolay is addressed by the title "Mister" followed by his last name.
