Senior Warden

The Senior Warden (sometimes known as First Warden) is the second of the three principal officers of a lodge, and is the Master's principal deputy. Under some constitutions, if the Worshipful Master is absent then the Senior Warden presides at meetings as "acting Master", and may act for the Master in all matters of lodge business.

The Symbol of the Senior Warden is the Level. The Level teaches equality and so should the Senior Warden represent that all bretheren are on an equal level within the lodge.
