Leopard Lodge - Milwaukee based
social group on the 1950s situation comedy HAPPY
DAYS/ABC/1974-84.
Leopard Lodge member Howard Cunningham
& son,
Richie
The Leopard Lodge (No. 462) members included hardware store
owner Howard Cunningham (Tom Bosley) who began as Leopard first
class and eventually attained the rank of Grand Puba.
The lodge hat is a leopard covered Fez with a red top and
dangling black tassle. Neophytes are called Leopard Cubs. They
start off with a plain beige fez beret and then have to earn
their spots.

The lodge holds an annual event called the Poopa, Dooda
Dance. Once Howard's son Richie asked Al Delvecchio (Al Molinaro),
the owner of the local high school hangout, if he was going to
the lodge dance? "No, I'm not allowed. I don't have enough spots
yet. But someday, I'll be a Poopa, a Dooda, or even a Poopa,
Dooda. I know its a dream," he sighed.
