Wiki cut and paste. These officers are in use in the GL of NJ.
The offices of 'Senior and Junior Masters of Ceremony' appear in some jurisdictions. Their primary duty is to prepare candidates prior to each of the three degrees. They also help conduct the candidates during the degree conferral. In some jurisdictions, the Masters of Ceremony are responsible for answering alarms at the preparing room, examination room or outer doors.
Specific to NJ.
During a normal meeting, the Sr and Jr. MoC do nothing.
During a degree, they have floor work. The Sr does all the talking.
The Sr MoC responds to the WM when asked how should a candidate be prepared.
The Sr. MoC checks to see if there are any candidates in waiting or for examination.
The Sr MoC delivers the interrogatories and makes sure the candidates are properly prepared.
They form part of the column that circumambulates during a degree.
The Jr MoC only has two words to speak during the degree and it is when the candidates salute out to return to the prep room to be invested in that which he has been divested.
