PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
WE FACE TOMORROW with confidence as TOGETHER WE BUILD by maintaining Faith in the guidance and leadership of our National Federation.
REONA ROGERS, President.
COLLECT
Keep us, Oh God, from pettiness
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face—without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common women's human heart of us all, and,
Oh, Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!
—Mary Stewart.

OUR CLUB EMBLEM
THE FLAMING TORCH OF LEADERSHIP,
lighting the way for all to follow.
THE WINGED WAND OF THE HERALD,
ushering in the new era of opportunity.
THE SHIP OF COMMERCE,
carrying our message into all lands.
THE OPEN SCROLL OF LEARNING,
recording our ideals and our faith.
NIKE, THE WINGED GREEK GODDESS OF VICTORY,
the Central Figure of this group.
These, held in a tiny ENDLESS CIRCLE of shining gold, form the EMBLEM OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S CLUB.
•4—
EMBLEM COLLECT
Give us, oh God, a realization of what our Emblem stands for.
With its standards before us, may our lives be a little stronger and finer than yesterday.
May we weed out a little more of the selfishness and greed that makes our lives petty.
Help us to see the beauty of the golden circle that binds ninety-one thousand women to higher ideals in these United States.
And, oh Lord God of Hosts, may we forget not the ideals of this symbol, the beauty of art, the need of knowledge, our responsibility to the business world, the opportunity to uplift and the ever increasing need to be kind.

FEDERATION PLEDGE
As a member of the Business and Professional Women’s Club,

I will strive always for a finer, stronger womanhood; To serve ever to the best of my ability and strength; To be true to myself, my fellow-workers and to my God.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
WE FACE TOMORROW with confidence as TOGETHER WE BUILD by maintaining Faith in the guidance and leadership of our National Federation.
REONA ROGERS, President.
COLLECT
Keep us, Oh God, from pettiness
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face—without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common women's human heart of us all, and,
Oh, Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!
—Mary Stewart.

OUR CLUB EMBLEM
THE FLAMING TORCH OF LEADERSHIP,
lighting the way for all to follow.
THE WINGED WAND OF THE HERALD,
ushering in the new era of opportunity.
THE SHIP OF COMMERCE,
carrying our message into all lands.
THE OPEN SCROLL OF LEARNING,
recording our ideals and our faith.
NIKE, THE WINGED GREEK GODDESS OF VICTORY,
the Central Figure of this group.
These, held in a tiny ENDLESS CIRCLE of shining gold, form the EMBLEM OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S CLUB.
•4—
EMBLEM COLLECT
Give us, oh God, a realization of what our Emblem stands for.
With its standards before us, may our lives be a little stronger and finer than yesterday.
May we weed out a little more of the selfishness and greed that makes our lives petty.
Help us to see the beauty of the golden circle that binds ninety-one thousand women to higher ideals in these United States.
And, oh Lord God of Hosts, may we forget not the ideals of this symbol, the beauty of art, the need of knowledge, our responsibility to the business world, the opportunity to uplift and the ever increasing need to be kind.

FEDERATION PLEDGE
As a member of the Business and Professional Women’s Club,
I accept, as a sacred trust, all obligations placed upon me.
I believe in the principles and purposes of the Federation of Business and Professional Women.
I will promote the interest of women, and co-operate in perpetuating the activities of the Federation.
I will do my part to create a better understanding among the women of the world.
I will protect our Federation ideals and live up to its standards in fellowship, friendship, co-operation.
I will strive always for a finer, stronger womanhood; To serve ever to the best of my ability and strength; To be true to myself, my fellow-workers and to my God.
PLEDGE TO THE FLAG
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
