IN MEMORIAM
"They never quite leave us, our friends who have passed,
Through the shadows of death to the sunlight above;
A thousand sweet memories are holding them fast,
To the places they blest with their presence and love."
1926 ------ Miss Nell Waugh
1927 —'28 ---- Miss Nolia Meredith
1938—'39 — Mrs. Mabel Hillebrandt
1944-'45 ---- Mrs. Pansy Brown

CLUB 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, straight-forward 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 heart of us all, and,
Oh, Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!
- Mary Stewart.
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.

Verna's Song I WOULD BE TRUE
I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all — the foe, the friend-less;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love and lift.
I would look up, and laugh, and love and lift.
Jo’s Song TELL ME WHY
28
Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines,
Tell me why the ocean’s blue,
And I will tell you why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine, Because God made the ivy twine, Because God made the ocean blue, Because God made you, that's why I love you.
29
Flag Salute
I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands One nation under God, indivisible With liberty and justice for all.
God Bless America
God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her With a light from the bright star above From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the ocean white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home, God bless America, my home sweet home.
