1939 - 1940

THE AMERICAN’S CREED
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its Laws; to respect its Flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
SALUTE 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.”
1939 - 1940

A TOAST TO CARY CIRCLE
Cary Circle knows the circle is the sign Forever linked with qualities divine Unity, loyalty, high thoughts bless With the circle’s endlessness.
CHORUS
From the circle’s perfect standard May our conduct never vary Let the toast go swinging around With a glorious ringing sound Here’s to Cary, to Cary.
Cary Circle knows the circle is the seal,
Of all our aims, the good, the true, the real. Let us not carelessly mar nor break
The pattern that we strive to make.
— May Williams Ward.
