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 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 human heart of us all; and Oh, Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
— Mary Stewart.
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.
O O
SALUTE TO THE FLAG
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of tha United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
A TOAST TO CARY CIRCLE
Cary Circle knows the circle is the sign Forever linked with qualifies 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.
