As learned maids and braves debated, From our midst there rose three maidens Telling of a great adventure Told to them by whistling westwinds Told to them by whispering breezes, These three maidens, skilled in writing, Wrote the tale the winds had whispered, Thus we prospered in the first year; Our maids and braves did not weaken As the second year rolled onward, Nor in the third year, did they weaken In their sports and arguments, On swift feet the fourth year hastened. Swift it passed though filled with victories. Now I stand and plead for guidance, For me and for my fellow tribesmen, We go out upon a journey Through the country of the future. Out upon the plains of Business. Through the forests of Professions, Onward to the halls of Fame, O! Great Spirit, hear my prayers, Guide the Tribe of ’27. G. D.
