' ff YYY , 'Ji O UR CAMP after Longfellow Should you ask me whence these stories, 'Whence these legends and traditions WVith the fragranceof the pine tree VVith the dew and damp of meadow YVith the curling smoke of our camp fires I should answer, I should tell you: From the camp near the forest, Near the great lakes of VVisconsin From the land of VVinnebagos Near the land of the Dakotas, From the camp called YVetomachek. I repeat them as I hear them Some from VVapo, some from Koda, Ive shall tell you as they told us. Near the shores of Lake Geneva, Near a lake of clear blue water Stood a camp called WVetomachek Nleeting place of friends forever There we gathered all in wonder Listening to the birds above us Calling shrilly across the tree tops. Later we would learn their language, And the language of the flowers. lVIany things our Koda taught usg Of the stars that shine in heavens, Showed us Dracula the Dragon, Dracula, the fiery dragon, And the big and little dipper Shining brightly in the heavens, Showed us how to choose the flowers Bright ones, small ones with the others. How to be so very careful Not to let the gardeners catch us Plucking big ripe red strawberries, Luscious, sweet and juicy Growing there in abundance Near the bright and colorful flowers. On the diamond, Mr. Teuscher Showed us wonders with the base ballg How to bat it and run so quickly That others could not catch us. Saw the rainbow in the heavens, In the Eastern sky the rainbow. When all was very wet and dreary, For days and days without the sunshine And We listened to him cheerfully Ever hoping, watching, Praying. 62

As we sat entranced Beneath the weeping willow tree, Every Sussie ashore Sang of Indian lore. As the four big tribes Sat near the firelight beaming bright, And the songs we sing tonight Klemories bring to light Of the deeds of bold braves Of the long, long ago, As we sing the Susquehanna melody. The Sussie tribe is glad to see you. YYe are glad to have you here 'With the White and Blue we greet you And our hearts are full of cheer As we gather round this campfire We all hope you'll tarry long As we pledge our loyal friendship In a true, dear Sussie song.

ln the water Nliska taught us How to swim like little fishes ln and out the cold, blue waters Sometimes bright and sparkling Waters And lest we forget to come up quickly Not to get the least excited. For supper we would have the fishes Along with seaweed green and slimy But if you tarry too long there, Soon you'd count the stars in heaven. We must not forget Owakon Of the many things she taught us How to paddle in the water And glide clear over the water. For the lake was deep and stormy And t'would be awful to fall over Vfiith the canoe on top instead of under Ask us port or starboard if you care to And your directions will be followed. Now we hear our Big Chiefs whistle Calling, ever calling for us just to hustle but not to hurry Never, never, never worry If youill be on time to classes Such things you can't get rid of easily For theyill be there if you're absent But donit let them mislead you For many times when youire absent lliapo will be sure to find you. In the camp on Sunday evenings YYe would gather round the campfire With its fiery glowing embers And our blankets tucked about us Not for Warmth or even comfort, But they helped to keep out skeeters And when all was dark and solemn lYe would listen oft in wonder To tales told us by scribes and editor From our paper called Ayaka. There we listened to tribes singing Often of their deeds and honor For such is the tradition of the camp Of the bright and leaping campfire And We met there quite regularly Unless dampened by big, big raindrops llihich came down so very suddenly Dampening us but not our spirits. Now that you have heard this story Remember such joys are for all who seek them.
