Lend us thy strength, O stalwart oak, Lend us thy valiant power; Give us a vision of thee to keep Fair as art thou this hour. Symbol of strength that Keuka leaves Deep in our hearts to dwell, Great is the courage thou dost give — When we must say farewell. V. D.

Muriel Naylor rz ' MZM’a Legend of the Senecas As the autumn sunset streaming Covered Keuka’s hills with glory, On her shores a new tribe gathered Guardians of the Western gate-way. Thence they came to fill the lodges Late left vacant by their sisters There among the other nations. Yet, ere many moons had faded, With their true friends, Onondagas, Loved and guided by the Mohawks, Nurtured by the Tuscaroras, Senecas had learned the secret Learned to love and honor Keuka. When the summer sun returning Brightly shone through leaves of Oak trees Onondagas were departing Going out to join life’s battle. Since then Mohawks, Tuscaroras Far have wandered from our camp-fire And their tribesmen, young and tender. Oft have joined us at our long-house. Moons have waxed, and moons have waned, Joys and sorrows touched our wigwams; But the friendships firm, enduring. Make the future ever brighter. As we guide our birch barks westward Over Keuka’s peaceful waters. We shall n’er forget the mem’ries — Mem’ries of our Alma Mater. L. A. D. SENECA OFFICERS President .
