Q65 SUM Should you ask me what the seniors. What we maids of Posse-Nissen, Will remember of our camp life, That we spent in field and forest, I should answer, I should tell you, We shall think of all our classes, Of our sports and our athletics, Of the noisy, friendly chatter, Of the songs sung in the evening, Songs of fun, and songs of fancy, Of the murmur of the pine trees, With the wind among the branches, Of the quiet walks together, Through the damp and dusk of evening. Oft at twilight we would paddle With some friendly Nissen maiden, Up the creek, that led to westward, Ever winding, winding, onward, There in some still nook we idled, Gazing at the Hery sunset, At the glory of the sunset, As the evening sun descending. Set the clouds on Hre with splendor, There we then would sit and ponder Of the beauties of all nature, Of the added wealth of wisdom That we gained at Posse-Nissen. Honor be to Posse-Nissen! To her leaders and directors! As into the world we venture, As we onward turn our footsteps, May we often pause and render Tribute due to Posse-Nissen. F' fl ff:-Jzvzx

Q65 SUM Then it was we happy maidens, Did enjoy great fun and frolic, Teaching to these newer sisters, All that we had learned of camp lore. But alas! misfortune met us: Gitche Manito, the Mighty, Caused great rain to come upon us, Come with torrents down upon us, Flooding all the fields and bridges. But we dauntless Nissen maidens, Gallantly did show our courage, Braved the weather, not complaining, Did our work with great decision, Played our games as was our custom, Went long journeys from our campland Cooked our meals on fires we kindled, Made our beds beneath the pine trees, Rested then until the morning When we rose up bright and early, All desirous to be warmer. Turned we then our weary footsteps, Homeward to our sturdy cabins. Faded soon the Moon of Roses, Bringing to a close our camptimc, But before the Red Moon setteth, Back again we quickly hastened. Worked we there with greatest fervor, Strove we hard in competition, Learning much in lore of woodland, Gaining much in strength and vigor. All too soon our camp life ended: Ended was our forest freedom: Gone our days of outdoor living, With the friendship of our sisters. One great feast we all attended: One last council all together Ere we turned our faces homeward. Sad were we as then we parted, Parted from Camp Posse-Nissen. From our much loved Posse-Nissen. ll061
