MY REAL WORTH __ _...,. __ The more important part of me ••• Is not what I am worth ••• But how much good my life can do •••For others on this earth ••• For I may have enormous wealth •• And carry quite a name ••• And never share a particle ••• or money or of fame ••• My worldly goods and glory are ••• Of little use to me ••• Unless they bring some benefit ••• To my community ••• Unless I try to overcome ••• My selfishness and pride ••• And show my neighbors that I have ••• A more considerate side ••• The only real, substantial worth ••• That I posses · today •••·Is not the sum I gather, but ••• how · much I give away. - J.J. Metcalfe.

Gantenbein Williams, Ethel - San Francisco, California Dixon, Clifford- · Los Angeles, California ********** CLUB SONG (Tune, "'.):'he Old Refrain") With heart and hands we strive to do the best; Our eyes upon the highest peak doth rest; Honor and culture both we have in view, Friendship and Loyalty and courage, too - As onward up the path we daily go; ·we falter much, our steps are often slow. But for God's helping grace we daily pray; His hands for us will ever point the way; So to our tasks we go / without a fear; We know "To labor 1s a pleasure" here; . A smile and song for all along the way - The Culture Club lives on from day to day. - Emma Walker
