in Athens long ago young and old

Tme "Athens the Beautiful." Thie
w*s the pledge of the Athenian youths
I and maidens and the pledge of all who
L came to dwell within the Athenian
I catw- wil1 never bring disgrace
I fo this, our city, by any act of disf
honesty or cowardice; nor ever desert
I our comrades; we will fight for the
Meals and sacred things of the city,
both alone and with many; we will
revere and obey the city laws and do
| our bfat to incite a like respect and
reverence in others; we will strive unceasingly
to quicken the public's sense
| 0f civic duty, and thus in all these
j ways, we may transmit this City,
greater, better and more beautiful
; jban it was transmitted to us." What
B a noble pledge, and how worthy of
I- irnittt't"'! today! Wjth a pledge like
\t ^at made and kept by our people our
town would indeed be ^Camden the

her sunniest smiles upon this spot
I among the pines and the possibilities
are great. Let us then make the Ath1

I would pay to ho King." That homage

have passed since "Sfs deaths And in
their failure to honor him; the people
of South Carolina have Bhow.ii remissness.""
