Assemblies on Sundays were always exciting...what with all the teams marching in, and all the singing. And while there was a definite focus on "white" and "green", our assemblies always ended with us singing something all together. The song that concluded our assembly was "See Them Go." We'd all stand up, and in a very orderly fashion, row by row, we'd exit the Senior Social Hall. I'm reminded of that song every time I'm at an event, and we all get up to leave at the same time....
See them go. (see them go)
Row by row (row by row)
Heads held high (heads held high)
Under the morning sky.
Who are these eager folks
Breasting their tempest alarm?
Who are these stalwart souls
Guarded so surely from harm
Their sword is justice, their shield is right
And knowledge leads them toward the light.
Their way is clear
What do they fear
Bearing the standards of Truth!
See them go... (repeat until all have exited.)
And we did go... While our summers were filled with activities and outings, not all of them were successful. In the 1965 Lenorlog, May Lisa Ross and Meg Simon wrote about the Lane's overnight that took place on July 26th.
"On the 26th, the Lane set out on their trip to Otis reservoir. When we got theire, there was--to our dismay, a graveyard across the road from our camp-site.
Our first adventure was canoeing to Dismal Swamp. On the way back, we got caught in a big wind. Some of us even had to be towed in by motor boat.
After dinner, we went visiting to Owaissa* and Romaca, who were also there. Once again, we give many thanks to Hank, Tex and Suzanne for a successful trip."
* How ironic...who would have guessed, that six years from that date, Owaissa would become the owner of Camp Lenore?
