My Country and My Fellowmen:

Our country is as great as we, its citizens make it.  Therefore, I
pledge my loyalty to its ideals and to its endeavors for the
welfare of mankind;

I shall strive to practice true patriotism and to fulfill my civic
obligations in my own community by interested participation in
its activities.

My Vocation and My Fellow Workers:

My vocation merits my best services and offers me real oppor-
tunities for growth and efficiency in doing my share of the
world ís work. Therefore, I shall study its aims, its methods, and
its product that I may intelligently promote its interests and
improve the quality of its service to others.

I shall cooperate with my fellow workers in a spirit of cheerful-
ness, of readiness to share, and of appreciation of the efforts of
others;

I shall seek success by an ever-increasing sense of true values ?
a realization of the highest business ideals through honest effort,
fair dealing and lofty ambition tempered by humility of spirit.

Altrusa and Myself:

Altrusa offers to the representative business and professional
women of the community an opportunity to touch each othersí
lives and to be broadened by an interchange of interests, and by
a sympathetic consideration of the viewpoints of others.
Therefore, I shall try to exemplify Altrusa ís ideals of fellowship,
of service to other business women and of self-improvement.
I shall demand of myself a wholesome balance of work and
play, a broad and impersonal attitude of mind in my relationship
to others and a true loyalty to womanhood.

As an Altrusan, I shall endeavor to develop right attitudes
toward work, toward people, toward life.
