E CLAMPUS VITUS

The Clamper's Creed

As I pass through life, may I always be humble;

May I never take myself seriously;

May I always appreciate a little of the ridiculous;

May I always be a two-fisted Clamper

when the bottle passes my way and if I imbibe,

and can't hold it like a man,

then may I always be able to pass it to the next brother;

May I never forget the stout-hearted

men who settled a great western wilderness and the heritage we have today.

May I never fail to appreciate a bit of western lore.
