Illinois Verse/Sachem Calls
Sachem Calls
One spring night of the college yearSachem's warriors proud appear.After Varsity's band is goneStill all linger on the lawnWatching braves in blankets brightMerge from shadow into light,Forming into one long lineAs the chief makes mystic sign.
Loud and clear is called each nameLucky sophomore picked for fame!Proudly he rises to grasp the handHeld out by each of that war-like band.Quickly he mounts, as those before,Reaches the Auditorium door;Passes he then out of sightEager for the secret rite.
