# You and Me for Utah

<!-- page:65 -->

You and Me for Utah"

 It is the solemn creed of a mighty state. It is the voice of that prophetic spirit that raised the stars and stripes on Ensign Peak. Its homely words speak the thought that framed an en- lightened state constitution. Its urge has carried us to the very peaks of education and industry. It inspires the words of our poets, and sings in the music of our composers. It tints the pig- ments of our artists and guides the hands of our sculptors. It is the magic incantation that has wrought a wonderful transforma- tion. It is the Aladdin's lamp which will provide for our state every blessing a commonwealth may wish. May it echo forever among the peaks of the Wasatch: "You and me for Utah!" — Will Dobson.
