Here are 4 few "toasts" for club din

May the faults of our club officers
be dim and their virtues glaririg.'
May the club gates be ever open
to all children Of application"
May no club woman hurt her neigh
boris peace by the desire to appear
witty
May our faults be written on the
seashore, and every good action prove
a wave to wash them out"
May We all travel through the world
and SOW it thick with friendship"
Here's to the virtue that directs
our actions with respect to ourselves,
justice to those with whom we dea,,
mercy, love and charity to all man
kind"
