right whale he is not merely an Apollo
or an Adonis, but is distinctly useful
He furnishes backbone and other support
for the female sex in general and, re-
port has 1t, for some of the masculine
military figures. So he can be said to
have backed up the promoters of many
worthy causes This, then, is a trait to
emulate.
Whale Generous Host
Think then, of the numerous ser
mons he has adorned and the many dis
cussions he has been instrumental In
starting. Te have been the subject in
teresting many bright minds is in
itself a distinction worth striving for.
He has become classic, as it were, a
tale to hand down to generations
FINALLY, the whale is a model of man
ners. His unique hospitality in talk
ing in a total stranger and entertain
ing him for three days and nights has
never been eXcelled up to this present &C.
casion, when the Crescent Bay club has
extended courtosies to 400 wayfarers.
81 am reminded here of the plight of a,
young but ambitious member of parlia-
ment, who, having long resolved upon
attempting some speech which should
astonish the house, at last rose very SOL
EMMY and after three loud hens, spoke
as follows: Mr.. Speaker, have we laws
or have we not laws? If we have laws
and they are not observed, to what end
are the laws made" So saying he sat
down. his chest heaving with the con-
seriousness of his eloquence; when another
member arose and delivered his thoughts
in these words Mr.. Speaker, did the
honorable gentleman speak to the pur-
pose or not to the purpose? If he did
not speak to the purpose, to what pur-
pose did he speak?
Reputation for Hospitalitv
ITO prevent any similar remark being
made on the conclusion of this outburst
of eloquence, Madam Toastmistress, L
wish to say, since this graduating class
has had an opportunity for months to see
the hearty support given all good causes
by the Crescent Bay club, and since the
clubs reputation for cordial hospitality is
hereby established and, further, since
this occasion has given us an interesting
story to tell our children and our chill
dren's children, we are fully convinced
that our hostess club has all of the
worthy characteristics of a whale, and 1
am here to confess that it is the inner
ambition of each little fish among us to
grow to just such proportions. And in
token of this we drink to the toast
Here's to Crescent Bay club, long
may she live and greater may she grow"
