the following original poem was read
by Mrs f. II. Saxby;
Our brothers of Myrtle temple
The very best men in the state,
Are going to serve banquet,
The facts | am glad to relate.
This supper was given on purpose
That our new number would honored
be,
And would bring in other new members,
So dear TO you and me.
Our drillmaster Pitkin and helpers,
They roll up their sleeves and begin,
OF course each one is anxious,
The smiles of their sisters to win.
Sure, we'll be at the banquet,
We knew 'twould be so, from the first,
We appreciate our brothers offering
And our hearts are ready to burst.
Oh, we are so hungry we can hardly
wait,
Bring along your oysters and chocolate
cake,
Then bring us some coffee and pie too,
We are all so very hungry we don't
know what to do.
We cannot write any more for you;
There are Others to write and recite,
We're anxious to get at the banquet,
The attraction that brought us to-
night.
Chorus
The brothers banquet, the brothers ban
quet,
In the Pythian hall, you see,
4 Hurrah for the brothers. banquet,
Twas prepared for you and me.
Written by Mrs. James Bouldry.
