out of ev'ry day,
There's not a man in all the town who
better earns his pay.
A predecessor in this job once rose to
giddy heights,
Who knows but his'try may repeat
indulge your fancys flights
Colonel Thompson, all salute him,
he's a friend of man,
When it comes to doing things he is
the man who can;
He learned the trick of fighting upon
the bounding main,
And later was a Guardsman of Uncle
Sans domain.
Though now he is a Captain bold OF
industry, you'll find
The intrests of the Navy are always
in his mind.
Philip Andrews confirmation as a
chief was hung
Up in the Senate chamber, for the
sages cried, Hes young!!
Seniority's at stake, there's other guys
who have a hob,
They'd antedate, cooperate, amalga-
mate The job
Just suits their fate" But Philips
smile and ancient hat
OF Emerald green have won the day;
the lob Islands pat"
'Lisha Theall, don't forget him, he's
the boy who knows
All things about the Navy, and then
some, l suppose;
As clerk to the Committee on the Navy
in the House
He's the oracle for members, and can
their int'rest rouse.
He. too, once learned the fighting
game at old Annapolis,
And later turned Marine, SO please
to just remember this.
The Reformers' appeal to the tune
of Maryland, My Maryland" the sub
Joined lyric added much to the merri-
ment of the occasion:
Come, all We Keepers of the Cash,
Amalgamate, Amalgamate!
Come, all We bold Constructors rash,
Amalgamate, Amalgamate!
Come. take the titles of the Line,
Come, and adopt the fighters sign,
Come on in, all-the waters fine!
Amalgamate, Amalgamate!
Give Youth chance to show its
speed
Personnel o Personnel!
OF honor give young men their need
Personnel, o Personnel!
Don't crush ambition in it's flower,
Don't let the wine of Life turn sour
Do not deny each man his hour
Personnel, o Personnel!
Fill up your glasses, one and all,
Navy League, o Navy League!
And hearken to the toast we call,
Navy League, o Navy League!
Here's health to Padgett, staunch and
true!
Here's health to Capt. Roy Smith, too!
Here's health and wealth to me and
you
Navy League, o Navy League!
