sure or fault,
Add your own choice of favoring,
and large pinch of salt.
Beat lightly together, place in large
tin,
And with oven just right, set your
lovely cake in.
Bake slowly two hours or till its baked
through,
For raw inside, you know never would
do.
When cold, you may frost and twill
surely look fine
And grace any table when ready to
dine.
And Pm sure you'll agree, that we've
made no mistake
In using this rule for our clubs birth
day cake.
Eight years we have struggled and
labored together
Sometimes in bright sunshine, some
times in dark weather.
But whether in sunshine, in clouds or
in rain,
Or whate,er may befall us. the moral
is plain
Our Clubs like this fruit cake in vari-
Gus Ways.
There are elements here which we
surely should praise,
And we'll win great respect here with
out the least doubt
If dissension and envy we will only
cast out.
And let us resolve ere the year runs
its length
That we'll stand by each other, for In
union there's strength.
