The Surgeon-A man who bleeds for his country– men. Dismay to Unskilled Surgeons-vVho, like the noc– turnal feline, mew-till-late and destroy patients.

Here's to the prettiest, Here's to the wittiest, Here's to the truest of all who are true Here's to the sweetest one, Here's to them all in one-here's to you.

Here's to American valor, May no war require it, but may it ever be ready for every foe . Here 's to a bird, a bottle and an open work stocking, There's nothing in this that's so very shocking. The bird came from Jersey., the bottle from France. The open-work stocking was seen at a dance..

Here 's to the tears of affection, May they crystallize as they fall, And become ·pearls, in after years To be worn in memory ..:if those whom we have loved. Hail to the graduating gir1; She's sweeter, far, than soine; For while she speaks she talks no slang And chews no chewing gum.
