The "Evergreen Song" is sung together by the members at all the meetings, as well as "Friendship" by Hoesche after solemn rememberance of deceased members. The Club is also treated to a special session of musical entertainment at all the meetings. One of the Club's time-honored customs of informality is that a "speech" given by one of the members may be interuupted at any time. At the closing of the meeting, all join hands and sing "Auld Lang Syne."


The Invocation
Be present at our table, Lord
Be here and everywhere adored,
These mercies bless and grant that we,
May feast in fellowship with Thee. Amen.


The Evergreen Song, or as originally titled "Hearts Evergreen" by Willard Patton in 1920.
We are here again
Old boys, young men,
To renew the friendship of years
And the way we chime
is a halting rhyme
Shot through with laughter and tears
Tho' our heads grow bare
With the autumn air
Or white with the wintry snow
Our hearts evergreen
With summer's bright sheen
Still keep time to the long ago.
Let the maid and swain in
Light refrain
Sing of love that never will end
There's a joy as pure
That shall long endure
Deep in the heart of a friend
So here's to each soul
Striving on to its goal
And here's to each heart and hand
May we steadfast abide
Til we cross the dark tide
To the shores of that heavenly land.
Friendship Song by Hoesche
O sweeter than the honey-well
Deep in the sweetest rose in June,
And all sweet things that tongue can tell
On clover scented afternoon,
Is friendship that has lived for years
Through fortune, failure, and through tears.
Tho' he wears it sacredly
Be swarted as the rafters are
That shelter him, eternity
May hold few Jewels half so rare;
And God will find for such a friend
Some sweeter slumber in the end,
And God will find for such a friend
Some sweeter slumber in the end.
