To Hiram Francis Brey

(Tune: A Long, Long, Trail A-Winding)

There's a long Highway a-winding

Into Porterville today,

Where the Valley Club is dining

With our old Chum-HIRAM BREY.

In the land of rose and; orange

We are happy to be here

To celebrate the birthday

Of a friend we hold so dear.

In the fellowship extending

Thru the years until today

You've advised us and inspired us

And You've cheered, us on our way. When the future looked so gloomy

With the market going bad

Our book accounts a-soaring

When the "CASFI ON HAND" looked sad, You have seen a brighter future

And you've given us good cheer

Though the dark clouds seemed to threaten

And the thunder rolled so near.

You've predicted that the rainbow

Would soon be peeping lhru

That the clouds we'd thot were leaden

Would soon fade to azure blue

So for all good cheer you've given

For your prophecies come true

We thank vou-UNCLE HIRAM

Oh, We think you, Yes we d'o.

Then we're happy, very happy

To be here to celebrate

This day with UNCLE HIRAM

Though he's long past twenty-eight

We are surely glad we've known you

And we're glad we're here today

So we'll tell the world we love you

UNCLE HIRAM FRANCIS BREY.
