14 THE CLARION either gym or campus. But to use a classic expression, Robert Fulton built the first steamboat with a pen knife and a hammer, and where there ' s a will, there ' s a way. If there were enough red blooded men in the College of Pharmacy who wanted a football team, and were willing to work after they got it. I don ' t think there would be very much trouble in getting permission to use the gridiron in Central Park. Of course it is too late for the present Senior Class to do anything, but if those men who intend to follow the three year course and the present Juniors get together what a lot could be accomplished. Think it over University men and Juniors. — Jack Lawlev. BtttWBB THE ultimate goal which spurs on every individual to his or her best is that mystic and wonderous word Success. It is the most precious gift of Dame Fortune, and we must be ever mind- ful that she does not bestow such gfts upon us for the mere asking. The road to success is a long and narrow path, which can only be reached by perpetual perserverance and conscientious work, or to use a popular expression, bull dog tenacity, and stick-to-itiveness. Unfortunately it has been the opinion among some of us that the only obstacle between us and success, is that preliminary step in life, which in our case is a two year college course. In realty, however, our college life represents the happiest days that we shall ever have, for upon its termination we shall have to face the world, we shall be thrown upon our own resources to overcome those difficulties which daily arise, and it is then that the real test begins. To reach the top of the ladder in one spurt is impossible. We must climb step by step, and wit h utmost caution. For us the chances of success in Pharmacy, are better than ever before in the history of the profession. The public has begun to realize that the pharmacist is a professional man, and he is now receiving a salary which is relative to his standing in the social scale. Chances of advancement are always within his grasp, and best of all, his hours are now regulated so that he may lead the life of a human being. Eventually, and it is sure to come, Pharmacy will be placed on a par with professions such as Medicine. Legislative movements and daily additions are steadily being made to the College Entrance Re- quirements which will inevitably raise Pharmacy in the estimation of the public. So therefore fellow students, let us get together and pull for the one grand rise of Pharmacy, which will indirectly mean the personal success of each and every one of us. Put forth your best endeavors for Pharmacy and your labors will be repaid by an inde- pendent position in the social world. By F. Monteferrante.

16 THE C LA RIO N By JACK LAWLEY SHE was just an opening rose bud, cultivated in a loving- family. and surrounded by cultured friends. Finding life a friendly path- way and its trials mere mole holes, easily overcome. He was plain, cold and untutored in the ways of social pleasantrys. His mind was miles and miles from his body, spending much of his time alone, and when in company, generally with men older than him- self. As a pastime he studied life. In short the girl — A charming belle. The boy — A plain man ' s man. At fates decree, like the opposite poles of a magnetic needle, these two opposites were drawn together. To the girl he was a new acquaintance, — to the boy she was a new study. They met at a social gathering and mere acquaintance grew into friendship. They called themselves pals, and tho they spent much time together they remained — just pals. She to whom he was just one more in a long list of friends soon tired of his companionship and as gently as the Arabs who noiselessly told their tents and silently slip away, so gradually did their moments together become less frequent, and another more fortunate man. more apt in the handling of such delicacies stepped in. He, to whom she had been but a study, now caused him to ex- perience, not an affection but rather a relationship which can only be crudely termed, real friendship, a zest to watch and protect, to be an unseen and unknown promoter of her interests, to be the silent avenger of her wrongs, and in return accept — nothing.
