f'f i'f if.i- ' 'c V' 'W .fr +:f'--wewwfagtpv Vocations, Good and Bad Be what Nature intended you for, and you will succeedg be anything else, ana' you will he ten thousand times worse than nothing. -SYDNEY SMTH As occupations and professoins have a powerful influence upon the length of human life, the youth should first as- certain whether the vocation he thinks of choosing is a healthy one. Statesmen and judges are noted for their longevity. Scientists and mathematicians and others who have dwelt upon the exact sciences seem to have escaped many of the ills from which humanity suffers. Great students of natural history have also, as .1 rule, lived long and happy lives. The occupation of the mind has a HILLIS great influence upon the health of the body. The pursuit of science tends to long life by its atmosphere of harmony. We shall probably find more old men on farms than elsewhere. There are many reasons why farmers should live longer than persons residing in cities or than those engaged in other occupations. There is no doubt that aspiration and success tend to prolong life. Prosperity tends to longevity. if we do not wear or burn it out in the feverish pursuit of wealth. In choosing an occupation, cleanliness, pure air, sunlight and freedom from cor- roding dust and poisonous gases are of the greatest importance. There is danger in a calling which requires great expenditure of vitality at long, irregular intervals. He who is not regularly, systematically employed incurrs perpetual risks. Select a clean, useful occupation. If there is any doubt on this point, abandon it at once, for familiarity with bad business will make it seem good. Choose a business that has expansiveness in it. Choose an occupation which will develop youg which will elevate youg which will give you a chance for self-improvement and promotion. You may not make quite so much money. but you will be more of a man, and manhood is above all riches, overtops all titles, and rharaeter is greater than any career.

The Yogi's Busy Day Looking through the crystal ball of the Yogi, we see many strange faces appearing but with another glance the haze begins to clear and the faces come so near that we rec- ognize them. To be sure, they are the teachers of Elwood High coming back to us in our last year. There's Mr. Lindley, the very first one, still trying to teach the seniors English S., and nothing seems to thwart him. Next we see Miss Grosswege with a group of freshmen gathered around her. She appears calm and confident that nothing is impossible. Mr. Forney appears next, making us all remember his flood of tests. We see Mrs. Records bending over permits with a knowing twinkle in her eye as if she knows why Billy Wgiimn is absent so many limes. Miss Robertson appears with a pan in one hand and needles in the other. We congratulate Miss Roberton on her success of her first year 'at Elwood High School. If we look again we see Virginia McDermitt reading over her account books. How well we remember her on the gymnasium floor. Next our at- tention is called to Mr. Kratle, a taetful personage, who sends his pupils out better fitted for life. The light seems to be fading and the faces appear more and more rapidly. Miss Allen appears trying to teach the freshmen good English and make them believe that she is stern, but we know better. Now it is a man's face we see-wait, it is two. lfrom their very actions, their walk across the floor, we can't help but be enthused. Do you know who it is? Right you are. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hosier. Merry laughs greet our ears and we see Miss Nuzum warning the freshmen of Latin and Miss McCammon saying, Parlez-vous francais? The light becomes still brighter and we see Miss Koons leading a group of seniors through the happiest four years of their lives. Wfith the faces going faster we can still recognize Mr. Wfaymire out catching bugs and Mr. Davis trying to tell us the advantages of a farmer. Mr. House comes to us now in a whirring noise of machines in the Manual Training room. As the light starts growing dimmer Mr. Nuding is seen telling us shall and will are very particular about their use. and Mr. Brown is with him, only he is in the midst of a speech. And now who is it? XVhy, if it isn't Miss Cox trying to explain to those coneeited seniors what the gold standard is. Mr. Ash- ton hurries by stopping only long enough to tell us a joke, and he is followed by Miss Foote quoting, All of Gaul is divided into three partsf, No wonder. we murmur, Elwood turned out such a good football team, as we gaze upon Mr. Shinn. His likeable personality radiates good sportsmanship. fciilllffllllftl In Pngi' 313 4' -if 13 lk- f
