BCOK ON This year the seniors of Highland High School, as'all seniors, have been confronted with one of the most serious decisions of life. They have faced the task of choosing a career, vocation, or occupation which is to become their life it v work. With the realization that they would soon graduate came the sudden realization that they were growing up: that their parents would not feed and clothe them forever: and that they must decide how they are most fltted to support themselves and to become useful. Some may choose to become teachers and carry on the noble work of preparing youth for life, others may choose to become judges or lawyers. Still others may wish to become ministers-bringing the word of God to the people, or doc- tors-safeguarding the health of the people. Those who choose these professions will naturally have to continue going to school to advance their education. I
