A, hy 1, -5 A Pharmacist's Life Is a Funny Proposition PHARMACIST comes into this world without his cou- sent and leaves against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of eontraries and misunderstandings by the balance of the species. In his infancy he is an angelg in his boyhood days every one says he is a devilg in his early manhood he is everything from a snail up, in his dotage he is a fool! If he raises a family he is called a chump or a similar nameg if he raises a small check he is a thief and then the law raises the deuce with him. ' If he is a poor man, he is a poor managerg if he is rich, he is dishonest. If he is i11 politics, he is a grafterg if he is out of poli- tics, he cannot be placed as he is an undesirable citizen. If he is in church, he might be called a hypocriteg if he is out of church, he is an infidel. If he donates to foreign missions, he does it for showg if he does not, he is said to be stingy. When he first comes into this world, everybody wants to kiss himg before he goes out everybody would probably want to kick him. Should he die young, there would have been a great future be- fore himg should he live to a ripe age, he simply lived to save funeral CXP 611568. Life might be considered a funny road, but we all liketto travel it just the same. ' To all of vou Last Will and Testament who have not discovered your faces with their titles gracing these pages we, believing that upon this day we shall be no more, bequeath Highland Pharmics. All of you who feel the sting of some poor joke, remember that one small laugh outweighs a thousand groans. May the days at Old Highland be treasured in the memories of all Highlanders May success in the highest measure come to all, and may your lives be filled with thc vhoicest blessings that life can offer.

Iv I J a f Y' Ps 'A u f 'LI' .x ' .lvl l- . , ,A . . 1.13,- I - 4 .lt 1 F Why I Am a School Teacher CHOOL teaching is my profession. I must not lack the high cost of living. Even though it causeth me to rise up early each morning and go forth to battle with the common foe, ignorance, still the submarine perils of QV I-I an empty lunch basket, should I be a slacker, are too certain to befall mc. Evening approacheth and homeward I wend my weary way laden with mis- spelled manuscripts. With many applications of Heligas and Courtis tests do I spy out the enemy country. Though I desire to go to the movies or partake of friendly hospitality, I go not, for proper preparation of the daily task reqnireth my time. Though. I come to the summer vacation and hie me to the mountains, the summer school and the correspondence course pursue me. ' School teaching hath put its stamp upon me so that all my efforts to pose as a f armerlwhen I am away from home are useless. Yea all the learned talk of crop conditions availeth nothing. School teaching hath set its seal upon my personal- ity-and I am not ashamed. It delighteth my soul with many teachers' meetings. It encourageth me with hopes of a pension. Yea though I save as much as fifty dollars it addeth to the serenity with which I look forward to a peaceful old age to know that an an- nuity from the grateful state shall be my portion. It improveth my mind with many lectures and the perusal of pedagogical text hooks. ' It giveth me social standing in a world made up of men, women and school teachers. Even so am I classified. W It enricheth my soul with patience and long suffering. It giveth me opportunity for service. Yea though I faint with weariness, it rewardeth my soul with a dream of a better citizenship, a noble manhood and womanhood in which I shall have lent my share in bringing to fruition. Sometimes it bringeth me love and gratitudeg yea though I he abused and in- gratitude he my portion., may not the Master finally say, '4According to thy desire to do good and not evil, be it unto thee.
