Page Four HIGH LIFE September 27, 1929 „ ..r. P n * FORMER GRADUATE WRITES ESSAY FOR SCHOOL JOURNAL Author Says That Chemistry Today Stands At Threshold of New Era of Service. CHEMISTRY IS SUBJECT Henry Bigg Praises Chemists — They Have Made Diseases Less Dangerous. The fact that Henry Biggs, Jr., one of our own school graduates, has gotten an essay in the High School Journal makes us a whole student body very proud of him. Henry graduated from Greensboro High School in June, 1928. Henry expresses the rule that had it not been for chemistry we could have all kinds of diseases that before we had not heard of. Chemistry has discovered nature’s most guarded secrets, analyzed the findings, and reproduced with hard ly less perfection the treasure of its research. Had it not been for Harvey’s wonderful discovery of the circulation of the blood, we could not have avoided many disease which came from that source of trouble. Chemistry Has Three Objects “Constructive chemistry has three ma jor objectives: first, to prepare specific medicants for the cure or alleviation of specific diseases; second, to isolate, study, and, if need be, to artificially prepare pure organic principles of fundamental importance to life, secre tions of the body organs of which a de ficiency or an excess would cause disease; and, third, to achieve a com plete ultimate analysis of the constitu ents of the blood and the tissues, to gether with a complete ultimate analy- ' sis of the components of foods, so that complete knowledge of the body in health and what it needs to preserve its health may be established.” Chloril Was First Hypnotic Chloril was the first hypnotic to be produced, but because of it being so dangerous others were obliged to be developed, including neroval. Through the manufacture of addrenaline “blood less surgery” has been effected. Adren aline is an active principle of the su prarenal gland, and, when injected sub- entantaneously even in excessively small amounts, it produces so violent a con traction of the arteries that the blood is driven away from the infected tissues. Along the line of preventative medi cine mu(ih is being accomplished, espe cially the effort to reduce the danger of its use. Chemistry Should Progress Today chemistry stands at the thresh old of a new era of service; beyond are unlimited possibilities. In order to give his best the chemist must be free of the shackles which bind him to the ex plored fields of research,the rut trail, the established. Chemistry must con tinue its victorious march, 'fhe re sources of the world, the health and happiness of humanity are at stake. It is time to organize against a common foe in bitter chemical warfare to the death. ORCHESTRA TO MEET TUESDAY AFTERNOONS ‘‘Because so many students were un able to take orchestra this year, there will be a practice for such students each Tuesday afternoon,” said Mr. Earl Slo cum, director of the orchestra. A good many required subjects were scheduled |pr the seventh period; thus many pu pils were unable to take music. Each ‘Tuesday afternoon after school such pupils as these, who ■wish to keep up Ifcheir ■music, are urged to come to the liractice. “This will be held in the au ditorium and will be a good chance to keep in touch with the music depart ment,” declared Mr. Slocum.

First-baseman Farthing of Fish’s Fish unanimously declared the star of game. 5:00—Boating and swimming. 6:00—Trip to Lake James to watch sunset.

Singing led by Mr. Strickland and Dorothy McNairy. President Mor row’s solo, “Fairy Moonlight,” hit of the evening.

Box 1193 Phone 1666 Corner Asheboro and Trinity A reporter of High Life spent one whole day getting these facts. Look! Sports claim the most of G. H. students. “Prissy” White, “Red” Paris, Elizabeth Leak, Ethel Grey Rogers, and Boyd Morris. Music attracts a, good many— “Red” Paris, Guy Hope, Kate Wilkins, and Annie Laurie Felder. Quite a few have a chance to practice their hobby two times a day: “Lib” Leak, Lib Sock- well, and Dot Burnside. There are some who like particular phases of sports: Douggie Long and Sally Clegg, horse back riding; Red Goodwin, making touchdowns for G. H. S.; Beanie Curtis, knocking down our opponents; Ed Michaels, golf; and Leila George Cram, archery and horseback riding. There are a few who are too original. Harvey Anderson favors soda-jerking; J. Barnes is G. H. S.’s official barker. Douglas Cartland cla^s eating as his pet. James Strickland, bless his heart, spends his time in the publication room; and Su san Gregory works on Homespun. Rich ard Frazier draws for High Life, while Carl Kellam types. Mollie Harrison is forever reading. Maybe iome of you have never heard Clara Applewhite talk baby talk. She knows how. Or maybe you’ve heard Allen Stanley puffing away at that old bass horn. Have you ever seen Lois Lazenby’s collection of cats! By the w'ay, have you ever been cor rected by G. W. Stamper when you call him Everett? Lillian Hauck and Bunny High can swim, and how! We all know Harriet, and her good old yells for G. H. S. How about Harris Mitchell leading the band for the games? Ruth Marley accompanies for Mr. Miller’s glee clubs. And, last, but not least, Trudy Carver is making a scrap-book. Add others if you msh; we don’t care, as long as you suit yourself. (GREENSBORO.
