‘'This Is Your Fate...
Heed My Warning’
By
BULL ILER
FABLEOUS QUOTES:
Miss Parker: “No Nhus is good
news!”
Miss Mims (In referring to the
book, Animal Farm): “Joan,
why isn’t the title capitalized?”
Joan McNairy: “Why, because it’s
un-capitalistic!”
Eddie Strange: (viewing freshly
painted, red and white cheer
leader stand): “This sure is a
sloppy job for a trade school.”
Ed McLean (agreeing): “They
must have sent their first year
painters.”
THAT’S VERY PUNNY:
Ivey Jessup; “Did you see the
Straight of Magellan?”
Randy: “Year, but he beat me. I
only had two pair.”
Davie C. tells us that Magellan
went around the world in 1521—
not too many strokes when you
consider the distance.
Ali; “Does your family live here
in Arabia?
Baba; “No. My father makes suit
cases in Iraq.”
Ali: “Oh, a bag-dad!”
A blood bank ran this sign:
“Please keep your appointments
promptly. Let’s not get caught
with our pints down.”
Jane’s father is now in prison
and very popular. He’s the lifer
of the party.
“Well, son, what did you learn
in Sunday school today?”
“We learned all about a cross
eyed bear named Gladly.”
“About a what?”
“Yes, Daddy. We learned a song
about him: All about ‘Gladly, the
cross I’d bear’.”
Dentist: “Will you take a local
anesthetic?”
Pat (patient): “No, I want this
over quickly. I better take the
express.” But he took the local
anyway, because the doctor was
expressionless.

Within the next ten years no
one win have to be style conscious.
The reason very simply is manu
facturers will have out just one
style which will be in vogue at
least five years to cut down living
expenses and grouchy husbands
and fathers.
Why would manufacturers do
that unless they want to go bank
rupt. There is a very simple rea
son. It was foolish for them to put
out so many styles and poor eco
nomics because the bulk of the
people would latch on to one style
and none of the others would sell.
Conformitism at this time was
heading toward its peak going
ninety miles an hour on a one way
street. Now that people dressed
exactly alike, the next step was for
them to act alike. Back in 1963 it
was almost accomplished. People’s
actions in similar conditions was
almost identical. They even started
talk and imitate each other ac
tions. Ths was the first step to a
uniform race. It occurred not only
in the U. S. but all over the world
in the exact same way.
By 1978 this trend was well on
its way. All races of man had van
ished to a new race known as the
conformiod. This race is remark
able in si much as everybody was
the exact same shape and had the
exact same features except for a
few minor variations which were
ironed out by 1983. Besides look
ing alike they walked and did
everything just alike. Speech,
manners, were almost perfect.
1983 marked the height of the
development of this race. By this
year everything was perfect. The
race had attained maximum brain
power by the work of fast simul
taneous mutations which occured
because of everybody trying to act
alike. 1983 will be also remember
ed because it marked the date of
the degeneration of this race
which happened almost as fast as
it happaned. The people gradually
grew smaller and hair started to
grow longer on their body. Their
toes grew together and slowly
they were on all fours.
Now you asked could not sci-
ientists during the brief period
of 1983 have found a way to elim
inate their terrible fate. No, no
body thought, and it came on them
so suddenly they could not do a
thing about it, they were helpless.
This is your fate earthmen, heed
my warning and turn away from
your fate. I know because I have
traveled from the futi/re to tell
you.
The men in the room were as
tounded to hear this story from
the univac as translated from the
sheep. What could they do? If
they told the people, they would
be scorned like the individualist
of the past, and they were con
formist. These men, if you are
generous with the word, kept their
mouth shut, so now we must pay
for their cowardice.

I am a girl who would like to
pass on some valuable information
to all guilty males. You see, I once
went steady with a very popular
boy. but I dropped him because
he had one very sickeningly nasty
habit. This habit was all due to
his abundant crop of very long,
black, slick, greasy hair. He had
his hair cut only so often, and it
was long enough to braid. I don’t
know just what sort of tonic or
oil he used on his hair, but what-
ever it was. it smelled like dead
whales and I’m sure that if he
tried he could get a job on tele

A Career In
Biochemistry
By PROFESSOR WILLIAM D. McELROY
Chairman, Department of Biology
The Johns Hopkins University
editor’s note: This is one of a series of special articles
on various careers being distributed to high school news
papers by The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md,
Late in the 19th century, lead
ing scientists discovered that the
substances in animal and plant
tissue obey the ordinary laws of
chemical combination. They also
found that many substances had
structures simple enough to be
duplicated in the test tube. The
study of these processes became
known as biochemistry.
Biochemistry is concerned not
merely with chemical content of
natural products, but also with
chemical reactions that occur in
living systems. These reactions
are often fundamental to various
manifestations of life, including
growth, reproduction and even
movement. Biochemists are cur
rently searching for the answers
to such questions as: What is the
chemical basis of heredity? How
do green plants convert sunlight
into chemical energy? and scores
of other scientific mysteries which
influence our lives.
BASIC RESEARCH
Since World War II, knowledge
in the field of biochemistry has
increased at an unprecedented
rate, both in the accumulation of
new knowledge and in the grow
ing number of new research areas.
The solution of practically every
problem today shows us another
problem exists. The result is a
growing demand for biochemists
to study this myriad of questions.
A great number of biochemists
are employed by colleges and
universities, where they teach as
well as conduct basic research.
Medical institutions, research in
stitutes and governmental and in
dustrial laboratories also need
good biochemists. Many indus
tries concerned with the process
ing of food and the manufacture
of drugs and cosmetics, as well
as the chemical and petroleum
fields need qualified biochemists
for both basic and applied re
search. Huge government research
programs involved with missiles
and space travel, public health
problems and agriculture offer
excellent opportunities.
CURIOSITY
A good academic background
is a necessity for the prospective
biochemist. One interested in the
field should become thoroughly
grounded in biology, chemistry,
physics and mathematics—and be
prepared to spend at least seven
or eight years beyond high school
in preparation and study.
If you arc normally curious,
are seriously interested in science
and arc willing to devote your
life to challenging research, bio
chemistry may be the field for
you. The best way to learn more
about the field is to talk with as
many professional biochemists as
you can. In addition, information
sources may be obtained from the
American Society of Biological
Chemists, 9650 Wisconsin Ave
nue, N.W., Washington 14, D. C.

Even then when we go to a movie.

Interact Begins Prefect
On International Understanding
The Interact Club of Grimsley
High School, which is sponsored
by Rotary of Greensboro, has be
gun work on it’s new project on
international understanding.
The purpose of the project is
the betterment of International re
lations. and to accomplish this the
club is co-ordinating two film
shows consisting of a catalogue of
film slides and explanatory infor
mation. The shows will have the
city of Greensboro as their main
topic and will show various facets
of life in our town which are of
importance. Once completed, the
shows will be sent to the interna
tional Rotary magazine, whereby
the 177 Interact clubs in twenty-
four countries around the world
will be able to acquire them.
Interact vice-president, Stuart
Bull, is serving as project chair
man. Working under him as heads
of the different committees are
Phil Weaver, educational commit
tee; Mike Cowhig, religion; Dean
Rogers, industries; recreation, Ken
Kinney; business, Barry Kiser:
public service. Bennet Boyles.
Soon to be formed, is a committee
to compile a brochure for the in
formation.
Each committee is to take about
35 pictures of various establish
ments or organizations which
would come under it’s topic and
obtains the needed information to
explaining the pictures. For ex
ample, under education would be
slides showing the campuses and
important buildings of all of
Greensboro’s colleges and several
of the grammar, junior and high
schools.
The industries committee will be
getting shots and information from
such places as P. Lorillard Co.,
J. P. Stevens, Cone Mills, Bimling-
ton Ind., and many other repre
sentative companies.
Under religion, will be shown
the more outstanding places of
worship in Greensboro along with
material about architecture, etc.
The project has been greatly
aided by Rotary advisor, Mr. Pete
McMillan, who has donated the
photo equipment, and many hours
of technical assistance. Also, giv
ing assistance in the project are
Rotary member, Mr. Jack Watson,
and Mr. Colson, who is the school
advisor for the club.
