New Science Building To
Sprout On Grimsiey Campus
In an address to the GHS
Faculty last week, Supt. W. J.
House announced plans for the
construction of a new science
building.
The new science building, to
be built at an approximate cost'
of nearly $10 million, will re
place the existing science build
ing. The present building will be
moved to another section of the
city, although officials declined
to comment on the future use of
the facility.
The project, which is to re
quire the entire three months of
the summer vacation, is slated to
begin the first part of May with
excavations around the perimeter
of the present building in order
to simplify the moving of the
building and to accommodate the
larger foundation of the proposed
building.
The blueprint, which has been

finished for over a year, was
drawn up after consultations with
the head of the science devart-
ment at N.C. State University and
the head of the science depart
ment at Grimsiey, Mrs. Kate C.
Everhart.
In presenting the plans for the
new science building, a fifteen
page outline, containing plans for
coostruction facilities to be
housed in the new building, and
policies concerning the use of the
building, was given to all mem
bers of the faculty.
However, the teachers and oth
er members of the faculty were
asked to keep this information
secret in order that little re
sistance would arise. Dr. House
commented that he felt that he
was certain that some dissent
would be voiced but that he
hoped to get the project started
before any sizable dissent would
threaten the postponement or
possible cancellation of the proj
ect.
The structure, which will be
composed of four floors, will con
tain a large lecture room, which
can be separated into four class
rooms, and ten regular classrooms
similar to those in the present
building on the first floor.
Four laboratories, two chemical
and two biological, will be housed
in the basement of the complex.
Also, a garage for the two ter-
restial mobile lab units will be in
the far end of the building.
On the second floor of the new
building will be more classrooms
of larger size than the rooms on
the first floor. In addition to the
classrooms, there will be a solar
lab. Along with the coming of the
solar lab comes the addition of
a new course.
The new course will be a
course on solar energy and will
replace one semester of sopho
more biology. Mrs. Everhart ex
pressed her eagerness to add
the new course to the science',
curriculum; “I am glad that now
all sophomores will have a choice
of what field of science they
want to study. In the future, we
hope to expand sophomore sci
ence into more than just two
course offerings. We realize that
many students are not getting
anything out of the present pro
gram. We want to change that
problem.”
On the roof of the complex
will be an observation deck. This
deck, with a two-way radio, will
be used by instructors wishing to
communicate with students on
field trips in the mobile labs.
Also on the observation deck
will be a stationary high powered
telescope to be used for viewing
night constellations. Asked for
the reason for the need for a
telescope and observatory, Mrs.
Everhart said that a summer
school course is planned for the
summer of ’74 which deals with
astronomy.
The question also revealed
plans to let area students in the
Junior Highs tour the facility
in hopes that more students will
concentrate on a science educa
tion while in High School.
Woman Beats Mule Off
Husband With Pitchfork
In a heroic rescue, Mrs. Estelle
Karbunkle saved the life of her
husband. Fester, at their home in
Biscoe, N.C.
Mrs. Karbunkle was in the bam
bailing hay when she heard the
sounds of a scuffle outside. “I
knowed it was an emergency right
off,” stated Mrs. Karbunkle. Arm
ed with a pitchfork she ran out
side and saw Fester Karbunkle
being savagely attacked by their
donkey, Sam.
Mrs. Karbunkle bravely chased
the donkey away, enabling Mr.
Karbunkle to crawl to safety un
der a nearby pick-up truck.
When asked if any legal action
would be taken against their
neighbors and Sam, the donkey,
she replied “AW NAH. Sam’s
a good ole boy. Him and Fester
usually get along jest fine. But
I sure wish the neighbors would
get their a— outahere.”

Grimsiey Chapter Of NDS
Prepares Induction Rites
As has been the tradition in
years past, the NDS (National
Dishonor Society) of GHS will
hold its induction ceremonies on
April 3. The ceremony will begin
on Campus Drive, where the
prospective candidates will be
given a sufficient quantity of bev
erage to impair vision and will
then attempt to get in their
jacked-up cars without the aid of
a step ladder.
After this part of the ceremony,
a victory toast will be given for
those who pass this first test.
After the toast, those who are
still conscious will advance to the
next trial. This one involves find
ing a busy intersection, climbing
a telephone pole, and imitating a
traffic light. This feat is usually
accomplished by using the back of
the neck to simulate the stop
signal, but some of the more

imaginative NDS members quaff
an unusually large amount of
Boone’s Farm, wait till their face
turns green, and then simulate
the “go” signal. (However, this
method usually results in many
complaints from passing motirists
concerning traffic lights which
regurgitate all over their wind
shields. )
The third and final test comes
when the ceremony moves to the
footsball parlor. Here, each in
ductee is required to enter this
parlor, approach any large fellow
that has an interesting-looking in
signia on his black leather jacket,
and make a snide remark about
his ancestry.
If the inductee manages to
avoid getting torn apart, he be-
comes a full-fledged member of
the elite National Dishonor So
ciety.

Many students are ignorant of
the finer aspects of education of
fered to Greensboro High School
students in the wide curriculums
of their subjects.
The Grimsiey Choral Depart
ment is classified in this cate
gory. Don Frill, Director of the
Choral Department says, “Most
students misinterpret even the
simplest procedures involved in
the fine arts.”
HIGH LIFE, in an attempt to
help students to better under
stand and appreciate the hard
work and preparation, not to
mention having the tickets print
ed, will give you some highlights
of the music scene.
Mr. Frill explained to our rov
ing reporter. “The real purpose
for a director to wave his arms
during performances and rehear
sals is not necessarily to keep
the beat of the music, but to get
the attention of the group.” He
added, “Controlling the students
with a strict class room discip
line tends to curb their creative
trends and also inhibits their gen
ius results.”
When Mr. Frill was asked
about a performance last year
when he tripped going off stage,
he replied by saying, “This was
a publicity stunt to advertise the
Choir and Band trip to Europe.
This stunt was suggested to me
by my agent and gave the trip a
tremendous boost. Most students
came back in the fall.”
In closing, Mr. Don Frill an
swered a question frequently
asked. “No, that is not anyone
being flayed or whipped, but it
is merely my students teacher
warming up the Choir.”
Thank you, Mr. Frill.
