Some football players out there are brain surgeons. Like Myron Rolle for Some football players out there are brain surgeons. Like Myron Rolle for example. Others may or may not have Down’s syndrome. Like Hakeem Nicks for example. Nicks (seen above illustrating how many times he attended English class while at UNC), one of the top receivers in this year’s draft, posted an 11 on the Wonderlic exam. Just for comparison, here’s what some average Joe’s scored on the wonderlic, by profession: Chemist – 31, Programmer – 29, Journalist – 26, Sales – 24, Bank teller – 22, Clerical worker – 21, Security guard – 17, Warehouse – 15. Scoring a 10 is considered ‘literate’. So, when you look at the numbers, you can basically infer that your office secretary is twice as smart as Hakeem Nicks. Also, if/when he tears his ACL and football is done for him, he may or may not be qualified enough to work in a warehouse. Yay for UNC academics!!!!!

lol. Well done. What was Vince Young’s score again? Wasn’t it a single-digit number?
5 dollar footlong?
I think he was trying to show the camera half of his Wonderlic score.
Looks whos talking, you cant even write a one paragraph article with any competence. I dont think its a coincidence that your “work” is published on some random shit-ass website.
Thanks for spending the time to debate this, I really feel strongly about it and love studying more on this topic. If attainable, as you develop into an expert, would you mind updating your weblog with more details?
thnk you for sahring

I believe the color photographs, if they are indeed Kodachrome. had to have been manipilated in some fashion, my guess is photoshop.

Kodachrome was strictly an amature film, it was very difficult for printers, particularly if there were flesh tones involved, to crate good reproductions in print. Kodachrome has larger than life colors, many of them super saturated especially in the reds. These images do not show any of the typical color ranges and contrast that are inherent in Kodachrome. In fact I was frequently asked by printers/engravers during the 50’s era, to creat a duplicate on ektachrome film so it cold be reproduced more faithfully.
These problems can be overcome easily in Photoshop. The harsher, in your face color and contrast of Kodachrome, so beloved by amatures can be made much more realistic and contemorary by using any number of digital imaging programs.
The photoshop “expert” who, in an earlier comment claims that you cannot color a black and white image convincingly with that program, seems to be unaware that it can be done extremely convincingly. Apparently he/she has never seen some of the work converting black and white to color on
If I saw photographs of white people taken by another race titled “Those peculiar ghosty-faces” I’d laugh my ass off. Negro is another word for black. We don’t call them Negroes anymore because everyone uses the word “black” now for that color. So now we call them “Blacks,” depending on who is listening. They call themselves Blacks too, depending on who is listening.
The only reason racism still exists is because we let it — by getting up in arms over an antiquated word and condemning people for things that we ourselves are guilty for. It will be some time before people really coexist together in the essence of true harmony. But in the meantime we can admit that we’re all human, we all hate everyone else for stupid reasons, and just get on with our lives and try not to be such jerks.

Thanks for this terrific collection of pictures. I don’t typically browse the LoC myself, so I really appreciate that you’ve extracted these gems for us all to see. They definitely help such a bygone era seem more real. The picture of the “camouflage class” especially did this for me, because you can see with such exquisite detail the hair, makeup, clothes, and other accessories that defined that time. It makes our own fashion seem so transient.
I suggest that you accept the adjective. It is considerably more benign than others earned by the past President, his mentors, collaborators, and now
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would appreciate your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
Thanks for your posting on this site. From my experience, occasionally softening way up a photograph might provide the photography with a chunk of an inventive flare. Often however, this soft clouds isn’t just what you had under consideration and can sometimes spoil a normally good image, especially if you anticipate enlarging this.
I’d constantly want to be update on new content on this internet site, bookmarked!

The core of your writing while sounding agreeable at first, did not really settle well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer but only for a short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do well to fill in all those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I could undoubtedly be amazed.
