wrong would be done.

ner. Boys’ Secretary of the AT. M. C. A.,
made a short talk on “AA^hy One Is
Called to the AAMrk of Christ.”
“There are two reasons why the
Christian Religion needs helpers; first,
is that Jesus is popular today, and sec
ond, is that for the people that do not
know Him, someone must make them
acquainted. xAnyone is picked, who is
willing to give their all to rich or poor.
To become real Christians and have
proper fellowship with oiir friends, we
must respect Jesus as a great leader
and as our personal Lord,” said Air.
AA'einer in closing.

I’rince,” in an interview AA’^ednesday,
October 20. Aliss Nord was in Greens
boro for the performance of “The Stu
dent I’rince” given at the National
Theatre AA'ednesday night. “AAT^ have
just come from A'irginia,” she told the
High Life reporters, “where we played
all last week. AA-e are delighted with
our Southern audiences.”
Seated in the dining room of the
O. Henry, Aliss Nord graciously
answered the many questions put to
her, and seemed most anxious to please
these representatives of the high school
part of her audience. She told of her
education at Sullins College, and of her
musical training. She entered grand
opera when she was only 20 years old.
xV book of clippings told of her many
successes, and contained many things
of interest.
“I think the music in ‘The Student
Prince’ is lovely, and I believe we could
have tun two nights here,” said Miss
Sylvia, the comedienne.
The reporters found both the ac
tresses full of “pep” and most enthusi
astic about their work.
The cornerstone of the old Lindsay
Street School was removed Friday aft
ernoon, October 15. Edgar D. Broad
hurst, chairman of the Greater Greens
boro board of education, opened the
copper box found under the corner
stone, which had been placed there at
the time of the erection of the school.
AA'hen the school was built Air. Broad
hurst was superintendent of the city
schools. In the box were found several
newspapers dated August 1, 1887. In
one some of the food prices w’ere
quoted. At this time eggs were 10
cents a dozen, spring chickens 10 and
15 cents a pound, and bacon 10 cents
a pound. In another 1887 paper. Judge
Schenck is quoted as follows; “The
United States government completed
the postoffice building this year. A
great ornament to the city.” The pres
ent postottiee is the one completed in
1887. At that time there was a popu
lation of a little over 3,000.

resentatives Are “Thrilled”
ACTRESS INVITES THEM TO DINE
Supper of Seven Colors
“And wain’t you have dinner with
us?” Gee, was this really so? AAbis
the leading lady of “Th e Student
I’rince” honestly asking twm High Life
reporters to dinner? Gracious! It wais
an honor to be allowed an interview^
and to be invited to dine was to» much.
The reporters couldn’t think of such
an ordinary thing as food at such an
exciting time; so the invitation was
declined.
Aliss Helen Nord and Aliss Sylvie
DeFrankle were cordial, friendly peo
ple, who seemed as anxious to please
tw'o young, but aspiring, reporters as
if they w’ere really important. And
yMdn’t it seem wonderful to be here at
the O. H.'iTiLV interviewdng them! Just
think, they A^re real actresses, the
height of everydream.
“Remember wheiT wt. ^^sed to inter
view people when w^e .. ■” in hi^^li
school?” No, it couldn’t hi j^,>_,osible
that these delightful beings had really
been through the toils of high school.
“Don’t you love their southern
drawd?” And this w-as the star in “The
Student I’rince” speaking of two hum
ble reporters! It wms all more than
the twm could really take in. They left
after these few" heavenly minutes wfith
hearts a-fiutter.
“They really are human, and weren’t
they just lovely?” they exclaimed ex
citedly as they left the realms of ac
tresses and turned reluctantly home
ward.
During the AA'orld Series, members of
the Boys’ Athletic Association of G. H.
S. handled the selling of the reserve
seats in front of the Daily News build-
ing. Half of the net receipts wms
turned over to the Athletic Associa
tion.
Patched Breeches
The story is told of a North Carolina
mountaineer who always w’ore patched
breeches'—patched at the knees find
patched in the seat. Economy is not
the explanation that his neighbors gave
for the condition of his trousers. It
wuis generally conceded that the knees
w"ere worn threadbare by fervent spirits
of prayer, wdiile the seat was entirely
wmrn awaiy by much back-sliding from
the heights of religious ecstacy attained
during such periods.
Alany students are like this moun
taineer. Figuratively if not literally,
their trousers are patched before and
behind.—-The Gmlfordhin, Guilford Col
lege, N. C.
Ixittle Boy—Oh, Alother, guess what!
I just saw^ a lady w’ith great long hair
gathered up on a bump on top of her
head and held there with pieces of
bent w'ire.—Polaris Wecklu, Alinneapo-
lis, Alinn.
Into Historic Crevices
Alany of us believe that Betsy Ross
made the first American flag in 1776,
but the AA"ar Department has verified
the statement that the American Idag
w"aved for the first time over Fort Stan-
wix, afterward named Schuyler. The
fort w’as built in 1757 on the Alohawdc
River near the present city of Rome,
New’ York.
The w’hite stripes were cut from am
munition shirts, the blue from a cam-
ulet cloak taken from the enemy at
Piekskill, w’hile the red stripes were
pieces of stuff obtained from the men
at the garrison. These various ma
terials sew’ed together resulted in the
original American flag.—The South
erner, Alinneapolis, Alinn.
