HIGH LIFE
January 13, 1928
DICK’ HALLIBURTON,
FAMOUS AUTHOR,
TALKS TO STUDENTS
Speaker’s Lecture Is Based on
Theme of “The Glorious
Adventure”
RECOUNTS EXPERIENCES
Mr. Halliburton Typifies the Spirit of
Eternal Youth and Radiates the
Essence of Animated Life
Richard Halliburton, typifying the
spirit of eternal youth, and radiating
the very essence of vital, animated
life, last Monday night recounted to an
eager audience which packed the N. C.
C. W. auditorium, something of his ex-
peiences as he danced down “the I’oyal
road to romance,” lured on by one
“glorious adventure” after another.
Mr. Hallibuton is well known as the
author of two popular works, “The
Royal Road to Romance” and “The
Glorious Adventure,” as well as for
his ability as a lecturer. He is the
most outstanding poetic romanticist of
the present era.
The subject of his lecture Monday
night was “The Glorious Adventure.’
He told in his informal way the out
standing incidents of his excursion
just after his graduation from Prince
ton, when, sometimes alone, sometimes
with a companion^ he beat his way
around the world.
“We all have dreams,” Mr. Hallibur
ton said. “I had three: to climb the
Matleham; to run the original Mara
thon and swim the I-Iellespont. All of
these I did in my own way.”
In India he visited the sacred ruins
of the ancient capitol of the Hindus
wdiere, for months, a million Moham
medans battled that their emperor
might possess a fabulously beautiful
Hindu pincess. The young romanticist
spent one glorious night in the Taj
Mahal, fought his way across the Ma
lay peninsula, ventured into little
known ports of Tibet, and languidly
floated for days on a house boat.
To climax his romping adventure
Halliburton climbed Fujiyama, the
sacred mountain of Japan, in the dead
of winter, a thing no man had ever
done before.
Thus does the saga of this young
man race on to its thrilling finish, and
thus did he recount it Monday night.

GOOD ADVICE
Boys! If your girl doesn’t write like
you think she should, just cut out these
few lines and send ’em to her. They
were found in a girl’s memory book and
had been clipped from some school
magazine.
Rules regulating correspondence:
1. If you’re saving ink do it some
other way than by writing “c” for see.
2. Employ “as ever” only with the
proper explanation.
3. Never regulate your love affairs

in which I do not figure. Tell the
other fellow.
4. The fact that you have other let
ters to write does not help me to feel
content with a few words (2i for in
stance). I can’t help you writing to
others (I wish I could).
5. If you really don’t know how to
write the kind of a letter that I crave,
advise me and I will be pleased to
forward some very good examples,
written by experts, which have been
pronounced O. K.
G. Don’t fill your letter with “Cur
rent Topics” stuff. I read the news
papers occasionally.
7. Weather conditions interest me-
teoi'ologists. I’m not one.
8. Don’t apologize for not having
written sooner. Probably your delay
doesn’t worry me as much as you might
suppose.
9. Don’t mind saying something.
You’re not writing for publication.
10. Write legible on both sides of
paper only.
11. If I don’t write promptly, it
means one of two things, either I
haven’t time to write or I don’t want
to.—Copied.
Bill Byers, president of the student
body of G. H. S., welcomed the Pomona
students to G. H. S. at an assembly
meeting held at the Odell Memorial
building January 5. “I take great
pleasure in representing and welcoming
to G. H. S. the new students from
Pomona,” declared Mr. Byes. “No
longer will there be two student bodies,
but one. We are all forming a new,
greater Greensboro High School.”
The president proceeded further to
describe and to explain to the new
comers the work of the student council
and the traffic rules which apply to
the new building. He urged everyone
to take part in the school activities
and to send suggestions to the council.
Romeo Le Fort, president of the Po
mona senior class^ in responding to the
welcome, declared, “l^ou have been so
cordial to us and made us feel at home
that we are now glad that a change
has been made. We hope that we may
enter into the activities and become a
vital part of Greensboro High.”
In the Student Council it was de
cided that Pomona should have a rep
resentative, until the new semester be
gins. This was put to the vote of the
student body and was unanimously
approved.
