Norman Angell, British author and
lecturer of note, spoke at the first meet
ing of the Greensboro Open Fornm for
the 1920-27 season. His lecture dealt
with modern democracy, its faults and
the possibilities of its improvement.
“The war was fought for democracy
hut there has never been so great an
epidemic of anti-democratic feeling in
Western Europe within many years.
“If we look at our defects and ask
ourselves how we may right these, then
there is a hope for democracy.”
These were some of the most out
standing statements made by Mr. An
gell. The speaker feels that as long
as there is strife between her various
countries Europe will remain much
poorer than America.
After the lecture an hour was given
for the audience to ask the speaker
questions. Many points of general in
terest were brought out and developed.

Wade Wiley, recently crowned cham
pion of the Bhillips family, according
to G. Todd, noted exaggerator, paid
G. II. S. a visit on Thursday, Septem
ber 31. The feather-weight terror was
accompaned by his devoted parents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. IV. Phillips, the former
being the main squeeze at the Greens
boro Lligh School, and erstwhile train
er of the iieAv ruler of fistiana and mat-
dom.
Shortly after his arrival the young
champion proclaimed himself in no un
certain tones. Evidently he was dis
pleased with the refreshments served
by the G. H. S. food dispensary, at
any rate he vociferated for a lengthy
period much to the discomfort of cer
tain Freshmen who happened to pass
at the time, and who greatly feared
that the young head of the Phillips’
family might pour out his wrath upon
them. Wade LViley’s anger was finally
appeased, however, without unneces
sary casual ities.
Prof. Phillips stated that he brought
his offspring to school in order that
the afore mentioned G. Todd might ob
serve the young champion at close
range.
THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF HENRY
E. BIGGS, JR.
By Henry E. Biggs, Jr.
The following, and intimate story of
the life of Henry E. Biggs, Jr., to date,
was written by Henry E. Biggs, Jr.
To begin with, I was born quite
ordinary 1 Yes, I was born, decidedly
horn; hi a house. I was neither a rich
boy who might boast of success de
spite riches, nor a poor one who might
boast of success despite poverty. I tell
you this that you may see the amazing
barriers which I found it necessary to
to tear down.
My first year was just one bottle
after another, with a “squawk” and
a “nap” occasionally thrown in, and
in my second, I crawled on all fours
and ate more milk. The third, fourth
and fifth years were a succession of
“stumped” toes and neighborhood
fights.
LYr me, the sixth year of my life
was one of the most eventful, a turn
ing-point from “prize-fighter” and
“street-car-condnctor” Ambitions to
those of public speaking. It came
about in a queer way.
My father and I were at a picnic,
and all the soap-box orators had given
their anaestlietic-like speeches; and
my papa was next. Somehow, how
ever, the announcer got his tongue
twisted, and called for Henry E. Biggs,
Jr., which of course, was the author,
Henry E. Biggs, Jr., himself. At the
important age of sir, I thought this
not out of ordinary, so, rising to the
occasion, I rendered them my best in
terpretation of “Little Boy Bine, Come
Blow Your Horn,” etc. I received a
tremendous ovation, and from then on,
my life-work was plain to me.
And now, even at my tender age, al
ready I have had nineteen offers orate
on the possibilities of “Hokum’s Soap,”
“Bunkum’s Pajamas,” “Leekfast Foun
tain Pens,” and all. manner of such
products, but I have kept ever before
me the one ambition of my life; to be
chief liaUylwo man for a circus side
show.
At present I am president of the
“Bull-sliugers Union,” which, in the
more cultured language of the elite, is
the Debating CHuh. ' Here we discuss

Greensboro, N. C.
The second meeting of the Greens
boro High School Debating Club for
the 1920-27 term, was held Friday, Oc
tober 1st. The program consisted of a
hill for discussion, namely, “Resolved;
That subscription to the school publi
cations should be made compulsory.”
Owing to the nature of the bill it had
attracted considerable attention, and
several of the teachers were present.
Louis Brooks opened the discussion.
“I believe that something is needed
to bring about a better cooperation
between the student body and the pub
lications, hut I feel that the plan now
under discussion is nothing short of
tyrranical,” the speaker stated.
Henry Biggs followed with a strong
argument in favor of the measure,
closing his talk with the statement
that there was nothing more to
be said on the subject, whereupon Carl
ton lYilder gained the floor and spent
several minutes in attempting to tear
down Biggs’ argument.
J. D. McNairy was the next to speak.
He continued along somewhat the same
lines pursued by Carlton Wilder.
The meeting closed with the first
speaker of the day attempting to tear
to pieces the argument presented by
Heniw Biggs.

SCHOOL SPIRIT AT THE LAW?
The anti-teahound law seems to have
driven some of the high school mem
bers of the sidewalk warmers to the
football field. Whether it was for lack
of some other place to go or whether
they are really getting the high school
spirit at last, nobody knows; but nev
ertheless there are 55 of them at the
old ball park every afternoon, whereas
in the past few years only about 30
boys have reported for football prac
tice.
If this law has had that effect on
the teahouiids, the student body of
G. H. S. believes it would be of great
benefit to the school if a similar law
to that of the anti-teahonnd one would
be passed to prohibit flappers from
making their appearance on the main
streets of this city. There are places
for several more girls on the hockey
teams and such a law might solve the
problem.
H. S. will get a new high school by
2972.” 'We gave this topic a thorough
workout in chapel for the student
body, but those low-brows couldn’t ap
preciate our optimism.
I’m also rifht smart of a lawyer. I
take any case that has a shade of the
crooked, and of the criminal, as I
mean to be a criminal lawyer in my
declining years. I boast to be the only
great man who neither worked in a
farm for my first dollar, nor ever sold
papers.
This concludes the first chapter of
the Life and Letters of Henry E.
Biggs, Jr. This quite necessarily
terminates the first chapter as the sub
ject has not lived long enough to neces
sitate another chapter.
At the meeting held the previous Fri
day several new members were admit
ted to the club, namely, Minnie Her
man formerly of the High Point de
bating team, Elizabeth Boyst, Ruth
Abbott, Henry 'Weiland, and David
Stern.
A measure was passed providing for
a certain standard of scholarship to
be maintained by both old and new
members. At a picnic held the week
before the opening of school it was de
cided to limit the membership of the
club to thirt3L
It was with general regret that the
Club accepted the resignation of Con
nelly Gnerrant, the sergeant-at-arms.
Unavoidable circmiistances made it
necessary for him to give up his posi
tion. George McSwaiu was chosen by
acclamation and unanimous vote to fill
the vacancy.

Purple Whirlwind Loses

(Continued from Page Four)
team was not to be stopped and after
a series of passes and plunges the ball
was brought to the Greensboro eight
yard line. Two line plunges by Ashe
ville followed and then Captain Estes
carried the ball across the line.
After this score was made the
Greensboro boj^s tried hard to score
with Watson driving the team from his
own twenty yard line down to within
ten yards of the Asheville goal when
the final whistle sounded. This ground
was gained by resorting to the air, the
referee’s whistle being all that was
able to stop the steady drive toward
the goal.
Greensboro was successful in mak
ing 10 first downs to the Maroons six.
Captain Estes, Cobb, Chakales, and
Fitzgerald played Avell for Asheville,
while Watson, Captain Lipscomb,
Teague, and Davant starred for
Greensboro.
The Grammar school teachers will
have classes each Saturday morning
at nine o’clock. Miss Nelson will be
in charge of the class in music, Miss
Lena Boley the class in art. Miss
Fdorence Pannel will direct the group
studying primary work, and Mrs. Male
Hartsell those studying Grammar
grade work. An average attendance
of twenty-five per class is expected.
The teachers will receive credit for
th eir work.
“DEAR TEACHERS”
Dick Burroughs and Clarence Phoe
nix are rival pedagogues. Dick occas
ionally distributes knowledge among
the members of Mrs. Ashford’s Jour
nalism class, where he is greatly re
spected ; so much so, that it is rumored
his pupils are planning to give him a
fruit shower in the near future.
Clarence chauffeurs school-children
to school each morning in a perfectly
lovely bus. He teaches them their
ABC on the way, and in return,
they bring him apples, stick candy, and
flowers. It is said that the ambitious
young men are trying to teach their
pupils to address them as “dear teach
er.”
What’s more, if you feel the need of
“advice” you know where to go.
