The debate was then called. George

Australian ballot was the fact that the
possibility of bribery would be prac
tically eliminated. The judges ren
dered a decision of three to nothing in
favor of the affirmative.
A CHEWING GUM ROMANCE
When first he met her she was fair.
And chewing,
chewing,
gum.
A rosebud nestled in her hair;
He breathed his love unto her there;
But she—she smiled a smile so fare—
While chewing,
chewing,
gum.
She listened while he waged his suit,
Still chewing,
chewing,
gum.
He vowed her charms had made him
mute.
And tuned his passion on a lute;
And- she declared that it was “cute”—
Still chewing,
chewing,
gum.
At last she blushed and murmured
“yes,”
Still chewing,
chewing,
gum.
He wrapped her in a fond carees.
And she remarked: “ ’Tis time I guess
I saw about my wedding dress”—
Still chewing,
chewing,
gum.
It was announced that the program
for the next meeting would consist of
a bill for discussion, “Resolved, That
the present criminal court system
should be abolished and a court
modelled on the juvenile system be

“Give all those girls my best re
gards,” said Edgar A. Guest at an in
terview with a High Life reporter at
the Odell Memorial building, Friday
night, March 12. When asked how he
was feeling, he exclaimed he was tired
and then smiled. Mr. Guest seemed
to be very elated over the lecture he
was soon to deliver. He was of a gay
disposition and his face lighted up
with smiles when he spoke. The
twinkle in his eyes was typical of his
poems. In his hands he carried two
volumes of his poems, making him ap
pear the typical poet. In closing, he
said, “Tell the high school pupils that
the next time I am in Greensboro I
hope I may come over there and talk
to them.”
