F, Gehrett in recognition of his services in the advancement of our school We dedicate this Senior Issue. Base Ball t Ball 00 F Basket Ball Girl's Basket Ball Qllaaa Qiatnrg We, the class of 1920, have, in our four years' course in the Avalon High School, developed quite a his- tory. When we entered the High School, our aim as Freshmen was too great to come true and it was not until we had become Seniors and were leaving the school that we could feel somewhat satisfied with our work. This aim, set in our Freshman year, is not our standard today. We have surpassed that aim and are looking forward to greater things. Our Freshman year may be com- pared, in a way, to the Old Stone Age of ancient history. The an- cients had, in this age, only stone implements of warfare and agricul- ture and had to endure many hard- ships. The teachers found us- fifty-four in number-hard to work with in our Old Stone Age, due to our inexperience in high school ways and studies. But we, on the other hand, found our studies hard to work with. What could be ex- pected, working day in and day out to overcome the Latins and Al- gebrites ? Open combat against these forces was impossible, but under the leadership of Miss Smith and Mr. Funderburg, their forces were driven back. Instead of using stone weapons, as did our Old Stone Age ancestors, we made use of erasers placed around the black- board. These erasers were found almost anywhere after our dismis- sal, for where there are Freshmen, there is always mischief. The man of the Old Stone Age was a hunt- er, a fisher, an artist. We certainly were hunters of good times in our Freshman year and many a one we brought to the ground. One of the most noteworthy ex- samples of our success at hunting was the first party. It was held in ths Auditorium, and, in the course of the evening, some upper class- men-our worst enemy-attacked us tc capture our rations in order to satisfy their hunger. Pursued by Mr. Reece, the game wascap- tured, but not before Mr. Reece had pu! his fist through the glass door. We were artists in elocution and public speaking just as the ancients were in portrait painting. But this art was not encouraged by the teachers because it was practiced at wrong times in the class rooms. We were accordingly punishedfby confinement in room 18 after school, guarded by Mr. Reece. How- ever, this punishment did not lessen the crimes and very often half the class was found in Room 18 at four o'clock. ' The Old Stone Age passed away, for we became more curious and hunted deeper and deeper into our textbooks and the like and soon were enlightened upon some sub- jects. Our sophomore year, then, was compared to the Age of Cop- per. The ancients found copper during research work just as we found knowledge. The Latins and Algebrites still stormed our batteries, but, with our new knowl- edge, we warded them off and man- aged to defeat them in June, 1918. The teachers found us easier to work with in this age because of our experience in methods of war- fare. We enjoyed sports in their season the whole year round Which, with our new leaders-Miss Con- don, Miss Case and Mr. Schumaker, were many. ' Then, owing to our advancing knowledge, we entered another era in our history- The Age of Brass or the Brazen Age. The Brazen Age of mythology dealt with war- fare carried on by Neptune. Our Junior year was quite peaceful at first with our new leaders, the Misses Meek and Macpherson, but toward the latter part of the year 4 THE BUZZER our class became quite warlike. This was due to the disputes brought on by the Junior Prom. However, peace was declared by our President, Donald Bechler, and the Junior Prom came off nicely at the Pines, May 27, 1919. This prac- tically ended our school year, but before we were to enter another epoch of our history, a shadow passed over our lives, for Miss Smith, our faithful leader for three years, made known her resignation. We were sorry to lose her leader- ship, but we had learned that the bitter always comes with the sweet, and made the best of life under the circumstances. But the greatest epoch of our history was yet to come to us. We had now passed through three of them, gaining in knowledge just as the ancients had. Still dissatisfied with our attainments, deeper and deeper into our text books we dug eager to learn more. Then we en- tered our Golden Age - our Senior Year. What bliss to be Seniors-to be considered by those passing through the Ages of Stone, Copper and Brass as the Light of the School World l Our aims were like those of most seniors-to ac- quire knowledge. We had unending struggles with the French and Chemistrianites, especially the lat- ter, but with Miss Meek and Mr. Norris they were repulsed and we hope, conquered for ever. We had never as yet known defeat and so, with all forces - now twenty-six, for some had fallen in our numer- ous battles-we conquered our foes. Pleasures during this age were few and far between. One sleigh ride completed the programme of win- ter sports. Then last, but not least, came the Junior Prom, held at the Pines, May 27, 1920. A good time was enjoyed by all and thus ended the history of the class of A. H. S., -J. A. S., '20. CLASS WILL WE, Julia Knight and Helen Kahl, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute our interests in the Avalon High School among our succeeding classmates. That part of our interests, which is known in law and recognized in sheep-bound volumes as our prop- erty, being inconsiderable and of no account, we make disposal of in this, our last will. Our right to live, being but a life estate, is not at our disposal, but these things excepted, all else in the world we now proceed to devise and bequeath. We give to Joe Gaus and Louie Seidenstein the dancing ability of two of our classmates, Russell Pol- lock and George Graeff. We charge the said students to use it justly and generously as the needs of it shall require. We bequeath to the Juniors our class rooms, desks, and all therein, our wonderful cloak.room, and last- ly, we will to them our mirror, which disappeared so often in the early part of the year. We hope they may rest in peace. Upon f'Bats Mayer we bestow Raymond Little's qualities as a clown and also his place in Miss Meek's heart. We do give this to him and we advise him to save enough money to buy hair restorer on his graduating day, as the need thereof will be endless. We impart to Basil Welsh the mental ability and the colored socks of Andrew Ward. We sincerely pray that these will brighten his way as he gains the upper classes. We do hereby direct the Juniors to appoint a member of their class to continue the good work of Ruth Wilson in obtaining forbidden fruits from certain confectionery THE BUZZER 5 stores during study periods, where amusement is lacking. We trust that they will enjoy these forbid- den delicacies as much as we have enjoyed them. - We willingly donate to Betty Stevens all the experiences and methods of vamping which Olive Wilt has successfully employed during the last four years. Betty may obtain all needed information, upon request, from the administra- tor of this will. Norine Anderson does hereby order us to bequeath to next year's Freshmen her exceptional accom- plishment of giggling. Although they are sufficiently equipped, we feel that they are the only class which can meet all requirements. Anna Dowd distributes among the lovers of the High School all the success in catching and ensnar- ing a certain well-known young man. At the altar of this same success, Christine Hooper and How- ard lay reverently their memories. Upon the Class of 1921 we bestow all our musical ability, our come- dian qualitiesg our fine debating materialg the gentle reprimands of Miss Macpherson, which have been such a source of amusement C ?D. All the money which, perchance, may be left in our possession after graduating, is to be handed over to Mr. Norris for any use he may have for it. To Elizabeth Smith we bequeath Doris Corbett's witty sayings with which to convulse her classmates with laughter. Jessie and Ted offer up their great experiences in friendship to the class of '22 to use carefully dur- ing the remainder of their high school life. Grace doth leave her charming personality and melodious voice to Helen Miller. Harvey Kapner bequeaths his impressive way of speaking to his namesake, Harvey Lewis. The dreams of Maude Thomas are left to brighten the gloomy at- mosphere of study hall. Helen Toay's smile is distributed among the pupils to be used on dark days. Danny's place in our hearts can never be filled, but we hereby order Miss Meek to treat Danny's Mig- non, otherwise Ralph Beilstein, with due respect. Freda and Jean leave all their duet music on the renowned piano for future use. We bequeath Karl Schiller's duty as Sergeant of Arms to the lucky one. Since Karl had to exert so much strength in performing this, we would advise that his successor store up all extra strength. Clayton Kuester's gift of selling tickets is donated to Jim Rowbot- tom. May he prosper. We bequeath Donald Bechler's ability as a first class talking ma- chine in study periods to the Victor Talking Machine Company. We hope to hear Donald's voice coming from the depths of a Victrola some day. To next year's Virgil Class, Gladys leaves all her up-to-date slang to use in bringing about an excellent classic translation. We wish you all success and good-luck, especially that you may defeat Bellevue. This day June 2, 1920 fsignedl Class of '20. Russ- What is an average ? Ray-Don't know. What is it '? Russ- An average is something a hen lays an egg on. Ray- Now, explain. Russ- Don't they say a hen lays an average of 6 a day? 6 THE BUZZER IHEII Gllaaa IHIIPIII Why do I seem so pensive When in mem'ry I try to recall The pleasure of days spent in High School And those who have shared them all? And the good old High School building Seems standing before my eyes, Held close in the shadows of twilight Our town in its beauty lies. And classmates! Oh, dear classmates! What times we've had together! On the high seas we've sailed daily In all kinds of stormy weather. We shone in English and civics, In Latin and chemistry, too, And math-the bane of existence- We managed somehow to get through. Dear High School, we ne'er shall forget you, We have shared in your smiles and your tears In your halls, institutions, so noble, We have spent four of youth's precious years Years just when we needed the guidance, To give our thoughts nobler form, Of our unselfish high-minded teachers Who have guided our way through the storm But the pleasant past is receding, The future stands at the gate, We can shape our success or misfortune, We are masters of our own fate. As- We began in Avalon High School Under the Blue and the Gold, As we solved our little problems In an honest way and bold, So- Let us fight life's larger battles And to greater things aspire, Ever mindful of our motto That Knowledge gained is power. -R. E. W., '20. Y Where did I lose my mem'ry? It makes me almost bawl- For the things I learned in High School Are so terribly hard to recall. And that ancient, antique building Brings tears unto my eyes, Held close in its spacious boundaries- Oh yes, they put us wise! And classmates! Oh, such classmates! What fights we've had together! We've scrapped and made up daily, Then kissed with lots of pleasure. We groaned in English and civics, Some flunked-we won't say who- And math-too easy to mention- Was said to the tune of boo-hoo. Dear High School, we ne'er shall forget you, The home of so many wild fears, In your seats of wood made for service We've oft dreamed of soft, easy chairs. Oh! how we have pestered those teachers With paper wads, thumb tacks, and gum Their patience-well, sometimes they lost it- No wonder, for we were so dumb. But the office so awful's forgotten- What dread it was to be late! Now to sleep and to eat and be merry And all evening-how sweet-a date. As greenies we came to the High School- Of course we wouldn't be bold- Oh! sometimes we fooled the poor teachers But, sh! now, that mustn't be told. Behold our High School's famed products, Who hope to climb higher and higher, But hopes, like bubbles, may fail us, Gee whiz! puncture! fiat tire! -C. H., '20, in ggagnyfwg Ill 352622Z N ' 'as is 'Q THE BUZZER Gllass iirnphrrg, 'EH Judging the future by the past, As time reverses things galore, We'll give you the future of this fine class, For the class of '20, here's what's in store. Here's to those who expect to be displeased, Now just sit still and be at easeg For each thing that's said is meant in fun And was done with no malice toward anyone. 1. Teddy debated each hour, each day, And put the point across in his original way, But now, it's not his voice that furnishes the treat,- At Loew's he's successfully using his feet. 2. A laugh, a word, a hop, a scream, And right into View comes our jolly Norine That used to be, but time its course has run And now she's a missionary 'neath the distant sun 3. Harvey was one who talked every day But somehow we never could hear what he'd say, Now he can talk till his jaws are numb For he works in a place for the deaf and dumb. 4. Always prim and neat in her way, Doris came with her hair curled each day 5 That she could get 'em she always did boast, But we never thought she'd take a whole Gross 5. Ray successfully led each cheer, And above all, his voice we'd hear, But nothing like that-he's using his voice As a huckster--Hpotatoes! One dollar, your choice.' 6. Christine was the star of this famous class, And in mathematics, each one she could pass, She was brilliant, happy, and full of pep, And, as a teacher at Pitt, she's surviving yet. 7. Donald, our Senior artist so rare- At drawing things, he was a bear, But now he's leading the saddest kind of life Trying to draw income for home and wife. 8. All day long she vamped her man, As to her future, guess hard as you can,- She sits at home with her parrot and cat, Our Olive's a spinster-could you ever guess that? THE BUZZER 9. Harold each day in his Ford took a ride With our Freda sitting so sweet by his side 5 But now, in the doughnut business they're seen, He bites the holes-she keeps the place clean. 10. George loved to shimmy, as everyone knows, He was always shimmying from his head to his toe But now he's dignified and more sedate, For he's in politics-the governor of this state. 11. Always laughing and talking she Went, Thus, many happy school days she spent, Now Ruth is leading a wonderful life, For she's in Harrisburg- the governor's wife. 12. She was always doing surprising things, But time always more surprises brings, Poor Helen always said she'd be an old maid, But already five husbands to peace she has laid. 13. She was our Senior so tall and sedate, Who came to school almost every day late, Though Anne was so tall and Clayton so small, They have been married and fooled us all. 14. You've heard how curiosity killed the cat, But really, it isn't so bad as that, Now Clayton asks questions, as lawyers can, And this is the way he supports our Ann. 15. He was the student with the peppy feet, And, as an athlete, he couldn'1: be beat 5 But if you see him, don't start to run, , For Russ in Woolworth's demonstrates Bay Rum. 16. Gladys it was who always finished her task, And better than she'd do it no one could ask, But time always changes things, you see- As an actress, she's the rage in gay Paree. 17. Where'er there were girls our Karl was seen, But never without paint, powder, and cream, And now at his place all ladies stop, For you see he is running a beauty shop. 18. Grace always talked like a mechanical toy, First McBride, then Grant, it used to be Roy, Louie, Ted, and many more she's met, But you'll be surprised-she's single yet. THE BUZZER 19. Among the girls in the class of '20, Of good looking fellows, our Maude had plenty, But she was always a feared heart-breaker, Then maybe she'll be a good home maker. 20. For comic remarks and many a pun, You could count on our Danny for lots of fun, You'll be surprised, for now you see- Our Sim Batty ushering at the Gay-e-ty! 21. Julia, the happiest girl in the class, We remember her cleverness in the past, For the Pittsburgh Press she writes the jokes Just like she did for the Avalon folks. 22. Andy was big, the heaviest of all, He'd sure break the floor if ever he'd fall, But then his fame has spread over the sea, The greatest lightweight champion is he. 23. A piano player was our Jean, Tickling the ivories she was always seen, But she now plays for all singers of fame, Our Jean, though small, has won a big name. 24. Bright, popular, and full of joy - Was one of our Seniors whose last name was Toay Now she is spending money galore, For she is a duchess on a far foreign shore. 25. Howard was one in the class of '20 Who of admirers always had plenty, And still the people admire him daily, For he's a wild manwith Barnum and Bailey. 26. Blue eyes, light brown hair, and a pleasant way, On her face you saw a smile the live long day: You'll now see our Jessie in one of the big shows As leading lady, whom everyone knows. And now, dear folks, just a moment sit still, Although of this prophecy you've had your fill, Just keep in mind, as you read the last verse. If it wasn't so good, it might have been worse.

I hitnriala THE SENIORS Again another group of young people in our borough have lived out the second epoch in their search for knowledge and twenty-six girls and boys of our community gradu- ate after completing their high school course of study. This is all that remains of a class of fifty-four that started on a quest of learning a short four years ago. Of the number that have fallen by the wayside, several are still in this school and some are graduating from other schools. By far the greater part of those who are no longer with us have dropped out of school-a fact for which we are indeed sorry. More than half of the number who entered High School with this class, however, are now leaving school, members of the same class. We doubt if an other class yet graduated from Avalon High School can boast of a similar honor. And what class has done more for the benefit of the school? Among our number we have bas- ketball, football and baseball men and girls on our teams. The Buzzer last year and this owes much of its success to the class of '20, Our Literary Societies, Ath- letic Association, Hi-Y Club, and all our school organizations are to a greater or lesser extent the work of the seniors. They have ever had the interest of the school at heart and always worked for its attain- ment. And the Seniors leave this school better, they hope, for their sojourn here and We trust that they them- selves have benefited by their time spent within the walls of Avalon High School. BOLSHEVISM This year has been literally crowded with all sorts of Bolshev- ism. We find it in the mill, in the store, in the office, and in fact, in every walk of life. And the school has not been entirely free from it, but we think that it has been held to a minimum. THE BUZZER 11 Our school building and equip- ment were not of the best, our teams were not always as success- ful as they might have been, but there was never any marked com- plaint. By a mistake that seemed to be anything but unintentional, we once lost a basketball game, but the school did not rise up in arms and rebel. The team, on the other hand, got down to work and strove harder than ever to even up their defeat. In every school activity the students were -back of it one hundred per cent. The spirit of the undergraduates was always one of co-operation and support. We are indeed proud of the spirit of the students and wish to publicly commend them. ATHLETICS ' . The growing interest in Athletics in the school is again manifested in the formation of bowling and track teams in the school. A bowling league was formed among the various classes and has just closed a successful, if not, beneficial season. This kind of league is a new thing in Avalon High School. Another team recently formed, and from which not much has yet been heard, is our new track team. These boys are working hard and wefwish them' success. They are entered in several meets in the near future that will call for the best that's in them. It willlrffean a great deal to our school should' our boys win out innanyof these meets. If hard work and training will help them, we are sure they will tri- utnph. We sincerely hope they'l1 come out with a good score to their credit.

The weather had been rather uncertain and when we arrived in the town it began to rain, much to our disap- pointment. The game had to be postponed till Thursday. Wood- lawn is such an easy place to get to! The trip home was very event- ful, several sprints had to be made to make connections with trains during a downpour of rain. The trip was made again Thursday, which was made easier because somebody used his brains and by the generosity of Woodlawn's auto- mobile owners. Young pitched for Avalon and only allowed them three hits up to the eighth inning. 20 THE BUZZER The score stood 7-3 in favor of Avalon in the last of the ninth, when, by several errors and other bad breaks, Woodlawn scored five runs. Molter had his hand spiked in two places, thus necessitating a change, which spoiled the party. WOODLAWN GAME Woodlawn visited Avalon intend- ing to win again, but the tables were turned by our trusty bats, which served their purpose. We played a ninth-inning this game, but we were able to play errorless ball. Several of the fellows hit con- sistently, which meant defeat for Woodlawn. The game ended 16-12. Sewickley, May 4, 1920. Revenge is sweet! Avalon lived up to that motto when they traveled to Sewickley and beat that High School team by the score of 12-10. Remembering the defeat sustained at their hands in basket- ball, the team redeemed itself in this baseball game. Avalon had quite a few rooters down at the Y. M. C. A. grounds to cheer. This must have helped, as the score was 5-1 in favor of the Sewickley team when the rooters arrived. Woodburn kept up his hitting rampage by garnering three more bingles, one being a double and an- other that should have been a triple. Besides his stellar perform- ance an additional feature of inter- est was an aerial bleacher, as an aeroplane hovered over the field as if watching the game. BELLEVUE GAME Avalon visited Bellevue with the intentions of beating them, but they did not take into consideration that a jinx had something to do with this game. The fellows had been hitting fairly well before this game, but up there they were un- able to get but two hits. Pollock's home run and Graef's single were the only two bingles. Bellevue was able to get on base a good many times by errors. Young pitched a good game, but did not get very good support from the infield. Belle- vue will again play us at the school picnic, where we intend to pay them back. A bowling league was instigated some time ago in the H. S. classes for the purpose of a little recrea- tion. The result follows: Won Lost Pct. Games Juniors --- 6 3 .666 9 Sophomores- 6 6 .500 12 Freshmen-- 4 5 .444 9 Seniors --- 5 7 .416 12 CAPTAINS Seniors ...1............ M ......

Friday evening, May 7, a joint meeting of the Alden and Erodel- phian Literary Societies was held, Russell Pollock acting as president for both societies. A very success- ful program was given. One of the features was the Virgil play, writ- ten by Miss Gladys Cole, which added much to the enjoyment of the evening and also to the reputa- tion of the High School. Jokes and school news, along with solos and readings by different students, car- ried along the program until the end: The closing feature was the Style Review. Modistes and Paris styles have nothing on us. The regular amount of ankles and shoulders was displayed, while we gazed with envy on the curves UD of the leading Bathing Beauty. OLDER BOYS' CONFERENCE The Sixth Annual Older Boys' Conference was held in the North Boroughs, March 19-20-21. The conference was the largest confer- ence of its kind ever held. Over five hundred boys from Western Pennsylvania attended. Large del- egations from Erie, Hollidaysburg, Greensburg, and other distant places were represented. The men who addressed the conference came from Chicago, New York, and one speaker came from the Philippine Islands. Avalon High School should be proud of the fact that one of their members was elected president of this conference. Russell Pollock worked hard in the Hi Y Club and deserves every bit of honor which such an office confers on a young man. 1- DEBATE On Wednesday afternoon, March 3rd, Avalon High School Debating Team defeated the Bellevue Team in the first Inter-Scholastic debate in this section. The question for debate was: Resolved, That Capital and Labor should be compelled to settle their disputes in legally established courts of arbitration. Avalon upheld the affirmative side of the question. The second debate was held at Ben Avon Tuesday evening, March 30, which resulted in a victory for A. H. S. over the Ben Avon team. This victory made Avalon the win- ner in this section 5 Ben Avon hav- ing previously defeated Sewickley. The question was the same as stated above, Avalon defending the affirmative side. While Avalon was debating in this section, similar debates were being carried on in the four other sections, twenty teams competing for the county championship and for the scholarship given by the University of Pittsburgh. Coraop- olis won in its section, Clairton, North Braddock, Oakmont and Av- alon winning in their respective sections. Coraopolis defeated Clair- ton in the semi-final debate held April 8. On April 30, the Avalon team met defeat at North Braddock. Both teams put up a stiff fight for the winner qualified in the final de- bate to be held at the University of Pittsburgh for the championship. The Avalon team was represent- ed by Miss Gladys Cole and William T. Corbett, and was coached by Miss Macpherson, the instructor of English in A. H. S. March 26, a very successful con- cert was given by the Girls' Chorus at the Avalon Borough Hall. The fund raised is to be used for the purpose of buying a new victrola. The Girls' Quartette and the solo- ist, Eva Spencer, added to the suc- cess of the evening. April 5, Miss Margaret McCurdy entertained the A. H. S. girls at her home. Dancing was the main fea- 22 THE BUZZER ture of the evening-with the ex- ception of eating. Everybody had a glorious time, as we always do have at McCurdy's. It has been suggested that the Sophs have a party. Bachelors' Table At the Hi Y banquet held a short time ago, one table was found which boasted not a single glfl- This was dubbed the Bachelors' Table. The best looking fellows at the banquet sat at this table. Why do we know that? Because some of the girls could not eat for looking at this beautiful array of male specimens. They favored the crowd with a solo which did not re- ceive much applause, due t0 the fact that everybody was busy eat- ing, Why so many bachelors were present at this banquet can be an- swered very brieHy-the H. C. L., financial embarrassment, and the railroad strike. The Biology hike was a success to the extent that all the pupils came home specimenless, and feel- ing very Zephyr-like. Mr. Wherry, Assistant Superin- tendent of the County Schools, gave us a splendid talk in chapel. This came just at a fine time, and we think it was appreciated by the stu- dent body. For the next few days Mr. Wherry visited classes. HIGH SCHOOL HONOR ROLL. Senior. Christine Hooper ..... .... 9 5.5 Helen Toay .......- ---- 9 4-6 Gladys Cole ......--.- ---- 9 4-25 Junior.

Conference proved very successful after so many weeks of preparation. It was composed of the eleven Friend- ship Clubs of Pittsburgh and the Y. W. Clubs of Butler, Johnstown, Wilmerding, Washington, N e w Castle and McKeesport. On Friday evening, April 30, the conference opened at the Central Y. W. After the visitors found their hostesses, the girls were as- signed to different tribes and as- sembled around a campfire. Camp Nephawin songs were sung, and the Ukulele Club of Union High came into prominence by pleasing the girls with several selections. The tribes then performed a stunt and Avalon came forward, for Vir- ginia Heckert was the leader of the honor tribe. Saturday was spent in classes held to help the girls in their club work and all matters .were dis- cussed dealing with the questions that come up in our club work. In the evening, a big banquet was held at Syria Mosque. About four hun- dred girls were present, and we surely enjoyed ourselves. Amelia Behrhorst gave one of the toasts and we all think she made a hit. The toasts were presented in the form of stump speeches of presi- dential nominees. Amelia represent- ed Attorney General A. M. Palmer. This was her successful speech: Why I Should Be Elected President Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure, as I know it gives you great pleasure also, to be with you this evening and I would ask as a personal favor that we lay aside the thought that I am Mr. Palmer, the Attorney General. I wish to speak to you this evening as your friend-countryman speak- THE BUZZER . 23 ing with countryman and plain citi- zen talking with plain citizen, poli- tics-let that be the farthest from our thoughts. The most vital question in the country today is that of the high cost of living and it is due you that I explain the many impossible things-that is, impossible to other men-that have been accomplished during my regime. As my time is limited, I shall speak only of the sweetest morsel under our tongues, that is, sugar, or the sugar ques- tion. As you know, Louisiana sugar rose to eighteen cents a pound when the market price was only eleven cents a pound, but there was a 'reason behind all this. Let me explain. When the people saw that sugar was eighteen cents a pound they flatly refused to buy it, therefore, it was conserved, while the eleven cent sugar was consumed rapidly. You see, when the people saw that sugar was eighteen cents a pound, they could not afford to buy it, they would not buy it, and they did not buy it, therefore it was saved. See-conservation of product, the same thing over again. It is not the money we want to save, but the sugar, the product itself. Now, since I have mentioned simply one of the many things that I have accomplished, I shall pre- sent to you what I intend to do, in regard to the high cost of living, if the people of this country are wise enough to elect me president. In my first address to Congress I shall advocate the immediate en- actment of the following bills, which, just as effectively as the sugar saving campaign, I expect to work wonders in the United States: The Avoirdupois Bill comes first. This Bill states that the population must not weigh over twenty pounds to a foot. A man five feet in height, therefore, must not weigh more than one hundred pounds even though he has two feet. Otherwise people must cut down their height or stop eating. A great amount of food will be saved in this way. The next most important is the Excelsior Bill. Instead of eating shredded wheat, people must resort to excelsior for their morning re- past. It looks the same and tastes the same. Probably the next most import- ant question in our minds is the clothes question. I would advise that women wear silks and satins, as this will save washing. On the other hand, no, as it were, on the same hand-a man does not need to wear a shirt covered up by a coat, and a vest. All he needs is a collar and a front piece which is tied down to his belt by a hook. This is ab- solutely the latest feature in men's apparel. The Transportation Bill holds next place. We must conserve leather, therefore husbands are re- quired to provide for every three members in the family a Ford. Henry Ford has graciously com- plied with this law and lowered the price of Fords to three for a quar- ter. But the Public must respond even more to the Government. It is almost compulsory that people walk one day on their heels and the next on their toes. Shoes will wear twice as long this way. This is termed the Heel and Toe Bill. That reminds me of a sign I saw the other day. It read like this: Feetless socks Wear better than the old kind. In regard to house furnishings, it is advisable that people adorn their walls with tapestry, as paper is excessively scarce. The last, but not least, is the Anti-Rest Bill or Sitting Down and Getting Up Act.' Both chair seats and our clothes are worn by so much resting that both could be saved by the Bed Shift Law. This states that a family needs only one bed by sleeping in shifts. Since houses are scarce these days, this fContinued on page 281 24 THE BUZZER Swrunr Elrahr fllllarka Norine-- . ..................................

Thank you. Friends, d0n't connect the word egotism with the name of Mr. Palmer. This reminds me of a little incident which occurred recently. The Literary Digest, as you all know, of course, held a Straw Vote on candidates for the presi- dency. You probably wondered that my name appeared so far down the list, but there is a reason. Let me explain. It was modesty, mere- ly modesty. I have ever advocated modesty, believing that he who humbles himself shall be exalted. ' And I now only wait for the voice THE BUZZER 29 T.
