I would admire these people for being able to make light of the post-war depression that they and the rest of the nation were emerging from — only I'm not sure how many of the organizers and attendees actually had been laid off from the local brickyards or the Gary mills, or were dealing with falling prices for the milk they produced, or otherwise directly experienced hardship.

Anyway, the hard-times partiers had a good time, and our own William Rossow won a prize.
