The TECHTONIAN History of the Class of 1933 Should you ask me, whence this history? Whence this myriad of pictures, Whence this illustrated record, Of the seniors deeds and honors, Of their conquests and their triumphs, Of their rise from lowly freshmen, Of their pride as upper classmen, Of their striving ever onward Toward their goal, their graduation? Where, you ask, have I discovered All these facts and maybe fancies, Of the class of three and thirty. I should answer, I should tell you, From the pages of the year book, And the newsy Technic Junior, From the lips of nineteen hundredn.

Came the class day of the seniors, When We pledged to cherish always, And respect the school's traditions, As we reached the rank of Senior, Moved into the place left vacant.
