THE C II AIN 1 9 3 3 History of the Class of 33 Agnes Ramsey T HE Technocratic Union of ’33 has come from two main factories, Venable and Midway. The three hundred members met for the first time in 1929 to elect officers. Thu meeting was chaotic, despite the fact that our recent promotion should have increased our dignity. Claude Robertson and Frances Breeden were chosen president and vice-president, respectively; Mike Williams was selected secretary and treasurer. Our biggest event that year was the Fresh¬ man skit for Book Week. When September of 1930 brought us back to Lane after the three months of vacation that some forgotten group of scholarly Technocrats had gained by seizure innumerable years ago, we had become familiarized with our working mates, instructors, and the general regulations. We realized that certain channels of traffic were to be followed in going from one working room to another. We could complacently hear our new general manager, Mr. Sul fridge, deliver the traditional Freshman welcome. We could be condescending to our new fellow-workers, the Freshmen. The union meeting this year was more orderly. We elected J. Y. Brown, president, Jimmie Maupin, vice-president, Eleanor Burch, secretary, and Anne Lacy, treasurer. The Sophomore scene from “Penrod in Book Week assembly took the award and we felt justly proud that our histronic ability sur¬ passed that of the haughty Juniors and Seniors. Jeanette Petty was president of our Junior Union; Charles Evans, vice- president. Marjory Murch was our secretary and Fendol Carter, our treasurer. The real event of the first few months was the burial of Harrisonburg’s goat. The grandstands emptied as the employees of Lane rallied around the horse-drawn hearse. A more joyous funeral there never was. The Union presented “The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. Amid the hilarious reception of the audience, the judges decided we best deserved the poster award. In April the Juniors and Seniors went to Washington. Such a trip! We visited this, that, and the other until we almost expired from exhaustion. The solemnity surrounding the gradua¬ tion gave us opportunity to remember that soon we, too, would be turned out into the world, “for better or for worse.” And now that we are Seniors, the old factory seems a protecting shadow against the future. We have tried to pack into these last nine months all those things which make pleasant memories. At the beginning of the school year we elected Union officers. The publication staff was appointed. Plans for a [unior- Senior prom were discussed and in February the prom was initiated successfully. A few weeks later the Juniors and Seniors went to Washington. Senior rings, invitations, the Baccalaureate sermon. Player’s Club play, and other events have starred this year’s calendar. Perhaps we may have some extraordinary occasion to recall our activities here; if so, our chief thought will be, “Thank you. Lane!” [ 29 ]
