Secretary and Treasurer Margaret Hedrick . Historian HISTORY Shakespeare has said that the world is a stage, and the men and women are the players. To us, the Senior class of 1930, Louisiana Tech has been our world, our stage for the last four years. On this stage we have presented a four act play; each act has been a college year in length. The actors have been the members of our class. Some of us have played minor roles while others have taken the major parts. Working together in beauti¬ ful harmony, we have striven to make our play the best ever staged at Louisiana Tech. In September, 1926, the curtains parted to disclose the first act of our play— the Freshman act. In spite of the fact that we were young, green amateurs, we skillfully selected our main characters. The principal roie wars played by Lanier Thompson, president. Each played his part in a commendable way. In June, 1927, the curtains were drawn again. After an interlude of three months, a more experienced group began the second act—the Sophomore one—, and so on throughout our Junior and Senior years. Playing the leading parts the second year were Davidson Brown, Presi¬ dent; Denis Noah, Vice President; Eugenia Sentell, Secretary-Treasurer. Leading the Juniors were Bernice Hemler. president: “Lit” Haley, vic° president; Ernes¬ tine Elder, secretary-treasurer. This year we have Margaret Rainwater, president; Bernice Hemler, vice president; “Lit” Haley, secretary-treasurer. Playing opposite our class officers were such notable actors and actresses as “Dodo” Stewart, Robert Dubose, Dennis Peel, Berry Hinton, and Quitman Long. It seemed impossible that such joys, pleasures, and sorrows could be included in one play. Never did such actors and actresses take such an interest in the drama of college life as did those of our class. With eyes brimming and deter minded smiles on our faces, we lift our voices in song: “Oh Tech, thy halls so beautiful Thy pleasant walks and noble trees — The curtain fell, and the drama ended May 29, 1930. —Margaret Hedrick, Historian.
