520			_a"Class of '29" by Orrie Lashin and Milo Hastings is a play in three acts written in the late 1930s. The story revolves around a group of Harvard graduates facing the dire realities of the Great Depression, grappling with unemployment, love, and societal expectations. The central characters include Ken Holden, an aspiring architect struggling to find work, and his love interest, Laura Stevens, as well as their friends Tippy, Ted, and Martin, each representing various responses to the pressures of their economic situation. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the living conditions and interactions of Ken, Ted, and Tippy in their shared basement apartment. The three young men are engaged in light banter, oscillating between hope and despair while discussing their failures to secure employment post-graduation. Tensions arise as they confront their financial struggles and the influence of societal attitudes on their ambitions, with hints of conflict between friendship and personal pride, particularly regarding Ted's dependency on Kate, who supports him financially. The dynamic among the characters sets the stage for deeper explorations of their individual paths amid the challenges posed by the economic climate of the time.
