N -.. ,V-nz-vi Class History 29fB After climbing many stairs, little Betty came to a door. She opened it and found herself in a dark attic room. A ray of light shown upon an old trunk, covered with the dust of many years. She raised the cover. An interesting array of clippings, papers, letters and books attracted her eye. Gathering many of them in her arms, she carried them to her grandfather, seated in a large armchair, before the crackling fire, leisurely smoking his pipe. Grandpop, what are all these things I found in the trunk? Well, well, well, Betty! I haven't seen those things in years! They are memoirs of my High School days. Hand me that large book with the ship on the cover, and let me again look at my classmates. The old man slowly leafed through the book, gazing at the pictures which brought back old memories. He again lived the first day he entered the stately portals of Lorain High School. He remembered how unnecessary he felt, walking down the long, strange corrif dors among the more confident upper classmen. How important he felt marching down the hall to take a seat UQ in the audi' torium for the annual opening exercises! To him came the minutes of anxious waiting, hoping that the period would end before Miss Watson asked him to put the problem on the board that he didn't have. September again rolled around,with the sophomores entering the school with more confidence than the year before. With their sophomore year came the opportunity to show their ability in the use of the flowery French, to surprise their friends by the demonstration of deep problems in a Mathematics Club, to interpret laws in the Com' mercial Law Club, to bring forth their musical talents in the various musical organizaf tions, and perform duties in other improvement clubs. With the opening of their junior year, came the realization that they had only two more short years to spend in the school that had come to mean so much to them. At last they were on the second floor, where seniors and juniors reign supreme, and where, as freshmen, they had longed to be. Then came the senior year! The year when they were the models of school citif zens. Those who were chosen to be hosts, hostesses and on the program of the Senior AfB banquet lived the happiest and most exciting moments of their school life. The banquet, with all the pomp, accompanying show was an event never to be forgotten. During the first part of the senior A year came the election of officers and the appointment of various committees. Then came the selection of pins, colors, invitaf tions, a motto, and then a sitting at Moc's Studio! The snapshots, jokes, and writefups for the annual Scimitar offered both hard work and excitement for those involved. Still happier moments were to come when on that Friday morning several of the class were elected to the distinguished National Honor Society. These pleasures had hardly gotten a good beginning, when another Senior A-B banquet was to be atended-the last for the class of '29fB. The picture of that graduation night, when each was paid in accordance to what he had done, came to the old gentleman. Now as he sat beside the fireplace dreamily smoking his pipe, the smoke rings gradually encircled his head like a halo, as he re- called all that remained of those happy high school days-Memories!
