4 JULIA GALANKA T reus u re r Twenty-Three' And then they were juniors. By that time the class had learned to laugh at the jokes of Mr. Bateman and Mr. Bash. They talked in Latin, French, and Spanish like natives and mystified the lowly freshmen and sophomores. They were able to break forth into stentorian oratory at the slightest possible excuse. The great genius of some of the class had become apparent, and they ably represented the class in both social and athletic activities. They as- tounded the teachers with their great intellects. A favored few were chosen as waiters for the Senior A- B Banquet, a fact which caused not a few visits of the green-eyed mon- ster. With the beginning of their sen- ior year, most of the class of '31 A had gone in for bigger and better millinery. They looked down upon the rest of the common herd with the air of Napoleon surveying his army. The varsity men discussed the coming year like seasoned cam- paigners and gave the coach little trouble except as to the lack of ap- propriately-sized headgear. Also at this time were the class elections, parties, and other social functions. And then-exams. Finally all strug- gled through and at last were ready for Commencement. And so the class of 1931 A closes its career in Lorain High School and goes out into the world to make it a class long to be remembered in their Alma Mater.

THE SCIMITAR 193 I ROBERT CARLSEN President LORAIN HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY OF 193 1 A Came the dawn. The freshmen of the class of '31 A entered the im- posing edifice which houses Lorain's highest type of learning. Gazing with awe at the dignified upper classmen who condescended to visit the third floor, they made their Way to their respective home rooms- and many other places. As time passed they were intro- duced to the intricacies of algebraic formulas, to Ivanhoeis great deeds of chivalry, and to other subjects intended expressly for the cultiva- tion of the freshman mind. There was the usual tyrannical oppression by the sophomores, through which every neophyte must pass. But few fell by the way, and the class Went on. A year passed. So did most of the class of '31 A. They were sopho- mores now, with authority of their own, which they used or abused on the freshmen. Then came the time when they set forth to make names for themselves. Aspiring varsity stars did battle with signal and for- mations in their efforts to fill the shoes of the graduating varsity stars. Others gave the Dramatic club and social clubs the sole benefit of their great talents CPD . Still others proved traitors to the cause of youth, became grinds and strove only for the elusive A's and B's of the report card. ERNEST KOHLMYER Srrrelnry
