After ten years he became a member of the State Legislature and President of the State Senate in 1836. In 1837 he became secretary of the State Board of Education. He withdrew from politics and a lucrative practice at the bar and devoted himself entirely to a work which proved not only of the greatest signi¬ ficance to Massachusetts but for the entire United States. To reform State education he founded and edited the monthly “Common School Journal” and established Normal Schools. At his own expense he visited Europe to study Continental meth¬ ods. He was successful in arousing throughout the world an unprece¬ dented interest in educational affairs. From 1852, until his death in 1859, he was president of Antioch College, where he made his influence felt in the movement for equal educational opportunities for men and women. — - If HORACE MANUAL 1U -IL Nin.Utn Twenty-Kite JL Garda Strange “Hon” Glee Club 1-2-3; Mixed Chorus 3; Solemn Pride; Gypsy Rover; Annual Staff 4; Ginger Snap Revue 4; Basket Ball 1-2; President Senior Class.

J HORACE MANUAL 1L Nineteen Twenty-nine History of the Class of “ 29 ” rji UR years ago .the boys and girls of the senior class of “29” stepped into the saddle for a J difficult, but adventurous ride to the “Land of Wisdom.” There were two groups of them; one began the study of civics; the other the mysteries of Latin. Both groups were serious look¬ ing riders as they started off, but before long they had assumed a different aspect. Early in their journey some of the riders were clothed in gay costumes in order to participate in the operetta, and the first “Ginger Snap Review”. The singing cavalry of both divisions took part in the Lake County Contest. The boys who made up the foot-ball and basketball troop won the Junior High honors, and were “champs” of Northern Indiana in their division. The barracks were a two- story, brick construction with four portables. During this year prospects of new quarters were evident. The contract, for a large, new building west of the old one was let. The second year found the large and beautiful new building under construction. Toward the end of the first semester every Horseman wrote his or her name on a sheet of paper to be placed in the corner stone, at its laying, which followed a week later. During the second semester of this year the groups entered the new school. Ethel Gee and Edward Tockstein brought honors to the cavalry by winning first and second place in the declamatory contest. “In India”, an operetta, was also given this year. Two successful years had passed; the third year opened with an election of three Horsemen to head a body known as the Student Council. Walter Northey, Walter Berg, and Mary Louise Ringer were the successful candidates in this election. Class officers were next elected. Layton Fisher, Martin Bier, and Louise Tittle were chosen. The next big event was the “Junior Prom” which was fully enjoyed by all the cavalry. As they entered the next year of their journey, and looked back over the rough, adventurous ride, they felt a certain regret that they had reached the last stage of their ride together. The rush of events, however, soon made them forget this sadness. The year began with an election of an annual staff which supervised the production of the school’s first annual. The time soon came for choosing the official insignia which would be worn by all senior Horsemen hereafter. Be¬ fore long, rings and pins appeared on their fingers and lapels. An election of class officers took place with Garda Strange, Louise Nager, Marjorie Greatrex, Anna Unetich as our leaders. The bands stopped on their journey to perform “Pomander Walk”, the senior class play for the entertainment of all Horsemen. At last they had taken part in the final parade; namely, “Senior Farewell,” The ride was coming to an end; one day they dismounted with diplomas in hand as passwords to the “Land of Wisdom.” —Layton Fisher Page Sixteen JT HORACE MANUAL 11. 11 Nineteen Twenty-nine JJ Junior Catherine Hall Paul Cavanaugh Charlotte Gross Florence Brophv Eleanor Monahan Richard Shelly Martha Romanchek Louise Tittle Madalyn Fifield James Johnson Walter Berg Elizabeth Smith Maerose Curran WILLIAM FARQUHARSON i HORACE MANUAL 1- Nineteen Twenty-nine JJ Class Damaris Snell Gerald Johnson Mary Fitzgerald Harold Johnson Violet Scrobel Ella Porter Dorothy Wells John Doyne Dorothy Krowell Margaret Lyon Marion Scharr Ruth Lyon Dorothy Hoover Lucille Bambrough Page Eighteen 1 HORACE MANUAL T1 Nineteen Twenty-nine il Junior Clarence Nickels Tessie Hanzeros Grace Kirkland James Troutner Ruth Goodyear Bernice Mears Earl Keith Dorothy Lenhardt Rizera Mason Mildred Nance Frances Huber George Patterson Martin Bazik Carol Rollins Class Martha Wilt Frank Kurth Madalyn Lydon Marjorie Smith Robert Lee Bernice Williams Ronald Bush Rena Ruff Helen Brunswick Henry Rubel Tillie Koplivitz Clara Bruse Gertrude Beck Arthur Robinson f HORACE MANUAL II- Nineteen Twenty-nine Jl Junior Morris Stanley Margaret Raven scroft Virginia Straw Donald Davidson Lyle Gray Ethel Dolan Anne Nepsha WILLIAM KLUG Geraldine Tucker William Wheeler Jeanette Fisher Kathleen Sarkotich Frank Sisler Helen Verplank Class Margaret Salisbury Rudy Wuletick Margaret McArthur Fayne Johnson Lucille Shumate William Vician ANNE SLAPIKAS Anna Mae Shakes Freda Hartman Earhardt Ulrich Edward McKimmey Lois Pocock Margaret Theil Charles Atkins : IT HORACE MANUAL 11. 1L Nineteen Twenty-nine Ji Junior Virgil Kirkland ALICE BHIEL Olga Stanick Paula Lily Homer Stanton Nora Sweeney Gennevieve Gumbiner Frances Hulbert Arthur Anderson Mae Bobruk Richard Smilinac Ruby McCormick Eunice Brown Charles Fleischman Class Jean Barker Edward Wozniack Lillian Richardson Ted Cohn TRAVER HARTILL Catherine Smith Iola Gizer GEORGE SHOLTIS Clyde Erickson Marcella Watson Minnie Bell Mildred Vensel Louise McClusky Page Twenty-one Marvin Anderas Steve Baluk Mike Bassala Walter Borns George Browne Andy Brunansky Francis Carew Willard Conrad Walter Czarnecki Adolph Dargis Anthony DeVine Harold Cooper Robert Borns Elizabeth Adams Mary Jane Allen Jane Balcome Patricia Barrett Dove Beddow Mildred Bender Alice Biggs Evelyn Brouvett Dorothy Brown Tola Chasson Marion Chornack Irene Collins Page Twenty-two Margaret Collins Margaret Considine Rose Coomes Laura Cordtz Catherine Cregg Marie De St. Jean Helen Dinger Alice May Doran Kathryn Dorland Helena Durkott Wilma Barnex Violet Chalich Lewis Eccles Arthur Edelstein Wallace Edmonds Donald Elser Howard Ewing Wilbert Fleig Foley John Charles Frame William Funkey Arthur Glinstra Lloyd Goad Edmund Gorman Francis Hanson Sophomores Charles Harkness Eugene Harmon Paul Harrington Francis Higgins Donald Huettner John Holestak Everett Glancy Howard Goetz Florence Editz Marion Evans Mary Eversoll Gladys Fisher Geralding Floyd Blanche Forsythe Norma Frabel Wilma Gates Pansy Gray Viola Gibbons Zora Marie Griffith Anna Grobousky Amelia Gummienny Lydia Gunther Helen Hannaback Pearl Hepner Charlotte Gross Charles Jaske Richard Johnson Max Kapsch Leonard Karpen John Kenward James Kettle Mike Kochur Vincent Loosemore Nado Luzzato John Le Bouef Genevieve Jackson Frances Johnson Annabel Jones Ration Jones Lucille Kepner Dolores Kieffer Emma Kosche Loretta Kost Julia Kruck Katherine Kuss Libby Kreiger Audrey Laube June Lietz Lola Lincoln ‘ Marjorie Long Alice Ludberg Eilef.n Jones Virginia Jones Virginia Kyle Mary Jacob Henry Mack Allan Mac Issac Algerd Malisauskas Jack Marcus Raymond Maylater Leslie McDonald Dlyde Means Roy Miller Wilbur Mitchell Lyle Morrison Herbert Story William Nacy George Nf.be James Nelson John Newell Lloyd Norris Walter Novak William O’Donnell Albert Pagett Alex Papush Mike Pavlick John Pearson Franklin Phillips Gerald Pio James McDonald Edward Miller Frances Mazieka Genevieve McGinnity Betty McNeil Doris Miller Dorothy Mullan Jennie Nagy Virginia Neff Helen Parks Carolyn Petre Mary Jane Perzo Dorothy Phillips Marion Pripps Mikf.

The enrollment at m that time was nine students. Some of these boys have continued with the band without any extended absence. Great credit is due those who helped mould the project, now so much a part of the community life of the present fine school center at Horace Mann. Mr. C. D. Lutz, the principal, launched the project and was instrumental in placing in charge of the budding or¬ ganization, Mr. E. V. Roesler, who has continuously tried to make this department comparable to the splendid bands in other schools of the city. The faithful thirty-five boys who came to these evening rehearsals are the ones who are re¬ sponsible for putting the “Band Wagon” into motion. When that was done, it was easy to find plenty who were willing “to get on to ride.” This fact is evinced by the present enrollment of 210 children who meet every afternoon during the three hours from one to four. Among that num¬ ber there is included, the promising girl’s band of fifty-five pieces (still in the junior stage,) the boy’s junior band of seventy pieces, and the select boy’s Concert Band of seventy pieces; this lat¬ ter organization will extend to eighty when suitable instrumentation can be secured. Then too, there is a beginner’s class. The band has many loyal supporters, who have been firm friends in the past. The band stu¬ dents hope to further merit the loyalty of these promoters and to fulfill their expectations in the future.

It was composed of - -Junior High school boys. We were undefeated that year, winning eight straight games. The high spot of the season was a 28-0 victory over the La Porte High school second team. In 1926 we had to develop practically a new team as nearly all of our boys of the year before were transferred to Emerson. Our 1928 team was a powerful Junior High team and after winning eight straight victories we were defeated in the final game of the year by the Whiting High school team 7-0. In 1927 we had our first Varsity team composed of the ninth and tenth grades. Our season was very successful considering the fact that we played a very hard schedule against old established high schools. Our record was 3 victories, 2 ties and 3 defeats. The high spots were tie games with Tilden, Chicago High school champs and Mishawauka, Indiana Co-State champions for two years. We lost to Froebel one of the most powerful teams in the country 13-0 in a very bitter battle. In 1928 Horace Mann was represented by one of the most powerful football teams in the country. We were unbeaten until the end of the season, then we were defeated by Froe¬ bel 14-13 in a heart breaking game upon which the state championship hinged. BASKETBALL In basketball Horace Mann teams have set a great record considering the age and size of our school. The teams have improved steadily since our first Junior High team in 1925. In the past season Horace Mann was represented by one of the finest and most powerful teams ever in Northern Indiana. The high spots of the season were: seventeen straight victories, the defeat of both Emerson and Froebel in two of three games each, the winning of the Streator tournament, the Gary Sectional and Regional tournaments and the teams fine showing in the State finals. TRACK In track Horace Mann competed for the first time in ’28. Our team finished fifth in the Northern Indiana conference. This year we are represented by an excellent team that will no doubt finish with a great record. The splendid success of Horace Mann in athletics may be attributed to the great fight¬ ing qualities of our boys. They win or lose. They willingly train and condition themselves for contests. The fine spirit, enthusiasm, and loyalty of the student body in backing the teams have also proved a source of inspiration.

Varsity Football Veam HE Horace Mann Horsemen went through the 1928 season very successfully, by losing one game, winning 6, and tieing 1. The Red and White warriors upheld the standards of Steel City football by coming through the longest and most difficult schedule that has ever been taken up by a Horace Mann team. Walter Northey was placed on the All State; Frank Kurth and Virgil Kirkland had honorable mention. ; IT HORACE MANU AL ' 1L Nineteen Twenty-nine Season’s Scores Date Team Horace Mann Opps.

In the second start of the season the Horsemen found themselves able to crush Mt. Carmel 20-0. The contest was spectacular in spots and ragged in others. The following week the Horsemen journeyed to Mishawauka.. Our boys swept the Cavemen off their feet and came home on the long end of a 19-0 score. In a game featured by long runs the Red and White warriors defeated Calumet of Chicago 47-0. The Horsemen exhibited a powerful offense which featured sensational runs by Kirkland Elser, and Cavanaugh. The Horsemen scored their second Conference win of the year when they defeated the Washington Senators 12-6. This was the first game in which the Horsemen had been scored upon, In an intersectional match the Horsemen fought to a 6-6 tie with Ironwood. It was the closest battle ever fought by the Horsemen away from home. With 3 seconds left to play the Ironwood team tied the score and failed to make the extra point. A beautiful pass from Cavanaugh to Kos put the ball over for the Horsemen. Before one of the largest crowds that ever filled Gleason Field, the Horsemen tasted their only defeat of the season at the hands of Froebel. Horace Mann could not get the breaks and in the last start of the game Froebel was in the lead 14-13. In the last start of the season Horace Mann struggled and fought to earn a 7-6 victory over the “Golden Tornado” of Emerson. Page Forty-fee G ¥ A y lNNING 26 out of 29 games the Horsemen went through a season replete with thrillers, and success that was not exceeded in Northern Indiana. ' ' Featuring the season’s record of the Horsemen were: the championship of the Streator, Illinois, Invitational Tournament; a 16 game winning streak that gained state¬ wide attention; champions of the sectional and regional tournaments; an all season record of 26 games won, and 6 lost for a final percentage of .897; a tie for the runner-up position behind Froebel in the Northern Indiana High School Conference race.

Page Forty Six Page Forty-seven SPRING TRACK TEAM { HORACE MANUAL Tt ; Nineteen Twenty-nine iT Spring Football PRING Football practice at Horace Mann opened April 14 and closed May 24. The 1 purpose of the practice was to classify condition, and teach the rudiments of football to the squad members. Eighty-seven boys reported for practice on the opening day. Most of these boys were Freshmen and Sophomores. The squad was put through a hard course of fundamental football and conditioning exercises. The season was closed with a regulation game between the Red and White squads. A great deal of good was derived from the practice sessions. Some excellent material was uncovered for the Varsity football squad of ’29. Also the boys who were not physically qualified for football were benefitted greatly by the strenuous physical training exercises given in the course.

The doors of the ballroom in the Masonic Temple were thrown wide. Fully two hundred fastidiously attired ladies and gentlemen entered. “Let music, joy, beauty, and gayety reign!” laughingly chorused the group to the lurking, bent, old figure in the shadows of the vast out-of-doors: namely “Father Time!” i T M929 f, Ugit! bUt be f f ° re “ T ' me ” left he had recorded with red letters the junior prom- The Sophomore Hop NE of the most notable occasions of the school year 1928 was the Sophomore Hop held in the Girls’ Gymnasium, on Saturday, December 15. The gym was decorated with crepe paper until the original structure was hardly recog¬ nizable. The balcony, blackboards, and baskets were artistically arrayed in rose and grey; on the piano stood a beautiful basket of roses. Promptly at eight thirty o’clock Albert Hagerstrom’s orchestra struck up the stirring strains of “On Wisconsin” and the Grand march began with grandeur and pomp worthy of the stately sen¬ iors. Led by the class president, Virginia Neff, the couples promenaded about the dance floor sev¬ eral times, then drew out of line and proceeded to select partners for the various dances to follow. Programs which carried out the class colors were furnished each partner. Pretty girls decked out in their finery and boys dressed in new suits, with trousers pressed to a razor’s edge, presentecHtepleasing and picturesque scene. Among the celebrities who were present were Miss Neff and her escort, Basil Ray. Mrs. Pickard, sophomore sponsor, Mr. and Mrs. Schiess, and Mr. and Mrs. Flewelling. There were approximately one hundred and eighty guests. Robber dances, punch, and serpentine lent zest to the occasion, and increased the enjoyment. All dancing was carried on in a dignified, although not too formal manner. In the midst of a fox-trot balloons were tossed from the balcony and thereupon plentiful pins caused sounds resem¬ bling those of a bombing raid, much to the irritation of the feminine guests. Punctually at eleven thirty the orchestra began “Home Sweet Home” amidst a chorus of “aws.” After the last waltz, the young gentlemen and their charges slowly retired toward their respective homes all acknowledging having had a wonderful evening. ;ir HORACE MANUAL Tl ; IL Nineteen Twenty-nine Jr Tbhe Calendar SEPTEMBER 4—Many sleepy-eyed children stroll up and down the halls, swarming in front of the two offices— in other words “The first day of school”!

Views of the School (Continued ) The First Portable M HE above picture is of one of the first two portable school buildings to be erected at the m corner of Fifth avenue and Garfield. Formal application to the Gary Land company for the Horace Mann school site was made July 26, 1917. The two buildings were built during the latter part of 1917 and classes went into session April 1, 1918 under the supervision of Jefferson school. Mrs. Ballantyne was the first teacher. Forty-five children who had been in Jefferson school made up the class. Ronald Bush, Dorothy Vensel, and Minnie Anderson are the only ones of the group now in Horace Mann school. In 1919 three portable buildings were built just south of the two original buildings. In 1922 the East brick building was built. In 1923 two of the three portables which had been erected in 1919 were moved to a location just north of the East building. The next year the portable gymnas¬ ium was built. In 1924 the West building was constructed and on May 11, 1926, the contract for the main building was let. Miss Lola E. Pearcy came to the school as its teaching principal in 1920. She became full¬ time principal in 1922 and in 1924 Charles D. Lutz became principal of the school. The school shown above was conducted in the same manner as an old fashioned country school. f HORACE MANUAL 1 Nineteen Twenty-nine J[ Jokes The other day smoke was observed coming from 310.
