_ _ Horace oHVlanual 1931 Foreword GARY—A name to conjure up fancy in the most prosaic of minds — once a ter¬ ritory controlled by a despotic monarch ruling from another continent across the sea, a forsaken area of dunes and swamplands — today a city, part of the greatest de¬ mocracy in the world, alert and teeming with hustling thousands, the symbol of dreams developed into practical realities-—such is the atmosphere of romantic con¬ trast surrounding the city of Gary. While the busy colonies on the Atlantic sea coast were struggling with Indians, French soldiers, and a tyrannical British king, the territory surrounding the pres¬ ent city of Gary was the scene of more and more frequent visits of bearded fur traders, intrepid explorers, and heroic missionaries. Foremost among the last is the great Father Marquette, who in the later seventeenth century passed along the old lake trail, which is now part of Gary, on his way from Detroit to Fort Dearborn. The saintly Jesuit has left his mark on the history of this territory as well as on the history of the nation. For the next two centuries, hardy pioneers, first from France and then from New England, forged their way to the wild territory around the southern border of beautiful Lake Michigan and settled near the vast sand-dunes, but left that lone¬ some area intact in its fastness. In 1904, the United States Steel Corporation began a search for a location on which to build what was to become the largest steel plant in the world. It was then that our tract of duneland, on the southern shores of Lake Michigan, between the old villages of Miller and Tolleston, was chosen as the location of the new steel plant. This site offered every desirable advantage, having access to the coal mines of South¬ ern Indiana as well as to the ore beds of Northern Minnesota, possessing facilities for transportation either by land or by water and affording ample space for a great industry and an expanding city. Under the guidance of Judge Elbert H. Gary, from whom the city takes its name, the land was bought, the steel plant built, and the new city laid out over leveled dunes and reclaimed swampland. Since March 12, 1906, the date when Gary was incorporated as a city under the laws of the State of Indiana, its growth from nothing to the steel center of the world is regarded as little short of phenomenal. This rise from a handful of construc¬ tion laborers and engineers to a population of 100,000, meteoric though it may seem, is not in any sense of the word the result of a haphazard turn of fate or a mere chance of fortune. Gary’s growth is due to those farsighted pioneers who, appreciating and relig¬ iously believing in the possibities of the budding city, diligently and skillfully laid the plans and foundations of a community which in a short quarter of a century would rise from a dune wasteland to a city known throughout the nation for its sud¬ den growth and its progressive spirit. The theme of our book recalls the early days of Gary’s history and those noble pioneers from Father Marquette to Judge Gary, who glimpsing a duneland on a lakeshore, visioned the one, a mighty Christian civilization, the other a happy com¬ munity and a great industrial center. Horace oHHanual Published by the Graduating Class of Horace cJVlann High School Vol. Ill GARY, INDIANA 1931 In CyVfemoriam Edmund, “Ed”, Gorman was an average, all around decent boy. He was schol¬ arly yet active in extra-curricular activities, enjoying dramatics and athletics. Bus played prominent roles in numerous plays and was a member of the football squad. A Senior, and a member of the reserves, he had little chance for glory, yet he gave the game all he had, even his life. Fate did not strike amid glamor; he was not carried from the field. The fatal injury was sustained unknown to himself or to his coaches. In all his projects “Ed” tried hard to succeed, and with his passing, we lost a real boy. c Dedication In recognition of the devotion and courage of those who struggled with sand and wilderness to found a city whose people today enjoy peace, comfort, and success, the senior class proudly dedicates this third volume of the Horace Manual to THE PIONEERS OF GARY Dr. William E.

Bright spots of flowers, call of birds, a faint echo of waves. Surrounding all, a full silence. Twin buildings flanking Broadway, a gate¬ way of white stone. Across the avenue, two pools reflecting twin domes. A terraced park to frame 1 each pool, and shrubs, trees, grass, and pink petunias to fill the frame. All around — traffic noise, train calls, footfalls. Ahead — mills with black stacks breathing fire and smoke. Men’s lives timed to the whistle. Behind—busy living. An achievement in conquering the wil¬ derness — Broadway a short quarter of a century ago and today. City Scenes 1. City Church. 4. Gary State Bank. 7. Post Office. 2. Library. 5. Masonic Temple. 3.

Page Forty-eight O X ' ozinto Investigates Horace Mann School on the shores of ye Lake Michigan, in ye City of Gary, in th : s State of Indiana, and in these United States (with apologies to Ben) has been investigated with quite a bit of gusto by Nozinto’s committee of investigation, which has prepared the following unbiased report on the existing conditions in said institution and relates at length the status of the would-be graduating class of 1931: Hall order preserved by Mr. Fowble and his valiant captain, Charles (Feet) Harkness, is in a remarkably good state. The hall guard organization with such burly youths as A1 Pagett. or the smaller but none the less efficient young ladies as Margaret Ridgely, confront all with the stirring cry “VVheresyerpass?” However, at the suggestion of the bell, tinkling 10 minutes after any hour, this tranquil scene transforms into a raging chaos. Some 50 odd doors bang against steel cleets in the floor with a clanging clack and instantly corridors are jammed with thousands of shouting maniacs who rush excitedly to and fro. It is suggested that strangers having occasion to trek through the halls during this time be accompanied by adequate protection. Foremost in extra-curricular activities prevalent at Horace Mann is that ancient and traditional custom of assembling for a jovial get-together between classes at the center of the study hall. This has become quite an institution and despite efforts of noble faculty members such as Mr. Masters (who passes from group to group with a pleading look in his eyes beseeching the pupils please to move on) the custom seems firmly entrenched. In connection with this little diversion, a play¬ ful youth named Le Boeuf has the ludicrous manner of approaching the afore¬ mentioned group, picking out the most dignified young lady and good-naturedly smiting her with gusto in the small of the back, the while uttering jovial greetings of the day. This, obviously, produces amazing results. (For details see the Misses Pripps, Ford, et al.) The auditorium, a very integral part of the school, has a wide and varied num¬ ber of activities under its wing. Everything from operettas through class plays to music memory contests are instigated ins ' de its walls. Its members possess a per¬ plexing tendency to shriek uproarously at the least slip of the tongue of any har- rassed youth in program. Yet strangely, they fail to see humor in the most brilliant wit. should the words be meant to produce merriment. Before we go further we would like to commend one Don Elser for his grit and perseverance. Don. a weak, little, emaciated 210 pound boy. has striven with con¬ sistent fervor for athletic fame, but cruel fate decrees that he shall shine the seat of his sport trousers on pine planks. However, his great record with the Poetry Memory team compensates this athletic deficiency. Rumor has it that Fred (Moose) Stults has taken to idolatry. Friends claim to have seen Fred burning incense before a clay image—a Bar Clay image. Teachers are much concerned with antics of Alice Ludberg and Allan Mclsaac. who have been, as usual, acting exceedingly wild and boisterous. This shouting in study hall, throw ' ng books around in classrooms, and sliding down banisters must cease. Mr. Floyd Flynn, of the Science department, wishes to call attention to the exemplary conduct of two young gentlemen—Mr. Fox and Mr. Savage. These youths, although not associates, are as one in their docility and brilliance. Richard (Pussyfoot) Johnson has been clvded frequently for his innate ten¬ dency to remain in the background and refuse to comment on matters in class discussion—or otherwise. The Committee concludes its report with a warning to the nation to prepare itself for an onslaught of a graduating horde on or about June 17.

You give a start of dismay, for Bill, a demon with the girls, has recently been hounding you actually to ask one of the terrifying creatures to go to the Sophomore Hop with you. Being innately timorous of the fairer sex. you regard the proposition without any violent exhibition of en¬ thusiasm or ecstacy. On seeing Bill, then, you turn to flee, but his shout of joyful greeting wrings from you a groan of despair. Bill obtains a firm grasp on your collar, and asks, in a voice heard from one end of the hall to the other, if you have popped the question to any dame yet.” Observing several acquaintances staring amusedly in your direction, you curse Bill heartily (under your breath) for a blundering dolt, and reply meekly in the negative. Bill utters a sound of ineffable disgust, and exclaims, Ye gods, ain’t there any skirt a-tall you ' re sweet on? You look around, horror-stricken, to see if any one has overheard this last brazen remark. Bill, erroneously interpreting your re- connaisance as a cautious prelude to a confession of HF.R identity, eagerly bends closer. Studiously ignoring his look of anticipation, you mutter a promise to ‘‘see about it,” merely to remove his odious presence, and make good your escape. Cogitating upon the proposition, your mind conjures up a picture of yourself, sartorially impeccable, entering the ballroom with HER, a wisp of gorgeous radi¬ ance, clinging lightly to your arm. All eyes are drawn, as by a magnet, towards the doorway and a hush falls upon the crowd as you enter, nonchalantly unconscious of the envious stares and the admiring exclamations. At this point in your gratifying meditations, however, you are afflicted with a more severe shock than even the sight of Bill can give you, for suddenly you become aware of HF.R presence. You stagger perceptibly, and there is a sinking sensation at the pit of your stomach. With the instinct of the hunted animal, you turn to seek cover. Thank all the gods of chance that her attention is occupied just now by a couple of chattering females! At this moment, however, they turn away, leaving her standing alone. It is now or never — you tremble, and drops of cold perspiration trickle down your back. You gaze despairingly at the departing girls, hoping that they may yet turn and attract her attention, while you burrow for cover. But no, not one merciful back¬ ward glance do they bestow. At length she turns, and seeing you, smiles — dazzlingly. At this every last vestige of sanity and decorum deserts you. and you goggle helplessly. She is about to pass on, but, exerting your iron will, you shake off your recreant paralysis, and summoning all your virile faculties you finally manage to ejaculate a stuttering bleat. She pauses and looks at you expectantly, until finally, all attempts at precise grammar abandoned, you take a deep breath and plunge. I—I, uh - er, uh - ” Suddenly you see your way clear and rush forward. I-was-wonderin’-if-you-was- goin’to-the - the - the, uh - .” You stop. What in thunderation did they call the confounded affair anyway? A SKIP? This sounds vaguely familiar, but not quite plausible. You have about decided to hazard it regardless, when out of the kindness of her heart, she takes pity on your stumbling articulations. “Why, cer¬ tainly, I should be delighted to go to the Hop with you.” There! It is over, and how simple! You laugh at your silly fears. That is the way to be - forceful - aggressive: they succumb every time. You approach Bill in a swashbuckling manner, and after returning a con¬ temptuous affirmative to his oft-reiterated query, you shout her name at him; then leaving him gaping after you in awe. you continue your march of triumph.

I see em’rald valleys and prairies. Greener still from visits of spring: And the lakes besprinkled crystal Dew-like diamonds in God’s ring; Upon either side rugged mountains Dark heads capped by glistening snow; Their tall peaks against the heavens As healthy, red faces they show. Just above are soft fleecy cloudlets Garnet-hued from Sol’s dying rays; Twilight lends the day a blanket. And I start a bright, cheerful blaze. The grey dusk now fills upon daylight: And makes sentinels somber-eyed: Lights in far cities are shining: Night revels: the world’s glorified. MIRIAM WELCH THE FIVE-FIFTEEN An eerie whistle across the dunes Comes shrieking through the pines; Wending down the lonesome vales Shivering up our spines.

With Kieth Crown at the helm of the good ship “Horace Mann.” there need never be any question as to the prowess of the Horace Mann football team, for the wily mentor produced a fight¬ ing squad which lost but one game. SEPTEMBER 5: The 1930 edition of the Horace Mann High School football team opened its cur¬ rent season with a 2-0 victory over the LO-X. an independent aggregation of ex-high school and ex-college stars. The two points which Horace Mann made was the result of a safety late in the third quarter of the game. These two teams have clashed twice before, both games ending in a scoreless tie. SEPTEMBER 12: Directly following its initial appearance. Horace Mann smashed to a 12-0 victory over Lindbloom High School, of Chicago. The end of the football season found Lind- bloom the champions of Chicago, and it was against such a team that the Horsemen won a hard fought game. The local team’s first score came in the opening quarter. Gordon Miller, flashy Horseman fullback, after a 60-yard drive down the field, finally pushed the ball over the line on a spinner play, but the attempted extra point failed. The big boys from Chicago (and they were huskies) threatened to score repeatedlv throughout the first half but were repelled each time they were within scoring distance. A 14-yard dash by Herby Storey, diminutive halfback, late in the third period, featured the final touchdown drive. The game ended with the Big Red in possess ' on of the ball and steadily driving toward the Lindbloom goal. This was the first time that the Chicago eleven ever met the Horsemen. The defensive work of Miller and the aggressiveness of Storey were big factors in the defeat of Chicago’s highly touted eleven. SEPTEMBER 19: In the third game of the 1930 season. Horace Mann chalked up a rather un¬ impressive victory over Mishawaka on the latter’s home field. All of the home team s twelve points were accounted for by Don Elser. who. despite his 210 pounds, seems to be able to get away for at least one of these speedy sprints during the game. Don. by the way, has aspirations of making the Notre Dame varsity, and we wish him all the luck he might need—he’ll never need any if he plays the brand of ball of which he is capable. During this game it was not once but twice that Don raced past his opponents on the goal-ward journey, each run being over sixty yards. The first of these came in the second canto, Elser having received a pass and sprinted over the good old earth to the line marked “goal.” The other run came in the fourth quarter. Fine work on the part of both tackles, Kettle and Harkness. who stayed off Mishawaka thrusts at the line, was one reason the alma mater emerged victorious over the Cavemen, who have yet to win a game from the Horsemen. SEPTEMBER 25: This time it was under the “floods” of Gleason field but for some reason or other. Lady Luck destined that the Horsemen should lose the game in the last minute of play. The local gridders played the entire game without the services of the first team. The game itself, ending with Bronson Hall, of Notre Dame, holding a 7-0 victory, was about as interesting as a second rate ping-pong tournament. Neither team showed anything exceptional in the arts of the game and as the opponents were college boys, the defeat does not go in the red column as far as standing is con¬ cerned. The entire second team played a good game but fumbles proved costly to them. OCTOBER 3: South High, of Youngstown, proved to be but a minor obstacle for the Horse¬ men to overcome in their victory march with the Horsemen defeating them by a 32-14 score. The visitors had one consolation inasmuch as they were two touchdowns better than they were in 1929. This theory is based up on the fact that they scored one more touchdown and had one less touchdown scored against them than they did in the previous year. Elser and Dailey each scored two touchdowns while Herb Storey scored the fifth one. The only time that the outcome was vaguely undecided was when South marched down the field from their own 15-yard stripe to the coveted land called goal.” This touchdown made the score 19-14, but after that it was only a question of how many points the home team could chalk up. Malayter. all-city guard, was the star of the game, having recovered three fumbles which paved the way to touchdowns. OCTOBER 10: The Horsemen demonstrated their possibilities of being a contender f or the Indiana State Championship by lacing the Senators, of Washington High School, 20-7. It was Elser again who proved his mettle by scoring three touchdowns on re¬ ceiving an 18-yard pass, a 22-yard run. and a 26-yard run. Hecker, plunging full¬ back. scored both extra points on line smashes. The strategy of Keith Crown worked effectively, his boys using but 18 offensive plays to score 20 points. OCTOBER 16: Next in line came the Rough Riders of Roosevelt High School, also of East Chicago. Undefeated prior to this game, which was played on Friday night, and having been ranked as one of the foremost football teams in the state, the Rough Riders found their riding much too rough and finally succumbed by a 19-6 score. Hisnyik, the Roosevelt star who defeated Emerson practically single-handed, was kept well bottled while Dailey, of Horace Mann, took it upon himself to keep the Horsemen in front with his sensational romps at most opportune moments. OCTOBER 31: The first city series game in which Horace Mann played was with Froebel. The “Westsiders” were the heavy favorites in the game, but they succumbed by a 12-6 margin, an upset victory for the “Blue Devils.” The half ended with the Horsemen trailing and the spectators witnessing a great Froebel team down a sup¬ posedly greater Horace Mann team. As the second half began. Froebel again scored but failed to convert the extra point. Then came the Horsemen touchdown. Herb Storey dashed around left end and completely reversed his field to cross the chalk-line. From then on it was just a fight against the odds. NOVEMBER 6: Emerson’s Golden Tornado, the best team representing the Gold and Gray in five years, was the last team the Horsemen were required to play. Horace Mann, the under dogs as the result of the Froebel victory of the previous week, scored the first touchdown in the second quarter. Then Emerson scored their touchdown with three minutes to play in the first half. Both teams failed to convert the extra point so the score was 6-6 as the teams opened the second half. Don Elser scored the Red and White touchdown by sliding off tackle. With about two minutes to go and the ball on the Horace Mann 25-yard line, the alma mater put on a drive which brought them to Emerson’s five-yard line. From there the Horsemen pushed to the one-yard line as the gun cracked. Page Eighty-one VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Top Row: James L.

Even without a state championship the team’s accomplish¬ ments are satiating. Victory in the sec¬ tional, alone, is great, and to be ac¬ claimed the best team in the regional is an honor that can be surpassed only by a victory at the state. We. the student body, lay no claim to the team’s success; all credit must be placed with the c oach and the team. During the regular season the squad played just fair ball, receiving little support, but they kept plugging, with an eye slanted toward the tourneys. They refused to quit, progressed slowly and came with a rush to astound the critics. In the pre-tourney tilts the Horsemen were consistently in¬ consistent. One night they were champs riding the best of them, the next they ap¬ peared merely another team. Against the leading teams they played spectacular, intelligent basketball, but when playing weaker competition the environment or something had an ill effect. Not so in the sectional and regional. The Galloping Quintete hit its stride and breezed through all opponents like a “relentless ma¬ chine.’’ (N. S. W.) The tournament ten included: Captain Don Elser, Warren’s all-state center, and of whom no more need be said; Floyd “Spider” Thompson, smallest, most spec¬ tacular, and most consistent scorer of the squad; Charles “ Super-Suds” Sutherland, Tommy’s mate, and always reliable in a pinch; William F ' unkey. the possessor of a beautiful floor shot; Leon Daily, with his ability to cage ’em from the center; James Lee Johnson, “Fire Wagon Jim”; Rob¬ ert Sizes, whose six foot, six inch frame will be much talked of next year ; Don¬ ald Graves, who played consistently fine ball; William Kinnally, a guard of ability, and John Sudruff, a fighting chap who will be seen again next season. Now a word about the coach of these boys; he has ability to develop men. to instill in them courage and a will to win. and to teach them to play clean and hard.

Reserves These fellows comprise the reserve squad from which will be selected the future varsity team. They are the prelim boys who pass, dribble, and shoot in the initial contest on a dual game card. Some are good enough to play in a few varsity games, others seldom participate in a preliminary battle, but nevertheless faithfully prac¬ tice, hoping that they will realize the greatest reward that Horace Mann can offer an athlete: The acquisition of a “Major” letter. A word may be said here concerning reserve teams in general. If a boy re¬ mains on a reserve squad for several years it may be one of several reasons: He may lack physical strength and skill or he may be deficient in athletic insight, which includes courage, the greatest asset an athlete can possess. But playing with the seconds for years is not a disgrace by any means, providing the player refuses to quit, refuses to succumb to his deficiencies and weaknesses although sometimes dis¬ couraged. A reserve doesn’t indulge in self-commiseration, but plays the game, basically because he likes it. secondly because of the companionship and associations formed, and thirdly in order to develop a more perfect physique than his fellows. Even though he may never reach varsity athletics a sincere boy gains priceless experience. Page Eighty-five TRACK SQUAD Top Row: Coach Kominski. Simo Wuletich. Steve Sopocy, Louis Eccles.

Spikes crunch hard into cinders; lithe forms shoot diagonally forward; arms flying, knees pumping; face contorted: strained muscles lunge: a tape snaps and trembling sinews recover from exhaustion. The ancient sport, track,” is in progress. Since Adam ch ased goats in the Garden of Eden, men have been running against competition. They have run to develop physique, to win wagers, and for other sundry reasons. With schools came rivalry and competition wh ' ch led to organ¬ ized track and field teams. Horace Mann track has been organized for only about four years. Ambitious youngsters began their track career hopping and plodding over hill and dale. Later the track department was assigned to Rudolph Kominski and the first real track team came into existence. Last year’s record includes the following impressive victories: Second in Northwestern Annual Indoor Meet; first at Roosevelt; first in East Chicago Quadrangular Meet; second in City Meet; second in Marquette Relays; second in the N. I. H. S. A. Meet; a like position in the Sectional Meet, and fifth in the State Meet. In the National Inter-Scholastic Meet, at Chicago. Horace Mann placed eleventh among schools from every part of the United States. This year’s wearers of abbreviated accoutrements have started scampering and heaving with a rush. At Notre Dame, Don Riser eased the shot for a meet record; Bob Uphain and Walter Good scurried to places in the hurdle events; and to top it off, Mr. Good bounded to a place in the high jump. Charles Hecker and Tony Mazlack drove to seconds in the 440-yard dash. One week later Don continued record creating feats by establishing the meet record in the I. H. S. A. A. Indoor Meet at Bloomington. At East Chicago, a week later, the boys chose their events promiscu¬ ously and compiled 71 points to take everything but the starter gun. With veterans continuing at expected paces and yearlings developing it appears to be a bright season. Track, probably more than any other sport, depends on individual performance. With this in mind we shall dwell a moment on personalities. Mention athletics at Horace Mann and Hon Elser is thought of immediately. He not only holds records for the shot put and discus throw but also runs the hundred and furlong in mighty fast time. To qualify, Don rarely removes his sweat clothes, just nonchalantly steps up and heaves. In the National Interscholastic Meet last year he threw a discus for his first time and took fourth in the event. Capt. Charles “Feet” Harkness plods a fast half mile in that event and in the relays “Feet” has not yet rounded into form but last year was the city’s leading halfer.” “Old Hoss” Hecker is a fast fellow in the once-around event and is also a member of the relay team. Chuck starts slowly but comes like Simpson in the stretch. Tony Mazlack, is running mate, strides right at his heels: Tony also gallops in the relays. Walter Good, unfamed last season, has developed amazing alacrity and is one of the squad ' s most consistent point snatchers. Robert Upham is a veteran athlete and a versatile one. He is the fastest man on the team, the best hurdler, and an extraordinarily good jumper and vaulter. The rest of the team, while not garnering in a large sum of points, are to be lauded on their stick-to-it-ive-ness and occasionally great victories. Speaking of personalities, the one to whom Horace Mann owes its success in track is Coach Kominski. He made track an organization and developed from raw, inexperienced material teams that have been far from mediocre.

In the short span of two years Coach Kominski’s “Hill and Dalers” have developed into a formidable barrier for aspirants to the Big 17 Cross Country championship. The initial season of trotting hither and yon was completed with the acquiring of only one defeat and a quartette of victories; the second fall passed with a rise in victories and the annexation of the Championship Trophy of the Big 17 Conference of Northern Indiana. The inexperienced but well coached Horace Mann Harriers were led through a stiff schedule and on to victory by their gallant captain, Dick Snyder. Top Row: Coach Bergstrom, Junior Ilauger.

Swimming The Sea-Horsemen have been flipping their fins for only two years yet with the aid of superb coaching by Coach Hugh Bergstrom they have been able to splash in the best of company. This year’s school started with quite a ripple; with the team at full strength victories were as numerous as an oyster’s offspring, but un¬ fortunately the squad rarely retained its culmination of strength. Ineligibility sank some expected-to-be performers. Despite lack of calm waters the natators compiled a fair record in winning four and los ' ng eleven meets against the state’s best. The team’s it nerary included no schools in other states but did contain several trips to distant cities in Indiana. They have traveled to and paddled in some of Indiana’s best natatoriums. The most consistent point getters were Captain James McDonald, (100 and the 40-yard free style events), Gerald Beckham, (220-yard free style) and George Dorland. (backstroke). Captain McDonald was the most consistent and spectacular of Coach Bergstrom’s ducklings. In over fifteen meets he was defeated but twice and then only by a polyp’s tentacle. The finish of the 40-yard free style at the Big 17 Conference Meet was so close that the judges had to compare time to declare Mac second. Not daunted by this defeat, Jimmie slithered to a great victory in the 100-yard free style to become champ for this year in that event. Page Ninety-one inj Tennis TENNIS TEAM William Funkey, William Kollmar, Gerald Kramer and Eugene Harmon. Tennis, an ever-popular game, is the newest addition to the list of athletic activ¬ ities at Horace Mann, and considering their experience, the team piled up an en¬ viable record in winning five out of eight matches with one resulting in a tie. Mike Pepa, Bill Funkey. Gerald Kramer and Gene Harmon were the first four ranking players. Mike Pepa went to the semi-finals in the “Big 17” conference tournament. Capt. Bill Funkey, Gerald Kramer, Gene Harmon and Bill Kollmar are the play¬ ers who comprise the 1931 squad, and with this brilliant array of “racqueteers” the prospects for the coming season are more than bright. Two matches will be played with Emerson. Hammond. Roosevelt, E. C., and Crown Point. Girls CAthletic C Association President - Frances Welter Vice-President .Dorofthy G. Phillips Treasurer ... ..

Physical Education Director, formed a Girls’ Athletic Association, which has proven valuable as well as successful in four important ways: First, to develop higher ideals; second, to pro¬ mote athletics; third, to create a love of sports, and fourth, to foster the ideals of good sportmanship. The G. A. A. is made up of girls who have played on either major or minor teams. The major teams being; Hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, baseball and track. The minor teams are: Volleyball, captain ball, handball, dodgeball and tennis. A girl must earn one hundred points in order to be a member of G. A. A., and after she has earned one thousand points she receives a large emblem of Horace Mann G. A. A. This year the G. A. A. has been somewhat reorganized in the matter concern¬ ing the awarding of sweaters to the girls who have earned 2.000 points. Instead of being presented with sweaters the girls will receive pins with the G. A. A. insignia on them. The five girls who will receive pins are: Nellie Zahutnik. Elizabeth Puzas, Marion Chornak. Patricia Barrett. Clara Sprawls. These girls have earned 1.000 points and will receive an H. M. G. A. A. monogram: Claire Burke. Ethel Herndon, Mary Stahler, June Leitz, Frances Wel¬ ter. Dorothy G. Phillips. Iola Chasson. Mary Pysh. Lucille Hall. Nellie Zahutnik, Elizabeth Puzas, Mary Tokash, Irene Cline. Stephanie Dec and Emily Porter. It has been customary for the association at the close of each school year to hold an annual banquet at which each member, who has earned during the year the required number of points, receives a pin or an emblem. The G. A. A. banquet will be held th ' s year on June 9th. SENIORS— Clara Sproull. Marion Chornack. Mary Stephenson. Dorothy Mullan. Dorothy Phillips. Ruth Weaver. Eva Weidman. Stephanie Dec.

Hockey Hockev. being the first sport in the season, has always drawn a large group of sports-loving girls. This year an unusually large attendance turned out front which excellent teams were picked representing each grade in high school. 1 he Seniors displayed the best skill in team-work and in general playing by winning over both the Juniors and Sophomores.

Advisory Council The Advisory Council of Horace Mann School is made up of twelve members, parents of Horace Mann students, who constitute a parents’ advisory board for the school. They advise as to the policies of the school and bring in any criticisms made of the school. They make suggestions for the welfare of the student body. The Council is an extremely valuable group in promoting friendly and civic relations between the community and the school, and has given appreciable help in promoting student affairs. The Council is a self-perpetuating body. Six members retire from office each semester and choose their own successors. Mr. Lutz is the only permanent member. The Advisory Council was organized in October, 1929. The Council holds a luncheon meeting once a month in the school cafeteria. Since the above picture was taken, Mrs. Lydon, Mrs. McClimon, Mrs. Peet, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Millis and Mr. Olson have retired, choosing as their successors Mrs. William D. Davies, Mrs. E. E. Moore, Mrs. Mary Murphy, Mrs. Clifford Rowe, Mr. E. R. Housekeeper, Mrs. A. B. Dickson. Top Row: William Forsythe, Nancy Lewis. Walter Good, Charles Harkness. William O ' Donnell, James Hayes.

The Student Council After the election in April, politics count for little in this Council. Members forsake partisan ties to work with all sincerity for better student government. The board is at once a court of correction, court of appeals, and a legislative assembly. It is a body to which grievances may be appealed; when necessary, it sentences and punishes insubordinates. The personnel of the Council has been rearranged since its organization in September. The existing committee comprises; President. John Kenward; secretary, Virginia Neff; Senior class president. William O’Donnell: Senior class representatives, Richard C. Johnson and Frances Welter; Junior class president, James Hayes; Junior representatives, Walter Good and Miriam Welch: Sophomore president, James Johnson; Sophomore re presentatives. Wilmer Jensen and Cora Louise Allen: Freshman president. Bill Scrobel: Freshmen representatives, Wil¬ liam Forsythe and Nancy Lewis; chief of hall guards. Charles Harkness. Notable achievements of the council are: Issuing of credits to hall guards: establishing a novice dancing class and matinee dances bi-monthly: aiding in a civic drive to induce manufacturing concerns to Gary, and the development of a new system of election and installation of members to the Council which shall take effect September, 1931. Until now the Council has not exercised its full power but with the new rule which restricts members to only one activity, a great improvement is expected. Mr. Fowble, the adviser, expresses the opinion that the Council will some day almost entirely govern the student body. Page One Hundred. Five T° p Row: Allan Maclsaac, Raymond Malayter.

National Junior Honor Society The first chapter of the National Junior Honor Society was organized in Horace Mann in June, 1930. The purposes of this society are: 1. To create an enthusiasm for superior scholarship. 2. To stimulate a desire to serve faithfully one’s school and community. 3. To promote trustworthy leadership and loyal pupil citizenship. 4. To develop exemplary qualities of character in the pupils of American schools of junior high school level. The selection of members is made from among the pupils who rank in the upper ten per cent in scholarship. The flaming torch is the emblem of the society. This organization is sponsored by Miss Clara Stephens. Top Row: Louise Blair, June Daugherty. Fred Collins, Fred Sultz, Robert Fleshman, Geraldine Floyd, Louise Zimmerman.

This organization supplies news for the School Page of the Gary Post-Tribune and was first formed for that purpose. The head of the staff is the editor-in-chief, who compiles all news tips and makes all assign¬ ments. Next in rank is the managing editor, whose duty it is to see that the news is correctly and promptly written in compliance with all journalistic rules. Under the managing editor are four assistant editors, each of whom have a group of sub¬ ordinates under them who do the reporting. Each reporter hands his written article in to his editor, who goes over it carefully. All assistant editors turn their articles in to the managing editor. The final copy of the news is then corrected by the editor-in-chief and sent to the newspapers. Various plans have been used in organ¬ izing the staff but this most recent one, employing a division of labor, seems to have proved most effective. The officers of the staff during the year of 1930-31 are as follows: Iola Chas¬ son. editor-in-chief; Edith Fleming, managing editor; Mildred Shotwell, Arthur Edelstein, Alice Ludberg and Audrey Laube, assistant editors. Mrs. Schiess is the sponsor. _ Page One Hundred Eight ORCHESTRA Page One Hundred Ten Page One Hundred Eleven Page One Hundred Twelve Junior Play “TAMING OF THE SHREW Leading roles: Hughes Deputy.

In the Fall of 1930, charter mem¬ bers of the impending Horace Mann Dramatic Club assembled under the direction of Miss Madalene Bachman to decide what was to be done about the dramatic situ¬ ation. Heretofore dramatic standards had been upheld by class plays only. Adhering to convention, the group elected officers not for any practical reason, but simply be¬ cause it seemed the custom. John Kenward was chosen the much assaulted Ruler, Alice Hagerstrom was to be the custodian of the Strong Box. Regular meetings of the club are held at 1:15 daily during the school week and function with a minimum of strife. These meetings are devoted to developing and discussing plays, and many really fine things are accomplished. Even though in infancy much was expected of the Dramatic Club, and it not being proper to dis¬ appoint they delivered the proverbial goods; using Eugene O’Neil’s “He” as a vehicle, they rode to fame in the Gary High School Play Contest. With the opening of the second semester came a change in the executive staff, the former president retired and Robert Browne was drafted into the Exalted chair, Jayne Slocum was to lend moral support, and Miss Verna Harris was tendered the key to the treasures and the archives and pronounced Supreme Scribbler.

Fifteen in] CAlumni oY °ews -Sixteen of last year’s graduates have made a lasting name for themselves and their schools through outstanding work in scholarship, leadership or athletics. Lois Pocock left us in September to attend Stephen’s College in Columbia, Mis¬ souri. Because of her intensive study of foreign languages she made the upper third of her class and was elected to the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. This great honor is taken as a matter of course by Lois, who also takes an active part in the Delta Rho sorority basketball team. Margaret Ravenscroft. last year’s valedictorian, won a prize examination scholar¬ ship to the University of Chicago. Because of her superior intellectual ability she was elected to President Hutchin’s class. The class meets once a week to discuss literature. Each of the members has a key to the president’s library and is at liberty to go there whenever he so desires. John Doyne has excelled in scholarship, leadership and athletics at Marquette University. Milwaukee. He was elected president of the Freshman class and has been chosen Freshman cheer leader. Recntly he has won a prize for an economic essay. William Gellman has just been elected to a Freshman honor fraternity at the University of Indiana. Eleanor Dietrich, who was an assistant editor of the school page last year, is now a reporter on the Maroon news staff at the University of Chicago. Eleanor has also been elected to the Woman’s Council. Frank Kurth, Horace Mann’s ex-president, made both the Freshman and Var¬ sity football teams at Wittenburg College. Frank received a scholarship to Wit- tenburg. Billy Klug went to the University of West Virginia on a scholarship, and has been chosen captain of both the Freshman football and basketball teams. Gerald Johnson, who is attending the University of Chicago on an honor scholar¬ ship, was elected to the Men’s Commission on Social Service and Religion, and was on the Freshman track team. Harold Johnson, who is also at the University of Chicago, made the first Fresh¬ man football team. Maerose Curran, who won a scholarship to the Western State Teachers’ College, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was elected the most popular girl in school.

Dorothy Krowell. Robert Woods and Traver Hartill are enrolled at the University of In¬ diana. William Farquharson is attending De Pauw; Eunice Van Steenburg is go¬ ing to Ball State Teachers’ College; Andrew Baluk and Gladys Goad are at Purdue. Louise Tittle and Mary Fitzgerald entered St. Mary’s, at Notre Dame, Indiana. Louise Blair, Damaris Snell, Violet Scrobel, Paul Cavanaugh and Fayne John¬ son have been teaching the Freshmen and Sophomores of Horace Mann the wit of “Yessing and Knowing.” Society Mannequins with trailing skirts and tiny steps. Starched figures with spider waists. Shy, modest ladies, busily engaged in clubs, charity and so¬ ciety. In the drawing room or kitchen pots and pans, queens supreme. Sly damsels to be pur¬ sued. Gay sprites swinging care-free shoulders. In¬ dependent. confident, graceful figures in short skirts and sleeveless gowns. Laughing com¬ petitors with the modern youth, shoulder to shoulder down the road. The reserved maid of twenty-five years ago and the breathless girl of today. Calendar Nov. 7—Big bonfire and parade!

Page One Hundred Twenty-th Trip Through School Boys sitting on high stools with large drawings before them — these are the fu¬ ture builders of our nation. Perhaps some are designing airplanes, with visions of some day having one of their designs really used in the construction of one of these wonderful inventions. Or maybe, some have plans of houses before them — our future architects, hop¬ ing to some day be the designers of towering skyscrapers. To the boys of these classes have been awarded three first prizes from the Purdue University contests. In these classes are offered architectural, machine, structural, sheet metal, airplane, topographical and pro¬ jection. At the end of their pre¬ scribed course, a vocational diploma is awarded to them. Will not these boys go far in the world of engineering? In th ' s picture students are studying chemistry, the science that is related to everything on earth. No matter what part of chemistry we study, we find it a most engrossing subject. Beginning with atoms, elements and com¬ pounds, we progress to the inter¬ esting study of coal, iron and steel, the bread and butter of Gary, and many others, while all along experiments are performed so that there will be no dubious ones who believe that only seeing is believing.” While perhaps some from this group might become great and famous chemists, the greater part will benefit also by their knowledge and understanding of the marvels of this world. Girls, busily cutting, pinning, fitting and pressing — this is our sewing room. For where is the girl who does not find a great delight in clothes—both in choosing and in wearing them? To “sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,” was an accomplish¬ ment befitting a lady of the early centuries, but the busy modern miss in our classroom sews her fine seam to the tune of an electric sewing machine. Here she finds that an ample checking account will not open the doors to well- dressedness, but that a funda¬ mental knowledge of clothes is necessary. For instance, she learns that if she has been en¬ dowed with lovely auburn tresses she must never wear pink, though it may be her favorite color, and that those lovely large splashes of flowers never do justice to one of pleasingly plump” proportions. With these and many more ad¬ vices obtained in the class, she will sally forth as a lovely, well groomed lady. Page One Hundred Twenty-for Music and dramatics, the cultural things in life, are enjoyed in this auditorium. Here the music of the great masters, symphonies and overtures, are heard and taught to be appreciated. Singing, which always seems to lift our spirits, resounds through the auditorium every hour of the day. Here also plays are given; plays that are almost on a par with those of pro¬ fessionals and in which the youth¬ ful actors sometimes prove so able that to see their names in the bright lights of Broadway a few years hence would not seem a bit surprising. Students from other classes, anxious to show their genius, take part in amusing little programs. Perhaps it is a little French scene, or it might be an ancient Roman play, with the characters looking dignified in . their togas. Here men, prominent in the affairs of the city, come to speak to the students, offering perhaps bits of sagacious advice or tales of their experiences, i he students also have a chance to come forward and speak briefly about some event of present dav interest. Since Freshmen and Sophomores are required to be in aud¬ itorium one hour per days, this eliminates the possibility of any student, at some future time, saying, I opened my mouth but I could not speak a word.” All is quiet. Students are busily pouring over their books. Some are writing; some are industriously using a protractor or compass and are lost in deep thought. For this is our study hall. Some¬ where, there is heard a whisper, Oh. why do they give us all this home work?” But wouldn’t they rather be doing it here, with the library next door, than at home, with the library perhaps many blocks away? For it is always eas ' er to study here, where hun¬ dreds of others are doing the same thing, than to sit alone and think that all the bad breaks” come our wa y—here, misery loving company, if we may say it. Isabel Matters ’31. Girls’ Clubs A. E. P. SOPHOMORE HOP The Sophomore Hop was one of the finest and snappiest hops ever given. The girls’ gym was cleverly decorated with red and white and huge flood lights in the balcony were shaded with red and blue. The dance was held February 14. cele- briting Valentine’s Day. The grand march was led by James C. Johnson, presi¬ dent. and his partner. Miss Helen Morton, to the music of A1 Hagerstromis orchestra. The success of the dance was due to Charles Bublitz. Henrietta Johnston. W ilmer Jensen and Helen Morton. A. E. P. DANCE January 10th the A. E. P. Club gave their annual dance. Colors and clothes of every description helped to make the girls’ gym the scene of a south side bowerv. h ug e clothes line with motley colored raiment was extended diagonally across the gym from the balcony, where soft shaded lights produced a red glow. Lively music was furnished bv A1 Hagerstrom’s orchestra. The chairmen of the committees were: Verna Harris. Marion Pripps. Alma McDonald. Clara Bell Hughes and Dorothy BrHV The club officers are Dorothy Browne, president: Venita Tignor, vice-president; Clara Bell Hughes, secretary ; Dorothy Cash, treasurer. S. U. S. DANCE The girls’ gym was the scene of the S. U. S. dance. April 11th. Hundreds of crepe paper flowers in many colors helped to hide the bareness of the room. Re¬ volving lights from the balcony created a shifting scene of color. 1 he grand march was led bv Dorothy Phillips and Kenneth Sigermund. The music was furnished by Bob Boror and his Boys. Genevieve McGinnity. Frances Huber Mary Jane Allen. Dorris Miller. Dorothy Phillips, Frances Welter, June Lietz and Jean Hayes made the dance a success. THE JUNIOR PROM Formal! Eight o’clock! Masonic Temple! These words signify the Junior Prom, held on May 23rd with the Seniors as guests. To the strains of The Horace Mann Loyaltv Song the grand march by couples moved slowly down the ball room, divided, marched back and returned four abreast, led by the class president, James Haves, and his partner. Streamers and banners decorated the hall. Bob Borres and his Boys furnished the music. The Juniors responsible for the success of the dance were: Martha Johnson. Billy Kinnally. Dick Snyder. Florence Lewis Jean Haves. Ben Starr. Marjorie Grund. Joyce Mumaugh. William Fo ey Carol Pon. Wili am Jones. Mir ' am Welch, Margaret Duffy. Don Graves. Bob Heischman. Wal¬ ter Good and Gene Le Boeuf. SENIOR FAREWELL Farewell — Oh, what meaning this word has! Many Seniors had not fully realized the real meaning of it until the last moments. Then the departing Seniors mentally said farewell to all their old school days at Horace Mann and to their teachers who had guided them through school. But this did not mean that they would forget all the happy memories. These were cherished. The Seniors held their last get-together at an informal dance given in the Masonx Temple. June 13th. To William Funkey, Dorothy Browne. William O Don¬ nell. John Kenward, Verna Harris and Bob Browne go the laurels. Page One Hundred Twenty-u Autographs FINIS
