Horace Manual depression issue A defiant but somewhat nervous crowd of Freshmen fur¬ tively slunk into their respective rooms, sat on the edge of their seats and fearfully eyed their new teachers, for they were embarking on a momentous High School career. However, in spite of their unhappy condition M l they turned out a very good play The Poor Little Rich Girl . Gaining confidence in our next Sophomore year, we were able to look with sympathetic pity on the trials and tribu¬ lations of our successors. Some of us participated in The Gondoliers , a Gilbert and Sullivan creation directed and trained by Mrs. Sheehan. Then we tried our own hand and put over a marvelous play, The Romantic Age . Next we directed our attention to the Sophomore Hop which was held on Feb. 14, 1931. Jimmy Johnson, our Editor-in-Chief, then Pres, of the Soph, class, and his partner led the Grand March. 1931 marked 1st year of the Horace Mann boxing tournament which now, in its 3rd year, has been a chief source of entertain- ment for the boys and their fathers.

We turned our 100 for the formal dance of the year, the Junior-Senior Ball, which we and the Seniors collaborated in putting over. Altogether, it was a hilarious year as well as a step upward. At last we turned the corner of our Senior quarter, some 4 0 of us saddened at the thought of leaving the institution which had housed our worries and aspirations for the past four years, others looking forward with eager anticipation to a series of successes of which the time spent at HM was but the first step. The first event of our last year was the election in which we placed Russell Morrow as Pres., Harry Bortz Vice-pres., Mary Dale Cox, Sec ' 6; and James C. Johnson, Trea . Our executive staff very ably lead us through ' “ifrrepi tf alls cunningly laid and concealed by the spite- acuity. The Senior Play, Tradesman Turned Gentleman , a huge success. The greatest accomplishment of our class was this Scrapbook , fought for and attained by an intrepid staff. Thru the black discouragement of a world-wide depress¬ ion, the Horace Mann tradition-The Horace Manual—was kept up. William Welch ful was
