Horace Mann High School - Horace Manual Yearbook (Gary, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1938 volume:

:K: ' ■ J orace yyjanuai ■ .nother year! Another class reaches its culmination — the tenth class to be graduated bearing the seal of Horace Mann. Ten years at Horace Mann — ten memorable years! What has happened in those ten years? While the rest of the world experienced an eventful decade, what changes have been wrought in Horace Mann School? “What a sculptor is to marble, education is to the human soul.” To carry out this — his most cherished ideal — Horace Mann endeavored to develop the common school as a means of bringing instruction to rich and poor alike. One hundred years have passed since he began his work yet we who study and play in a school bearing his name realize that our modern education is the fruit of his early efforts. Each succeeding generation will benefit from his contributions and appreciate anew how much it owes to Horace Mann. The year at Horace Mann! Depression, recovery, re¬ cession! Yet school goes on unchanged! Class routines remain unbroken — varied by dances, plays, games, con- 4 tests, and holidays. That you may preserve and.cherish these memories more vividly we give you — The Year at Horace Mann! ■ BBi|- I -.! ■ ■ ■ n - - - -- HP Vv Jt.

Boston, Massachusetts Horace Mann Memorial Statue the little t ed Sck ool ...JdouM A small, square room, with walls and ceiling so poorly constructed that rain and snow came in unhindered — shivering children, weary dunces with pointed caps, gathered around a choked and smoking stove, a hickory stick attached to a heartless master perched behind a high formidable desk — these are symbols of the little red school house of one hundred years ago. Happily today we are far enough removed from this state of affairs to smile. In the early nineteenth century a few idealistic citizens realized that education needed expansion and democratization: but the public in general was apathetic, even hostile to tax-supported schools. Horace Mann was a lawyer, not an educator. Many social reforms claimed his time and effort: however, he felt that the very survival of democracy itself depended upon schools where ‘‘more and more of the children of the commonwealth are educated together under the same roof, on the same seats, with the same encouragements, rewards, punishments, and to the exclusion of adventitious and artificial distinctions.” Therefore in 1837 when the Secretaryship of the newly created State Board of Education was offered him, he renounced a lucrative law practice and a promising political career to accept an obscure post with a meager salary. During the next twelve years he lalx)red unceasingly to weld together the disorganized school districts of Massachusetts; to arouse public and parents to the need for sanitary, com¬ fortable schools and for well-trained teachers, free from [xilitical interference. As to the latter, he was really concerned. He conducted county teachers’ meetings where new ideas and methods of instruction were discussed. For example, he showed the absurdity of teaching children to spell words like procrastination, p-r-o-, pro, c-r-a-s-, eras, t-i-n-, tin, and so forth, when most of the poor little pig-tailed darlings didn’t know what the word meant. He served the Board of Education for twelve years, and then, as his more ambitious friends would have put it, “he came to his senses ” and entered once more into political life. A few years later, however, he rejected the proffered nomination for Governor of Massachusetts to become President of Antioch College that he might renew work which contributed so vitally to the progress of education. At Antioch he established an institution of higher learning open to all with no discriminations against sex, creed, or race. This was the man who has been called “The Father of the American Public School.” For one hundred years education has moved steadily in the direction which he indicated and today, as we see it a century along its path, his plans and ideas are still discernible. His life of service is a symbol to us of the challenge which he has expressed so effec¬ tively: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” wuse Early picture of Antioch College The common school is the institution ivhich can receive and train up children in the elements of all good knowledge and of virtue, before they are submitted to the alienating competitions of life—the common school is the greatest discovery ever made by man.” The First Horace Mann Building CHARLES D. LUTZ Principal 1924-1938 July 26, 1917 .. . .. . And the life embryo of Horace Mann School came into existence with the formal application to the Gary Land Company for the school site. The initial step in the devel¬ opment occurred on November 1, when the land was actually purchased. On April 1, 1918, Horace Mann’s first class convened; largely, so it seemed, as a branch of Jeffer¬ son. The approximate value of the school at the time of completion was $1,260,000 . . . various opinions have been offered as to its value today. Mrs. Ballantyne was the first teacher to grace an instructor’s desk at Horace Mann. Coach Crown and Mrs. Sheehan, however, are the pioneer members of our high school faculty. . . . Open-mouth, wide-eyed freshies” were first seen meandering about the halls in the autumn of 1924. Mr. Lutz, too, made his apjiearance that eventful fall. Yes, that year it all began!!! Mrs. Flewelling, Miss McWilliams, and Mrs. McClain were other faculty additions. Alas, when those same freshies became juniors, they were packed up “bag and baggage and sent to Emerson. So rapidly was our school expand¬ ing that there just wasn’t enough room for all. 192S brought Glen Hindman, Elmo Roesler, and consequently the first band to Horace Mann’s folds. It was a gala day, indeed, when our band made its first public appearance! Marching down Broadway in improvised uniforms of white pants and red sweaters, it created quite a sensation. Keith Crowi Gotha Sheehan May 11, 1926, was the memorable date on which the contract for the present school was let. Construction reached the jxrint of laying the corner stone on November 8, 1926.

T. C. unit originated upon Sergeant Harry H. Vondresack ' s arrival in 1926. That same year Mrs. Schiess invaded our premises. Startling things happened in 1927. The entire school occupied the newly-completed first floor of the main building while construction continued. Yes, with every falling of a 2 X 4 those down below were immeasurably thrilled. Our Student Council began under Mr. Fowble’s supervision almost immediately after his arrival. The annals of the or¬ ganization proudly record the days when the council had complete charge of the study halls. Walter Nolherly, the first president, with the assistance of other members, watched-over and regulated without thought of a teacher’s supervision. Miss Williams founded our auditorium departme nt that fall. Mr. French, Miss Hill, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Whiteman also became members of Horace Mann’s teaching staff in 1927. The fall of 1928 brought us the distinction of having a senior class. Mrs. Rustin was established as Mr. Lutz’s assistant. Our English department expanded with Miss Jennings’ appearance. Coach Kominski joined Coach Crown, and thus our present athletic development received further encouragement. Then to our General Shop came Mr. Bell. The last addition to 1928’s faculty was Mr. Masters whose knowledge greatly enriched our history staff. Today Mr. Masters bestows his time and judgment ELVA RUSTON Assistant Principal 1927-1938 in behalf of our rapidly growing Mann-U-Script. Mrs. Schiess is sponsor of the New- staff which originated that year. To the world at large 1929 is synonymous with “crash and depression”. To Horace Mann School, however, 1929 meant ascension to greater heights — scholastically, ath¬ letically, and socially. On June 18, 1929, forty-two seniors marched ceremoniously up the aisles of the Memorial Auditorium to become the proud possessors of the first diplomas ever issued by Horace Mann. Miss Kennedy, Mrs. Frolik, and Mr. Mc- Hargue joined our history department. A more extensive offering of specials was made possible when Miss Moe, Miss Skinner, Mr. Reising, and Miss Flanders, appeared at the scene of action. Miss Sherrick and Miss Stephens arrived to enlighten the students on the intricacies of foreign languages. Mrs. Suley’s coming marked the first growth of our science department. Mrs. Roy began her supervision of our health department. The fast growing social life at the school made an Advisory Council expedient. An enviable record was established when our football team, inspired by Coach Crown, was acclaimed state high school champion and our chapter of the National Honor Society, with Miss Jennings as .sponsor, received its charter. It was in this year, too, that under the expert guidance of Mrs. Pickard this publication, known as the Horace Manual, came into being! Our first annual!! And were we proud !! Yes — all this in ' 29. After three years of struggle for life, in 1930, the Dramatic Club finally became a recognized body. Meeting daily at 1:15 with Miss Bachman, this group discussed plays and make-up. John Kenward and Alice Hagerstrom were the first president and treas¬ urer resjjectively of this new organization that soon won wide recognition through its production of lie in the play contest. Miss Gorrell, who came that same fall, is now sponsor of the club. Miss Sharpe, Mrs. Zeigler, Mrs. Cline, and Mrs. McCarthy further enlarged the special departments which helped to improve our dexterity in the arts. Miss Heyburn and Miss Johns willingly brought their learning that they might, in turn, make our experiences richer. Miss Johns now leads the Discussion Club in its forensic activities. 1931 was a big year for the male division of Horace Mann ' s faculty. Coach Kerr began the training of our football team. Mr. Buck and Mr. Holliday brought in¬ struction in applied and theoretic sciences, respectively. Our mathematic department was marked by another advance in the guise of Miss Davison. Mr. Whiteman organized the Chemistry Club with a rather unusual purpose for an organization of this type. Every year at Christmas time the club as¬ sists needy families and has as its pride and joy” a rapidly growing scholarship fund for worthy students. That same year the senior class presented Little Women”, making dramatic history. Under-classmen were first rewarded this year by entrance into the Junior Honor S(Kiety, sponsored by Miss Stephens. Miss Wheeler, Miss Greensfelder, and Miss Brown joined our faculty in 1932. As a result we have our present sponsors for the Spanish Club, the Annual, and the Camera Club. On October 11, 1933, sixty members of biology classes banded together and formed the Biology Club. Then came 1934 ... the senior class came Smilin’ Through with great success in its class play. Bob Landeck was our out¬ standing man that year in a number of ac¬ tivities. The “freshies” startled upper class- men with a dance declared the best yet” . . . and all with a twenty-five dollar orches¬ tra. Miss Hillegoss and Mrs. Holmer be¬ came a part of Iann ' s teaching body. The Art Club, originating in 1934, had at the conclusion of the year a series of eight murals to show as its achievement. The sophomores in 1935 trailed with Alice through wonderland in its class play, while the seniors hit a new dramatic high with their production of “David Copper- field . Rose Mary Rose acquired the dis¬ tinction of being the first girl to preside over the Student Council. Mr. Cunningham and Mrs. Roper have been here since 1935. And once again in 1936 classes resumed — this year without the presence of one of the school’s kindliest but most effective leaders. During the summer Mrs. Pickard passed on, leaving a great void in the heart of the student body. No one can ever re¬ place her! With Tom Harmon as “all-state” quar¬ terback, our football team had no difficulty in again winning the state’s highest honors. The Camera Club and the Mann-U-Script became parts of our extra-curricular regime: Mr. Leith came and the Business Club be¬ gan. Mrs. Sorrell and Mrs. Simons also ar¬ rived in 1936. Our parents and teachers began to meet more frequently at our newly organized P. T. A. meetings. Tbe spring of ’37 marked the ninth class to be gradu¬ ated from Horace Mann School. Another year has passed and the panorama of Horace Mann has unrolled to June in the year 1938. Miss Bryan, Mr. Bunker, and Miss Evan have been added to our faculty. The tenth class is about to pass from the portals of our school. Instead of presenting further occurrences, which by now might be termed ancient history, the Senior Class of ' 38 offers for your approval this annual as a jiermanent record of the events of the past year.

Nominating committees are now elected by register classes: a school paper has been established; social clubs have agreed to con¬ tribute annually a definite sum to the Pickard Memorial Fund; matinee dances have been rescued from the pit of oblivion, and revived with the aid of the Preps’ Orchestra.

May: Citywide Council Convention at Horace Mann. The Council of ' 38 has left office with a creditable WJe i3e ln to duertise “And don ' t forget, hand your articles to Mrs. Schiess before noon on Tuesday, Editor-in-Chief, Dorothy Freeh, warns her eager staff of rejwrters. Then begins a search for news of athletics, social functions, activities, of various organizations, class elections and plays, or anything else that will make interesting reading. The reporter who hesitates is lost, for it is amazing how quickly the list of news-tips jx)sted in Room 312 is completely signed. Tf any reixjrter allows three weeks to slip by without produc¬ ing an article, he is minus a position on the staff. When Tuesday afternoon rolls around, news articles, written on paper of all sizes and colors, are examined and revised by Editor Freeh and Mrs. Schiess. Then they are typed on white paper by the technical members of the staff and are sent to our local newspaper office, where again they are revised and cut. Surviving articles appear on the School Page of the Gary Post-Tribune on Saturday night, and reporters lucky enough to have ““made the line ’ rejoice. dJe l decord the (dduents tLe l ear ' The school was empty except for the weary Annual Staff. Amid such questions as “Where’s my folder? — I know I put it here yesterday.” “Shirley, when will you have the calendar finished?” “Lorraine, are the Senior write-ups done?” “Paul, why don’t you take a picture of - ?” “Keck, have you got the books up-to-date?” “Saxton, what are you doing now?” the 1938 annuals were nearing completion. Now, since we’re afraid you’ll have a nervous breakdown as we almost did, we’ll take you back to the drowsy afternoons in the fall at 3: IS. Then room 309 wore a leisurely air. Those were the good old days when the staff was working on identifications of pictures and making brilliant plans, when candy sales were bringing pennies into the till. In October we invited the Annual Staffs from Emerson and Lew Wallace to a buffet supper and press conference. We gleaned many different ideas for the year-book from round table discussions with our guests and from our guest speaker, :Mr. Nelson of the Scholastic Editor. On December 10, we made merry in honor of Mary Henry, Shirley Bornstein, and Eileen Kaplan whose birthdays arrived on the same day. Along in January, the industrious Business Staff met to map out a campaign for selling the annuals. Remember the signs “Buy your annual before prices go up on March IS”? What a rush ' .here was the final day! Finally came that frantic Saturday before we went to press. With a lot of prodding, the write-ups were laboriously re-written, and pictures fitted together. Our masterpiece was assembled and sent to the printer. We breathed a sigh of relief as we crawled away to catch up on our sleep. As a last fling after annuals had been distributed, we had a beach party with plenty of food and plenty of fun. sMm WJe ncoufa e the lZ)n With a most promising group of neophytes and a well-seasoned group of stand-bys, the Dramatic Club has made four extraordinary contributions to the school ' s dramatic life. In addition to The Wonder Hat and The Pot Boiler, the club took over the respon¬ sibility of the Thanksgiving program which may soon equal the Christmas Pageant as a traditional Horace Mann event. The contest play, What Men Live By, was one of the most effective productions of the year. As a part of the study of technique the club made trips to Chicago to see Victoria Regina and various other plays. In the capacity of make-up slingers for all major productions, the members have become indispensable to the Auditorium department. The social events of the club were a trip to Hobart, where the contest play was pre¬ sented, a mid-year initiation, and the annual toboggan-chili party, at which as usual, the snow failed to put in an appearance. Junior Honor Society, 19.H-1938 ■ AJe euudpdthe . cLo iaPiLip the Unclepcia dmen Led by Robert Lucas, Jean Lauer, Betty eff, and Judith Sholtis under the able supervision of Miss Stephens, the Junior Honor Society has had an active year. A roller skating party given in February was so successful that the members have decided to make it an annual event. At the candle lighting ceremony held in May, twenty-five students were inducted into the Horace Mann Chapter of the National Society. The annual Spring Party, which is always celebrated with great hilarity by old members as well as new, swung itself in and swung the year out. A bottle labeletl HNO., disinterestedly returned the stare of an impudent Mickey Mouse: a Bunsen burner timidly peeked over the top of a can marked Green Beans ”. It was the Friday before Christmas in the Chemistry room. With President Jean Thatcher in the lead, and all the rest of her cohorts following, the Chemistry Club came out of seclusion at Christmas time long enough to distribute a supply of baskets to needy Gary families. The sponsor, Mr. Whiteman, reported that the members visited eight homes and left a large basket full of food and clothing at each. Each month the members of the Chemistry Club met in room 310 to di.scuss prob¬ lems of interest in science. Following a precedent set last spring, Mr. Whiteman ar¬ ranged for the Juniors and Seniors to go on a tour of the Steel mill. Then the Chemistry Club adjourned — till ne.xt Christmas. , , Biology Club, 1933-1938 Many people believe that only upper classmen are mature enough to conduct and manage a club with dignity and efficiency. They are mistaken. For proof behold the Biology Club. With a membership composed largely of Freshmen and Sophomores this society has flourished through a number of school years under the guidance of Mrs. Suley, biology instructor. The grou]) engages in many activities. Field trips and lectures encourage scholarship, while picnics and parties develop sociability. ))uring the Christmas season it contributed several baskets to the needy. Some of the lectures have been especially interesting. Rev. Schuster gave a talk on “Evolution and Religion”: Mr. Engles of the Isaac Walton League discussed the subject “What a Trout Fisherman Sees”; Miss Flaherty told of “Nature Study in the East”; and Miss McWilliams described “Alaska.” In the future the club hopes to maintain and improve the standard of its work. Any Iverson who takes Biology and maintains a “C” average is eligible for admission. In spite of its relatively small membership, this is one of the most constructive organizations in school. That’s some¬ thing for you upper clas.smen to think about. •,1 Top Row : Left to right—Richard Saxon. Tom Brown. Tom Bracken. Sara Lie Van.

Club, 1934-19.18 more Orotesque masks for the Christmas parade; unique decorations for all our dances; clever, eye-catching po.sters: anything that ordinary art classes can’t do-all the.se the Art Club must produce. Organized like a t lass, it studies the various phases of art culture such as sculpturing, water colors, and figure work. Strangers walking into the room are often startled by the sight of a student |3erched at a pre¬ carious angle on a desk. r- u- -v j In January the club left its studies long enough to hold initiation rites at President Art Cash s Ogden Dunes home. Two wayward neophytes, having disobeyed initiation orders, were severely spanked. Need I say a riotous time was had by all—all except the initiates who didn’t think it was so funny. The Art Club is Mrs. McClain’s one bright .spot in a splurge of embryo artists. When something par¬ ticularly intricate has to be done her motto is; “The Art Club can do itl We ele elease our l lietoncal ■ner ' Lei The Discussion Club is a unique organi¬ zation for it affords pupils an opportunity to talk and talk — unhindered. The number of participants varies, attendance depend¬ ing somewhat upon the topic to be debated and the mood of the students. Whether there be two or twenty, a meeting is held each Wednesday at four-fifteen. Subjects . are decided upon a week in advance thus V c-assuring the ambitious a chance to gather rnformation. •Although the club strives to conduct it¬ self with due dignity, discussions frequently become heated. Theories are torn into shreds. Opinions and counter opinions flow freely. Everyone forgets that he cannot set¬ tle world problems in a single session. •All, however, who have been privileged to participate in these forums emerge with a wholesome attitude of tolerance, a bet¬ ter understanding of modern problems, and increa.sed facility in expression. Camera Club. 1936-1938 Click! Click! Another camera is busy taking pictures for another camera fiend. We have about twenty .such addicts in our midst, brought together through the Camera C(iib for the purpose of fostering a deeper interest in photography. Inspired by its enthusiastic faculty )nsor, Miss Julia Brown, the Camera Club has really gone places and done things. This year the members have concentrated on learn¬ ing dark room procedure. Closeted in P resident Fletcher Thompson ' s dark room the development, printing, and enlarging of pictures have been demonstrated. A trip to Chicago and an interview with a commercial photographer completed another successful year. We€Jo.etLWoMofCo. If anyone wonders what accounted for the crowd of interested listeners in Room 210 on the third Wednesday of each month during the past year, we want him to know that it was the monthly meeting of the Business Club. Who could help being intere.sted when Mr. Jonnasch was demonstrating the Bur¬ roughs Bookkeeping Machine; when Miss Wise was explaining the various positions available in the Gary State Bank; when Mr. Edwards was telling about the telephone business and the use of the tele¬ phone: when Mr. Ball was giving details of the legal profession and r uirements for secretaries in that field; when Miss Klinedorf was talking on opportunities for students in the Civil Service field; or when Mis s Brown was showing movies of her last summer s trip to Europe. The club had some extra-special affairs, too. With the aid of ice cream and cookies, the cheer of the Christmas season |)ervaded its December meeting. Then later in the year, it departed for Chicago to visit the Board of Tradef the Quaker Oats Company, the Merchandise Mart, the National Broadcast¬ ing Station and Henrici ' s Restaurant—the club as a whole guarantees Henrici’s to anyone who wants a good meal in a pleasant, old-fashioned atmosphere. As a clima.x to their activities, these energetic souls donned their beach togs and rushed out to the lake for a spring picnic. Spanish Club, 1937-1938 We Wc u Lf ' e tile panisL ipanish ■La Cucaracha-I-a Cucaracha — The lusty singing of many voices in a strange tongue — clear liquid voices. The Spanish Club is in session. After school on the first Monday of every month, the members tune and stretch their vocal chords. President Wiggers calls the meeting to order and then off they go —singing in their adopted language the rhythmical Spanish tune—“La Cucaracha-La Cucaracha.” In spite of being a comparatively new group, the club has shown remarkable energy and capability in its activities. Quite an interesting feature was added this year to the regular meetings in the form of talks and subjects related to Spanish culture. Several students gave especially prepared reports and one of the faculty members. Miss Greensfelder, talked on Mexico. Having a yen for spicy Spanish dishes, the club treated itself to a native supper. With the suggestion of its sponsor. Miss Wheeler, it also held a co-party with the Emerson organization, and later a combination initiation-celebration in the gymnasium. Mann-U-Script, 1937-1938 WJe into Print As usual, everybody said, It ' s bound to be a flop. It ' s a dopey idea. You’ll never be able to do it!” But a few aspiring Juniors retorted Don’t worry, it’ll be a huge success: it’s a swell idea! We’ll do it!” — And so they did! They pushed and haggled, they petitioned and argued until the Student Council granted them what they wanted—an official charter for the organization of a school newspafwr. With Mr. Masters elected as the faculty sponsor, the newly ap|X)inted staff set to work. Ideas ix)p[)ed and .sputtered, pens dipped, ink flew, the mimeograph rattled on, and the Mann-U-Script sprung into being. Under the able editorship of James Burtle and Georgeanne Taylor, the hard-working staff has .suc¬ ceeded in bringing into being a pa|)er which comes out every other Wednesday at the |X)pular and eco¬ nomical price of three pennies. To climax a worthwhile year the Staff entertained its friends at a gay jx)t-luck supjier jiarty. And now the Mann-U-Script is one year old, celebrating its first birthday as one of the most prominent and successful activities in the .school curriculum. une in on eiiow .. 4mateiir The Horace Mann Radio Club has its headquarters in a small room to one side of the electric shop. Here amidst great piles of equipment, the members happily spend their time making and breaking things—with a purpose. This club, as its name implies, is interested in radio. Its constitution states, The object of this club shall be the encouragement and promotion of activities in amateur radio.” It has certainly lived up to this aim through the able sponsorship of Mr. Buck. The club has entered into advanced fields of practical electricity. The amplifying system rigged up by the boys illustrates this. They have had it working to good purpose at the football games and the Sectionals. Over it they blared forth inducing advertisements to the Mann-E-Acts and Freshman Flay. With it they brought life and sparkle to the matinee dances. You can expect to see them with their apparatus in all forthcoming affairs of importance. Besides the combined efforts displayed by the club, each member is interested in some special phase of electricity, connected with radio. So far only one of the boys, Reed Brainerd W 900b, has become a licensed amateur. However, many are striving for a license. Should they continue their efforts with as much industry as they have displayed this year—who knows how many amateurs Gary will have on the air in the future. School studies, then, ought to be so arranged as to promote a harmonious development of all the faculties.” OL ye ' ear m “Will the meeting please come to order?” queries little Georgie Lawrence. Giggles from the girls — a forced nonchalance from the boys — a look from the sponsor — and, the meeting came to order. Presi¬ dent Lawrence and his subordinate officers had this message for their classmates — “Our Radio Rescue is over. It was a big success. Now we must concentrate on our Frolic. It must be a bigger success.” A contest open to all Freshies brought forth the idea of a “Deep-sea Doodle.” Floating beneath the brine everyone, upper classmen included, had slews of fun at the final dance of the year — the Frolic. Then sophomore president Cash confronted his colleagues with similar concerns. Our lovely “Ka- trinkas” did their share early in the year. Marge, Bill, and Mark gave Art their staunch support when he started proceedings on the hop. Because of a scarcity of dates the sophs consented to give up their ideas of a Sylvan Swing and join the freshmen in their dance fest. The sophomore class, nevertheless, swung on down, and left in its path a record for future sophomore classes to emulate. Throughout the year Joe and the rest of the jolly juniors stored their energies for future use. The first attack of futures came when March stormed out like a lion and all the little Marches — namely, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Meg made an unforgetable impression on the minds of the student body. The two Marjories and Lindy helped select committees for the prom and offered advice and guidance in general. The juniors put their heads together with the seniors and a super prom was the result. And so we leave the juniors, confident that they will amble even further up the road to success than have their predecessors. Ju, First Row; Harriet Dacey. James Cut- shaw, Rarhara Davies.

While we sat huddled in the grand-stand under warm robes and blankets, our Band playing with blue fingers but plenty of zest, marched down the field with perfect ease and grace, and formed letters that made our chests swell with pride. While we went through our drills and folk dances at the exhibition, they helped us keep in time with their swinging rhythm. While we sat in silence at the Christmas Pageant, they fur¬ nished an effective musical atmosphere. However, the Band ' s crowning glory came on May sixth when its eighty-five mem¬ bers joined forces with the Junior and the Girls ' Bands to present the Annual Concert. Under the direction of Mr. E. V. Roesler, many fine selections were presented to a packed auditorium. At Easter time the boys of the band changed their chant from “Left, right — left, right to How many Easter Eggs . . .? Why? Because they decided they needed The whistle, starting another hour of struggle, sounds and Mr. Elmo V ' . Roesler, the chief, gradually gets the noise from eighty-five or ninety instruments under control. Upon entering the bandroom any afternoon about three-tbirty, one is startled with the sounds of music that strike his ear. Flach girl is rehearsing her jiart of a musical num¬ ber for the concert on May sixth. The baritone player is running over the polka; while directly behind her, the sousaphones (commonly known as basses) are struggling with a difficult run in the overture — and so on throughout the band. Waltzes, jxilkas, and marches blare forth together, forming discords that sound strange on the uninitiated. On some days, the girls prepare to march; the drum-major, Jeannette Carpenter, calls Fall in line,” and Attention.” The drums begin; row upm row of girls start tbeir march down the avenue. Students within the building, hearing the strains of martial music, realize with a thrill of pride that once again our band is on parade! The Sophomore Play . J atrinLa We had all heard of the great Russian Revolution, but, before the Sophomore play, had any of us heard of Katrinka, the little girl with the twinkling toes: of Peter, her younger brother; of Ivan and Mother Drovski and Peter and Marie Petrovski; the brave peasants working frantically with their printing press; of the Czar, Czarina and little Cz retches? The Sophomores brought these characters to life for us in one of the most colorful and dramatic plays of the year — “Katrinka. ” Bright-colored Russian costumes and scenery, graceful dances by both Katrinka and the ballet, and humorous bits by the Ballet Master, Ale.x, and Anna, helped lighten the rather heavy character parts taken by other members of the cast. Although they were j neeps in the field of class presentations this year, the Sophomores under the direction of Miss Gorrell, blazed the trail most satisfactorily. The Freshman Play I aclio l ei Whether this year’s Freshmen are an extraordinary crop or whether they just work unusually hard, we don’t know; they certainly presented a four-star play. Not only did they set a standard that upper-classmen found hard to beat in ticket-selling, but they also held the attention of their audience from the beginning to the end of their play. Shall we ever forget that wavering barrel top, Mike’s pitiful call for help while Jill and Sparky slept, or those dreadful moments of waiting for the fire to .start as the train came nearer and nearer? We will remember, too, for .sometime the prying Martha — we really didn’t know we had such a wonderful snooper in school — the plucky Jill, Sparky and Mike, the mean Mrs. Federling, and the sweet Miss Horton. Congratula¬ tions, Freshies. We think you did a wonderful job with Radio Rescue. Le (Loncei t OrcLestra Overtures, concertos, waltzes, marches—whatever you desire. The program of the concerts shows the great variety which our orchestra can perform. It gives not only one but two performances a year. At the ‘Pop Concert ” orchestrations by various members of this group are featured. Solos, demonstrating the individual skill, add to the variety of the concerts. “Service with a smile ” is the orchestra’s motto when it plays for class plays and other activities. The annual picnic to which the ’37 alumni were invited, clos another successful year. Darting figures in hoop skirts, glimpses of our friends in old fashioned gowns — th ! prepared us for a leisurely journey into the past with our Juniors in the well-know roles of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women , or so we thought — but weren’t we s® prised! So well had our Junior modernettes lost their own personalities in those of J Beth, and Teddy, that we—well, we just had to make new friends and to learn to love, weep, and rejoice with them. The task was not hard, especially with such grand char¬ acters as Meg, Amy, and John Brook keeping us in suspense every moment, h ' or a fresh and delightful presentation of an old, well-loved story, we thank you, Juniors! The Junior Play Yeomen ot man na yeomen of me ' =) Against the massive gray stone setting of old London tower, “The ' eomen of the Guard” combined humor and pathos in typical old English style. The newly discov¬ ered voices of Bob Beeching as the brave Colonel Fairfax, and Eloise Dee as the stroll¬ ing singer, Elsie, were added to the cast of old-timers. The antics of Ray Fry as Wil¬ fred, the fat nosetl jailor, were the source of many peals of laughter. In contrast to the u.sual happy ending of a light opera, “The Veomen of the Guard” was brought effectively to a close by the death of Point, the heroic jester, who fell at the feet Senior Play Cast Ja„e S. He«.. u.. v VL clmiralie (Lnclito At last a modern play! A fitting climax to the theatrical season was the Senior Class production of J. M. Barrie’s comedy, The Admirable Crichton”. A group of English lords and ladies are presented first in an English setting, then on an island in the South Seas, and finally again in England. The royalty are helpless in the inconveniences of the island until Crichton, the butler at home, takes command of the party. In the end a ship comes to take the group to civilization and Crichton, back to the rank not of King, but butler. For a new view of the supposedly dignified Seniors running around in leopard skins we are obligated to Miss Gorrell. ootLa Do you remember: The season opener with a sluggish Hobart team in which center went over once, and quarterback Robinson crossed the goal three times for an overwhelming 31-0 victory? Horsemen footballers—the battered, fatigued condition of the squad after the Massillon battle and then the board like beds and the antiquated equipment of the Conrad Hotel? Coach Kerr—the many hours Comer had to practice before he developed into a con¬ sistent punter toward the last of the season? The itinerant fans—the massacre of our scrapping boys by a powerful Oak Park team? The game we lost to Wallace by the score of.. . Forget it. The Whiting game which featured a revised Horace Mann backfield and a first class exhibition of the grit of the fighting Horsemen? Loyal Horsemen—the muddy, rain drenched struggle with Froebel in which Morri¬ son’s headwork and Lehman s quick handwork gave us another victory? Fellow Byrd-men—the snow banked setting of the disastrous {wst-season game with the friendly” Tornado? The hard, driving play of Captain James Mathews, newcomer John Ralles, Joe Brosak, and many other members of the team of 1937? Football tennis Everybody likes to “swing it”, including our tennis team. The it referred to is the wood and gut combination, commonly called a tennis racquet. With but two veterans re¬ maining, the team, lacking experience, suc¬ ceeded in winning only one match. Prob¬ ably a few side glances may prove more interesting, however. After the Washing¬ ton-East Chicago match, the Lutz car failed to put in an appearance, but the team, am¬ ply supplied with thumbs, straggled home a la hitch-hike. In the Horace Iann-Emer- son contest, Gaebe and his opponent were called because of darkness. Phil may not have the eyes of a cat, but he is usually very agile on the court. To add to these woeful incidents, the tennis season is dwarfed by football: the team has no coach and must furnish all its own equipment except for tennis balls. This is indeed a sad story but then, the tennis team faces almost the same trials every year. EaiLlLit 1937-1938 Ho, hum, sighed Venn as he relaxed on the couch before beginning his homework. Basketball season starts next week; wish I knew how the season will end.” . . . “Concentrate with me, muttered Zandu, the turbaned Hindu mystic, to his young American visitor. The palms around Taj Mahal waved in the gentle breeze. Zandu began his monotone, I see ten young fellows, five in red trunks and shirts and five others whose colors keep changing. While they run about, they throw a sphere at each other; occasionally at a ring high in the air. A large sign bearing numerals is continually crossing the picture. One set of numbers labeled H. Si. has a larger total . . . one, two . . . five times; then Froebel receives more points.- Three larger . . . two smaller . . . larger ... smaller, smaller. A mist is shielding the signs, puffed the mystic as he patted his wet brow. Soon he resumed his chant, The sign now carries a placard lettered Sectional Tournament ' . The red players have a greater total in one, two, three con¬ tests; then on board marked Finals’ they have a smaller. . . . Suddenly the great tem¬ ple shuddered; the wind rose; the walls swayed. Leaping to his feet the young visitor raced down the corridor toward the entrance. Just as he reached the steps the earth opened wide under him and he went down, down . . . Thump! What a dream,’’ said V’ern, as he sat on the floor and rubbed his eyes. Swimmin 93 7 - 938 Old Neptune swam slowly to the shelf in his library marked Earth Fishes. Taking down a volume labeled Midwest High Schools, he thumbed the pages meditatively until he came to Horace Mann, Gary. Here is a school that always has a fighting team,” rumbled Neptune approvingly. His scaly finger moved down the record for 1937-38. “The Horace Mann swimmers won four contests with single opponents before they lost one.” The old sea dog stroked his beard as he looked at the schedule. After this fellow Ed Kostblade became ill and dropped out, the body had some hard luck in losing two more meets. They placed third in the Conference and State swimming contests. These earth fishes by the name of Nordquist, Jessup, and Burks were near the front all the time. A fine record; yes, it was a good season, nodded the sea god as he slipped the book back on the shelf and stroked away. eaJon 1938 Individual stars were rare in the track team of 1938; however, a well-halanced squad made up this deficiency. For the first time in several years the Horsemen, in addition to points in the running events, could depend on points in almost all field contests. The team got off to a slow start, but took runner-up honors in the City, NIHSC, and Sectional meets. Dashes: Sons-of-Mercury: Comer, Hamilton, and Eikenbary turned in commendable records this spring in spite of the fact that Darue and Marty were first-year men in track. Quarter Mile: The red and white twins, Arny Olson and Bob Boehler, taught several of the district’s leading quarter-men how to run their s|)ecialty. Distance Runs: Iron Man, Jack King, was recognized as the leading miler in this section of the state. Much and Eleopolus placed in several meets. High and Low Hurdles: Dan Uzelac as a triple threat point collector was probably the greatest factor in placing the team near the top in later meets. Dave Jones developed into a definite threat for all placing contenders in the 200 yard lows. Relays: Olson, Fitzgerald, Robinson, and Boehler showed their heels to all local combinations by lS-30 yards. Their 3:29.3 in the sectional meet broke the former record of 3:33. Broad Jump: In his third threat Dan Uzelac placed in nearly all the meets and drew a first in the sec- . , tional. jLiJrShot Put: Charley Block heaved the shot for several wins over veteran local shot putters. Pole Vault: When Bob Carr stores his pole this June, he will have an enviable record for a first year man. High Jump: Lynn Harris is developing into a dependable point earner.

Third Row: Dick West ountru 1937 It is the Cross Country Conference meet at Mishawaka and a blizzard has begun. As the runners complete one and a half miles we find Coach Komini.ski pacing up and down at the finish line . . . “One half mile left to go . . . the boys haven’t done so badly this year. We won four dual meets and lost one ... a quarter of a mile more . . . Hammond and Mishawaka defeated us in a triangular meet, but they are exception¬ ally good teams . . . Come on King, dig!

Hey, Yar- nold, where are my car keys?” ifes, Szi Sk ' x-;; J oyace cXette OL .O.V.C. To one unaccustomed to the precision of army operation, the snap with which the R.O.T.C. is organ¬ ized in the fall might be mildly astonishing. Within a mere three weeks after school convenes, the R.O.T.C., with vacancies fdled, uniforms issued, and officers appointed, may be seen maneuvering in the streets west of school, or going through more intricate drills in the athletic field. In this short period, third year cadets are tested for the posts of officers and receive their assignments. Of course, since mili¬ tary is entirely different from other forms of drilling, it is necessary for the new cadets to become proficient in the manual of arms and science of military tactics. Naturally, this intricate machine requires very able leadership in order that it may be kept in top- notch order at all times. Captain Harris, well-assisted by Staff Sergeant V ' ondrasek, is responsible for the efficiency with which the R.O.T.C. moves. When the coming of winter weather suspends outdoor drilling, indoor activities must necessarily be substituted. A well-rounded course in many phases of military science is taught during the winter months, providing training in leadership and character, two very necessary fundamentals. Among the subjects touched by this course are sanitation and first aid, marksmanship, military history, map read¬ ing, employment of infantry wea[X)ns, and combat principles. Cadets who show aptitude in rifle marksmanship are given an opportunity to try out for the unit rifle team. This team competes with other Gary schools, and this year, eVen made several victorious trips into Chicago to compete with h ' vanston, Hirsch, and Morgan Park. The team had remarkable success, with a record of only one defeat. With the return of spring, the instruction again shifts to the outdoors. Drilling becomes intense as everyone realizes that the P ' ederal Inspection and Field Day is not far off. During the month of May the competition becomes high between the two companies stationed at Horace Mann for of these two, the better is selected for the drill company. As a diversion from drill, the Military Ball, sponsored by the newly formed Officers’ Club, was held at the Masonic Temple. Every year a success, it ranks as one of the best dances on the school calendar. Late in May, the Federal Inspector arrives and puts the units through their paces. The drill company shows him the extent of their proficiency in drill, while the other unit answers questions on the subjects studied during the winter. After the review, all schools in the Corps Area are classed — the outstanding one receiving honors. In the afternoon of the same day, the entire Gary Schools Regiment holds a mili¬ tary review, for the purpose of making awards. The splendid sight is watched from the bleachers by crowds of interested onlookers. To end a year full of activity, the Decoration Day Parade offers a fitting opportunity for a public display of the year’s work. QJi’ iSoclation Years ago they wore long white middy blouses and volumptuous black bloomers. Now they clad themselves in scant green gym suits. But dressed in bloomers or gym suits, the Girls Athletic Association fundamentally remains the same, holding high its fine purpose of fostering good sportsmanship among its members, through the promo¬ tion of class tournaments in the major sports of hockey, soccer, captainball, basketball, volley ball and swimming. This year, besides the many seasonal athletic activities, the girls indulged in a bit of social life. Around St. Patrick’s day, to the tune of the gay Irjsh song — “The Wearin’ of the Green” — the G. A. A. members swayed and whirled through their annual dance. The organization held its usual spring banquet. Here all monograms and pins won by the girls during the course of the year, were distributed. The numbers of emblems, sweaters, and buttons, presented to worthy members ably proved what a zealous, active, and inspiring group the G. A. A. really is. —joccer “Ouch, my shin! ”— “Get off my toe! ” So many of our over-enthusiastic players miss that bouncing object anti come in contact with a more vulnerable spot. Soccer, that harmless sport, was resumed this year replacing speedball. The Seniors are just too good, for they ran off with the championship again by “skunking” all opposition. One of the most vigorous kickers was Pauline Mock, who became the mainstay of the win¬ ning team. The stage was set for the final act in the Captainball elimination tournament. Fresh¬ man and Sophomore teams had been handily placed on the defeated list and the Juniors and Seniors faced each other in the play-off game. Hette Laws played hard to bring the Seniors victory, but in vain. In the end, the Juniors triumphed and the Seniors nursed a broken record and a shattered morale—for the first time this year. Ground Stick; Ground Stick; Ground Stick; Hit! . . . These are the familiar strains heard every year which announce the beginning of field hockey. This year the tourna¬ ment got under way with the Juniors and Seniors succeeding in wiping out the lower classmen. In a close game between the two upi er classmen the Seniors (under the direction of a skillful player, Janet Hodge , emerged victorious by a score of 3-1. KdetUi bellowed the Juniors after being def by a superb group of players. Laura Carney, who engineered the Senior was one guard that prevented the sha of shooters from even starting to aim. girls have long desired their game 1 more like boys ' basketball. This ye£ the gratification of all concerned, the Splash! the natators displaying the sj eed most resembling that of the piscatorial species, hit the water and the inter-class swimming meet got under way. The unruffled blue surface of the pool became white with splashing foam. Smooth limbs cut the water with the swiftness of greased lightning. The girls displayed masterful back-strokes and breast-strokes and swift polished crawls. As the contest progressed the Juniors forged ahead. Undaunted through several meets these Juniors, still in the lead, shot to victory over all opponents. Volte LK Jostling bodies—the thump of feet—high-pitched feminine shrieks—and, finally, the shrill call of the whistle, suspending the scramble. Two hands, pl-lease.” This com¬ mand echoes incessantly throughout the girls’ gym during the volleyball season. Quite simple words, but also quite a task to execute. Even the G. A. A. teams had difficulty. The Seniors battered into defeat every team with whom they came in contact. How¬ ever, the Sophomores showed remarkable aggressiveness by utterly vanquishing the Juniors and nearly whipping the Seniors. There was no little uneasiness as the two upperclass teams locked horns. When the debris had all been cleared away, it was found that the Seniors had again copped the honors. To enjoy life is the aim of the A. E. P. and the jjresent members, under the leader¬ ship of President Alice Dwyer, set out to fulfdl this aim wholeheartedly. Their open¬ ing social at Kathryn Monahan’s—their to¬ boggan party which turned into an evening at the V. W. C. A. — their Carnival Dance with everything from the fat lady to the snake-charmer adorning the walls, with Mickey Isley’s orchestra playing and with crowds of students in cocky little carnival hats dancing to their heart’s content, their spring party given with the S. U. S. at Mar¬ quette Park . . . provided plenty of good times for a fun-loving club. S US. When Peg Call and Conse were elected to office last year, everyone knew S. U. S. was destined to have a rollicking time this year — and they weren ' t disappointed. A beach party at Peg’s cottage—a Scavenger Hunt at the Scout Hut — a Scrimmage Dance complete with football heroes, ban¬ ners, pennant programs, and a large crowd — a hike to the Dunes for a steak fry (also attended by ants and sand) — a lovely Mother’s Day Tea — and a joint Spring For¬ mal with the E. P. at Marquette Park are ample prtiof that when the S. U. S. sets out to have a good time, it really accom¬ plishes its aim! LJ f a Lli ft Pledge party, kid party, keeno party,— all kinds of parties! That ' s what has com¬ posed the social calendar of the T. J. C. this year. An excellent start was made by a success¬ ful dance. The Hula Heavan, and a pro¬ gressive dinner. The.se were followed by .several social functions including a gay and entertaining date night ami a theatre party. In June, a plea.sant and active .social year was climaxed by a tea honoring the .senior members. 2).UX. •Here comes the steamboat! The trim ship D. U. X. shoved out into the current and headed upstream toward port ' 38. Cap¬ tain Varnold stood at the wheel with senior officers ably assisting in the executive du¬ ties. Lending aid to the regular crew were twelve new men who replac those dropped at [X)rt ' 37. A few miles upstream Noel Hall’s orchestra and many sailor girls were taken aboard for a few hours of entertain¬ ment. Next to come up the gangplank were basketball teams from the V. V. C. club. The tall members of the 1). L’. X. crew were defeated twice, and the smaller members once, in four hard fought games. Point Mann-E-Acts ap[)eared off the starboard and the D. U. X. put ashore while three members of her crew took part in the big show. A .short time later all the crew went down into the hold from which the newer members of the crew emerged .slowly—one by one! few m iles from the home jx)rt a great banquet was held in the ship ' s din¬ ing hall, and then . . . port ’38 hove into sight around the bend. cp.n. w.v.c. With its membership swelled to thirty-five, the W.V.C. clicked its heels and sprinted off to its most eventful year. Soon after the beginning of activities, trouble’s ugly head loomed in consequence of a rip-roaring initiation held in the girls’ gym. It seems that the initiators were a bit indiscriminate in their hurling of eggs and other debris. Two dismal figures waiting in the cold gray dawn were the result of a bright idea from Mr. Adams, supposed to crystallize into a Thanksgiving Breakfast. Hark and Bob were the sole enthusiasts when the hour arriv . This activity was .supplemented by a Christmas party at the Scout Hut. So finished the first semester. Rolling along into the second semester, a D.U.X.-W.V.C. ba.sketball game was brought to a success¬ ful finish — for the W.V’.C. Things progressed merrily for a while during thfr first part of April when the club presented its first dance — The Sultan Swing—a function receiving wide acclaim. This triumph was followed with a melodrama of the great out-doors under the auspicious tftlb ‘Nature in the Raw is Seldom Mild” presented in the Mann-E-Acts. A successful camping trip ancf a Senior Farewell party rounded out the club calendar. ’ - Under the capable leadership of President “Hutch’’ the ' girls in S.A.H. wound up the year as merrily as they started it with a skating party. At every turn of the skating rink S.A.H. members collided with C.P.T. girls—maybe this was because C.P.T. was co-hostess. Spills and tumbles only added to the gaiety. All who danced to the strains of Norm Care’s orchestra at the “Sundae Strut” acclaimed it a big success. Just the sight of the sodas and sundaes planted on the walls produced excess poundage, and made us realize why every Shadow Smart loves every Sugar Bowl. Harking back to the frivolities of youth, the girls romped over to Ruth Much’s for a kid party.’’ Hair ribbons, dolls, and lollypops put everyone in the proper kindergarten mood. The close of a memor¬ able year brought regret mingled with happy memories to all members. LanL the Yl einones . . . The staccato rah, rah, rah of shrill voices cheering at football games . . . the smooth richness of a double chocolate milk shake at Markman ' s ... the undertone of shuffling feet, squeaking desks, and rasping whispers that permeates the study hall ... the jittery e.xcitement of report card day . . . hearty voices booming, “Oh, Horace Mann, we re true to you, altho we roam the whole world through. Forever and ever . . .” . . . .seeing our noble pedagogues discard their classroom dignity for the gay hilarity of the donkey basketball game ... the pulsing, throbbing rhythm of swing music ... the beautiful, quiet solemnity of the Christmas pageant ... the tense, heavy silence during an exam ... the tempting, pungent aroma of Dietrichs’ hamburgers . . . blaring blast of bugles and cra.shing lockers and shrieking voices ... the pandemonium at 4:10.

U. X. floored the entire high school by hanging up their posters 23 days ahead of time. 6th — Today we celebrated Fire Prevention Week.

After sitting in classes at Horace Mann for 11 years, 3 months, and 1 day; we finally learned what makes the machinery of the Gary School system go round.

But as enthusiastically as we trotted in we trotted out — holding our noses. (Some sweet pal of Jake ' s had planted a stench bomb in one of the booths.) 25th — Today we were thankful for many things—thankful that we would be able to gorge ourselves with a savory turkey dinner — thankful that we won the basketball game last night — and doubly thankful that we didn ' t have to climb out of our warm cozy beds to go to school. 8th — Gladly chucking our homework, we hurried over to the Memorial Auditorium to see our team lord over Lew Wallace at the basketball game.

Going to school we bumped down stejrs and flopped on pavements. Clum¬ sily sprawled in the middle of the street, we watched with bitter envy, Larry Chamberlain sail smoothly to school on his ice skates. 15th — We were very hungry today — no lunch.
