. . . 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.

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”

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.
