THE BIG THREE Horace Mann, like many other schools all over the United States, of¬ fers its pupils a chance to learn the problems of democracy first hand. A casual observer of Horace Mann would undoubtedly be amazed at the spirited campaigning that goes on whenever the student body elects representatives to the Student Council, Booster Club, and Social Committee and Social Club Board, alias the Big Chiefs of Horace Mann. A certain spirit of fair play as well as a feeling of wholesome compe¬ tition is visible in the attitudes of Hor¬ ace Mann pupils as they go on proving that democracy is a living force in their school. About the same time that the Stu¬ dent Council held its first conclave un¬ der the guidance of Miss McWilliams, the Booster Club started beating the tom-toms. These boosters are the medi¬ cine men of Horace Mann. To them and their sponsor, Mr. Harvey, is en¬ trusted the responsibility for promot¬ ing loyalty to whatever projects the Chiefs decree for the good of the tribes. From their numbers come the cheer leaders who teach war chants— “O’, we’re from Horace Mann High School and no one can be prouder, and if you do not hear us, we’ll yell a little louder.” This group also sells tickets, plans money raising devices, and spear heads any undertaking which involves school welfare. The Social Committee and Mrs. Scott guard the social calendar with eagle eye; thus conflicts are avoided and big events of the tribe take place only under favorable omens. Tuesday night is set aside for a general pow¬ wow session by order of the Social Club Board. These elders paint the meeting chambers, supervise the ritual music, and guard against evil doers. 1949 saw the Big Chiefs taking the lead in promoting and sponsoring some worthwhile school activities and events. “Check your moccasins at the door” was the pass word at the Social Committee’s Sock Dance in October. Big Chief activities got into full swing in November. Student Council spon¬ sored a very successful College Day, while the tribes of the Social and Booster Committees joined forces and carried out a Mann-meet-your-fellow- Mann affair, otherwise known as the annual Who’s Who Dinner. Social Club, affectionately called the “Hang¬ out” became a regular Tuesday night tribal custom thanks to the fine work of Mr. McHargue and the Social Club Board. Yuletide spirit got a real boost from the Student Council’s holiday decora¬ tions throughout the school. A white Christmas plus the Council Holiday Ball, featuring Bill Funkey’s Orches¬ tra, were two events that helped close the year of 1948. Booster Club added to its savings and solved the school Christmas shopping problem, by sell¬ ing boxes of chocolate. (Continued on page S) Page
